  1. Hurt, no treatment

    The product, in the report: Memory foam mattress, “Myrbacka” Article Number: 702.721.44

    I recently bought a memory foam topper and was reminded of a horrible experience I had last year. Last year I bought a memory foam mattress and felt sick for months. I did not realize at the time that memory foam mattresses could make people sick. I had moved into a new house and I did not know the cause of my sickness. It felt like the air was thick, and it smelled. It was a “chalky” smell. I thought it might be the renovation dust, so I spent the next several weeks cleaning for a few hours each day. I wiped down the walls, vacuumed, and even got an air purifier.

    I was so sick that I was in a daze for that entire month. I could hardly think straight. I was just blindly cleaning and trying to purify the air in my spare time. I researched “air scrubbers.” I went to other people’s houses to sleep. When I spent an entire day away, my head was able to clear and that is when I researched memory foam mattresses and realized their dangers.

    I had put sheets and a mattress pad on the mattress as soon as I unwrapped it, so it had not had time to air out. However once I realized the mattress was making the air in the house like this, I tried to air out the mattress. I left a fan on and the window open to keep the air circulating out.

    However, after a few more weeks, I still felt sick. I had stopped sleeping in that room and slept in a separate room when I found out, on an air mattress. The rest of the house aired out considerably, though not completely. I was able to contain the problem somewhat to the bedroom. But I still felt ill. After a few weeks I gave up. I dragged the mattress back to Ikea and returned it (it was just under their 90 day return policy).

    I had called and emailed the company when I found out, but received no response.
