Hi, I'm not sure if formaldehyde is used or not. But when I first received it, the smell was very strong and could not use it for several days. To me, it may be chemical or composite smell. Better to let it where the air comes through for days and use it.

To me it smelled like formaldehyde. After letting it air like the instruction suggested, the smell disappeared. I have never smelled an odor since I started using it..

I've never heard of formaldehyde in Maple syrup. Is this something that occurs? The only way to know for sure would be to take a sample to a lab that perform an analysis for formaldehyde.

I am wondering the same thing, I found on a website that polyethylene is the best protectant to use on matress for water and bug protection,. that wool is the best natural retardant, even these soy foam mats are no good as its 10% at most. I have not been able to find a decent bed for the kids under 600 bucks! Would love to know what you have found. We tossed the beds matresses and all, kids are sleeping in collapsible camp cots and trying out 100% cotton hammock! LOL We were having issues with morning coughs and runny noses at night no more sense the change.

Of that I cannot be completely certain, I will tell you that formaldehyde has a distinctive odor that I am familiar with and I didn't smell anything on the sheets before I washed them. If the possible exposure is worrisome to you, I would suggest a double run of the longest cycle on your washer. My husband and I both have allergies and we have had no issues with these sheets at all, no odd smells nor itchy skin. I hope this helps, Good Luck!

Sorry, I do not know. I've never heard of MDF with formaldehyde off-gassing.

I think it does because it does not say formaldehyde free. OPI has a Nail Envy that does say formaldehyde free.I will use that.

I talked with a sales rep from Sleep EZ and he told me that the mattress cover is made with an organic cotton knit material. He also told me that they use 1/4 inch of rayon as a fire retardant on each side and include 1 inch of soy foam under the cover on each side for a plush feeling. He also told me that the firm side of the mattress consists of 4 inches of Dunlop natural latex with a 40 ILD rating and the medium firm side consists of 3 inches of Dunlop latex with a 26 ILD rating. The company now has a label on each side of the mattress to identify which side of the mattress is firm and which side is medium firm

The mattress I have is classified as latex-over-foam. There is a website called sleeplikethedead.com that has ratings and explanations based on actual user experiences. They have a specific page that talks about the Ultimate Dreams mattresses. Here is a link: http://www.sleeplikethedead.com/mattress-reviews-dreamfoam.html Hope that helps answer your questions.

The main surface is made of three layers of solid bamboo. The other pieces is solid mono layer bamboo. I don't know about the formaldehyde.

Get the simmons - the foam in these will give way and crack after a few months. It loses support at the edges (loses the "squareness") I would NEVER buy another LUCID or LINEN SPA foam mattress. Mine from March 2013 started cracking in the gel foam on top - the edge lost firmness and you roll off. No support after a few months. LUCID refused to honor 25 year warranty after requesting pictures of cracked foam. LINEN SPA was no help either. Let me know if you want to see the correspondence. I'm gonna find a more reputable company.

Great question! Though I have never called the company and questioned them directly, I believe it is formaldehyde free. You can go to their website and read about the company and their products. I always buy the Organic Grade B syrup.

I don't know, but my king size smells like chemicals. It really stinks and I have to keep the window cracked in the room. I have other latex bedding products that only smell like rubber, but this one smells really strong of nasty chemicals. Too bad.

Dear Traci and others, MamaDoo Kids here. Thank you for your interest in the Smart Mattress Topper! Over 98% of our past customers did not smell anything other than your normal new foam smell... So even if there was a 2% that noticed some kind of weird smell we decided to change foam manufacturers. As you can all read in the last 3 years this has been a no issue.Have an awesome day!The MamaDoo Kids Team

I bought the product direct from the suppliers and used it straight away. From comments received, the only possibility could be that the product does not agree with some of the household products I use (which may contain chemicals). Years ago I bought a similar product before going on a cruise thinking that my nails would have a great chance to grow, that product also stripped my nails and I was told that it was formaldehyde that caused this. Thanks again.... my nails have improved recently by protecting them with Gel nails .

I like the pillow but it's so doused with chemicals....probably a lot of formaldehyde ..that it wreaks for months...i would stay clear...

My son, his wife and baby were visiting from California. He was not happy sleeping on the high rise bed. So I bought the bed bridge and the lucid mattress topper. It worked great. I made sure to tuck the sheet carefully under the mattress because the sheet held the mattress together. It worked great.l

It is not a problem. This man who did all the research on polyurethane and sids had all his research based on cotton only. Therefore he cannot vouch for anything beyond the limitations of his study. As a concerned and well educated mother, I made sure his bedding was free of plastics or other materials likely to off-gas. (But not necessarily 100% cotton.) If you do nothing but wrap this mattress, you can feel confident you have eliminated at least one source of possible sids risk.
