...in AEROBED I bought and LOVE. The thing is so comfortable but I'm chemically sensitive and the PVCs and phthalates are killing me. I can't get near the thing.

im trying the obvious - airing it out outside. I also sprinkled baking sofa on it to absorb the chemicals.

will it go away and how fast? also, any other thoughts on how to get it to off-gas any faster?

thanks!

Ooh, nasty PVCs.  I'm chemically sensitive and can't go anywhere near them without experiencing dizziness and migraines.  The only thing I can think of is carbon, since it absorbs VOCs, so I wonder if you could line your mattress with carbon sheets (they're sold in bulk for use as air purifier pre-filters on Amazon).  It's a strange suggestion, I know, but if you're desperate it might be worth a shot.

Good luck!
