Question from Chris
Do carbon blankets work to protect against off-gassing? We need to protect against a 3 yr old latex mattress with a memory foam topper? My wife is chemically sensitive and is afraid to try it. Does anyone have any experience with the use of carbon blankets? Any other remedies for off-gassing of mattresses? Thank you!
Sincerely,
Chris

Carbon blankets will absorbs offgassing chemicals from something like a mattress or a car seat.
I don’t have any experience with using one for that purpose, but I’ve been told they work.
My best recommendation to you is to get a toxic free mattress as soon as possible. The rule of thumb for best results is to eliminate toxics at the source whenever possible, rather than try to block them.
