Question from heavensabvus1
My current (conventional) pillowtop mattress is still going strong at 14 years old. I love it and it’s as pristine as the day I got it. I have it sealed in a cotton allergen encasing that keeps out dander and dust mites. On top of that cover is an organic cotton barrier cloth cover that also completely encloses the mattress, although I expect neither of these encloses gases. And then on top of that are two 3″ organic wool mattress toppers and then organic cotton sheets, wool comforter and wool pillows. There is no boxspring. Is it still outgassing or is it safe at this point?

At fourteen years, it’s probably fine.
