I have the same question. We have a wonderful Select Comfort 5000 mattress but found mold within the components. Select Comfort graciously replaced all the affected areas for free, for which we are grateful. The most recent replacement however, the black foam egg crate, seems to be off-gassing and causing us problems. My wife wakes each morning with a swollen face and botox-like lips. Her lips are so dry, chapped and peeling, always trying to recover from the damage done overnight. We have both had sore throats lately with some sneezing and coughing that never develop into a cold or flu. My wife now has burning in her throat and sinuses, and minor headaches. My question is this: once a person finds that a mattress component is off-gassing, what can be done? How can we clean it? How can we rid it of the damaging chemicals?

Tips for Foam Mattress Maintenance?
While foam mattresses need not be turned like conventional mattresses, the first word in foam mattress maintenance is the same as it would be for the maintenance of a standard mattress. That word is protection.
