They are saying that there are NO LONG-TERM DATA about the health risks of the substances in mattresses. DO WE REALLY NEED TO WAIT FOR 15 YEARS AFTER MATTRESS USERS GET CANCER? I don’t think so. We need an immediate action!

ANYONE COULD BE A VICTIM. Many reviews showed similar symptoms of headache, coughing, nausea, asthma attack, and even heart attack.

The only way to make a change is by spreading awareness through media! After all, sleep is very important!
