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.

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.

I don't know and product details don't mention anything about being flame retardant. I would assume most furniture and accessories in a nursery are not flame retardant, only their pajamas. I bought this because it fits the IKEA changing table. Summer Infant ones mention being chemically free, but not sure if that is related to flame retardants.

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.

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.

Yes But it is not fire retardant. Some fairs require that it be fire retardant. Very durable and cleans up well.

Hello, We do apologize, the only information we have from the manufacturer is that this contains CA117 Fire Retardant Foam. If you need anything else, please let us know. Thank you.

This thing is pure synthetic material I'm not sure I understand your question! it's all about chemicals here --- nothing about polyester is fire retardant ---- this is pure plastic at it's finest and yes I've checked it burns quite happily so (no fire retarding processes here)

As far as I know. Yes. Mine is fire retardant and the description on this product says it is fire retardant. I love the product. I use it for my little dog to keep her from falling out of bed.

Just wanted to mention: PBDE is NOT the only chemical flame retardant. The fact that the email quoted below does not state that Oeuf pads are free of TDCPP or other known carcinogens, when combined with the fact that they contain urethane foam, means they probably do contain flame retardants.

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

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

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.

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!

There is no plastic. It's 100% cotton flannel. I think it's waterproof because it's so tightly woven. It says nothing on the label about fire retardant chemicals. It is made in China, however.
