Military Foam Mattress For Duckboat Floor?

[Mike Trudel]

Does anyone no where you can get the olive green foam mattress sheets? I have been buying them from the Army Surplus store, however there seems to be a color change and I have the floor of my boat 1/2 done with olive.

Thank you for any help. Mike

My brother picked up a couple at a local good will store while out bargain hunting.

Saw a lot of them at a flea market, in East Aurora, NY. A vendor has a indoor stall with military items. I've had mine for 30+ years for field and boat use, and it has never failed me. They should come with a Snooze Alarm for non military use...

There were three major colors that I recall, grey, light OD and dark green. DRMO (Defense Utilization Marketing Office) used to hold sales. I think Ft McCoy had one, but I don't know if it's still in use... that said, if you can live with bulk you can bid on it: http://www.govliquidation.com/auction/search?cmd=results&fromsearch=true&words=sleeping mats. I've picked several up over the years in garage sales. I use them almost exclusively under layout blinds for goose, but also used as "stuffing" for the dog's blind mat.

Jim,

When I built my BB3 11-12 years ago I put these mats down with Weldwood Contact Cement .......... and they are still there. I also installed them in my Supermag layout. Contact cement works great as long as you remember you only get one shot at sticking them down.

Perfect. Thanks Pete!
