Tell the person at the store what you need, they might be able to help you. You are right, darning isn't an option, but a patch might work.

But seriously! To strip the bed and spend that much time doing that much damage, that's not normal. I don't think that's a phase. He's doing this stuff at home too. Gotta be! Good luck.
I intended to sew it, kind of like darning to give it some reinforcement. Even looked into patching it. Problem there is that it voids my warranty and this mattress is only 5 years old. I'm waiting to hear back from Sealy in case there is the option to have them professionally repair it. I imagine pricey, but still a cheaper option than a replacement. That said, The Brick have 50% off at the moment so likely the $1000 ticket would at least be reduced to about 5 or 600. That being said, Why should I care about her purse strings when she's rewarding her child for such behaviour.
