Debra’s Answer
I believe that this is incorrect. I personally know some manufacturers of organic mattress and they put no chemical flame retardants in their mattresses. Wool needs no chemicals to be naturally flame retardant.
I think they don’t understand. Not only are no chemical flame retardants used in organic mattresses, but cotton is not used as a flame barrier, as they say.
Now, I haven’t looked at every organic mattress on the market, I’m sure, but the ones I am familiar with do not have flame retardant chemicals.
