Hi Pete,
We recently bought a new mattress that had a strange odor.
We just thought it was that "New Mattress Smell".
When our young son came into bed with us, the next morning, he started coughing...then began having trouble breathing.
We got him into the car and rushed him over to the hospital.
By the time we got there, his breathing was easier and he had stopped coughing.
Even before going in, I knew it was the mattress we had delivered the day before.
After hearing the whole story, the doctor confirmed that it was a reaction to chemicals, and surmised that it was likely to be from the mattress..given the timing
.
We immediate put that mattress in the garage.
The store was reluctant to pick it up and refund our money, even after telling them what had happened. They were more agreeable when we threatened to sue them.
They picked it up the next day.
We are now sleeping in our guestroom, while we shop for a new mattress.
We went to a couple of different stores, but immediately detected that same odor upon entering.
So, I went on line and found your blog.
Now, I know it was the memory foam in the mattress that caused all this.
Since our son appears to be hypersensitive, I don't want to take any chances.
We need to get a mattress is is all organic and completely chemical free.
Since he will be transitioning from his crib to his first Big Boy bed soon, anyway.
We figured we'd shop for his as well.
We are in our late 20's, healthy, trim and fit.
What would you recommend for us.
Thanks, Jessica
Hi Jessica,
Just to add insult to injury, memory foam is a lousy product in terms of performance...as well as a health hazard.

Suite Sleep Mattress
The Suite Sleep brand is what I would recommend for your son.
I like the Natura brand for you and your husband.
Besides being 100% Organic and Chemical Free, these products are of the highest quality.
The Natura will last you for decades.
The Suite Sleep is the only mattress your son will need throughout all the years he will live with you...and then some.
Delivery is Free and there's NO Sales Tax.
ALSO IMPORTANT:
I suggest using a waterproof mattress protector with every mattress.
Keeping your mattress clean and dry will greatly extend the life and loft of the upholstery materials inside. Ours sleep cool and make NO Noise.

Thanks, Pete
