Memory foam mattresses

Memory Foam here, and I just noticed I now have 6 fingers and toes on each hand and foot. Do you think its from the bed??~!~

No, you're mutating into a super sentai fandango ranger.

I have one, but mine has the cooling gel stuff too. I absolutely love mine and wouldnt trade it for the world. It did take a few days for it to get to room temp as I bought it last winter and had to wear long sleeve shirts to bed at first..BRRRR but its perfect perfect perfect..My husband and I love it!

Ok, thats what I originally assumed.

i had a 30 day trail with a memory foam. didnt like it. the 'delay' when you shift position is awful. laying on top of dips and bumps. the impression thats left takes too long to rectify its self

dont recall a smell though. it was a tempur. cost a bomb. not for me though

so i went back to my solid latex mattress but i really needs replacing

i was considering the new alternative and 'octo' something or other - its 'sprung' like a traditional bed, but the 'springs are octagonal 'tubes'. anyway, it allows the flow of air, unlike solid foam. more support than a regular mattress, but none of the annoying 'dip delay'

better temperature control and the air movement is healthier for you and the mattress


gonna try one out, i think



anyway, i digress a little. im not surprised some folk get strange symptoms from spending hours in close proximity to a bunch of chemicals

just get a pillowtop regular mattress,i cant even feel the springs at all,its like sleeping on a cloud

Mines not that way at all but it is a 12 inch one..dont know if that makes a diff..plus has cooling gel..Like I said, wouldnt trade mine for anything..

forgot to mention. I used to have to get up due to back pain..now with my memory foam it is too easy to sleep in late...thats my only complaint..

I have a feather mattress: nature's memory foam :)

have a spliff before you go to bed

you can sleep on a hard concrete floor or a feather matress ... it makes no difference

with a spliff, you will sleep like a log, and wake up with a 'smile'

if you sleep on a bed and you are having problems, you are 'possibly' overweight

go to gym 5 times a week and get healthy ... you will sleep well

I thought I'd do a quick search of memory foam. I bought a two hundred dollar pillow three months ago and I've had a face rash, hematoma and swollen eyes every morning. I've spent all this time trying to narrow down what I'm allergic to. Slept with my old feather pillow last night and I am already much better.

Had the memory foam pad but hubby complained it was too hot, and I thought it was better than just the mattress.
I got rid of it and have a high end New Zealand sheepskin wool bed pad and have to say it is so much better than the foam. I have zero aches now and no back problems in the mornings.

Also NO eye puffiness anymore, geez I spent a fortune on eyecreams :)

Pretty much the same here. It smelled badly when I first got it. I thought the odor would dissipate, but it didn't. After suffering nausea, aches etc. for a week I gave up. It was a top o' the line memory foam to the tune of $2600 which I was able to recoup, fortunately.

Thanks for posting.

exactly my experience with it

Memory Foam mattresses are KNOWN to release gasses. period. Look for an organic mattress. I have a "californian" (rather new brand) that is made of natural latex, bamboo fiber, and one other ingredient I cannot think of at the moment....best bed EVER!

Stay away from Tempur-Pedic, and all the knock offs.

Natural latex are also good, bu they are twice as heavy as TP, and quite pricey....but will not gassify you to sickness.

Bought a new mattress 6 mos. ago.. I could have bought a memory foam mattress.. but went with a high end Stearns and Foster.. ($1,600).. because it was by far much more comfortable.. I think the memory foam is a fad and will die out as they are not good to sleep on! And they smell toxic as hell!

Quit cheaping out and get a Tempurpedic.
Best purchase I ever made.

What about the sleep number beds? Those have any memory foam like this? Need a new mattress and that's what I'd like to get.

hate them

we bought one, and I found your body heat gets concentrated under you, and you get very hot during the night, in the spot directly under you.

that can't be good for you. probably creates the ideal temps for bugs to thrive, and that's why you get colds and flus.

Thanks for posting, because I was wondering if I wanted one of those... Now, I think not. I think I'll go for an all-natural, certified non-toxic mattress, instead. You should demand a refund.
