I seem to be chemically sensitive to all mattresses. I've had many theories as to what I'm allergic to: polyester or polypropelyne-blended tickings, PBDE in the foam, spun polyester comfort layers, etc. I feel it is my body heat that activates some chemical because it comes on strongly after I've been laying on the mattress for a while. The sheets and pillows I use are the ones I've been using for a few years so they are not the problem. I'm kind of narrowing it down to the chemical contents of the foam and/or formaldehyde in the ticking. Does anyone have any idea what I might be reacting to?
Thanks for any input.
