Hi Am01231,
Welcome to the Mattress Forum!
I’m sorry you’re having issues with your Essentia mattress.
In case you haven’t read it, and for the sake of others that may be reading this there are some comments about Essentia and some of the misleading claims they make and some forum discussions with them (as well as some of the FTC issues they have had about their claims) in this thread and this thread and posts #3 and #4 here). Some of the discussion in this topic may be helpful as well. I certainly wouldn’t treat the information on their website (or on some of the other websites I’ve seen that write about them either) as a reliable source of “fact based” information and I would also make some very careful “value” comparisons before considering any Essentia mattress because they do tend to be in a higher budget range than other mattresses that use similar materials.
The Bionda is listed as having multiple layers of GOLS certified Dunlop latex on the essential web site, so there would be no formaldehyde in that foam. As far as odor, latex, like all foams, will have an initial odor, but this tends to dissipate within a few weeks. There could also be an odor from the cover that the mattress is using. You certainly could remove the cover from the mattress, open the windows in your bedroom, and allow the product to air out.
My best advice would be to contact Essentia directly with your concerns and see if they have any specific suggestions about odor dissipation in their products. If you bought from them online, they do list a 60-day money back guarantee in case you end of being too sensitive to the odors of tis mattress.
