A member asked:

Can you breakout in sweat due to the mattress you sleep on? are there any particular allergies that a mattress can trigger?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Yes: If the mattress has a foam top it can make you sweat, it is not an allergy.

Agree with Dr.Mumneh: Sweating is not a sign of any allergy. Synthetic sheets or mattress covers are a likely cause because they absorb less than cotton. Many people have allergy to dust mites or even mold in the mattress but not sweating.
