Buckwheat hull mattresses in damp climates?

Does anyone here have a buckwheat hull mattress in a climate that makes the house a bit damp and mould-prone in winter?

The wool and latex mattresses my family has need to be aired out pretty much every day in autumn and winter. Airing out a buckwheat hull mattress seems pretty challenging or maybe impossible, so I’m trying to figure out the best way to set it up to make sure it doesn’t get damp or mouldy.

Would putting it on top of a wool floor rug, on the wood floor be a good spot for it, or is it likely to get damp underneath?

Are there ways I can modify a standard slat bed base to make it suited to a buckwheat hull mattress? Are any of these ideas going to work when the other mattresses on slat bases get damp?

Are we going to have more luck with this mattress if we try and fix the damp problem first by installing another woodstove or insulating the floor?

This is the type of mattress I am thinking of setting up: http://openyoureyesbedding.com

If your wool on a slatted frame needs to be aired out, wool on the uninsulated floor would get even damper. Doesn't sound like a good place for a buckwheat mattress.

Are your slatted frames quite close to the floor? Maybe lifting them higher would allow more air to circulate.

To modify a slatted frame for buckwheat, I would try a wire mesh on top of the slats. Don't bother trying any kind of fabric stretched over the slats. I know from experience there won't be enough airflow.

Floor insulation would almost certainly help.

Buckwheat hull mattresses absolutely need a solid surface - slate or mesh won’t work.

My experience, here in the UK, is that they need no special care to keep them aired, beyond an occasional day with the covers thrown right back. They have great internal airflow naturally due to the nature of the hulls and they are not absorbent of moisture unlike natural fibers.

Like you I started with a normal bed and tried to convert it to buckwheat - I started with laying a solid base over the slats (a sheet of heavy plywood). However, I really should have also added vertical edging to hold the buckwheat bags as they shift and move.
