HyperVent Dimensions and Placement - Twin Bed Configuration

[Sam Heumann]

I've searched the forum for this topic and found references to bedding venting, but nothing relating to actual dimensions and placement. If I missed it, please point me in that direction.

I did, however, learn/relearn about the need for providing ventilation while using the heater to help minimize condensation.

I just purchased some HyperVent material for our trailer from a marine supply house and am curious as the the configuration of this material as provided by Oliver as well as what configuration others are using. I am surprised at how stiff this material is and also how sharp it can feel. Exposed edges will have to be covered with either its own liner or some other material.

Logically, venting the underside of the mattress via vent passages along the head,  inner hull sides and foot of the mattress make sense. Placing the HyperVent vertically along the aisle side of the mattress seems to be a comfort issue when making the bed.

So my questions are:

• How far up the sides does the HyperVent go - even with or above the top of the mattress? (again, I'm assuming 3 sides only)
• Is the base material trimmed away to allow overlap of the liner to cover the harsh base material edge?
• Did you make any allowances for mattress dimensions for using the Hypervent?

I purchased my Hypervent material on Amazon. I only installed it under my twin mattresses. Over 5 years, I have not had any problem with mattress moisture and it can get humid here in New England in the summer. In the winter, I do put the mattresses on edge on the hypervent material.

I personnally would not overlap the hypervent.

I have seen on the Oliver forum where some people have also installed it up on the sides of the mattress against the wall (I think even with the top of the mattress).
