Huh, thanks.

So now I'm incredibly curious -- the sore throat I get from memory foam. Is there any way to know whether that's simply a result of the VOC's damaging the cells in my throat directly? Or if it's an allergic reaction happening in that spot?

I have definitely been curious why memory foam would give me a sore throat specifically, when the offgassing is making equal contact with my skin, sinuses, etc.
