Mold forming on the underside of the mattress.

Hi Pete,

My husband and I are in a dilemma with our existing king size Carrington Chase Latex mattress.
We’ve owned this mattress for more than a decade.  
It’s one sided mattress and ridiculously heavy, being all natural latex.
When we rotated it, we discovered an insane amount of mold forming on the underside of the latex mattress as well as on the tops of the box springs.  
We have young kids and one of them is medically fragile. 
So, I’m freaking out they have bunked with us so many times and been exposed.  
It’s like the underside of the mattress is weeping. Have you ever heard of such a thing? 
I doubt I have any recourse with the manufacturer since it’s past it’s warranty.
Needless to say, I want this out of my house ASAP and need to find us a new mattress.  
We want to downsize to a Queen and get a flippable innerspring mattress.  
Both side sleepers and each approximately 220lbs. 
I like it a bit firmer than he since he has nerve issues in his shoulders from side sleeping.
Any recommendations for us?  
I noticed the Wolf Brolynn on your site but are unfamiliar with the brand.  
Appreciate your help!
Best, Lisa
Hi Lisa,
I have heard of that happening before, but it was always with a memory foam mattress. 
Perspiration, usually promoted by memory foam, seeps into and through the mattress, then mold forms at the bottom.
You may be able to salvage what you have.
A peroxide or bleach solution will kill the mold.
A waterproof mattress protector will prevent that from reoccurring.
A waterproof mattress protector should be used with every mattress, as perspiration seeping into the mattress will break down the upholstery materials, causing the mattress to need replacing sooner than should be necessary.
Wolf was established in 1873 and is the oldest mattress manufacturer in the country that has been owned and operated by the same family…the Wolf family.
The Wolf Brolynn Old Fashioned Two Sided Mattress is very well made, providing excellent support, comfort and longevity.
It comes in a choice of comfort.
It ships quickly via ups.
