| I'm with jamimom on the plastic covers (and having a good laugh at her description). Luckily (yes, luckily!) my s. had asthma so we were used to doing it at home and he didn't balk at taking one to school. Some dorm mattresses do have a kind of plasticized surface - look like regular ticking but you could wipe them clean - so you might not have to have the waterproof cover. Think of a dorm mattress as a large, rectangular petri dish in a greenhouse environment. |
