New mattress and a 3 month old baby…?




My husband and I bought a new bed and mattress. The mattress got here the day before the bed so it was left to air out in the spare room. The next day the bed was delivered so we set it all up. I noticed a smell in the bedroom afterward so we decided to sleep in the spare room because our 3 month old still sleeps in the same room as us. I am breast feeding and not ready to sleep away from her, but she IS in her own crib. We have left the bed to air out now for 5 days because I have still been concerned about possible fumes. The smell is definitely not as strong and my husband can’t even smell it, but I am super paranoid. :) We were going to try sleeping in there tonight. Point is, I wanted to know what other people think. Has it been long enough for any thing harmful to be out? Do you think it will be fine since she is in her own crib? Or does any one know about new mattresses being bad for babies?
I am sorry if it wasn’t clear, but the new mattress is not the baby’s mattress. Rather, it is a king size mattress for my husband and I. She is in her own crib with her own mattress, but my fear is regarding her being in close proximity to the smell of the new bed/mattress.

Thanks!

I think the smell is from storing a number of different stronger smelling vitamins/minerals in the cabinets (took them out). But also the smell seems to be in the bed mattress, it is a mystery to me… but I would like to know if there is anything that will neutralize the smell. I have tried air fresheners and baking soda and airing out but the vitamin smell just continues to take over and permeate.

Box spring and mattress?




I need to buy a new king size bed and a queen size bed for my master bedroom and guest bedroom .. but I am totally confused. Can you help me with the following questions I have?
1. For a king size bed my guess is I need to buy the following things
- King size bed frame, rails etc
- One king size box spring
- One king size mattress
2. Can I avoid a box spring and just buy the frames and the mattress?
3. Do we need to have a queen bed in a guest bedroom or a smaller one will do?
4. Again do I need a box spring for a queen bed?
5. How much will the average cost be of a complete King size bed/mattress and a queen size bed/mattress
6. Do you know of any cheap and good stores in the Virginia area?

Thanks for your help!

I have a queen size bed (mattress and box spring) and just purchased a queen size 4" Serta memory foam topper. I can’t find any recommendations as to whether I’m supposed to sleep directly on the foam or if I should have a bed sheet on the foam.
How long after opening up the mattress should I wait before sleeping on it? Remember, these things smell a bit funky at first. :)

I know some people who can fall asleep in less than 5 minutes and other people who have it much worse than me. Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to change pillows, get a new bed mattress or adjust my pre-sleep routine?

last week we decided to take it down (leak again) and sleep in a regular full-sized bed. We are so sleep-deprived-2 people can ACTUALLY get some rest on those things? I ordered another water bed mattress. Any other water bed addicts in Senior Land?

What is the best way to protect a futon mattress from a baby or child’s urine? My neighbors toddler loves to nap on my futon, which is fine with me, but she still has accidents. Right now I’m using a bed mattress pad but it doesn’t fit well. What is used in Japan in hotels and in families with young children to protect against accidents?
