Allergic Reaction
I recently bought a Tempur mattress, as I suffer with a bad back, and thought that the memory foam would give me more support, which it has. I opted for the Firm mattress. I have had the mattress for 3 days, since sleeping on it I have developed a rash (Hives) that has got progressively worse, to the extent that my breasts, sides, hips, thighs are covered in the raised itchy welts. I have not changed washing powder or eaten anything out of the ordinary. Since looking into this I have read quite a few reports that the chemicals used within the manufacturing process can cause a skin reaction as well as other health issues, like headaches, nausea and quite a few more symptoms that are quite scary! I will be changing my mattress, as luckily the store that I bought it from offers a 60 day trial. Such a shame as its a very comfortable bed.
