Mouldy Mattress's

[Johnstons]

Hi just wondering if anyone puts any sort of material under mattress's to stop mould?
I have heard of a product called Aeromesh which is like a non slip style material so mattress can breathe.
Cheers

Personally have never had an issue with mould in 30 years of caravanning. Have always made sure of providing adequate ventilation so condensation has never been an issue. If you believe you're providing effective flow through ventilation, maybe try a piece of insulation material (foil) or even just an old blanket under mattress as a first option.

Were like Xpandafan never had a problem like that and weve been in some pretty ordinary places

We did have a moisure issue under the matress of our soft floor. I used adoubled over piece of shadecloth under the mattress, seemed to help.

Sounds like you already have mould ... If you are having trouble treating it Google Oil of Cloves, it will give you some handy stuff to actually kill it, not just remove it. Once you have done that I would try some of the responses above to avoid it happening again!

Hi @Johnstons .. we don't have mould (yet) but do have moisture under the mattress at times ... I have bought the aero mesh and it's still in the lounge room!!! Hopefully it will be great once we actually getting in the van

Thanks everyone.
We got some moisture under mattress after camping away last time. It rained constantly for 5 days and we did have the heater on.
We had top windows open when we could to air out but obviously not enough.
Just don't want a mould issue and wanted to try and keep them dry.
We are getting waterproof bed ends made up now so at least we can open up bed ends even if it is raining to get some airflow.

Thanks again for comments.
