Why HyperVent?
HyperVent is the most practical solution for the
prevention of dampness (condensation) forming beneath boat
beds. Before HyperVent, the approach to dealing with dampness
and the resulting mold (odor) was to accept the problem as
inevitable and to treat the symptoms. The most common
treatment was simply drying the bedding above-deck in the sun
(if available).
What is HyperVent?
HyperVent is a special material that consists of a
white spun polymer woven into a large open configuration that
is bonded to a breathable white fabric layer. This light mesh
of polymer does not compress, allowing an open layer of air to
form. It is 20mm thick, allowing plenty of dry air to
circulate. Below is a close-up picture of the polymer matrix.
This material is lightweight and flexible, yet rigid enough to
hold its shape indefinitely. The texture of HyperVent can not
be felt even through the thinnest of mattresses!
HyperVent prevents
dampness and the accompanying annoyances in three ways:
1. Allows warm air to circulate under the mattress,
thereby minimizing an essential condition for condensation.
2. The circulating air allowed by HyperVent promotes
evaporation of moisture.
3. HyperVent separates the
bedding from any moisture that might form.
HyperVent works by creating a dynamic airspace below
the mattress
that prevents condensation and allows the
moist air to escape.
The primary
characteristics that contribute to the success &
satisfaction with HyperVent include:
~ |
The semi-rigid structure that
elevates the mattress and bedding (even with a heavy
person) and allows nearly unobstructed air flow |
~ |
Easy to cut (scissors work fine) |
~ |
Easy to join in order to make any
required extended width (with adhesive applied to a 75mm
overhanging flap which can act as a hinge) |
~ |
Easy to clean and dry if washed (very
durable, unaffected by common soaps, hot water or steam
cleaning) |
~ |
Very light weight (800 grams per square
yard!) |
~ |
Easy to roll up or bend through tight
passageways |
~ |
Virtually maintenance-free but can be
washed... extremely durable |
~ |
Outlasts the life of any mattress |
~ |
Unaffected by freezing temperatures (it
maintains its strength and flexibility) |
~ |
HyperVent comes in White in widths of 1
metre and uncut lengths to 30 metres |

Another brilliant idea for HyperVent
is to attach it to your car seat!
“Last year we did a trip around Australia and I suffered from extremely bad prickly heat. When we reached Bunbury in Western Australia, we bought our HyperVent and placed the off-cuts on our front seats. With the front windows open, the breeze went straight behind our backs clearing up my prickly heat in a couple of days!”
