Hi Louise,
 
Thanks for contacting us regarding the fire retardants used within the Origins Range of mattresses.
 
All of our mattresses have been tested and approved as being compliant under BS 5852: 1982 Part ll and BS7177.  Our beds have the following fire retardant application :-
 

 

All UK beds must have a fire-retardant layer or component, whether it is contained within the foam mix, sprayed on afterwards, mixed via graphite in Latex or a fire retardant cover i.e. wool or synthetic. This is to comply with British regulations (BS 5852: 1982 Part II & BS 7177). 
 

The Origins Range of mattresses have covers which contain phosphorus and nitrogen which is much better than the usual formaldehyde which can irritate eyes nose and throat.
 

 
Can you buy a Mattress free from fire retardant in the UK?
 

If we are able to assist you further with regard to any of our mattresses, why not give our friendly team a call on 0161 437 4419 where we can collate specific information from you in order to purchase the perfect mattress from us.
 
Regards Julie
