This can make you wonder whether it even has any links to the number of unexplained cot deaths many parents experience. You wouldn't think anything could ever happen to a baby that's comfortably tucked in their cot at night...only to find them limp and cold in the morning!...I bet it's these toxic mattresses!!

In Texas there is only 1 store to buy organic matresses . Matress Firm sells matresses that caused their workers cancer . Seally makes POISONOUS matresses .

Wrap your mattress in a food grade plastic to prevent these chemicals from getting into your body and breathing space. The cheapest solution around! Google "food grade mattress wrap"

Yeah, I was thinking about making a new bed myself out of cotton and a safe fabric to pull it all together.

I have chemical sensitivity because of a new Sealy Meadowcrest mattress. I developed bronchitis and had to eliminate the mattress but I am stuck with Mcs(Multiple chemical sensitivity) and there is no medicine for it, only avoidance and I use supplements taking the holistic approach. No one knows if it will end successfully or at all..... Organic doesn't mean safe as I react to wool and organic cotton. I made a bed of a standard cotton cover and polyester batting.

"no one's eating their mattress" stupid you don't have to ingest poison to be poisoned, there are other ways of getting something inside your body than just ingestion. Poison can be absorbed through the skin! (Helllooo, think of the jellyfish! All it has to do to poison you is "touch" you. You don't have to fuckin ingest it or nuthin". That shit just touches you & you're poisoned.

Has anyone heard of wool mattresses?

They are awsome; totally natural and naturally flame retardant. I'm going to get one soon! But at the very least, get yourself (especially your children) a wool pillow. You're planting your face in chemicals and suck'n em up all night with most pillows!

Sure... just like they never passed a rule for lead paint and Asbestos?

This is a robbery of freedom!!! I should be allowed to choose what mattress I use. Why is this mandatory?

where theres smoke theres fire , there clearly is a problem . All these people don't stand up for no reason at all . I can't stand the obvious subversion to sell more mattresses . More reason for Govt to not be in control of mandating so much stuff . Trying to save 100 lives a year is noble , harming all of us to do it is retarded , and like they say who knows the long term affect ... This angers me Govt forces cars to be lighter and it gets us killed in wrecks , can't stand the govt

the only way to get a non- flame retardent mattress is a dr note. they run between $300 to $7000.
