I found a really good resource to cleaning my king memory foam mattress from here:http://www.ergoflex.com.au/blog/tags/Clean.
Basically use some mild detergent and a very small amount of got water. Scrub it, and then leave it to dry in a warm place.


Try not to use too much water as this might damage the mattress.

Sprinkle the memory foam with either baking soda or some other powdered cleaning agent. 3. Allow the powder to sit for 30 minutes. 4. With a hand vacuum, vacuum up the powder. Be sure to use circular motions and make sure you get both sides of the mattress. Vacuuming will pick up debris such as lint, dust and dead skin cells. 5. Once vacuumed, spot clean the memory foam using a mild detergent. Use a warm damp washcloth and a small amount of detergent and gently blot the stain until the stain gets out. 6.

The truthful answers is: "It's the thickness you are willing to pay for".
