Brand New Gray Traditional Japanese Floor Futon Mattresses, Foldable Cushion Mats, Yoga, Meditaion.
This mattress has horrible gasoline chemical smell. After sleeping on this mattress for a few days, I have bad headache and I feel like throwing up.This product was to be purchased for school. Item came in the mail and later subsequently opened to what was an extremely foul chemical/gasoline like smell. Completely unacceptable. I've been in garages where the odor has been more pleasant than this abomination for a futon mattress. Despite having had it sit in the sun for an afternoon the odor did not dissipate. The odor was so strong that the entire room would fill with its stench let alone any one who dare lie atop the futon. As such, a polite request to the seller was sent. Upon multiple messages the seller (DAN) finally replied completely side-stepping the issue of it being a defective and potentially hazardous product. He tried drawing the relationship of buying his goods to buying a tee shirt from a stand. Needless to say, Dan is standing by his product and refusing to provide a refund even despite my offer to pay the return shipping costs. Hey Dan, last time I checked, tee shirts don't cost that much and can be washed! I'm done working with Dan, he and his entire outfit will be hearing from the Better Business Bureau. *According to other product reviews in the past, there appears to be a strong of reports regarding the foul chemical like stench coming from the futon. So this is not an isolated incident! As such, BUYER BEWARE!It does have a distinct smell, but it isn't bad. The mattress is a lot thicker than I expected and very comfortable. I don't have a bed, so I've been using this for several months and it's been great, plus it is nice to be able to roll it up for the extra space.Have been sleeping on this for two weeks while parents are visiting. The construction is solid, quite supportive and it provides enough padding from the hardwood floor I sleep on. It is still not very thick (~2 inches when compressed, so it COULD get cold during the night, depending on how much heat your downstairs neighbors put up, so extra insulation beneath might be needed.These mats do have a bad smell and it does not go away even with airing. Then if you want to do a return, the cost of shipping you paid to get the product with the added cost to return, comes close to full price of product to begin with. So you've just flushed money down the drain. Be careful!
