Trapper,
I found this link. Basically there is a Pandoras Box FULL of chemicals found in mattresses.

More people have since chimed in with their tales of woe about Tempur-Pedic memory foam.
======================================================

Wow, -------, that is very interesting that you say all this. My health too has
drastically gotten worse over the last few years and all this after getting a
Tempur-pedic! I have gone severly hypo and my adrenals are very weak. I also
have cherry angiomas all over my body (some not so small). I have not slept on
that mattress in almost 5 months, but now I also have a Tempur-pedic pillow
Thanks for making the connection. I would never have thought to look at my
mattress.

I have been taking Iodoral for a year and a half and I don't seem to notice much
improvement. Maybe that is due to the mattress?

=================================================

Hi -----, I was concerned about this too. We bought our tempur pedic bed last
fall and I love it but have had a lot of symptoms. I traded the free pillow for
a buckwheat pillow which I LOVE! It is the best thing I've ever used for my
neck. As for bromide in the bed, I bought an organic mattress cover like for
dust/ mites, so I hope it is reducing our exposure. Amazon carries these items.

==================================================

Also a fix came in:
After reading up on the subject & talking to some foam specialists in Calif, all I did was cook my brand new foam products in the sun for a couple of days right from the store when I brought them home. Voila! No more chemical smell.

ha ha ha ha! the memory foam makes it hard to move and you just lay there! lololol

who thought this was a good idea, anyway? this isnt one of those freaky child of space exploration research like velcro and gastro bypass operations, is it?

We just LOVE our memory foam mattress and we are having no problems at all after 18 months.

We put our mattress in a zip up bag designed to stop mites. It also stops the chemicals from getting into the bedroom.

Our mattress is exactly like the 12 inch thick Queen Size $3,500 Tempurpedic, except it was only $400 including shipping from Amazon.Com. Amazon has simlar models this year but are somewhat more expensive.

We also put a fabric topper on it to absorb any sweat.
