Newly opened memory foam has the faint odor that, while not dangerous, can be quite bothersome for some. Here are a few tips that should help you enjoy your memory foam mattress from the moment you take it out of the packaging.
1.Air out the foam.
Open the windows of the room, open the packaging, and let the mattress breathe for some time before putting any sheets on. An electric fan will increase air circulation thereby allowing the smell to leave the room faster.
2.Use deodorizers.
Place a bowl of ground coffee or coffee beans on one side of your memory foam bed. A bowl of distilled white vinegar left overnight would also be a great deodorizer that ought to get rid of other foul scents in your room as well. A scented candle will release carbons into the air that bind to the carbons of unpleasant odors much like that found from newly opened memory foam mattresses.
3.Apply dust mite spray
Protect yourself from the effects of dust mites by applying dust mite spray on the memory foam before covering with sheets. Not only will you prevent allergenic reactions and a host of other ailments from the presence of dust mites, but many dust mite sprays have a safe clean scent that eliminates the smell of memory foam as well.
4.Fabric softeners help.
Most fabric softeners have a scent rating; choose one that has a strong enough scent that will mask the smell of newly-opened memory foam. Fabric softener sheets act as deodorizers too. Have some of them lie around the room while airing out your memory foam mat in the meantime.
5.Change sheets often
For the first couple of days while the memory foam is new, replace your sheets nightly or every other night. The smell of freshly laundered sheets is often enough to mask the smell of new memory foam.
6.Use an ozonator
Ozone is the natural way our planet purifies the air we breathe and cleans our environment, making the air smell sweet and the sky blue. It is also the most powerful disinfectant readily available to mankind. Ozone increases the storage life of foods by oxidizing some chemicals and by neutralizing ammonia and ethylene. Its commercial purpose is the elimination of odors. An ozonator can quickly rid your room of the smell of newly-opened memory foam.

How to Choose a Memory Foam Mattress?
Many companies offer memory foam mattresses, which may vary in quality. The following guide provides simple tips for finding a high quality memory foam mattress. When looking for a memory foam mattress, look for information on the density of the foam. Lower density foam is often cheap and low quality, while higher density foam provides a more comfortable sleeping experience. A high quality mattress should contain at least 6 inches of high density memory foam, with lighter foam layered on top. When buying a mattress, make sure that the foam is genuine memory foam. Squeeze a sample, and see how long it takes to expand. If the foam expands to it's original shape in less than a second, it's not memory foam.
