will this contain the flame retardants in a conventional mattress?

Hi. I'm writing from Naturepedic. Absolutely not. We don't use those flame retardants in any of our products.

Hi. I'm writing from Naturepedic again. I responded to this earlier but just realized that I probably initially misunderstood your question. You said 'will this contain' not 'does this contain' so I believe you meant to ask if this product would prevent the flame retardants in a conventional mattress from off-gassing. Correct? The answer is no. To contain the off-gassing you need a complete seal - no possibility of air leaking out anywhere.

No! I don't believe so... From what I have read the company uses permanently bonded silica (think sand or glass) instead of conventional chemicals. The information used to be on their website, might still be.

I don't think the damage would be as bad as the fire might have been if any. Think it's just regular flame retardant . Peace and good luck

http://www.milliondollarbaby.com.hk/products/willow-natural-coconut-palm-crib-mattress it uses some fabric for DuPont under the cotton that makes it fire retardant but it doesn't tell you what it's treated with as well as they use flame-resistant thread-- Kevlar T-60, let alone they are not using a natural latex so this mattress is not natural at all

As of 2007, all mattress companies in the U.S. are required to use enough fire retardants to withstand a 2-foot wide blowtorch flame for 70 seconds. So, yes...it has fire retardants. Not sure which kind, as companies are not required to disclose this info.

I am not sure what you mean with flame retardant. It is not 100% cotton, the bottom of the bedding is silky.

I'm 190 and if I jump pretty high from the floor and land on one shoulder, I can bottom out just barely down to the frame. Mardie, I think they're asking about flame retardents for risk of carcinogens, rather than smells. Most states still require flame retardant sprays on foam mattresses, and this has a layer of foam, so I'm guessing it's got them.

I'm not an expert on chemicals, but I bought this natural latex mattress specifically for the reason that it is natural, and avoid allergic reactions that me and my then 6 year old daughter had against the best memory foam mattresses around. We are both perfectly fine with these mattresses. I highly recommend them, and the price is right at Amazon too.

According to the product description it is Flame retardant, meets CPSIA, CPAI-84, ASTM F963-11 and Canadian safety standards. Thank you, Hatch Early Learning

Not according to their website or product data. I researched this product and found it seemed safe. They get around having to add flame retardants by not using the crazy flammable material (foam) that requires it. Instead they use naturally more flame resistant materials (eg. wool, cotton, natural rubber depending on which model you get).

I can't speak to flame retardants, not sure, but didn't notice any nasty smell. The bed feels like a regular mattress and has been fine for a 200+ lb guest.

This is made of all natural latex. There are no synthetics in it. It does not have any toxic fire retardants.

It is not a problem. This man who did all the research on polyurethane and sids had all his research based on cotton only. Therefore he cannot vouch for anything beyond the limitations of his study. As a concerned and well educated mother, I made sure his bedding was free of plastics or other materials likely to off-gas. (But not necessarily 100% cotton.) If you do nothing but wrap this mattress, you can feel confident you have eliminated at least one source of possible sids risk.

No. You'd need to get a zipper type enclosure around the whole mattress that allows air out but not chemicals. Something like a BabeSafe Cover (google it) would protect from off gassing.

package says it is naturally inflammable. So, no they don't add retardants.

I don't recall seeing any mention of flame retardants being applied to the foam.
