Is it okay to reuse a crib mattress that has two small rips in it? What are the rules with crib mattresses?
WannaBeMom asked:
My year old crib mattress got two rips in it while moving, the rips are about ½ inch long.
My year old crib mattress got two rips in it while moving, the rips are about ½ inch long.
If I keep the side with the rips on the bottom and I put a mattress pad cover over the good side, will it be okay to use?
I was planning on having the baby sleep on the good side and keep the mattress well protected with a waterproof mattress cover.
What are the “rules” with crib mattresses? When should you throw them out or replace them?
Is this mattress purchase a good deal?
spkmyer asked:
I am looking into buying a new interspring mattress I had been planning on buying a new king size bed with a price range between 800-1000. I think that the beds are decent at this range. Well, this one chain in town has returned mattresses from customers who brought them back withing the 60 day time period. They tell me that these mattresses are not returned for defects and that they have been tested at their warehouse, and that some people return the simply because they did not like the feel after sleeping on them. They are offering a King size Sealy Postropedic Plush Rothchild that has an original price of $2700 for $700 + $200 for box springs no warranty though. I can’t find much info on the “Rothchild” and Im not sure how much to worry about the warranty. Opinions?

How to clean a futon mattress that water leaked onto?
Tell me something useful asked:
We have a futon mattress that got leaked on with water and it sat for awhile before we found out that water had been leaking on it. It smells a bit musty and has water stains on it. Is there anyway to clean this mattress without ruining it? Also, we life in the rainy NW so is there anyway to get it to dry out quickly since we don’t get the advantage of heat or alot of sunny days for outside airing.

Will a mattress that has been in a storage unit for two years be infested with bugs or mites?
stellar asked:
I have a mattress sitting in a storage unit NOT that tightly wrapped in this plastic mattress cover. Is it possible that it will be bug ridden deep inside the matress? Silverfish or bedbugs? Should it just be tossed out? I live in Missouri is that helps with the answer (we have lots of bugs here, ick. haha)
It is in the way back of the large storage unit so I won’t get to see it until we find a house and move everything out of it.

What kind of mattress is the Oakwood Dream Bed?
dottow asked:
For those of you that have stayed at Oakwood Apartments or others of you in the know, do you know by any chance the type of mattress that comprises the Oakwood Dream Bed? I need to change my mattress and this is by far the most comfortable bed I’ve slept on in several years… Sadly, it was 6 months ago and I never bothered to check the details. Can you help me out?
