Question from PRJ
We’re shopping for a Queen size chemical-free mattress. We are a bit dismayed by the expense of them, but moreso because we don’t live near any chemical-free mattress or futon producer to actually try-before-you buy! I see that Simmons mattresses are produced with “SIMGARD”, a kevlar-based material as the fire retardant. Do you have any opinions or feedback on Simgard mattresses? Do they still contain other unhealthy fire retardants? Many many thanks for guidance.
Debra’s Answer
I can’t recommend any synthetic mattress, regardless of the fire retardant. Synthetic mattresses contain so many toxic chemicals, it’s not a matter of just looking at the fire retardants. Please get a natural mattress.
