Can chemicals in gel foam cause Dermatitis?

My husband and I have been sleeping on a Beauty Rest Recharge Mattress for almost 3 years. I have been suffering from a contact dermatitis about the same length of time. Allergy tests have shown some environmental reactions but I've not been able to pinpoint the source.

One severe reaction is to Blue #1 dye, another is polysorbet 80, an emulsion chemical. I can't find the chemicals in the gel foam but thought y'all may jknow them and could direct me.

I've elimated lots of things from my diet and still itch. Any help appreciated Jane
