What does off-gassing of a new mattress do to you?

Asked by skfinkel (13537points) October 22nd, 2011

I have a new bed that is all foam—very comfortable. But the smell is a sharp kind of smell, not bad, but very clear. Is this really bad? and how—like mood swings? carcinogenic? or what? if anything. And, how long until the smell wears off? If I stick the mattress outside every day, will that help?
