A few years ago, one of those teeny- bopper boy stars--- might have been a Jonas brother--- made the news when he ran over a mattress in his Escalade... he pulled over and stopped, but the thing had already wrapped around the axle, and ignited. Burned the car to the ground, but fortunately, nobody hurt.

Good rule of thumb: never ever ever ever ever EVER run over mattreses. I cannot imagine how difficult it would be too unravel and remove all of the wire, foam, fabric, and mite colonies, even IF it didn't directly damage the vehicle.
