Hey guys, I'm not sure if you are planning on doing this but you need to make sure your bed base has some type of airflow to allow the mattress to breath. If this means just cutting out some holes through the base it will prevent the mattress from accumulating moisture and then molding over time. You can get very sick from this!! (you may need to look a bit more into this) Great work nonetheless, how exciting!
