Mattress Save
How do I get a musty/dusty/moldy smell out of a mattress?

Hi! My husband and I just moved back to the US after four years overseas. While we were gone, our stuff sat in storage, including this mattress. No matter how I try, I cannot get the musty smell out of it. I have put baking soda on it and vacuumed. I have put scented carpet powder for pet smells/mold on it and vacuumed. I have sprayed the mattress down with antibacterial disinfectant spray and vacummed. I have Frebreezed and everything. Still, the mattress smells musty and dusty. It is so bad, that the whole room smells musty (thankfully, it is only a spare bedroom). And even worse, if you lay anything on the bed, like clothes, the smell transfers to the clothes.

I told my husband that the mattress has to go. He still thinks it can be saved. So I have come to you all seeking the answer.

Is the mattress beyond hope? Should I throw it out? Or can the mattress be saved? Do you have a remedy for the smell?

Looking forward to your ideas and answers.
Thanks…
T.

Component Mattress
What components does a bed need besides the mattress and the spring thingy?

I’ve never had to put one together before. Right now in our room we have the mattress and the thing that goes underneath it that has springs all over it. It’s pretty low….what else is it supposed to have ….a bed rail? I want a bed thats pretty high. And when I stayed at a hotel recently they had something that went all the way around the bed, like wooden and their bed was pretty high. Clue me in please?

Either a bedframe and headboard (footboard optional) or a platform to lift it off the floor. Personally I prefer the platform, but then you need to find a friend who’s handy to make it for you. But cover it with faux black leather and you’ll have something that Ralph Lauren charges almost $2000 for in one of his stores.
