The 10 in. Tuft & Needle Diary

Hi sheep123,

Thanks for sharing their reply about their foam and their fire barrier … I appreciate it.

I’ve also linked your post to my reply in the other topic here about their new design so that all the new information is connected together.

The other interesting thing is when it was first taken out of the plastic, I hardly detected an odor. Yesterday it was a little stronger. Today it is stronger yet (much like a new memory foam topper). Maybe because of the core warming up. I took all the bedding off this morning and have had a fan blowing on the mattress all day, windows open on and off during the day.

This also isn’t unusual when you first sleep on a new mattress and may be partly from the materials warming up as well as some of the thin windows in the foam cells being broken open and this is also part of the normal break in process. You can carefully walk across the surface of the mattress to speed the process up and it will also help to leave your mattress unmade during the day (see post #3 here) but your mattress uses CertiPur certified materials so it isn’t harmful and it will soon diminish to levels that you won’t notice without doing anything special.

I’m looking forward to any additional updates you have the chance to share as you go through the break in and adjustment period and get used to a mattress that is fairly different from what you are used to sleeping on
