The mattress is very comfortable and my husband loves it. However I've started to have outbreaks of hives (red itchy bumps in torso and neck area) and am wondering whether I have a latex allergy. I've never had them before and they only started to occur after sleeping on the mattress for a few weeks. We have a bliss pillow too. Has anybody else had that problem?

Mary, Latex is a topical allergy, which means your skin has to come into direct contact with latex to react to it if you have an allergy. Between your body and the latex in your mattress is typically your sleepwear, a fitted sheet, a mattress protector, the zippered cover of the mattress, and the fire retardant layer. You should see your doctor to see what your reaction is to. Sleeping on a latex mattress and having a reaction to a latex allergy is not likely. We do always recommend people who have a latex allergy not take the zippered cover off their mattress or pillow or topper to launder them. When these covers are removed the latex is "touchable."
