Memory foam mattress topper (& MF mattresses?) - I am sick from VOCs

[phoenix]

Hi 1whitehorse1,

The fact that they essentially put ‘memory foam’ on the same level as ‘bamboo charcoal’ (wtf is that anyways, some carbon product?)

It’s the same general type of material as you will find in water purifiers.

‘gel’ (also, what is that - some other weird chemical material?)

See post #4 here.

Neither of these are relevant to this topic though because if you had done even minimal research or reading when you purchased your topper you would have known that neither of these are in the topper you purchased.

I have to say, this reminds me of the same attempts made by Essentia to appear ‘pure’ and ‘pretty’ online. And yet somehow you have more against them than you have against Lucid?

The reasons for my replies here are not because I believe Lucid is a great product but because of your exaggerations and misrepresentations about what they are saying and because your posts are not reasonable or balanced or what I would consider to be “fair commentary”. In effect … you are doing the very thing that you are claiming that they are doing.

The goal of this site is to educate and inform based on accurate information and while I would certainly be cautious about purchasing a Lucid memory foam product and it’s not a purchase that I would personally make … that doesn’t mean that I would support someone that is posting inaccurate or misleading information about them (or any company regardless how I may feel about them). In effect … you are doing the very thing that you are saying that Lucid is doing by making statements that are just factually wrong and misleading or complaining about things that any reasonable consumer would have realized with only minimal research (as Benstark also mentioned).

Did you seriously believe that memory foam is some kind of “natural” product?

While I can certainly sympathize with you for your experience (and as I mentioned earlier I have had a similar experience with another memory foam product) … I think you may have lost your perspective and your sensitivity to memory foam certainly doesn’t justify the type or misinformation, exaggeration, or inaccurate statements that you are posting here.

You have had your say and I think that any reasonable person can make up their own mind about what you have written.

This topic is now locked. (NOTE ADDED: the topic has now been unlocked to allow for some edits and a change to a less “inflammatory” title that the OP requested which have a more “fair and balanced” approach)
