[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow!  I've had my eye on this same daybed for a while now, and I've never heard of it off-gassing as badly as you describe it!  Maybe it is just the mattress?  Does it fit mattresses from other stores?  If so, I'd see if taking out the mattress makes a difference.  It would be a shame to toss the entire thing out if it might be just the mattress.[/quote]

Since I'm working from home today I moved the mattress out of that room and will see if that helps. It really is a pretty cool bed, and I haven't seen anything else like it. I would caveat that if you have carpet, it might not roll out as easily as it does on hardwood. I *believe* it fits a standard twin size mattress, but I will measure it to be sure.

I did smell the mattress alone, and it does stink horribly. Even the mattress pad and sheets on it smelled bad.

New question, anywhere local that sells great non-toxic, non-smelling mattresses? I think this bed has to have a foam or latex style mattress, not one with inner springs, since it's on a platform.[/quote]
