Your Mattress Can Ruin Precious Belongings

Does your child have a special toy that means the world to them? Is it soft? Can they not sleep without it? If you answered yes to any of these questions then you need to go check the components of your mattress because fiberglass could contaminate your home ruining precious belongings.

Fiberglass is a common component in mattresses these days, due to its fire-retardant properties. However, many consumers’ homes become contaminated with fiberglass, due to what we believe to be design flaws. 

Fiberglass is small pieces of glass that are almost invisible to the naked eye. It might look like glitter covering your home and belongings, including your child’s favorite toys.

What are the health concerns?

Exposure to fiberglass can be hazardous to your health.

Common damage Fiberglass causes include:

  • Rashes on skin
  • Eye irritation
  • Soreness of the nose and throat
  • Stomach irritation
  • Bronchitis and Asthma from long term exposure
