Disregarding the buzzword "hypoallergenic"&#157;, is this topper treated with any fire retardant chemicals?

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.'"

I wasn't sure so I got out the box. On the lid it states "Surgical Tape". It also states that it is Hypoallergenic. Hope this is the answer you were looking for.

I do know that it is lead and latex free. I do not recall seeing anything on or in the packaging about flame retardants. These have worked wonderfully for us, both at home and on vacation. I know use them on a full size bunk bed and its perfect. Just a note to self....always put them under your waterproof mattress cover instead of on top.

The material is comprised of vinyl and plastic components, thus I don't believe it could be fire retardant, but I suggest you to go through a further research to confirm it.

I don't think so. The tag just says it's all new material, surface washable, made of polyester fibers and plastic pellets and it's made in Indonesia. I would think it has NOT been treated with fire retardant. Just guessing though.

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.

They use Boric Acid as a flame retardant. It is in the product description.

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.

It does not indicate if the product is flame retardant, however, I feel confident that this could burn into flames. It is a well crafted item and it has good weight to it. Fairly easy to use with some assistance.

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.

Sorry I don't know. The topper doesn't have a label to check and I don't have the original packaging.

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

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.

I can't say absolutely but I know I couldn't use the pillow myself even though my grandson loves it because I have severe chemical allergies and I can smell a faint smell of something, not sure exactly what, but it would be enough to cause an allergic reaction should I sleep on the pillow. Whether it is a fire retardant or not, I couldn't say for sure.

It does not state that it is fire retardant. In my experience it would state that if it was and would far more costly.

I don't know. I don't see that info listed on the tag. It just says "This mattress meets the requirements of 16 CFR Part 1633 (federal flammability (open flame) standard for mattress sets) when used without a foundation." I don't have the packaging anymore... not sure if that even said anything about chemicals.
