Does anybody have any idea how to get smells out of a foam mattress. She says it smells a bit musty What can I use I have already washed the covers but now I need to treat the mattresses with something
Any ideas
I've actually washed foam mattresses with soapy water (important not to use too much detergent) and then man handled (am I allowed to say "man handled" these days 
) them into the washing machine and put on the spin cycle. Or you can leave them sitting on the clothes line for a week to dry out (good weather needed of course). It all depends on the size of the mattress and if you have plenty of fresh water to rinse the detergent out and then some where to dry it back out.
I've never heard of any miracle spray or easy fix especially if the mattress has any salt build up in it.
Put the mattress out in the sun. The sun has ultraviolet rays the kill bacteria that causes smells.
baking soda and vacuum
Then buy her a mattress topper but she won't get out of bed then you will have to lift your own anchor and raise the main and make her a cuppa 
My memory foam 7inch topper smelt lovely like rubber when it was new.....
now it smells like Cats wee and I have my forward cabin shut down ...
I tryed washing it but it was like a big sponge and took weeks to dry.
I have been looking at getting a custom innerspring made by "making mattress" but I see no point untill the cat works out its not a toliet

This is what I have been putting over my original mattresses for past 6 years. Bit of A mission cutting it to fit yacht cabins but worth it.
a bread knife or super sharp knife or I have always thought a electric carving knife would be good.
always good delivery comes in a roll and basicly $150 for a double/queen.
FWIW when I hire a carpet shampoo machine I give the boat foamies a go too . Leaving them to dry in the sun. Never use the commercial detergent, Google Shannon Lush carpet cleaning recipe, it has eucalyptus, clove oil etc. Comes up very nicely.
I have a easy solution to musty smells in my mattress. I let the dog sleep with us on it....smelly dog out smells any other odor first time every time
Another more serious idea is I often leave the mattress chocked up....so air circulation can get in and underneath.

This would be a significant deal breaker in my relationship with the cat!
spray the mattress evenly and liberally with a can of Glen 20, use the whole can, then air it out.
