the only thing i can think of is fabreeze both sides of matress a couple of times ?

It's what i'd have done.

have you given it a good vacuuming?

I'd hoover it, cover it till quite damp in a fabric freshner (like Febreeze) and stick it outside (or on a balcony etc) to air for a few hours. I think I'd then repeat the process.

thats what i would do.. about 10 times to get rid of smoke, it will take time but will fade away in the end!

how about one of those covers to stop 'leakages'. would that stop the smell coming out?

i would go with what the girls have said. frebreeze it and leave it outside if you can.
