IKEA king size mattress (GL1)

200 by 150cm.
Has damage, but IKEA refused to honour their guarantee about the rips in the foam and a rip in the fabric near one of the four handles. The outer fabric looks bad but we had a disabled dog who had a few accidents in her last few months.

 All accidents were immediately washed with a zoflora disinfectant solution and I used a wet vacuum cleaner on it many times to regularly clean it. **Sadly fire treated upholstery like this always looks like nasty yellow rings as it goes funny when washed.**

 In the majority of photos you can see the foam inside, after I've removed the outer fabric. It was attached via a big zip, so I've unzipped, removed it, and careful washed it flat in my bathroom. So this cover is clean and currently drip drying over a strong clothes horse. I intend to use the Vax on it tomorrow in the daytime to remove some more of the soapy water.

The damage to the foam is on the top layer but someone clever could replace it if they wanted it to feel like new, it's just a 1inch foam layer, glued down. I could feel the creases in the foam, but I have chronic fatigue (and highly likely I'm autistic) and spend a lot of time in bed, so comfort matters a lot to me.

I'd rather not send this to landfill if I can avoid it - hence the effort to clean it. With a good mattress topper you'd unlikely feel anything wrong. If the strains were actually dirty, I'd not be giving this away. If this mattress was the sort you could flip upside down, I'd be keeping it.

 It was looked after, it's just a shame that washing patches made the yellow rings. Hopefully they will be gone or almost gone after drying.
I cannot carry this, I'm not strong enough, sorry.
