I've posted about this several times, the story belongs here too.

One year ago, the week after Thanksgiving 2019, I put a brand new memory foam mattress topper pad on the bed.

By mid-December I was extremely ill. Granted I was already in a state of overwork and exhaustion and burnout.

I could barely get out of bed, it started as a sore throat and went directly to my lungs. I had the worst chest cold I've ever had in my life, and I've had plenty of very bad ones.

I was so exhausted and weak, and my lungs felt so weird, like they were vibrating, never felt that before.

I was out from work for a week and then I went back, I was still coughing with bronchitis (not unusual for me). Every weekend I was sick in bed all weekend, not getting up for anything but the most basic necessities.

Around the end of January or maybe mid February, can't remember, I put two and two together about the timing of putting the memory foam topper on the bed and proceeding to get deathly ill, sicker than I've ever been in my life.

I took the mattress pad off and washed all the bedding and 2 days later I felt completely normal and cured.

Then last June I thought I would experiment and put it back on the bed to see what would happen. Right away I felt deathly ill in my whole body, unlike anything else.

Took it off again, felt fine.

I thought about this because I would feel worst in the morning, when I woke up from sleeping on that thing all night, and then progressively feel better throughout the day.

What I have read about this memory foam toxicity thing is that these mattress materials are treated with poisonous flame retardants.

Antimony is one of them and it is supposed to be more toxic than mercury. So, one of the most toxic things known, and they put it on children's sleepwear and bedding materials that you spend half your life on.

It's just another factor and possibility.

We have heard of people who were sick, who did not get a positive test, but were counted as "presumed covid" because of the symptoms and nothing else.

I mean seriously if you get a cold now, it would be "presumed covid" without a test right?

But they aren't taking these environmental factors into account AT ALL.
