did a search for 'fabric' and all it turned up was 12,862 thread on fiberglass so hope not too redundant of a post here.

I'm making new beds for the Carver and not sure what kind of fabric to be looking at to wrap the foam in. There are soooo many and not sure what best suited for a boat cabin.

cotton, ply, blend, muslin, heavy, medium...

Not sure I get what you mean. The link is correct. When you get there, on the left hand side of the page is the menu to his store with all the various kinds of material he carries. Vinyl, Sunbrella etc... You can pick from all the various Colors and patterns.
