What makes it fire retardant? I'm looking for a chemical free mattress. The chemicals used do not necessarily have an odor.

I have no idea what makes it fire retardant. The mattress did not have an odor that I could make out when it arrived. I have loved the mattress so far and it has been 3 months.

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.

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

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.

Naturepedic mattresses do meet all State and Federal flammability standards. The organic cotton used in Naturepedic mattresses is far less flammable than the polyurethane foam and other synthetic materials used in other mattresses. The organic cotton tends to smoulder, not burst into flames. The steel coils are not flammable. And this mattress does meet all safety requirements - without the use of toxic chemicals.

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.

I would definitely recommend the mattress cover even though the mattress is waterproof. In fact, I would get 2 of them; one to wash and one to use. You don't want the mattress smelling like pee for one, and it definitely will if you don't. It will also just be a lot cleaner. I'm all about making less of a mess if I can to have less to clean since there is already so much other cleaning that cannot be avoided. And pee is the cleanest thing that can end up on the mattress! I like to use peroxide in a spray bottle with paper towels when I do clean a waterproof mattress. I like that it doesn't smell and does a good job cleaning. I think it's a safer cleaner compared to say a Clorox wipe. I would recommend the flat one, instead of the fitted, so it will be easier to change. Or if your mattress isn't too heavy, it's really no big deal just to take the entire mattress out to change it so in that case the fitted would be fine too. (But then you have to take the crib bumper off. I actually took mine off since I got tired of taking it off and on all of the time.) Hopefully you have a Naturepedic mattress or other brand that doesn't use fire retardant chemicals to pass the flammability test. I've even read on a natural health doctor's website that when the pee, or other bodily fluids, mix with the fire retardant chemicals, it has a chemical reaction that makes an odorless gas that can cause SIDS.

I'm pretty sure it is flame retardant since it is sleepwear. I think it has to state if it is not flame retardant, such as sleepwear that is meant to fit snug on the body. I wish you could make that choice as a parent whether you wanted to have your child wearing clothing with chemicals, but I'm pretty sure the manufacturers aren't allowed to sell loose sleepwear without the flame retardant chemicals on it.

The details are given in the product description, here they are:- 100% Organic Cotton- Made in USA- Free of phthalates, vinyl, nontoxic polyurethane foam- Includes 100% cotton cover.It had a very faint smell. I aired it outside for about 30min and the smell was gone. It is actually a very good mattress. I would recommend it.

When i search from web I found out that Tiny Love does not use fire retardants on their cloth, But best way to verify that is mail/call directly to the manufacturer.

Yes odor free, they sell this at REI and most other camping supply places, I believe it's safe.

The resin used to make this furniture is polyethylene, a flexible plastic. I don't know if this is fire retardant or not, or how safe it is to get it close to flames. I don't recall seeing anything about it when I ordered the chair and don't see anything on the Amazon page about it. It is definitely worth looking into because I think these chairs would be great to use for that purpose. I love mine.

I am sure there are but wasn't a concern of mine since I don't allow my 3 year old to spark up a cigarette in bed. Also, it wasn't a concern of mine because I f there was a fire that close to the bed does it matter if this has a fire retardant or not? It is a soft foam and therefore made through a chemical process. If you are concerned about smell (either from the chemical application of fire retardant or the foam itself), there is a smell from this product for a couple days but dissipates quickly.

It's my understanding that Haba does not use flame retardants but honestly I can't be 100% certain. I did not directly ask the company before purchasing. If you do find out it meets your criteria I would definitely recommend this tent! The size is good (and tall enough for me to sit in it) and we've spent hours playing in it.

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 was wondering the same thing, and it looks like the answer is most likely yes. One reviewer mentioned that the same product is sold in ebay, and that product description states that there is an inch foam at the center and that the mattress meets California flame retardant bulletin.

Wool is a natural fire retardant. So no need for any fire retardant chemicals
