Last winter I got fed up with the whole palaver each morning of trying to dry out the underside of my mattress. It's on a wooden panel above the cab and ventilation would be awkward and insufficient. I started wondering how I could solve the problem at the source.
I ditched the old mouldy mattress and put the new one inside a fully waterproof duvet cover liner. My mattress protector goes on top of that to reduce the very slight crinkliness even more. I don't wake in a puddle of sweat and the underside of the mattress is always COMPLETELY DRY!
(Yes I could have probably just used a waterproof fitted sheet, but I wanted to enclose it to protect from condensation running down the walls and the occasional disaster when it rains and I left the window open)
I bought the cover from a place that sells useful things for elderly and disabled people, it cost $60 but we'll worth it. You can also get fully enclosing mattress covers but this was what they had in stock.
