Seriously, mine was so bad that it gave me a migraine, caused my eyes to be swollen by morning, and gave me breathing congestion like I had a cold that would soon go away as soon as I got up and away from the mattress. Not to mention the smell was just so strong and horrible that even with all the windows open in the bedroom all day while I was at work, as soon as I opened the door the odor was just so overpowering. For the first few weeks I had to sleep on a futon in another room! And then, I had use a water proof mattress protector (which I hate using and donāt currently use) plus sleep on top of a thick comforter for a couple months until the smell finally started subsiding!
A year later I can happily say that all the smell and symptoms have pretty much totally disappeared. But Iām very close to either making a warranty claim and/or going with another model in the lineup of the brand I bought. But I really donāt think I could tolerate waiting at least six months to a year for the off gassing to subside. How can a company charge nearly $3000 for a bed that you have to put up with such non-sense? Look at any website with real user reviews of say Tempur-Pedic you have plenty of people complaining about this and a lot even returned their mattress because of it (I actually did start a process for the store I bought it from to take it back but never followed through because I liked it so much in the showroom and wanted to make it work).
Now my bed has a manufacturing date of 8 months before I received it. It comes sealed wrapped in plastic. Surely if it wasnāt āsealedā air tight for 8 months it could of been nearly finished with itās horrendous off-gassing? So it had me thinking, especially with the prices they charge, why couldnāt a company like Tempur-Pedic build or lease a giant warehouse where they let them sit up with ventilation fans to let them air out before they hit a customers home?
