Moisture under an RV mattress can cause mould formation. To prevent mould, HyperDrii has a 100% authentic solution and ensures that it will not ruin mattresses.
People who spend a lot of time in RVs might begin to detect some weird mouldy type odours. At times, this odour can become quite unpleasant and can even make life difficult while living in the RV. They might not even be able to detect where the smell is coming from. Or, after a while, they might, over time, become desensitized to the odour and unaware of the intensity. The cause might be from mould forming under their RV mattress or cushions.
The formation of mould is due to a fairly common reason, which is that moisture has become trapped and has several other favourable conditions in which to take hold. When conditions are in its favour mould starts forming, and, as a result, may affect human health and all the while creating unpleasant odours.
The question is: where does the moisture come from in the RV? Moisture gets trapped and with the right conditions promotes mould and mildew growth.
Top Reasons for Trapped Moisture
- High humidity
- Steam and water vapour formed during cooking and bathing get trapped
- Lack of ventilation
- Improper air exchange
- Dampness
- Cool temperatures
- Condensation
All these are possible reasons why moisture might be an issue, but let us state the real problem: Condensation.
When warm air comes in contact with a cold surface, the moisture in the atmosphere turns into water and the liquid sits on the cold surface. When people lie on a mattress to sleep, the body produces heat. However, the surface below the mattress is cold. Such a temperature difference along with body heat causes any trapped moisture to condense underneath the mattress. With no airflow, the moisture can’t evaporate and instead, it accumulates, which can potentially form mould and mildew under the mattress.
The worst part is that most people completely overlook the importance of proper and careful placing of their mattresses in an RV, boat or cottage. They don’t know how significant it is to take care of the placement of the mattress with sufficient air circulation. And, when people are in an RV for travelling or camping for extended periods, it becomes even more important to allow the air to circulate. RV mattresses don’t have box springs, instead, they sit directly on a hard surface which can allow the growth of mould and harmful microbes. Though humidity under the mattress is hard to manage, it can easily be handled following a few steps.
The number one thing to do is provide good airflow to the mattress so that the moisture can evaporate and leave no food source for the formation of mould. One needs to allow the mattress to breathe as well. How can one allow airflow under the mattress?
- The first way is to periodically flip the mattress. That will enable the bottom of the mattress to air out and expel the moisture. We recommend flipping the mattress daily, especially when there are humid days.
- Reduce moisture by having airflow under the mattress. This is best handled by placing a piece of HyperDrii matting underneath the entire shape of the mattress.
Improper ventilation and no airflow can cause mould and microbes to attack your sleeping area. Hyperdrive venting mat prevents the growth of mould, microbes, mildew, and fungus by allowing proper ventilation under the bed by allowing moisture that otherwise would be trapped to escape.
Introducing HyperDrii
HyperDrii's special construction creates a venting mat because its open texture allows air to flow by creating the space for air movement. This allows evaporation which keeps your mattress free from mould and mildew.
The rigid construction of HyperDrii is surprisingly quite flexible and light, making it easy for you to carry, bend and cut to the shape you need. If it even gets soiled, you can easily clean it by using soap and water.
As HyperDrii is constructed to boost ventilation for many areas other than for use in RV, cottage or marine environments it has many other uses and applications. The mat creates a durable open space between wall spaces which is useful in new home construction, and under other large items such as storage containers, enabling airflow and venting potential moisture that might cause rust.
Other than acting as a guarding layer between your valuable mattress and bed deck, HyperDrii can also be utilized as a mesh to prevent debris from clogging drains. People can also utilize it under their marine batteries, under coolers and in storage lockers where moisture commonly gets trapped. HyperDrii vent mat lessens the potential for damage by enabling warmer air to circulate and reduces opportunities for mould and mildew from forming.
Installing a HyperDrii venting mat under a mattress might be the best small investment made. HyperDrii can be ordered in popular pre-cut mattress sizes or 50' rolls.
