Question from Hilary

Dear Debra,

Do you have any information concerning outgassing from polyurethane, i.e. memory foam, mattresses? I’m thinking of buying a particular mattress (like the ones found at sleepwarehouse.com), but I want to make sure that I won’t be breathing in outgas fumes for the near future…any thoughts or information to share?

Thank you!

Hilary

You can always contact a manufacturer and ask them questions about material safety.
