:x IN SEPT 07 I PURCHASED TEMPUR-PEDIC BED -IT STILL STINKS.I HAVE WOKEN UP MOST MORNINGS FEELING LIKE I DID NOT SLEEP AT ALL, AND THERE IS ALMOST ALWAYS A NAGGING HEADACHE AND PERSISTANT COUGH. MY FOUR YEAR SON HAS TAKEN TO SLEEPING IN MY BED BECAUSE IT SO MUCH MORE FULL OF COMFORT THAN HIS. IN THE TIME THAT I HAVE HAD THIS BED THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SO WONDERFUL, MY FOUR YEAR OLD HAS GONE TO THE ER THREE TIMES BECAUSE HE COULD NOT BREATH.I NEVER WOULD HAVE MADE ALL THE CONNECTIONS IF I HAD NOT BEEN TRYING TO GET INFO ON LINE RE THE TERRIBLE SMELL. THE THINGS I HAVE READ ONLINE ARE REALLY BAD I AM HOPING THAT THEY WILL DO THE RIGHT THING BUT WHEN I CONTACTED CUSTOMER SERVICE TODAY I WAS TOLD THAT THE BED WOULD BE REPLACED AND THE THE CHEMICALS ARE NOT HAZARDOUS TO MY HEALTH. TRY TELLING THAT TO MY SON TO ME, AND TO THE HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE BEFORE ME THAT HAVE HAD SIMILIAR AND SOME TIMES WORSE SYSMTOMS ALL BECAUSE OF A BED. VikingPastorDoes anyone know if any actions (lawsuit, organized advocacy etc) have been attempted?
The same reason: "Tempurpedic should not be allowed to sell these products, or at least not without a BIG warning sign on it." If I knew so many people had skin allergies to the materials, i would never have bought it. My hope of healing my insomnia is gone, now, I've already felt mentally exhaused to deal with this so called space-science mattress.Michelin Heavy Duty Floor Mats Michelin Heavy Duty Floor Mats GAT Muscle Martini Amino Chandler 4-piece Leather Set Capture the grand styling of old world charm in the all new Chandler 4-piece Top-Grain Leather Collection, a timeless classic that will add style and design to your lifestyle.

Soit vous avez la mauvaise adresse ou la ressource a étéOne of the biggest complaints by owners of memory foam pillows and mattresses is the unpleasant, and potentially unhealthy chemical smell.
Memory foam is manufactured using polyurethane and several other chemicals, so it isn’t surprising that it emits a chemical odor. This “off gassing” of volatile organic compounds is a common and well-documented property of memory foam pillows and mattresses. The fumes are often compared to those experienced in a freshly painted room. If you are experiencing this odor, the good news is you may not have to endure the smell for long. The bad news is that some of the chemicals used in memory foam aren’t entirely benign.Many memory foam mattress owners report that the off gassing period ends after a number of days.(1) Of course there are many factors which influence this including the product, the type of foam, the sensitivity of the person, the room ventilation and more. Even if the initial odor goes away, it is natural to wonder if there are health issues related to off gassing.Most people do not report any health issues resulting from their memory foam pillow or mattress. However, there are various reports of headaches, nausea, and allergic reactions resulting from the odor produced by memory foam.
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, you’ll want to avoid sleeping on the foam during the initial off gassing period. You can leave the pillow or mattress in a well-ventilated area for a week or two and see if that helps eliminate or reduce the odor and symptoms. If after several weeks, the issue persists, it is probably time to consider an alternative to memory foam.Many many people use memory foam products without reporting any side effects or related health issues. That said, there are various reports and studies which indicate that memory foam may be somewhat toxic. Reports include carcinogenic chemicals and formaldehyde gas. To manufacture memory foam, chemicals are added to polyurethane to make it more dense and viscous at the same time. Additional chemicals are required to make the polyurethane flame retardant. One of these, Pentabde (of the polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) family), was used until 2004. Pentabde is now known to be toxic to the liver, thyroid, and nervous system.
(2) A study in 2000 specifically found mattress emissions to be toxic to the lungs of labratory mice.The long-term effects of memory foam and its toxicity is not fully understood, but there clearly is some reason for concern. Aproximately one-third of your life is spent in close contact to your sleeping surface, so it is important to consider you and your family’s health when selecting a pillow or mattress.Are you interested in the support and comfort provided by memory foam, but want to avoid that chemical smell? There are several natural pillow options for those looking for a new pillow. Of course, our favorite is our buckwheat hull pillow. Besides being natural and chemical-free, buckwheat pillows are a great alternative to memory foam for a couple of other reasons.Memory foam is not breathable and this can result in a hot and sweaty pillow. The shape and particulate nature of buckwhat hulls leaves a lot of air space in your pillow between all of the hulls. This airspace allows warm moist air to escape, leaving your pillow cool and dry.
