Can Your New Mattress Make You Sick?

Many people ask if a new mattress can cause health issues. The answer is a definitive yes. I recently received a powerful testimonial from a woman named Brenda. Her story highlights the hidden dangers within modern bedding.

Brenda’s Struggle with Breathing

Brenda reached out to share her severe reaction to a new mattress. She suffered from breathing difficulties that required daily medication. However, her symptoms changed the moment she moved to a spare bedroom with an older mattress.

“I could breathe again,” Brenda reported. “The bronchitis, allergy symptoms, and sinus infections simply stopped.”

After moving, she could finally run and attend gym classes without an inhaler. This recovery proved that her new mattress was the primary source of her illness.

Impact on Her Children

The chemicals didn’t just affect Brenda. Her youngest daughter developed severe hives after touching the polyurethane foam. Furthermore, her 13-year-old daughter experienced severe breathing problems after sleeping in the new bed for just two weeks.

Brenda suspect the urethane in the memory foam caused these reactions. Now, she refuses to buy another mattress without conducting deep research first.

Why Most Mattresses Contain Chemicals

Brenda’s story is not an isolated incident. Most major manufacturers include at least some chemicals in their products. Even companies that promote “natural wool” often hide the full story. They might use wool, but they still add chemical flame retardants to meet regulations.
