Perhaps your shoreside mattress has a vapor barrier. Also, perhaps moisture
does not migrate through cotton mattresses as readily as it does the spongy
foam mattress.
Perhaps your shoreside bed plywood is not as cold as the one on the boat so
there was not as much migration of the moisture from the top to the bottom.
Perhaps the air in your house is dryer than the air on a boat, the marine
environment is so moist, so the bedding would have a better chance to dry out
between uses.
