Offered By CC Design

With thanks to CC Design


The life of yacht crew is not easy. For all the obvious - and well-publicised - advantages to undertaking a career aboard a superyacht, the hours are long, the work demanding and the clients even more so.

Here at Yachting Pages we strive to make a difference, or at least help to make life on board a little less stressful. In our Tried & Tested feature, we task market-leading brands to conduct real-world tests on essential yacht products and services, providing a comprehensive breakdown of their findings. With this information, your purchasing decisions on board should be that bit easier, and you can be sure you are selecting the very best luxury products for your superyacht owner or charter guests to provide a seven-star service.

Utilising all its industry experience and expertise, the brand independently rates and reviews each product in line with key criteria, providing an unbiased verdict on which products are best suited to life on board, saving you precious time, effort and energy.

In this review, luxury bed and linen specialist CC Design runs the rule over a selection of the finest bedding on the market, highlighting their pros and cons and crowning an overall Tried & Tested winner.
