    How to stop under a mattress?

    My kids sleep on stretchers with a thin mattress on top. Each morning the underside of the mattress is damp. I know why but stopping it would be nice.
    Would a thin piece of plastic between the stretcher and mattress do the job?

    If its raining we throw plastic over the top of our matress and it stops that clammy moist feeling it gets, it could work

    that will protect the stretcher, make sure the mattress's are completely dry to start of with.

    That's no different to mattress on floor of tent, needs airflow under mattress to stop or maybe a polatec blanket under mattress. Either way it needs airing every morning, the jayco did the same thing under the beds.

    I found that self inflating matress helped stop the moisture between the stretcher and matress

    We put foam floor mats (like these) under our mattress in the camper, seems to have stopped the moisture problem we where having. If you have some, give it a try.

    Haha. I have a few on the ground right next to me. I will try it out tonight.
    The moisture wasnt too bad last night but on cold nights they get pretty wet and the kids wake up wet themselves.

    On the mattress, kids can pee while they sleep and it won't soak through

    we uses these on the kids beds at home, for those just in case moments
