   My initial concern was the caustic nature of bleach. Even diluted, you're    
   going to get a nice white spot where the yellow one used to be. Lesser of    
   two evils to be sure! But Matt - I presume - will want to sleep on the bed    
   too.  I'm pretty sure the chlorine gas isn't going to be    
   poisonous, even straight out of the bottle, but I'm sure I would need some    
   adjustment period to fall asleep on the thing.   
      
   I could buy a new pillow-top for about $200 Canadian, but that doesn't help    
   Matt out a smidgeoun. Short of replacing the mattress and disallowing the    
   animals admittance....
