Oakfurnitureland Mattress Odour

Just wanted to post this so hopefully no one else gets caught out.

Purchased a bed and mattresses from Oakfurnitureland the mattress arrived rolled up when you open the packaging there is a note inside saying that they may have an odour, this is an understatement I’ve had one two weeks and it still gives me headaches, Oakfurnitureland will not accept a return even though we have not been able to use it.

I am now stuck with a mattress that is venting gases from the chemicals they have treated it with nowhere on their website does it tell you that this maybe the case.

Mattresses can and do sometimes have an odour. Naturally filled ones can have an ‘animal’ smell, Memory foam fillings are renown for having a chemical odour and the FR (fire resistant) treatments applied to mattresses can also smell. With rolled up mattresses these are stored in a plastic bag, sometimes for up to 3 months, and so any odours have little or no chance to escape. Leave the mattress uncovered (no bedding) in a well ventilated room for a couple of days and the smell should go. Although very occasionally unpleasant no harm will come from inhaling any odours.

Full credit to Oakfurnitureland they eventually took the mattress back and gave me a full refund.
