Re: 20 year old mattress or brand new?

Get an organic mattress if you are worried about it. The 20 year old one is

likely to have some nasty stuff in it that collected over the years.

Subject: [ ] 20 year old mattress or brand new?

 

Time to move our 4 y/o to a big girl bed.

I haven't read a lot about mattresses etc. I was worried about the new furniture

smell and off gassing.

Then I realized that we have a mattress that I bought about 20 years ago (yikes,

my first mattress after college). She could use that one.

Should we try that one first and see if there are any reactions? Or would you

suggest a brand new one?

We recently bought a new mattress and in my research I came across several

times, " after 10 years, half of a mattress's weight is in dead dust mites.

Yikes!
