I moved into a new apartment. It's furnished, clean, chill. Also I break out in hives when I lay in bed with the fresh bedding provided to me. Currently washing a blanket but I've just ruled that one out as a cause. I'm out of detergent for washing the remaining sheets and snowed in. I think I'll sleep in this chair :)

Send them through a soapless wash.

Yeah this is the best idea. It sounds like they are allergic to the washing powder used previously so diluting that should help. It's probably worth doing a rinse cycle on the machine too depending how much you've put through it already just to get rid of any residue from whatever you're reacting to. Just make sure it's skin only and your breathing is still ok.

It might be the mattress.. try sleeping on a couch? Or hotel bed

Damn, that sucks! I had a friend in college who got bed bugs, and he slept on the ground for like a year until he could afford a new mattress.
