If you're concerned about humidity and have no dehumidifier, perhaps condider a plastic zip mattressover?
Usually they stay where you put them.
Make sure it is off the floor, propped up on wood blocks. Keep a box fan running on low all the time, in addition to a dehumidifier . Cover loosely with a fabric cover to keep dust off the mattress or a cloth envelope mattress cover.
