Pour some vinegar over the stain and stick the mattress in the sun for a few hours.
For really bad stains you might want to repeat this a few times.

Treat it with some hydrogen peroxide. Pat the stain with a towel (one that you don’t mind bleaching, preferably white), working from the outer circle of the stain in. You will notice the spot start to bubble as the hydrogen peroxide works to remove the stain. Warning: Hydrogen peroxide can bleach fabric. Using it on your mattress may bleach it. Make sure you spot-check your mattress before applying hydrogen peroxide. You can also try using white vinegar. If you attempt to clean the spot with white vinegar, treat the stain with the same method as the peroxide, blot the stain with a towel from the outside of the stain to the inside of the stain until it is removed.
Because urine may seep further into the mattress, make sure you cover the freshly cleaned area with baking soda to neutralize the odor and leave the baking soda on the damp area overnight. The next day vacuum the baking soda off the mattress. To further remove the odor you may want to put a couple of drying sheets on the mattress before putting the bedding back on.
Always remember, no matter what stain you are trying to remove, try your best to avoid dampening the inner mattress padding. If the mattress’ padding has been dampened by cleaning liquids or water it can be much more difficult to completely dry. If a mattress is not totally dry when covered with sheets and blankets, remaining moisture can cause mold and mildew to grow within the mattress. If this happens you will not only further damage your mattress, you will start to notice a strong odor and can potentially get sick from mold and mildew.
Get a waterproof pad to over plastic that will make it more comfortable. Good Luck!!

The new oxygenating products. Take the mattress and spray with pet odor, urine spot remover, then let it air for 24 hours, put a plastic zippered case on after it's fully dry.

Buy new sheets and get a water proof mattress cover for the next accident.
