Michael,

I think it was like a filter material. I think it was in a Passagemaker
mag. I will look in the one that I have and see. Good Luck finding and let
us all know.

Thanks to everyone who replied to my question. I have located the Passagemaker with the article in it. It seems a little pricey so I am going to try a couple of other things first. I am going to put down some lattice panels as found at Home Depot, thin plastic ones, and then put sheets of cardboard between them and the mattress. Not very yachty but it may work. If I still have problems I will try putting a few holes in the plywood under the lattice.

I will report back with the results.

Use wooden ones, as thick as you can get them and with large holes
(there are two types). The idea here is to get air circulating, so
try to create as much space between the mattress and the bunk. Hey if
it works for us here in Canada - should work anywhere else :-)

P.s: Wooden slats are usually stapled together with the scratchy end
of the staple sticking out a bit and possibly scratching your
furniture. So, lay the lattice panels on a hard flat base and hammer
the protruding staples flat.
