Are there flame retardents in the mattress? It says it passes all requirements, so it sounds like it must.

Yes, I believe so. However it does not specifically mention it. My now three year old has been sleeping on it since he was 8 months old and it is in perfect condition. Still firm and very high quality. Great mattress!

I'm sure it passes whatever it needs to in order to be sold. I'd look up the company directly if you're unsure. I'm very happy with this product

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

I wish they would make it obvious to potential buyers, because I am trying to figure out the same thing! I am guessing it does because the description states "It meets all federal and state mattress regulations."

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.

No. You'd need to get a zipper type enclosure around the whole mattress that allows air out but not chemicals. Something like a BabeSafe Cover (google it) would protect from off gassing.

Hi. I'm writing from Naturepedic. N. Barra's response is correct. To prevent off-gassing from a chemical-laden mattress, you need to completely seal it - so no air gets through at all.

I do not have that problem I had my mattress custom made. It fits perfectly.

I never,never ,never, ever had any issue with the off gassing. Not once did we smell any type of odor at all. That was one of the first things I mentioned in my review. I don't know about anyone else, but our bed was sound. Until this day this mattress has held up fresh as the day we got it.

I am pretty hot natured, but I haven't noticed any problem. We love this mattress.

I just received a full mattress and other than a non-offensive and subtle "new" smell while unpacking it did not have any of the unpleasant odor that people have described. Mine came with a cover zippered on it, and I wonder if that might have perhaps reduced any chemical scent?

Yes that is what I did. There wasn't an odor but the mattress was a little crooked because it hadn't fully expanded.

I would assume if room was a proper temperature, shouldn't be a problem. Also, mattress buffers. Of course, if in a basement or cold room, could be an issue, I guess.

No it does not. Also an issue that came up over using this is a squeak in the bars rectified by a bit of wd40 not and then. The bed is great for ppl with GERD as they can elevate half the bed. That combined with a 10" foam mattress equals. Zzzzzzzz

Mine does. Trying to drop the flame snuffer is a small challenge though. I love mine.

I'm thinking it's the law. Anything that is intended for children to sleep in has to have fire retardants....From the tag: "This article meets all flammability requirements of the California Bureau of Home Furnishing bulletin 116 and 117." An additional tag says, "Only the resilient filling material meets (these requirements)" and both caution against using near fires and cigarettes.

No. We did not have that issue. Maybe it is overheating slightly, and off-gassing since it is new. I find that a lot with new plastic goods/furniture. If it lasts for more than a few days, I'd be concerned.
