I have to agree with Henry on the overall location of the beds themselves. I am also a PDQ 34 owner and have spent many nights onboard, often at anchor. The least motion experienced is in the aft of these boats. The most memorable (unsettled) sleeping motion I can recall was in Annapolis Harbor late in October during a Northeast Blow. We were on a mooring ball in the harbor off of the Naval Academy seawall and talk about a confused chop! The water there simply has no place to go due to the containment of the harbor so we moved at all angles all night. No real rhythm or pattern. Of course the Admiral remembers not a thing but I was a body in motion. That night a good friend who was tied up to a T head suffered some damage due to the wave action. I also feel that the orientation of the beds being "port - stbd" keeps any beam sea condition easier to deal with. Head to toe motion is more comfy than side to side IMHO.
