I have ready contacted dealer and am about to take my details in so that they can order new.

BUT WHY don't they just recall them .
It's so annoying expecting people to find out or notice problems . This is not only bailey who do this they all do. I don't know of any caravans that are trouble free.
I'm just grateful for our warranty.

Seems all very odd to me? We all have beds at home and don't need special materials to stop them going mouldy?!!

The difference is simply air circulation and the lack of it while the vans in storage. Due to this problem, most manufactures have been fitting large air vents in the floor under the bed, works to a reasonable extent to keep the mattress aired in storage but as many have found, the draught through the oversized vents ruins the heating while in use?!!

So Bailey may have come up with another idea? but to my mind, don't be in a rush to make the bed in the morning and leave the bedding turned down. That should help a lot in the first place but strip the bed and prop the matteress up a little in storage so fresh air circulates freely around it

There is a long discussion about this subject on another forum but to put Bailey owners in the picture I will try to explain.

Some and not all Bailey vans produced since October 2011 to possibly December 2012 have been supplied with faulty covers to the mattresses due to a manufacturing error from Bailey's suppliers Belfield Furnishings.

The problem is that the covers absorb damp to such an extent that they feel and are wet and not just cold and damp. This apparently was due to the wrong solution of fire retardent being used.

The correct process if you are a victim is to contact your dealer who will then send a request form to Bailey under the warranty. Once this has been accepted then either you should take your mattresses to the dealer or, if the distance is a long drive, arrangements can be made for them to be picked up and taken direct to Belfields. It seem that can take around 10-14 days. They are recovered and returned and it seems this has solved the problem.

Some people, including myself, have had to return them twice as it was only found out last week that it was the material that was the cause.

Hope this helps those who are concerned. I feel sorry for all those who will be getting their vans out of storage for the spring and don't frequent forums so will know nothing about this.

Bailey have not issued a recall notice and that is probably an issue in itself!
