I recently bought the Savant iComfort sleep system by Serta. I also had bought a new electric blanket, sheets and mattress pad. I only washed the sheets ahead of time before the bed arrived. I made the bed and slept in it within a couple hours. Immediately, I started to have a sinus/allergy reaction which led to coughing. I thought it was the electric blanket because it had a "new" smell. I washed it the next day and slept in the bed the second night. I coughed all night again with sinus/allergy irritation. Then, I decided to wash the new mattress pad because it also had a strong "new" smell as well. The new pillows that came free with my bed are also memory foam and I removed them from my room on the second night. I do have indoor/outdoor allergies and sinus problems with occasional asthma. Any Strong chemical odors I can not tolerate including perfumes. I'm beginning to realize that my new bed does have a chemical odor as I'm coughing every night, all night long. It is the fifth day and I really want to keep my new bed because I love the adjustable bed with iComfort mattress by Serta. I'm googling information to find out how to get rid of the "off gasses" from the mattress as quick as possible. Some say the smell lasted 20 days and others say to use heat and air the mattress out and room really well. I have stripped the mattress including its fabric encasement and opened all the windows for a short time. Then closed the windows and put an extra heater in the room with the mattress on its side trying to air everything out. I'm thinking of washing the mattress zipper encasement as a last resort. I would welcome any more suggestions because I like this mattress and want to keep it.
