A glimpse of who we are
Let's discuss your ideasGet to know us
We are a couple driven by our shared passion for design, comfort, and the timeless allure of the ocean.
Looking back, it’s easy to see how our childhood interests shaped who we are today. I, Magdalene, born and raised in ancient rich history and culture diversity of Jerusalem, as a child, I found myself constantly redecorating and rearranging furniture in our home, much to my mother’s amusement (and sometimes frustration). That early love for colors, textures, and spaces laid the foundation for my future in interior/design, and later, in the luxury hospitality sector. Today, that same creative energy fuels my work in designing bespoke yacht upholstery, from custom bed linens to mattresses, where comfort meets elegance.
Gerben’s journey was equally telling. Raised in Friesland, a region intertwined with water, he was always building and creating whether it was crafting structures or tinkering with the mechanics of things. His love for water sports was ever-present, as was his fascination with how things work and fit together. These passions naturally evolved into a career focused on precision and craftsmanship, now embodied in Comfortis, where his expertise and skills in technique meet his love for the water.
Our childhood passions have come full circle. We now merge our experiences as Comfortis®, a team of passionate people, who love what they do.
Our team
Our team is a mix of skilled artisans, creative designers, and dedicated professionals who come together every day in our workshop in Lemmer. We're all unique and different, but we have one thing in common: our passion for creating handcrafted exceptional marine mattresses, upholstery, and yacht interiors.
Our shared love for the water and attention to detail means that every aspect of our work reflects a commitment to luxury, comfort, and craftsmanship. What we create isn’t just functional; it’s a continuation of the passions we’ve carried with us from childhood to today.
Interested in joining our team? We’re always on the lookout for talent.
