This has actually been a discussion for many years. Some memory foam mattresses have been found to contain VOCs which can be very harmful to humans especially to babies. This is why those mattresses supposedly smell like gasoline.
VOCs can cause cancer.its the same component thats been found in paint and other substances that have already been banned from use.
If you think youve bought a mattress with high content of VOC and its impossible to return this and get your money back, then you can opt to not use it right away. Let it off-gas first as what some people have been doing. Take it out of the package and put it in the garage or air it out in the attic.
If you dig for some information online about memory foam mattresses, you may find that a lot of users have said that this mattress has a tendency to become to warm, especially in the lighter months of spring or summer.
