I recently helped a friend back to my apartment after they drank a little too much at a party. After helping them in bed and and going to bed downstairs, I find the next morning the bed soaked with a large urine spot. That morning I used mild hand soap to spread around as I could, hoping it could help and let the mattress dry for the rest of the day after rinsing the spot with clean water. The surface dried and so I thought it was fine to sleep on that night and did so. The next morning I feel under the covers and find the spot to be damp again. A little disgusting… I’ve tried to follow the above directions, but feel as if I couldn’t get enough water out afterwards/use enough woolite mixture/use enough or not enough of both mixtures. Also I’ve begun this process at night time and am worried that leaving this outside overnight will not aid in the drying process as the temperature is only 48* outside. This is the best I can do in my current situation and am wondering if it is even helping…

“Space Bag” is the brand name of a line of plastic bags designed for storage. They have an opening in the side where you can connect a vacuum hose and suck the air out. That flattens the items inside and makes them store in a much smaller space. You can buy them at a lot of places — Walmart, Amazon.com, Target, probably just about anywhere.

I would stay away from mawandpawsbargains store/ebay & lastingimpressionsfoam they claim that there products are made in the USA & have the same specifications as Tempur, wich is a flat out LIE, its as bad as the China fakes! there 12″ model doesnt rise to 12″ 11″ only, even after 2-3 days instead of 2-3 hours,/recommended, the middle of the grey base support is VERY soft hence the large sink hole I slept in,along with the wonderfull GRRRRR curved hammock affect, the outside edges are very hard & firm, the 3″ memory foam is NOT 5.3 lb density, its more like cheap standard yellow egg crate foam, SUMMARY-so with a cheap, poorly made base, with an even cheaper foam topper layer, & a mattress that doesnt exspand to the full advertised height, your left with the biggest peice of junk mattress on the market, sleeping on the floor with a blanket, or a barn full of hay,or laying on the grass under the stars, would be FAR better. I would AVOID the before mentioned names, like the GREAT PLAGE” on feels like a Chinnese quality, Fake, Knock Off, Mattress. DONT be scammed by there email reply’s & fancey hyped up, bold faced, advertiseing LIES. After buying from ebay-seller-mawandpawsbargains, wich they buy from Lasting empression foam, while being the worst bed mattress exsperiance of my life, while wasting, & scamming my $299.00, for the 12″ queen mattress. A week latter being fed-up I just went to my local bed store & bought a nice quility bed, that was on sale, that beats the mawandpawsbargains & lastingimpressionsfoam, mattresses, wich are MAJOR peiceses of JUNK, hands down,my new bed is GREAT, I will soon be sleeping very nicely indeed. I will leave my mawandpawsbargains & Lasting empression foam mattress were it belongs in the Garbage can, GOOD RIDENS! I treully hope this helps some one out, to NOT make the same mistake.

My daughter insisted on having a memory foam mattress when she moved to her apartment during her senior year of college. The best way to transport it back home after school was to place it in a space bag. Now that she is living at home again we decided to just keep it stored in the space bag. Think about. When she received the mattress in the mail it was shipped in something like a space bag. Why not store it like the manufacturer does.

Last year I washed my memory foam pillow. I put it in a big utility sink and submerged it in a weak solution of laundry soap. It came out fresh as a daisy, but I had to wait almost a month before I could sleep on it! The task of getting all the soap and excess water out of it left me aching for two days. Then, on a rack, under a screen, under a blistering summer sun, it took nearly 3 weeks ’til it was fully dry in the center (luckily no mildewing, though).
Now I keep it in double pillow cases hoping I won’t have to do that again any time soon. Good luck!

How do I store a memory foam topper? I have a good one that I am not using as I got a new bed and want to put it away until I can give it away to someone. Do I roll it up, fold it or what???

I tried cleaning a memory foam and hurt my back trying to lift. I was washing out a cat urine stain, using the bathtub. I tried to pick up enough to turn and strained my back. I ended up hernating a disc as a result. Don’t lift unless you have a partner to help (!!)especially when its wet
