FlameBreaker™
When it comes to bedroom fires, a moment or two can mean the difference between life and death. Thousands of innocent people are killed or severly injured
from bedroom fires each year. Sadly, children comprise the majority of these casualties.
The primary filling material used in nearly all baby mattresses today is polyurethane foam. Polyurethane foam is highly flammable because it is essentially a petroleum
product. In order to combat this hazard and pass Federal and State flammability standards, polyurethane foam is typically treated with harsh industrial
fire retardant chemicals. These chemicals introduce other health and toxicity issues. Some of these chemicals have already been associated with thyroid and liver damage, hyperactivity,
and changes in motor behavior and other brain functions. These chemicals typically constitute 10-30% of the foam by weight and can easily become airborne.
At NaturePedic, we take a different approach. Cotton is a far superior filling material and is significantly less flammable to begin with. Our exclusive
FlameBreaker™ non-toxic fire barrier system is based on baking soda’s unique fire retardant properties and provides unparalleled protection against the spread of fire,
without the use of harsh industrial and potentially harmful fire retardant chemicals.
It not only passes current Federal and State flammability standards, but already passes stricter
Federal legislation that goes into effect July 2007. With FlameBreaker™ fire protection, you can be confident that your mattress will not go up in flames or release deadly
fumes as compared to petroleum based mattresses.
