One of the few complaints about them is that when brand new they can give off a new mattress smell for several weeks.
These consistently rate high for everything from comfort to durability.
A brand new memory foam mattress may make the entire room smell for a few days.
A new mattress can also have other smells unrelated to memory foam off gassing though.
As the mattress off gases airborne.
If you buy a mattress low in vocs like from amerisleep and it still has a slight scent don t worry.
Even products like plant oils and natural fabrics can produce some smell.
The off gassing odor strength varies among models but consumers can expect it to dissipate within the first two weeks.
Most of the time regular memory foam mattresses have 5 6 of polyurethane foam which has the ability to cause certain reactions in people with chemical sensitivities.

One of the best ways to get rid of the smells associated with a foam mattress including formaldehyde is to lay a sheet of plastic on a patio or the grass in the backyard.
Place a bowl of white vinegar in the room to help remove the odor from the air.
