Condensation on board

Warm air, cold hull, nowhere to dry

Sealed hull environments, temperature differentials, and limited ventilation create ideal conditions for condensation beneath mattresses and upholstery. Matnext Airflow 3D Mesh creates a continuous ventilation layer that prevents moisture build-up, protects interiors, and extends material life.

Made in Europe, cut to size in Germany. Built for the volumes shipbuilders, refitters and interior specialists order in, across superyacht, cruise, ferry and commercial marine. Shipped worldwide.

Applications

Applications across the yacht

Matnext Airflow 3D Mesh integrates into every area where moisture management and ventilation matter, from crew quarters to the owner's suite.

Owner's and VIP cabins

Deep mattress build-ups on closed berth bases. 15 mm as standard, 20 mm under heavy mattress systems.

Forepeak and hull-side berths

Berths in direct contact with the cold hull, where condensation forms first. 15 mm holds the gap against the hull, 20 mm against uninsulated steel.

Crew and guest berths

Shallow build-up, continuous occupancy. 10 mm ventilates without changing the berth height.

Saloon, seating, lockers

Cushions on solid surfaces that are rarely lifted. 10 mm underneath keeps the base dry.

Why 3D spacer fabric

A continuous ventilation layer beneath every mattress and cushion. Engineered to keep marine interiors dry, protected, and built to last.

The product
Moisture prevention

Placed beneath mattresses and cushions, the 3D mesh creates a continuous air gap so condensation can dry out instead of becoming trapped against sealed surfaces.

Material protection

By keeping interiors ventilated, the mesh prevents mould, mildew and premature wear, extending the lifecycle of upholstery and mattresses on board.

OEKO-TEX Standard 100

Independently tested and certified for prolonged skin contact. Made from 100 % polyester, in three profiles (10 mm, 15 mm and 20 mm) for every cushion and mattress build.

The supplier
Custom cut to size

Every position cut to your exact dimensions, from a single berth to a full class of vessels. No minimum order quantity.

Fast delivery

Ships within 48 hours from Germany, worldwide. Larger orders go by freight forwarder on request.

Direct supply

No middlemen, no agents. Volume pricing for yard, refit and fleet orders.

In continuous use

Stays open, night after night

The monofilament pile yarns bend under sleeping load and stand back up as soon as the load is gone, so the air gap does not disappear after the first season. The polyester takes up no moisture itself, and OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification covers prolonged skin contact.
