I am looking at the Novaform Gel Sleep Memory Foam mattress. How is the gel memory foam topper made? I would like to know all of the contents because I have lung disease and concerns about the products used in the gel topper if it would affect my breathing and could possible deteriorate my lung disease. Also a friend bought me the gel pillow. Would appreciate an immediate reply. Despite all the dire reviews, not all foam is created equally. Novafoam however will have a very very strong chemical off-gassing and I would avoid it with your condition. While I agree the natural beds would be best, some people either don't have the money to afford something like OMI, are allergic to latex or just can't afford it. There are memory foams that are not toxic and don't use chemicals to pass the fire retardant laws. There are a couple of brands I carry that are Certipur certified and have either little to no scent and use non-toxic fire barriers, and they are more affordable. I am not one for self-promotion here, but if you Google "non-toxic memory foam mattress" you will find beds such as the foam beds from Jeffco or Bed in a Box that are tested hypoallergenic and tested non-toxic.
I agree with the replies here regarding that brand of memory foam. However, not all memory foam is created equal. Your question did not state whether it was budget, feel or referral that brought you to Novaform so I'll try to address budget and feel. First, the feel of memory foam: some people love it some people hate it. Personally, I like the way you sink into memory foam and how it forms around you. Tossing and turning is reduced so you sleep more soundly. I notice you're in Cornwall, ON. There is a Canadian manufacturer of memory foam called Zedbed. They use more water and soy than any other brand thus eliminating that off-gassing mentioned here. Zedbed is the only Canadian manufacturer of their own memory foam and so you know, with Canada's strict regulations on EVERYTHING, it's the safest memory foam around. Queen sets start at $2099.A terrific way to try and get more for your money is considering buying a less expensive innerspring mattress without any pillowtop or eurotop and then adding a topper.
In this case, if you still prefer the feel of memory foam, I would recommend an organic latex SLOW response topper in 2 or 3 inches from Pure LatexBLISS. You can mimic the feel of a memory foam mattress for a fraction of the price ($1000-$2000 for a queen set). If you were not referred to this mattress, then please consider an all latex mattress, truly the cleanest option of all. If you can go organic you will rid your sleeping environment of almost all dyes, toxins and chemicals. The gel isn't your worry. It's the memory foam you should be avoiding. Memory foam consists of 61 chemicals, some of which are toxic. It off gasses those toxic chemicals, which, for most people, attack your respiratory system. Memory foam is a dangerous product for everyone. For you, it could very well be deadly. Alice, memory foam is basically a "gasoline brick," it is true there are 61 chemicals in these beds some of them are known carcinogens. If you are susceptible to off gassing the best way to go is Organic Latex from OMI, they have the purest mattress on the market.
If you are looking at gel because it makes memory foam mattresses sleep cooler then you are buying a band aid for a problem you don't need to create by buying a memory foam mattress. If you want to sleep cooler, get rid of your synthetic petroleum oil based mattress and go with all natural fibers. Such as organic cotton, wool and 100% all natural latex. Avoid Natural latex (means synthetic blend) the chemicals in that is toxic to the lungs, liver and brain. You don't need to worry about going with 100% all natural latex rubber. Products made from God are far superior to man made products made in a chemical factory.

Maybe you have searched many stores and seem to find one that satisfies your price quotes, value, and conforming to your body. Novaform has pleased 77% of their customers worldwide from owner satisfaction, durability, and the friendliness to your body;
I give Novaform a thumbs up.How may you ask? Through the satisfaction of their memory foam mattresses. Their memory foam mattresses have been graded positively such as their price and value. The prices range from $250 to $900. Their popular queen size beds cost an average of $620. Another thing that consumers struggle with is finding a bed that conforms to one’s body or being friendly to certain body areas that haven’t been too kind to them over the years. Novaform creates a mattress that can conform to your body. This relieves pressure off of any aches and pains. So if you are an individual that experiences back pain, shoulder pain, side pain, or even insomnia; this bed has you covered. Like any other memory foam mattress, Novaform’s is graded an “A” for fewer disturbances to one’s partner and no noise when getting up from a beautiful night’s rest. If your mattress is damaged in any shape or form, there is a guaranteed warranty of 20 years on your Novaform memory foam mattress.
Not every bed is perfect, so there are some quirks when it comes to Novaform. One thing consumers have expressed negatively is the support of the bed on the sides and edges. Customers have reported not enough support to the point where they would slide or fall off the bed. They have also reported hardening or depressions in the foam mattresses within three years. Another concern is the over-exaggeration when it comes to the softness of the memory foam mattress. Consumers have reported that they are more medium-firm when compressed, so you will need to look into a topper. A topper creates a more softness to your bed and can range from $35 to $500 in price. When it comes to the competition, Novaform is only just a fish in a sea. The many different competitors are Innerspring, Memory Foam, and Air. One mattress that stuck out to me was the brand, Air. With this memory foam mattress, it offers adjustments for firmness and support. Not only can it adjust the whole bed, but if your partner has a particular adjustment for sleeping;
they can use it without disturbing your adjustments through customization. Novaform does, however, beat futons and waterbeds right out of the park. Futons negative attributes include too thin or firm for a consumer’s liking and water beds are very high maintenance and can be punctured. Overall, I give Novaform a B- when it comes to being a memory foam mattress investment. It’s positive attributes with being fewer disturbances and creating soft comfort for you and your partner. However, consumers need a mattress that lasts more than three years. Not many people replace their bed that often, so that gives Novaform constructive criticism for their product and how to improve it for the better. I do admire how decently priced these memory foam mattresses are. Not many mattresses lie under $1,000.
