How do I clean a mattress when the weather outside is crummy?
Koldsauce asked:
My buddy lent me a mattress for a week before I get a real bed. I’d like to clean it because I know where it came from was a terribly messy place. What can I do? The weather outside is too wet to air it out, would febreeze work? What about for bed bugs? Thanks in advance

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.

How often should a high quality mattress be replaced?
Tira Misu asked:
I’m interested in your personal experience, not an answer from a sales person. Our mattress is in what I believe to be good condition without any problems, but am wondering what the “life” is of an average mattress. And, any thoughts on the box spring would be helpful too. Many thanks!

Is an air mattress good for your back?
mayerj72 asked:
I have a futon mattress at the moment and it’s really uncomfortable. Other mattresses I was looking at are way too expensive for me. I basically need a mattress that is very firm. Almost as firm as the carpet on the floor since that feels the most comfortable for me. Otherwise I wake up with my back hurting. Would an air mattress be a good choice for me?

How can I rid a mattress of cat urine smell?
sjvilla79 asked:
Had the mattress (only a few months old) professionally cleaned already. The only problem is that doing so only worked about 65% on the smell. I’m told the mattress has been sanitized now though and it’s good for use again. But how can I ultimately rid the mattress of its prevailing smell? Products, tips, or anything else please!
