We purchased a new, expensive queen sleeper sofa from a top retailer (who shall not be named because I never write negative reviews and would have to in this case). Their mattress arrived stained and smelling like ammonia. I still wonder if the chemical smell damaged our lungs. The salesperson we were working with said it is typical with gel mattresses and you have to de-gas them. What? Needless to say we sent the mattress back. After being told that a replacement mattress wouldnt be available for 6 weeks with no guarantee I got a full refund of $392 for the mattress 20% off the price of the couch for our trouble. So we went looking online for the BEST sleeper sofa gel mattress and found Bob Villas excellent article on the subject. We bought his top pick, the Dynasty and it was almost 1/2 the price and arrived within 10 days. It is vacuum and pressure sealed and the queen came in a relatively small box that was left on our stoop. I couldnt believe how it grew and puffed up after we opened it. And NO SMELL! NONE! Degassing? I wrote to the top furniture store and made sure they knew that there are gel mattresses without gassing your customers! Thanks Dynasty, for saving the day. Now out sons friend, who is visiting for Thanksgiving will have a place to sleep!
A mattress that saved the day!
