Hi SotY.
I am glad you had no problem wiht the return and that Ikea issued a full credit for the mattress. but expecially … congratulations on your new purchase! :lol:
Great to hear that it better matches your comfort needs and hopefully, the smell won’t be an issue for too long. You are correct that it can come from either or both the wool in the quilting and the latex. There is more about the smell of latex in post #2 here but in most cases, it is reduced to levels below what people will notice in a few days to a few weeks but this can also depend on how acute your sense of smell is and on how sensitive you are to a particular smell. There can also be some differences between different batches of latex. There is also more about the odor of new materials in post #3 here that may be helpful. Natural wool will also tend to have an odor which some people notice, and it may actually be this to which you have your sensitivity. Everyone has their individual degree of reaction to certain odors, and without being in front of your mattress is dificult to tell exactly to which odor you may have a sensitivity. Generaly smells would tend to dissipate over time, and leaving the products uncovered during the day or standing upright in a well ventilated area will help to expedite this process.
I’m looking forward to any updates you have the chance to share once you’ve slept on your mattress for a little longer.
