New memory foam pillow made my a little nauseous
|
So I just bought this new 'Martha Stewart Collection' memory foam pillow from Macys this afternoon. I took a short nap on it a couple hours ago. Tell ya what, I felt a little strange after that nap. No headache, but a bit queasy and a little odd. I could smell a slight smell from the pillow, so it's off-gassing. Card says to let it air out for 24 hours. I just don't know about those VOC's and off-gassing with chemical laden petroleum derived foam products. Maybe this is a message for me to ditch anything memory foam and just go organic latex or at least latex mattress and pillow. This message was modified Aug 5, 2011 by slpngoc

It's a Savvy Rest Dunlop. I've had it for a month and it feels better each time I sleep on it. I think part of it is adjustment from my old saggy waterbed and the latex softening up a bit. I've tried sleeping on both sides of the bed as well as at an angle to soften it up evenly. I'll probably attempt to rotate it every six months. I no longer wake up several times a night; I either sleep through the entire night or wake up once. I'm very, very happy with my choice. Hopefully it will last many years! My second choice would have been a SleepEz, but I got 20% off because I purchased a gorgeous reclaimed douglas fir platform bed in addition to the mattress. |
