How is the Smart Sik duvet fire retardant -- has the fabric been treated and if so with what chemical?
1061278
The cover is 100% cotton and with washing has a very nice 'hand'. Not stiff and scratchy. According to the Smart Silk web site, their duvets are fire retardant, but they do not say if the fabric has been treated or with what. Be aware that silk burns slowly and is difficult to ignite and may self-extinguish. However, if you are concerned about this issue, I suggest that you contact the company directly for more information.

I did not see any info where it contained flame retardants. It is 100% polyester... Used to refill doggie beds where the original material had mashed flat. Still supportive and being enjoyed by my dogs after a year+. I have an additional box that I will use to give new life to flattened decorative pillows.

It's more firm than soft. No idea about the flame retardant but I doubt it since it is machine washable.

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.

I talked with a sales rep from Sleep EZ and he told me that the mattress cover is made with an organic cotton knit material. He also told me that they use 1/4 inch of rayon as a fire retardant on each side and include 1 inch of soy foam under the cover on each side for a plush feeling. He also told me that the firm side of the mattress consists of 4 inches of Dunlop natural latex with a 40 ILD rating and the medium firm side consists of 3 inches of Dunlop latex with a 26 ILD rating. The company now has a label on each side of the mattress to identify which side of the mattress is firm and which side is medium firm I talked with a sales rep from Sleep EZ and he told me that the mattress cover is made with an organic cotton knit material.

It is made of cloth. I do not see a flame retardant tag on it. I use it around my glass coffee table for when my grandson is over. It velcros on very easily. I am happy with the product.

I have no idea - I purchased it for use on the fabrics that I use to decorate my booth at art fairs. It made the fabric stiff, chalky and unusable, so this particular product is not for use on fabrics. I learned later that there is a different fire retardant for fabrics. Your best source of information would be your local fire marshall

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.

Tasha, I also cannot confirm if the blanket has been treated. I can say it is the best blanket I have ever had. It had no odor and was very soft and comfortable straight from the package. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.

I cannot technically answer that, but I will tell you my five-year-old grandson took a barbeque lighter and tried to set it on fire in two spots. Thankfully, it only smoldered and made two holes (not all the way through) in the fabric, so I would guess it fortunately has some flame retardant.

Neither of the other two answers even pretended to answer the question. Apparently the company indicates it's food-grade polyurethane. You can buy fabric coated with a layer of polyurethane, making it waterproof, for like 10 dollars a yard.

Don't know, but I doubt it. it is a very similar material to other fleece pajamas. I have never heard of children's pajamas being treated with flame retardants, but maybe I am out of the loop. Would contact the manufacturer if I were you. Good luck!

Hello, and thank you for your question about the Close and Secure Sleeper! This item does not have flame retardants.

I just checked out the Magic Bumper's website and it says "made of fire retardant polyurethane upholstery foam".

On the tag it states 100% polyester and that it meets the flammable requirements of California law. I'm not sure if that answers your question but that's all I could find. Try contacting the manufacturer, I've heard that their customer service is easy to deal with.

I was wondering the same thing. I purchased one over a year ago and just recently learned about all the fire retardants in infant clothing and bedding. I contacted Serta and here was their response: Thank you for contacting Serta. We are glad that you took the time to email us and appreciate the opportunity to respond. Serta manufactures mattresses and foundations. We license independently owned companies to make many types of furniture and bedding accessories using the Serta brand name. For assistance with this matter, please check the manufacturing law tag that is attached to your product and contact the manufacturer directly. The manufacturer contact information is listed below: La Jobi Industries - (888) 266-2848, (609) 409-2495, www.lajobi.com, or email: bcurran@lajobi.com I am disappointed that they don't have more information--or that they are choosing to withhold the information--about a product sold under their name. I'll email the company mentioned and post what I find out.

I've only had mine for 5 months and washed it once, but nothing yet. I've also had another duvet that was micro fiber and it never did like my micro fiber sheets even after many washes. Hope that helps!
