Memory foam mattress topper??

1 Reply

Hi all,

I recently bought a mattress topper for my bed and have noticed my symptoms of asthma has increased since using it.

I allowed it to air out (the memory foam toppers have a nasty smell at first) for a few days before using it, but I have since taken it off my mattress because it is causing me too many problems at night.

I do think that my asthma is worse due to the hot weather we have been having lately, but I wondered if anyone else here had similar issues with memory foam toppers and/or memory foam mattresses?

I also wanted to say it's nice to meet you all, since I have only just joined here - so hello everyone!!

i have a full memory foam mattress and have never had any problems but my asthma is fairly mild and of course everyone's triggers are different.

Sorry not much help lol
