The best way to let these mattresses lose their smell is to remove the casing and just let the mattress air itself out. Put it in a room with an open window. Don't put it into direct sunlight. It takes about 6 weeks. I recommend walking on the mattress with socks on regulalary to make it flex and air out faster.

As a former employee of a memory foam bed company, I can tell you it can take up to 3 weeks to get use to your bed, please be patient It can pay off in the long run.

We just purchased the Rhapsody Tempur-Pedic Bed and I have to say I am NOT happy with it after spending $3000.00. We have had it for 5 days now and it has an overwhelming INTOXICATING smell that is just NOT going away and my back has been hurting since we got it. That being said...my husband loves it and his back is feeling much better after 5 nights, but he doesn't like the smell of it. We wake up in the morning with the odor of polyurethane on our skin and hair. I took the sheets off and put new ones on. I just now went to wash the ones from the first night and the smell is still on them after not being on the bed for 4 days. WHAT IS THIS SMELL AND HOW CAN WE GET RID OF IT???

I purchased a tempurpedic bed at a local independently owned matress store for 1,050. I purchased the original double bed (which is the cheapest). After a month or two I noticed that weather I got up at 6:30 or 7:30 am I was getting up with energy like your ready to get up with no more tiredness. I love this bed I can't imagine how people live getting up tired everyday.
