Does this topper contain flame retardant?

I haven't seen this issue raised, but being all natural latex, I don't think it would contain flame retardants. Latex is not flammable like polyurethane.

No, it does not contain a flame retardant. A mattress company that uses talalay latex does not recommend using a natural foam mattress topper because it's so flammable: "...you might as well put gasoline on the top of your mattress..." (My research shows that P. Thornton is correct in saying that polyurethane is extremely flammable, as is memory foam, but I believe the statement that natural Latex is not flammable is incorrect.) When used in the interior of a mattress and surrounded by wool or natural cotton, natural latex is much less likely to burn. However, if you smoke in bed or have lit candles on the nightstand, it would NOT be a good idea to use a talalay topper. On the other hand, if you don't smoke in bed and keep lit candles a safe distance from the bed, by all means use natural latex as a topper.

Our model is from 2013. I'm not aware of any flame retardant chemicals used on the seat.

I honestly don't know if it's fire retardant or not. I would suggest you try to find a corporate number for Dr. brown's and try to call the company directly. I loved my Gia pillows when I was nursing, but fire retardant was something that never occurred to me in all honesty. Sorry I can't be more helpful but I really just don't know the answer to your question.

Don't know if it's flame retardant and I would gauge the firmess to be medium-hard. Cover comes off for easy washing.

I was just looking up this information on their website as I was considering purchasing this and they indicate that they do not use any PBDE flame retardants

I doubt it, since flame retardants are usually reserved for mattresses, pads, etc. but contact the manufacturer to know for sure. It's hard to say just from using it (though it doesn't smell, if that helps).

According to the label, it's filled with 100% Urethane foam. The label doesn't say what standards it adheres to, but there is a flammability statement, so that probably means no flame retardants. The cover is 100% cotton, again, no idea if it's treated cotton or not, but the instructions suggest putting the entire wedge under a sheet. I found that difficult to do personally, as it kept on coming uncovered. I don't have a pillowcase that's big enough for the wedge, but if I was still using it regularly I would probably make one.

There is nothing on the tags to indicate that it is flame or fire retardant. It did however state that it met all of the laws regarding the product. This makes me think that perhaps it is.

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

I doubt it. The fabric seat cover is easily removed and washed (about 100 times for me so far). I don't think fire retardants would stand up to that.

It's more firm than soft. No idea about the flame retardant but I doubt it since it is machine washable.

I would be highly surprised and disappointed if it was treated, as I purchased the topper under the impression that it wasn't. Also, the tag doesn't specify that it is flame-retardant or compliant with the law in that regard, and in fact advises against dry cleaning, and I directly quote, "because of the harsh and toxic chemicals used during the process". That said, I LOVE this topper. I can't recommend it highly enough. It's construction and quality is superb, and has made all the difference in the world comfort- and temperature-wise on our mattress. Before purchasing this topper, my fianc and I were overheating and miserable on our supposedly nontoxic foam mattress. I got the topper to hold us over until we can afford a latex mattress instead, but will definitely continue to use this organic topper even when we do. Hope this helps!

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.

I no longer have the packaging so I checked the tags on the curtain. They don't mention anything about flame retardants.

No it does not but still a great topper! I recommend getting a cover made for memory foam because it can get kind of warm in the summer.

my packaging states that it is 100% cotton flannel and water resistant. It does not address fire retardant.

Hi. I'm writing from Naturepedic. No, our products do not contain flame retardants or flame retardant barriers. Although we do pass (and sometimes are above and beyond) all Federal and State flammability standards. And, yes, newmom, you did see us on the Healthy Child Healthy World website. They recommend us.
