Soaked crash pad

Through some stupidity, my metolius session 2 crash pad got left in standing water overnight and is now water logged. 

I have tried putting it in front of a fan, dehumidifier, for a month now, and it's still heavy from water. Do I accept defeat? Does anyone have experience with fixing this? 

If it's still way heavy with water, the closed cell foam is retaining water.  Maybe try running it over with a truck a couple dozen times.  I'm only mildly joking.  I would definitely try that if I couldn't get the water out.

Yeah, I feared that was the issue. I can run it over a couple times for science and post my findings. 

Metolius has great customer service in my experience.  I might run it by them if I were in your shoes.

Have you taken the foam out of the pad? The water vapor is probably having a hard time passing through the coated fabric.

I took it out to dry. No dice. 

Could you try to blow dry the naked foam or cover it in water absorbing materials like salt to draw the moisture out, or would that cause damage.

Does metolius use a different foam compound from other brands? I’ve soaked my organic and mad rock many times to many degrees, and they always air dry just fine.
