    Put some towels down to get rid of excess moisture. Then use a fan if you have one ,or a blow dryer.

      We turned our electric heater on last in my room for about 3 to 4 hours, than turned it off and than turned the heater back on this morning and we will leave it on all day today? Than i will get clean my mattress with Baking Soda/vinegar paste than let it stay on until the stains disapper than vacumm my mattress?

    Go to Wal-Mart and buy a $1 shower cutrain to cover it when you have to sleep on it. Uncover to let dry when not using it.

    Get a dehumidifier running a.s.a.p. or, you may get mold and mildew growth -try to stand it on its side to allow more air circulation (depending on HOW wet; put a towel underneath as, gravity will draw the moisture down)

      A heater will help and run a fan if you have one to circulate the air

      Then a mattress pad/protector would be a good idea -you can launder them :)
