I want to thanks each and everyone who have given me such great info on EMF's. It is a complex issue for sure. But I will take it slow, and see what works for me. Then I can report it back to you. Again, you all have been a lot of help. Thank you

try reading Radiation? Rescue by Kerry Crofton PhD available from amazon.com this is a very good contender for the book everyone should read when they discover that EMR is the casue of their symptoms. best wishes Sarah -----Original Message----- From: barbpom2000 <[hidden email]> To: [hidden email] Sent: Sat, 3 Oct 2009 19:20 Subject: [eSens] Thanks for all your input I want to thanks each and everyone who have given me such great info on EMF's.

Hi all,
We went shopping for a metal-free mattress yesterday (no inner springs), and from a comfort standpoint, it looks like we'll be getting one of those latex mattresses. Since latex is a type of rubber, I assume this will be good from an electrical sensitivity standpoint, in that a 6" slab of latex may even help block EMF fields from the floor below? (although perhaps we'll be less "grounded" than before?) Any other things I should be concerned about with a latex mattress? I'm not really concerned about them from an offgassing standpoint (as I was in the showroom and they didn't bother me there) or a contact allergen standpoint (as I won't be making any physical contact with the latex). If we end up getting one of these, I'll let you all know if it makes any difference in my quality of sleep compared to the metal inner spring one we've been using. I do think any close proximity with metal makes my ES worse, and my current mattress is probably my main source of close-proximity metal! Marc |
Beware that I got a foam mattress several years ago; the ones in the
showroom did not smell but the when delivered it stank terribly (it was a Tempurpedic). They said the smell would be gone in a week but it was more than a month. Unless it it organic or hypoallergenic, I would try to leave it in a room where it could outgas for at least week before using it.

This was exactly my same experience.
In addition, I found that the mattress I received seemed much firmer than the one in the showroom.

I went to a couple mattress stores. My nose told me something I
later confirmed online. The organic "Dunlop" process latex has an odor like latex gloves, while the organic "Talalay" latex has only a subtle smell that I did not find irritating. Unfortunately Talalay is considerably more expensive (one brand I didn't care for will supply either, but they charge nearly twice as much for Talalay). OrganicPedic by OMI uses Talalay and seems nice all around, but also costs more than other Dunlop organic ones.

You might try putting the mattress in an anti-allergenic zippered dust cover. We did that with one of our beds (I use an air mattress;but we also have a latex foam one in our house).

However, both my wife and I have had problems with the level of support it provides, which ends up causing back problems... we might have been better off getting the firmest latex mattress available, which admittedly we did not get.
