Hi Pete,
Just got a new mattress and let it air out for a few days and it still smells like chemicals, making it hard to breathe!
Is there anything that can be done about this?
Thanks, Joyce Ann
Hi Joyce Ann,
Only memory foam does that.
Memory foam consists of 61 different chemicals. Some of which, are highly toxic. The gasses from those chemicals get trapped inside the cells of the memory foam when it’s made.
Those gases are released when the cells break open with use.
It won’t fully air out unless you break open the cells of the foam.
My recommendation is to return that mattress and exchange it for a mattress that has no memory foam in it.
The chemical off gassing is only one of the negatives about memory foam. The other negatives become apparent with use….sleeping hot, sinking in, back pain and numbness of the extremities…causing the most common complaints.
If you unable to return it, walk on it…on every inch of it.
This will break open all of the cells, releasing the trapped gases.
The smell should then begin to dissipate within a few days.
TME sells no mattresses that contain any memory foam.
