HyperVent Marine - Putting An End To Condensation
A really good solution, but expensive. Others have used cedar trellis material or polymer. There have to be other materials, as this is just an open melt-spun polymer.

If the mattress is just on a slab of plywood , drilling holes works well .
The area under the mattress will need to be vented to the cabin too.
Frequently under bunk storage is isolated from the boat , is colder as it has the cold hull chilling it , so the warm air condenses under the mattress . The heat and humidity from bunk occupants adds to the moisture.

First you have to make sure your mattress does not absorb moisture as many due. We have an electric blanket on low 24/7 during the colder months, which keeps the bed warm and dry. Crawling into a warm dry bed is the next best thing to having a warm body to keep you warm!

Having enjoyed a couple of decades of NYC winters aboard , for the dockside or offshore sailor , this is the best item that can be aboard.

Installed the much recommended HyperVent under mattresses last weekend. Due to its obvious value, I also now fully recommend it.
