Yes, research about the "gas" and/or toxic chemicals allowed in furniture, mattress, flooring, etc... We ordered one that was cheaper and it smelled terrible for over a week with the windows open and an air purifier (no carbon filter though). We returned it and made sure that it was Green Guard certified. We've also added 4 Boston fern plants and just got a new air purifier that is good for removing more harmful chemicals, mold, etc...
