Memory Foam Mattress - Winter Storage

Am considering replacing my current 'original' mattress with a memory foam type.

Question for those who have memory foam mattresses? Do you remove the mattress over the winter or leave it in the unit. If it is left in the unit do you take any special precautions? I live in Southern Ontario where the temperature can drop to -20 degrees C. (-5 F).

thanks

    What are your concerns? Foam is foam and fairly impervious to temperature changes other than it will be stiffer lying on it in freezing weather ( I see this as a moot point). If you are concerned about rodents etc, that's different and a concern regardless of weather.

    We leave ours in the FW and have no concerns whatsoever. Have had MF mattresses in all our previous RV's for 10 years and they've seen sub 0 temps. Never an issue.
