I have a memory foam matress on top a cot. Every now and then I need to sun dry the mattress and cot from a decent amount of moisture trapped between the two. Is there a way to keep the moisture out or even just reduce it?

      Been there done that. Got some good gigs as a mildew-man but eventually the mycelium grafting into my neurons was starting to cause motor function issues so I had to give that life up. Good times though it felt like microdosing on cube shrooms 24/7 overall I’d do it all again if I had the chance.

      One of my more iconic acting roles you might recognize :

    Sailor here.

    I’ve put those plastic shower tile mats under my mattress. The ones that help with draining water while keeping your toesies dry.

    It lets enough air flow through that it can dry up under the mattress. Others just drill a bunch of airholes in their berths.

    Do you use a bed protector between the sheets and mattress? Humans sweat a lot at night, naturally. Bed protectors protect against the 7+ fluids that can come out of you, lol. It might be worth a shot.
