Sunken Foam Mattress

Options
Hi

I purchased one of these mattresses for our baby's camp cot - which she uses on a daily basis.

Unfortunately, she has vomited (just usual milk bring ups) whilst lying in the cot, and although the cover is removeable the bit where she vomited has sunken and there is now a dip in the mattress.

I have sponge cleaned the foam bit of the mattress (so that there is no vomit smell), but there is an obvious dent in the mattress - probably where her head rested on the wet patch.

Any idea how I can get this dent to undent itself ?

Failing which, I am going to have to get rid of the mattress because I can't let her sleep with her head in such an obvious hole!

    Personally, I'd send it back. I don't think apart from turning it over (think I am right in saying that you can not with this type) and using the other side there is a way to reshape a mattress.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Could you turn it head to toe?

    When you take the cover off, to wash it, one side of the foam is coloured yellow, and the other side is coloured white, so think that there is some reason for this (white was originally at underside, so we have stuck with this).

    Can't just turn the matress top to toe because the top bit has air holes in it (so baby can breathe if laying on its front).

    I have had it three + months already, and don't know where my receipt is - although I did purchase it on-line.
