Hi Pete,
I just took delivery of a new mattress. (Sorry, not from you).
This mattress has a horribly bad, sickening chemical smell.
When I called the store where I bought it, they told me to air it out for a couple of weeks.
I’m outraged but don’t know what to do about it.
Never before have I ever run into something like this with any mattress I’ve previously purchased.
What happened and what do I do about it?
Thanks, Jose
Hi Jose,
It’s the memory foam in your mattress that is off gassing the toxic chemicals from which it’s made.
Those are dangerous, carcinogenic chemicals that attack your respiratory system.
The most common negative side effect is a sinus headache. However, many people react more severely.
What to do?!
Get rid of it. Send it back. It presents a health hazard to every living being in your home.
What you haven’t yet experienced, is the way memory foam wears so very quickly.
Memory foam is a poor quality upholstery material. The chemical off gassing adds insult to injury.
Here’s a link to The Thomasville Artisan Collection Franklin Mattress:
It has an individually pocketed coil system, which promotes proper spinal alignment and NO Memory Foam.
It has everything you want and nothing you don’t.
Shipping is Free
Thanks, Pete
A waterproof mattress protector will extend the life of any mattress, keeping it clean and dry.
