Is Memory Foam Bad For Your Health?

There was once a time when many traditional and poor quality memory foams were thought to omit toxic gasses and to be manufactured with harmful fire retardants and other toxic chemicals.

In this video we explain how memory foam is healthier than you might have imagined.

Now the majority of reputable memory foam manufacturing plants only make CertiPur-US® certified foams. These foams meet the CertiPUR-US® standards for content, emissions, and durability, and have been analyzed by independent, accredited testing laboratories.

CertiPUR-US® approved foams are made without:
- ozone depleters
- PBDE flame retardants
- mercury, lead and other heavy metals
- formaldehyde.
- phthalates regulated by the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) emissions for indoor air quality of less than 0.5 parts per million.

Certipur is just the chemical industry regulating itself. It isn't an actual agency that was set up of its own accord.

All memory foams generate a big electrostatic field that is bad for your health. My doctor told me to, not just change pillows an mattresses, but throw them away from my home because of this.

if you can smell chemicals. It means its too high. slept on the mattress for 2 years before i figured out it was causing illness. Never lost that nasty chemical smell despite "off-gassing" ... best of luck

Recently, purchased two expensive memory foam mattresses. Honestly, I’ve had the worst back problems since buying a Nectar Premier & they have the WORST customer service. The other mattress isn’t good either but, they are at least nicer to return it. When in doubt go with something like a pillow top Kingsdown

Bs.... It's bad for your body and health.

Certipur is definitely a good step forward, but its limits should be lowered, and ideally they would add chemicals onto the list.

this is all just a fancy way of dancing around the fact the mattress is unhealthy. they can speak in ways that make it sound like it's safe without actually saying its safe. it conforms to the standards of the organization means they formed an organization and decided that High levels of emissions are acceptable and are in the low side of their scale. it's all sales jargon.

This is a pure lie. I have suffered many health problems from current memory foam. Threw them all out. It took me over a year to find out what was wrong with me. Bring on the lawsuits.

A sponsor of Certi-Pur is Dow Chemical, the largest chemical manufacturer in the US, and second-largest in the world, and one of the largest makers of polyurethane (if not the largest).

Certi-Pur only means a certain amount of VOC's are still emitted. Not zero.
Certi-Pur only measures eight outlawed phthalates, not all the rest, which are still harmful.
Certi-Pur only tests a small section of the mattress.
etc, etc.

Did not say that this is healthy or safe at all in this video... cause I doubt it is safe.

You’re better off with Latex but you don’t see many hybrid beds with it cause it’s expensive and they don’t make as much money that’s
Why there all predominantly foam of some discription and memory foam is to hot anyway

They are bad for sleeping but they aren't dangerous
