Cold Weather - Condensation Buildup at Head of Bed

[danemayer]

DW went to change the sheets and found frozen condensation on the sides at the head of the bead. Temps have been below zero for a while and there's always some condensation buildup on the slide walls at the head of the bed.

We keep the mattress pulled away from the wall about 1" to allow air flow. But the sides of the mattress are tight against the side walls at the head of the bed.

I picked up two $ 0.88 small cookie sheets from Walmart and drilled 1/4" holes around the edge for ventilation, then stuffed one sheet on each side to create an air gap. Hopefully that'll prevent the problem from re-occurring.

Dan, that looks like a slick fix if it works.

I think maybe you and Ann have it backwards though . . . us old folks usually migrate to warmer weather when it gets cold (like below zero). Enjoy and have a happy and safe new year. Mike
