We have bought new furniture recently and moved to the new apartment. Since Day One we were there, my wife has been suffering from itching all over the body when lying down on the bed, which turned out to be most serious last night which reduced her into sleepless. we heard it could be coz of a chemical named Formaldehyde or Formalin which is poisonous they placed into the bed materials and sofa. Anyone has got any idea how to get rid of that? Thanks a lot..

Expecting suggestion eagerly..

Dear Snowwhite

I never had any experience of bed bug....

will try to check it out...But i doubt. coz we were both on the bed, while i do not suffer from that, but just a bit of headache every morning, which i doubt has everything to do with that chemical...

Thanks all...

We changed the mattress cover which turned out to be useless...

The mattress is manufactured in Doha, BTW...

Anything else you can help to think of?

Formaldehyde is not allowed in the EU. If you buy furniture from China, well...
