Some types of mattresses, can get spontaneously combusted from heat build up caused by friction due to bacteria. For bacterias to generate heat and combustible gasses that would result in ignition creating smoke and fire ( in that sequence) there must be presence of both moisture and dryness. The moisture would be on the inside of a very dense amount of rotting cellulose, along with dry conditions on the outside to overcome the dampening effects of the internal moisture. It's just not something that would normally happen in everyday life.
However if the top of such mattresses made on inferior quality material are exposed to prolonged heat on a regular basis in a damp weather, it can create a favorable atmosphere to create such a phenomenon. Like during prolonged rainy season, if the top portion of your mattress gets sun rays everyday, the outside will be dry , while the moisture would be inside the mattresses creating such an environment.
Still, it is an event which occurs very rarely.

Imagine you have a small box inside a larger box, the temperatures are the same. If the smaller box contains high pressure gas, and you want to lower the pressure, you open the box. The same amount of gas has now diffused into the larger box. So I guess the answer to your question is that the gas will diffuse.
