What type of flame retardant is used on your futon?

Info says boric acid. There is no odor. Boric acid is non-toxic. Used for washing contacts and such. So if it meets fire specs, I wonder why everyone isn't using it. Mattress seems very good.

I bought the frame from overstock.com. Pragma fold bed frame twin. Chick this out.

Hi Laurin, Our beds are free of PBDEs as well as boric acid. Our cotton-bamboo cover is quilted with a rayon blend that is inherently inflammable. This rayon is blended with sand and a small amount of polyester.

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.

Hi Janice- they changed the law so that flame retardants are no longer required to be added to changing pads. The outer cover does retard burning, and the inner cushion remains flame retardant free.

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.

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.

Hi Tina I apologize for the delay below is your answer: We use a premium fabric made with fire retardant inherent fibers. The fabric is woven with fiber glass fibers that are inherently fire resistant. No chemical is used to process the fabric. Please advise with any other questions or concerns.

I have this same tent in the Carolini version and contacted HABA before buying. Their tents do NOT have flame retardants in them, but are intrinsically retardant by nature of the construction of the fabric (polyester)--meaning, they do not add flame retardant chemicals like most other children's play tent companies do. (This tent had absolutely no funky odor upon opening.) Higher priced than others, but worth the extra investment in my child's health and well-being. These tents are high-quality, sturdily constructed, safe, beautiful and will last a lifetime.

Sorry, but I have no idea. I don't think any of these are, however, as they look to be woven plastic. I wouldn't use is near or over an open flame. Check with the manufacturer.

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

The material is comprised of vinyl and plastic components, thus I don't believe it could be fire retardant, but I suggest you to go through a further research to confirm it.

I had that same issue. I have to buy a spray to make it fire retardant. They sell it at Home Depot.

Hello We do not add any flame-retardants to our Roma or Naturale mattresses. In the Roma, we use Rayon as a natural fire-barrier. In the Naturale, we use the wool as a natural fire-barrier. Thank you kindly, have a terrific day! SleepEZ

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).

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