All I need to know is if you put a toxic flame retardant or any other scary chemicals on the cotton before putting them in the over; the cotton doesn't have to be organic-- Please, I am desperate; I am very ill with MCS--

They use Boric Acid as a flame retardant. It is in the product description.

If you are concerned about chemicals, you probably shouldn't buy these. When I first opened these- they smelled AWFUL- very "chemically", like parrafin candles or something. After I washed them, everything else in the washer smelled bad too.

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).

They are washed in a petroleum-based solution. I just called the company to find out why. Also, there is a Prop 65 warning label on the product that it may cause cancer. Read up on prop 65 in California!

No. They say use cotton bedding because most of the other kinds of bedding are treated with harsh chemicals.

The problem I see is that the heat necessary to melt the adhesive will burn the silk. It happened to me when I tried to use it on polyester. Cotton was just fine.

I returned and refunded it. It's toxic. Why poison the kid? I did air it out and even washed it but it made no difference. Get rid of it!

I didn't tye dye, but I did dye a few solid colors. The dye takes well to them, because they are cotton. I would think tye dying would work just as well.

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.

Good grief Naturepedic's answer was annoying, not to mention cagey. All that lead-up made me feel like it was going to be something much worse between the cotton layers than it actually is. Why can't the company just say, "food grade polyurethane?"

No, they are not. I worried that only the cotton used to make the sheets was GOTS (because manufacturers can do anything to fabric once they have it, right?). But it's not just the cotton and the dyes, but the fully finished sheet, and even the packaging that are safe, natural, and organic -- everything is independently certified to the Global Organic Textile Standard.

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.

I definitely washed mine before using them - hate to think of any of their processing chemicals touching your M&Ms;!

Here's what I just got from the company -- they seem really nice, by the way.Polyurethane foam itself is a good material and is the best balance from a comfort/safety perspective. However, when used in thicker mattresses/upholstered furniture, it does require toxic flame retardants, which are the root of the problem. We have certainly seen opinions that call out polyurethane itself as unsafe, but they are limited (not nearly as prevalent nor credible as the research showing the problems with flame retardants), and all of the research we have done makes us very comfortable using it (both as a company and personally with our own kids).

I would say this is probably risky. I would be wary of the 23% synthetic fiber content. I had 100% cotton that I was working with when I used it, and as you can see above, it had very variable results. The answer would lie in how much you like your jeggings, I guess.

There are no flame retardant chemicals. The flammability requirements are met by using natural fibers, such as cotton, instead of more flammable petroleum-based fillers, such as polyurethane foam.

I need to know for sure if these sheets are 100% cotton NOT microfiber!? I can't use mixed!! Thank you.
