I guess its that time of year again. What do we do about condensation under mattresses? Besides moving south that is.

Somewhere I saw a pad that looked like steel wool on one side that went under the mattress. Of course when I need it I can't find it. Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance for this and all the other questions you guys have all the answers for.

I use a layer of wooden lattice (builders supply) under my mattress.
Lets air circulate and keeps moisture from building up. Been using it
for 5 winters.

I have recently gone through a re-roofing project at home. For
ventilation, we used a product called Cobra Ridge Vent under the ridge
cap along the peak of the roof. This product is similar to a washable
filter media but firmer and more crush resistant -- sort of a beefed
up version of a scotch brite pad. The product is about 3/4" thick and
12" wide and is sold in 20 foot rolls. I paid $55 per roll at Home
Depot. Since that was Canadian funds, you should be able to get two
rolls for that price in the U.S.A., which should be enough for a
breathable underpad for a queen size mattress. It might just work.

The usual disclaimers apply.

Aeratingly yours, (Sorry, Alex, but you've started a trend. :-)
