No I have not found fleas in mine, may want to check and see if you have a dog or black speck producing machine.

I used a handheld model with a nozzle and other attachments. I SLOWLY steamed the mattress&box; springs(front and back) and the entire bed and surrounding carpet. Pay special attention to the seams, and quickly use plastic mattress covers that zipper-shut to encase each piece. REPLACE pillows. WASH all bedding. buy the McCulloch. handheld model didn't work after that one time(about 2hours usage)if bugs all over your house, hire an expert!

Hi Medi, I'm out of town right now so I can't go to my own bed and experiment with the sheet. All I can say is that it seemed pretty standard to me . . . do you regularly have trouble with standard fitted sheets? If so, you might have the same problem with these. Write back if you want me to experiment a bit when I'm home again (Sunday, Jan. 5) and get back to you with more info.

I had the same problem - I had to give all my old sheet sets to Goodwill; make sure to watch for 'deep pockets' when buying new!

i have had this very problem after a few wks of use. I'm on my 2nd and i don't know if it's just the queen size having faulty issues. I use heavier blankets and wait 20 mins before bed, but in the first week I couldn't turn it down enough it was scalding. Now i forever have cold feets! =) UPGRADE!

Is it dead fleas? My cat didn't have that. I will tell u I did find a tick on floor spayed this right in and sucker died immediately so I'm guessing they died right on your cat. I would also spay in bedding area and carpet if some jumped of that's why I use the trap and this

We bought them a year ago and I had the same concern. So far that has not been an issue but I made sure they were squared off when set the same as the bed otherwise a point could be an issue!

Mine fully expanded but it took a few days. Just FYI- DO NOT REMOVE THE COVER. I took it off to wash it and ended up with some shiny type of stringy material that got onto everything in my bedroom and caused some itchy allergic reaction. That was a couple months ago and I am still frequently finding it on our clothes and bedding.

Yes Arlene, Word of WARNING, if you need to RETURN any unopened products from "Etailz" (KLEEN GREEN NATURALLY, for laundry affected) or "Jaurasee" for the PET PISTOL/POWDER "like I did via UPS on 2.24, they will keep your return and not refund you . They are crooks. Otherwise, no worries. you use Thomas Labs (avail here in 3lb.container)in both your vacuum and place four of these bugs strategically round four corners of bed. They are tricky little rascals, even though I ended up with APHIDS, thank God, have had pals go thru this mess. The powder kills them on contact. They also detest DRYER SHEETS??? Also, they hate alcohol so continue spraying your carpets; furnishings;bedding with pure rubbing alcohol for a month. All clothing must be washed in special detergent, bleach DOES NOT KILL THEM. Other clothing removed from home for dry cleaning. They permeate your life. Get the "BEDLAM" sprays (two large bottles for 35.00 here)and treat all mattresses. I threw out (thinking had bed bugs but did not)550.00 of memory foam bedding. OUCH. Be sure you plan on keeping the products mentioned as they will steal your money and not refund you, and vacuum each day after spraying. It is major hassle and I feel for you.

I can't really help you on this. I filed our warranty and receipts away already. If it helps, we are really pleased with our purchase. It smells for the first few days and is pretty firm for a week or so. Its not so now and my husband's neck and back don't bother him at night anymore. Even my kids love the new bed. I'm sorry if I wasn't much help.

WOW! Almost 2 years later and this question is still here - and 'answers' from non-ferret owners.We had a ferret who had fleas. He was in a cage a lot of the time. This sticky pad device worked, but the carpet and bedding around the cage had to be sprayed with a flea killer / insecticide. He also was washed with a flea shampoo. That really got them - bloody varmints.

I would for sure make sure everything had dried properly. If not there can be a clog. And make sure the arrows match up it they aren't the release won't be proper.. that's my only advice or call the company. My daughter is growing gaining weight and having normal stools. Had it over 2months without any constancy issues.

No. We did not have that issue. Maybe it is overheating slightly, and off-gassing since it is new. I find that a lot with new plastic goods/furniture. If it lasts for more than a few days, I'd be concerned.

You want to catch this problem as early as you can. Trust me, if you can put on socks and see them jumping on your feet that's pretty bad. You don't want to wait for the sock test to be a viable test. The minute you think you got a bite put a white dish with some soapy water (not full of bubbles, just gently mix in a good amount of dish soap) on the floor and use a reading lamp or whatever light will work to put a light about a foot high over the soapy water. Leave it overnight, the only light in the room the lamp light over the soapy water. If there is a single flea in that room it will be dead in the water in the morning. If you check it in the morning and it's empty, just soapy water, there are no fleas.

Mine is doing the same thing! I've bought these before and they have been fine. Something is up with this mattress!

You really have to saturate the bed, they hide in every little crevice & crease. If you have carpet in the bedroom, don't forget to spray it as well, don't let any sheets or covers touch the carpet...they are difficult to get rid of and you will most likely have to spray several times. Good Luck.

We live in OH and love this mattress. We have had it for 2 years now. Last year, in the spring, we noticed our platform frame was beginning to mold and the mattress was extremely damp. We thought we had fixed the issue by drilling holes into the platform to aid airflow, however, this year we are once again experiencing mold problems. We thought buying a slotted frame might help, but all the research suggests platforms. Has anyone else had issues with mold with this mattress or with platform beds?
