Is my mattress ruined?

Help-DD1 had a few accidents recently and as a result her mattress is not smelling the sweetest. Cant use the waterproof mattress protectors as they make her sweat and give her a really high temperature and because the accidents were unusual for her we hadnt got any bed pads on the bed. Is the mattress permanently ruined or can anyone suggest a way of cleaning it that means she wont be breathing in chemically stuff.

bicarb gets rid of the smell, sponge it through, dry really well then sprinkle it on

a solution of vinegar and water will neutralise the wee smell and then fivie it a good day in the sun.
Or a solution of eucalyptus oil would do the trick but that may leave oil marks on the mattress so it's up to you.
