What is fiberglass?
Fiberglass is a fiber-reinforced plastic made of a woven material embedded with glass fibers. Fiberglass can be valuable for some uses due to its high melting point, corrosion resistance, and insulating properties.
Common uses for fiberglass include aircraft bodies, windows, roofing, boats, and bathtubs.
But in the mattress market, fiberglass has some real disadvantages, especially when / if it starts escaping from the mattress.
Fiberglass can be used in small strands or even a powder-like substance that can become airborne. Once outside the mattress, it can cause skin or eye irritation, allergies, and dangerous potential for hazardous inhalation.
Why do mattresses use fiberglass?
Mattress companies use fiberglass within their mattress because it is an inexpensive method to achieve required fire resistance ratings.
United States federal regulations require that mattresses meet flammability standards. The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) 16 CFR 1632 and 1633 sets the specific rules for the tests and the standards to which mattresses must adhere to.
In most cases, the use of fiberglass is only used as a fire retardant within an enclosed cover. Many companies (even those that use fiberglass) still enclose the material within other layers or make the fibers otherwise less accessible to sleepers.
