A doctor has provided 1 answer
Foam mattress: It is not all that simple. If you are having problems you can take a small same of it (maybe with the help of the manufacturer0 to an allergist for a patch test with controls. Sometimes it is not the foam matress but fungicides or other chemicals or even dust mites.
