How can I dry a really wet mattress?


Question:I am in college and I just bought a really good mattress. Well during the move it randomly began pouring down rain. Needless to say the mattress is soaked. Is there a way to dry quickly so that mold will not be a problem. There is no way I can throw this mattress away! Any advice?

Answers:
Big fans and febreeze I have 2 year olds so we wash our matress a lot.


A hair dryer and lots of patience!
Set a small electric space heater near it, maybe two feet away, and move it every now and then. If theres anyway of dragging your mattress onto a sunny patio while doing this that should help speed it up.

try leaving it outside on a hot day,or at a window if its raining and turning it accasionally.or using a hairdryer,but that will take ages.I dont think there is a quick way of doing this
I suggest this. If you have a dehumidifier this will help take a lot off the water out. also keeping it next to an open window.
I would leave it out side to dry and then if you have to bring it in the house I'd set some fans around it. Good luck.
