Hello! The last two mattresses I have had have gone mouldy on the underside of the mattress, plus mould had grown on the wooden slats of the bed. 1 latex and 1 was 100% wool. The 100% wool one developed this mould last winter very quickly. I have bought a replacement latex mattress - though it is wrapped in cotton with a layer of wool between the latex and cover. Im obviously keen for my new mattress to remain mould free and dry, I feel the issue is the following: I'm bed bound due to a chronic illness so using the mattress 24/7. Due to symptoms I think my body radiates a lot of heat and I think the differential temp between the wooden slats and the warm mattress causes a layer of condensation over time is turning to mould?? The mattress company couldn't help. Does anyone here have any other useful tips please?? An idea I had was to put a small fan heater underneath the bed and give an occasional blast of heat to the underside of the mattress and the slats?? I can't tolerate the central heating on for very long periods due to illness reactions, so this may also be a contributing factor, I do ventilate the room well. thank you very much in advance.
BTW I have to have latex mattresses due to chronic electrical sensitivities, meaning I can't have metal in a mattress.
