Mattresses Without Synthetic Flame Retardants

Mattresses Without Synthetic Flame Retardants

(8 products) | Jump to Products ↓

Concern has grown over the use of fire retardants in upholstered furniture and mattresses for some time. With more media focus placed on the adverse health effects that some chemicals pose to us all daily, the one place where everyone seems focused on reducing harmful toxins is within the bedroom.

Unfortunately, in Canada, mattress makers and retailers are not required to disclose whether their mattresses have been treated with flame retardants. The biggest challenge is that most mattresses contain polyurethane foam, an extremely flammable material derived from petrochemicals.

Use caution when encountering mattress brands that advertise foams with soy or other natural oils. These are no less flammable, and using these natural oils in polyurethane foams has never been shown to reduce their toxicity.

In this category, we list mattresses that use only pure sheep's wool as a 100% natural fire barrier. Wool is an excellent way to avoid using synthetic flame retardants. Each mattress in this category is guaranteed to be free of any synthetic flame-retardant treatments of any kind.

  • Organic Kids Mattress

    The Best Children's Mattress

    We believe the best kids' mattress is made from breathable, temperature-regulating materials. We believe sheep's wool is the perfect material for this task. Wool is exceptionally good at regulating temperature and humidity. It is also proven to steady heart rate and help children settle faster than synthetic fibres.

    The sheep's wool in our mattresses is soft and gentle, ensuring it won't cause irritation or allergy issues. Sheep's wool is also a natural fire retardant, which means our wool mattresses aren't treated with chemical fire retardants.

    Every mattress from Berkeley Ergonomics, Harrison Spinks and t•masc (Obasan) features generous helpings of wool. Berkeley Ergonomics mattresses are also available in a vegan-friendly version upon special request, where the top wool quilt is replaced with linen fibre.

  • Natural Wool Bedding in Canada

    Why Choose Natural?

    We believe natural bedding, mattresses and textiles offer considerable advantages over their synthetic counterparts in several key areas:

    • Natural materials are more breathable
    • Natural materials are better at regulating temperature
    • Natural materials are superior at absorbing excess moisture (polyester only absorbs about 1% of its weight in moisture, while sheep's wool absorbs 30-40%)
    • The natural materials used in our bath towels & rugs, bedding and mattresses are non-toxic

    Natural vs. Organic

    "Natural" and "organic" have distinct meanings. These differences largely stem from marketing tactics. Organic certificates are not safety certificates. It is best to view all organic certificates as marketing, not health or safety.

    If organic certification is important to you, please view our organic mattress collection. t•masc mattresses are made in Canada, and all materials are entirely third-party certified organic.

    Mattress & Sleep Company recommends reading our guide on the truth about chemicals in mattresses. This in-depth article discusses several critically important topics and helps distinguish between fear-mongering, marketing, and genuine facts.

    Remember, everything is a chemical. Water is a chemical (H2O). There is no such thing as a chemical-free mattress, just as there is no such thing as a chemical-free anything.
