No you need skin to skin contact with a person who has the herpes virus or you need to have sex with someone who has the herpes virus. You can get it other ways, like through childbirth, but this is more rare.
You can NOT get herpes from a toilet seat, sharing a shower with someone, or from a mattress.
You can get cold sores (herpes simplex virus 1) from sharing lip stick or chap stick with someone who has the virus, and kissing someone with cold sores.
But, no, you will NOT get herpes (genital or cold sores) from a mattress.

If fluid containing the virus was recently on it -then yes, you can get it on your skin-but not genitally.
