In an earlier answer, the seller said the cover is "inherently inflammable." Inflammable & flammable mean the same thing. Please say this is a typo.

Jessica,Good point. I think this is a typo. Probably the person writing the text, just didn't realize the mistake. This is a top quality, well made bed. I believe, you'll be pleased with your purchase. I've had the bed for about 4 months, and it's still very comfortable I looked at various beds like futons etc, and although this bed is more money, it's worth it. Michael.

From the company's website: "Our fire barrier is rayon cellulose fiber blended with fine-grained sand and a small amount of polyester which, in combination, are inherently fire resistant. Tested and verified by an accredited lab to fully comply with flammability standards."

The bottle doesn't say that it is flammable, however it says to use it in a well ventilated area. It is a 32 ounce bottle so it has to be packed. It would be a bummer if it leaked in your case. I would contact the manufacturer to make sure.

It lists fabric as one of the surfaces it is good for, but not particular composition or type. If you are thinking about a costume; this is extremely flammable -- avoid heat, sparks & open flame. I just wanted you to take that into consideration.

Hi Eric, good catch. That is indeed a typo. The shipping weight of this item is around 77lbs, which includes the item and the packaging. Thanks for bringing that to our attention!

Interesting that folks are saying it is not fire- or waterproof when the manufacturer's description on the Amazon sales page says it is!

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.

Fire retardants are so commonly used in furnishings that I'd suggest asking the manufacturer to be sure. If chemicals are present, with more and more people concerned about chemical exposure, they may not note it on the packaging lest it reduce sales. I subsequently found this answer in this thread: "I emailed Luna, who responded with this quote 'Our protectors are not treated with anything at all.'"

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).

I have not actually folded mine while it was on, so I can't speak to that situation. The cover on it is pretty thick compared to cheaper pads, so it seems less likely to catch fire.

Hello. As with any cover, overheating is an inherent problem. I have this product and use it when traveling. At home, I remove the cover to allow heat dissipation of the laptop.

Hi Karen what I can tell you about the cover is that when I received it, my kindle didn't fit into the cover. Bottom line, what was advertised and what I received were two different items. I returned the cover.

I think that M. Brown is correct but I doubt that the manufacturer would recommend it themselves because of the liability. There would be inherent danger from setting any kind of a moveable open flame burner on a counter top, so you would want to use extreme caution, especially around children or pets. We are used to making sure that there are no flammable objects like towels or paper around our regular stove, but with a unit like this you would need to be especially thoughtful about placement and conscientious when cooking. If I needed to use mine indoors I would not hesitate to do so myself, but I would stay right there with it. I think that M.

The bottom of the package says: "this product conforms to the Standard for Flammability of Clothing Textiles under the flammable fabrics act. Hope this helps

There is a tag attached which states "Only the resilient filling materials contained in this article meet CalIfornia Bureau of Home Furnishings flammability requirements. Care should be exercised near open flame or with burning cigarettes".

Yes, it is hot, even with the cover that it came with. I find myself tossing a turning at night because I overheat on the "bottom side."

I don't know but I'm not sure its relevant from the standpoint of functionality. It is very well made, durable and cleans up well in the washer in cold water, gentle cycle. I am very pleased with this cover and recommend it.

I don't know. I don't think I would want to risk exposure to the heat regardless of the cover.
