Had my first ever asthma attacks while sleeping on my new tempurpedic mattress which is now a 3-yr-old mattress. After
1 1/2 years, I finally suspected the connection between scary respiratory distress, my sheets being 'eaten through' after long contact w/mattress, and skin irritation. My tempurpedic mattress now is out in the back yard awaiting junk pick-up as I can't in good conscience sell it to anyone. Still awaiting response to inquiries from the outlet, manufacturer, etc.
Happy Nightmares!

When I bought our temperpedic they gave us a free pillow. I had three nights if a stiff neck, and one night of feeling light headed. I dumped the pillow.
I bought a heavy, all cotton mattress cover after a month the of sweats, and slight breathy problems. If there is ever a class action on this mattress, my medical records will bear that I had hives, breathing problems, and general aches.
An improvement with the thick cotton cover. Cannot afford to dump the bed, but never buy again!

I am allergic to Latex . I was at one of the mattress stores in Cincinnati Ohio and they had a glass vase full of the material that their mattresses are made of .It is used to show you how the material feels . I put my hand in the vase and seconds later my hand started itching and I had to find a restroom to wash my hand off, The itching took all night to go away. This mattress may be fine for those who are not allergic to latex products but people who have an allergy to it should be warned.

God, to read this....I've been going through the same thing for the last 3 weeks, I've had memory foam on my bed and couch for over 3 years, just took off the cover and looked at it, both are discolored on the top, I pray that it is this, and I've just taken a while to build up the reaction, because I am also an actor, and just had a audition for Best Buy, and basically blew it on purpose because I didn't want to book it and then show up on shoot day with having it spread to my face, (hadn't quite gotten there yet)

So I've been having the exact same reaction and I've had my bed for years and suddenly started breaking out in hives 7 months ago, but it's only when I sleep. However it happened after I finally took off the cover and cleaned it, I didn't know you could take it off initially. Doctors cannot figure out what is wrong me and I've been trying to figure out what it is as I'm not allergic to a single thing! I almost feel like taking the cover off of my tempur pedic released the toxins in the mattress, not to mention post partum pregnancy changes your entire body. I will get in the bed and in a matter of a 1/2 hr I feel a warm tingle throughout my body and the hives appear. I wake up every morning with huge hives on my torso, legs, arms, swollen face, and palms.
How do you go about testing the bed?

I am experiencing the same rash problem and nasal problems. It has been driving me crazy. Do you have a mattress cover over your mattress? Our mattress is a Temperpedic and we have a mattress cover and of course sheets.

Hi there, I have experienced the exact same symptoms as you!!! It's awful!!! My eyes are so red & itchy and it is driving me crazy. I see you posted this a year ago. How long did it take for your symptoms to disappear? I realized it was my pillow about 2 weeks ago & haven't slept on it since. I'm hoping it will go away - this has been the worst experience ever. You may want to do a kidney / liver cleanse because these chemicals get lodged in our organs. God bless!

IT is 4:30 in the morning and since I can't sleep, due to itchy hives, I decided to look around for what I suspect is causing them.
I have been suffering off and on for 2 yrs. with hives.I have been on many courses of steroids, Zyrtec , Zantac, ect. I never really. Suspected the tempurpedic bed until now. MY Drs. Have called this, chronic. Idiopathic urticaria. I'm even taking xolair shots once a month.
Finally, I think, I've discovered it's the mattress.
Whenever I go away or sleep in a different room, I seem to get better.
We have a new bed coming on Dec. 1.
I'll repost if I find that I'm free of hives after using the bed.

I found a vinyl zippered mattress pad at Bed Bath and Beyond. I will try it tonight and hope it gives me some relief. My doctor agrees that I am likely allergic to the memory foam and gave me a prescription anti-itch cream.

I have "official" (logo embedded in design) TempurPedic pillow and bed. I now, too, am just discovering what I am, in a way, somewhat relieved to know -- I am not alone with severe hives outbreak. I threw away the pillow, am using synthetic, and the symptoms have lessened. I am now on the hunt for a replacement bed. TempurPedic is potentially poisonous, as far as I'm concerned.

I bought memory foam mattress topper a year ago, since then I have been itching all over my body. Thank God today I decided to google it & wala! I wasn't alone. Thank you all of you for taking the time to share these issues.

Mine is actual TempiPedic brand. Severe hives breakout, which disappeared entirely when I was away from home for three weeks. Not four hours after going to bed when I got home I had a severe outbreak on shoulders, neck, face.

I've been reading the responses here. I, too, developed a rash and have tried steroids, a lot of antihistamines and now on Xolair shots. The only thing different since starting the rash was our tempurpedic mattress. We had one prior and had no issues. Since getting a new firmer tempurpedic, I started with this rash. I have been tested for thyroid, lupus and other things. My dermatologist believes its idiopathic urticaria. I am now going to see an allergist. I am also going to switch back to our old mattress to see if that helps. I will keep you posted.
