What are the fire-retardents used on this mattress?

There are no fire-retardants used on this mattress. Latex mattresses do not require this.

Hello and thank you for your question. The organic cotton knit cover is padded with rayon fiber which acts as the natural fire barrier in the Roma mattress. Please feel free to call our factory/showroom directly at 480-966-9282 if you have any other questions. Thanks, Sleep EZ

The mattress IS foam. The tag says, This mattress meets the requirements of 16 CRF Part 1633 (federal flammability (open flame) standard for mattress sets) when used WITHOUT a foundation. THIS MATTRESS IS INTENDED TO BE USED WITHOUT A FOUNDATION

I talked with a sales rep from Sleep EZ and he told me that the mattress cover is made with an organic cotton knit material. He also told me that they use 1/4 inch of rayon as a fire retardant on each side and include 1 inch of soy foam under the cover on each side for a plush feeling. He also told me that the firm side of the mattress consists of 4 inches of Dunlop natural latex with a 40 ILD rating and the medium firm side consists of 3 inches of Dunlop latex with a 26 ILD rating. The company now has a label on each side of the mattress to identify which side of the mattress is firm and which side is medium firm

I would not buy the Sleep Innovations Mattress again. Sleeps too Hot. Maybe it's just me and my wife. Our next one will be a Serta Gel.

We used these on our old mattresses and didn't have the off-gassing of new mattresses, so I can't adequately answer.

I use a box spring and am not aware of any fire hazard. I've had no issues.

Sorry, I really don't know about the ire retardant material. But I'm looking for a memory foam mattress ,I have one now and love it but I'm sizing down to a full, this one I have is wonderful, it cost me a lot of $$$$paying off in payments, I found I really don't need Queen, its just me. But about the mattress mine has a gel, which allows it to remain cool, which I like very much. I purchased a brand name, which does cost quite a bit of$$$$. I'm interested in an off brand and trust Amazon.com and rather not spend a lot, but then again, I don't like it to it being compressed, which I'm sure you've seen them, even on Amazon. again sorry, that I really did not address yur question.

Kim, I'm not really sure. It is somewhat heavier then the others I looked at, and well made, but I just didn't need to worry about any fire-retardant quality.

We bought one of these for our camper. We put a regular mattress pad and sheets on it. It is not hot.

I don't know. I don't see that info listed on the tag. It just says "This mattress meets the requirements of 16 CFR Part 1633 (federal flammability (open flame) standard for mattress sets) when used without a foundation." I don't have the packaging anymore... not sure if that even said anything about chemicals.

Check out http://www.davincibaby.com/willow-natural-coconut-palm-crib-mattress and hover your mouse over the 'Meets Federal Flammability Standard CFR-1633'. They explain that the mattress does not contain any flame retardant materials, but use a thin layer of cotton-like material (possibly with Dupont chemicals) that do not contact the user and they use Kevlar thread to make the mattress, which is flame resistant. I did notice a slight odor when I removed it from the plastic wrapper, but aired it for several months before baby arrived and the slight smell was long gone. Good luck with your purchase- we have just flipped this one to the toddler side and I am still very happy with the purchase.

It appears that they are not. Here is a link to a blog where someone wrote and asked them: ladyplusbaby.com/?tag=halo-response-about-fire-retardant ...it's on the ladyplusbaby website and is a post tagged "halo-response-about-fire-retardant"...in case the weblink is blocked. On that page is posted these emails from Halo: Randall, Polyester is a natural flame retardant fabric; therefore all our fleece and comfort mesh items pass the standards with out flame retardant chemicals. Our cotton sleepsacks are made without the chemicals but can only pass the standards in the smaller sizes. This is the reason they are only made in these sizes. The flame resistance standards for children's sleepwear gets stricter as the sizes get larger. This is due to the mobility of the child increasing with size. If you have any other questions, please let us know. Christy Halo Innovations Customer Service ---------------------------------------------- Hello Randall, We do not use any flame resistance chemicals on any of our items. They pass the minimum standards for flame resistance without the use of chemicals. The standards are different based upon the size and mobility of the child therefore, the standards for larger or older children are more strict than for infants. This is why some of our products are only available in certain sizes. There are different CPSC levels of FR standards. The SleepSack wearable blanket falls into category 1610 which is for bedding categories. IF we were in a pajama category which is 1615 then the cotton SleepSacks would not pass without treatment. If you would like to learn more about this please visit the CPSC web site. http://www.cpsc.gov/ Regards, Karen Customer Service Halo Innovations Also on the Halosleep FAQ page, they say they are not chemically treated also. Hope that helps.

I can't answer that, since I haven't used one on the mattress. You might try to ask someone at a mattress store.

I think the product description says that it is fire retardant. I have dropped a couple of hot coal on it and the mat did not burn. I bought the product to protect my deck and so far it has worked perfectly.

I'm not sure if it contains any flame retardant materials in it. Although, I can say it is a fairly comfortable bed topper, I can answer that. I've had it for about a year now and it's served me well so far, I just turn it over every month.
