      Hey, John, thanks for the hug. Nice to hear from you. So sorry you're struggling with the MCS, and having to work extra hours. This disorder really sucks!

      Oh, sorry, return policy, there IS no returning, if I not mistaken. Better ask them.

      They have a test kit of the cotton and other stuff, they charge for it, I think. You take it home and sleep with it under your pillow.Or clear yourself as much as possible and sniff it outside for a time period. In my case, I just lied down on the mattresses in the showroom, and I knew it was ok. I think it will be fine for you, honestly. By the way, I also purchased two recliners from them, because I could no longer tolerate my old ones, and even be in the same room with them. That's when we had a bit of money, because I had been working full time.

      Yes, I am sure he will. It's really a formality the store has to follow. And, unless you have a miraculous health care plan, if you submit a claim for the mattress set as durable medical goods, it will probably be denied. But try anyway. It took quite a while for the set to arrive. Weeks. I slept on an air mattress covered with about ten layers of cotton sheets that I put on the living room floor (the varnish in my bedroom had yet to be sanded off - another expense)! You see, I really do understand how far a person will go in order to get away from unpleasant triggers. When that mattress set came, I slept in it first night, like a baby. The cotton does have a strong odor at first, but quickly airs out. I did not experience a reaction from it. I don't mean to push you to a particular vendor when shopping for the set. I'm not get ting a kickback, honest. I bought my set back in 2003, there may be other vendors in the Boston area by now. And it's a big expense, so I wouldn't want to feel responsible if you got it and it didn't work for you. I guess that's a disclaimer, but you know what I mean. Make sure you test it for suitability to YOUR sensitivities, which may differ from mine or others.
