Fiberglass should be banned. My grandmother had fiberglass bedroom curtains hanging over our beds and my sister and had developed asthma really bad as kids. To this day my sister and I still battle with respiratory issues because of fiberglass in the curtains.

never removed my cover, always kept a mattress pad on top and we were lucky that we saw a story and saw the leaking under the bed before it got to the rest of our house. the covers do not hold up over time, do not buy a mattress with fiberglass

I get what they saying but their should be no zipper on it!

For anyone saying “just don’t remove the cover” it’s easy to say when it hasn’t happened to you. We assume that the items in our home, especially items that we’re sleeping on, are safe. When we see a zipper, we assume it’s safe to remove. In my case, the mattress label didn’t even mention fiberglass or say not to remove the cover. On top of that, a lot of the outer covers tend to be flimsy, so if you have cats or other animals that may scratch the outer cover, the fiberglass can escape that way as well. They also wear down over time, so if you don’t replace the mattress, the fiberglass will eventually escape. If you’re gonna buy a memory foam mattress, spend the extra money on a good fiberglass free brand. If you can’t afford it, skip the memory foam. Memory foam mattresses are tough to clean and maintain on top of often containing harmful chemicals, so I would suggest not buying one unless you can afford a trustworthy, top-notch brand.

Yep has nothing to do with removing the cover actually... I literally just found out I have one of these fiber glass mattresses and I've never removed the cover for mine. I remove and wash the bed sheets that I have on it. I used the light and noticed all these tiny little shimmering fibers all over my freakin bed sheets and covers. I had been having breathing issues for over a year and it only went away after I stopped sleeping on that mattress. It's a real shame more people don't know about this. I'm really annoyed that I was exposed to this bs for a year and had no idea.

Absolutely horrible situation! I feel terrible for this gentleman. I'm definitely getting a fiberglass free and probably an organic Mattress.

Why the hell is this even a thing

The cover doesn’t do anything over time. These leak fiberglass regardless.

Had this happen to me about 3 months ago. We had to throw out about $2,500 worth of stuff. Literally every piece of clothing my whole family owned. And all my daughter's stuffed animals. It doesn't sound that bad until you remember the washer and dryer. So even if you catch it after 1 day you're absolutely screwed. Still pissed I had to throw out all my Columbia fleeces and coats.

I have the same bed and one time I actually tried taking the cover but realized it had fiber glass and closed it back up and never messed with it , till this day the best bed I have ever had

I had no clue until now

I have dogs that scratch the bed so what if it gets accidentally torn just a big mess waiting to happen

I wish I would’ve seen this video right before I opened my new mattress. It has 50% fiber glass and idk what to do.

I have this mattress. Damn!

I wished I had known this before. Yesterday I removed the cover to wash it, and my whole apartment is full of fiber glass. I don't know what to do now to clean it.🤬

Bought a rope from ace hard ware, after 3 years it start to frills and disperse fiberglass all over my skin, when touched . So i put it out side then it got worst from the sun and even flung tiny fibre when its windy outside.

I had this mattress from way before, the intructions were different. It would say you could remove to wash the cover, they changed it afterwards after the incidents. Even when you never remove the cover it starts breaking down underneath and goes thru the cover I know from first hand experience. I Always check if it has fiberglass in it now. Never buying zinus cheap shit.

It's not just cheap mattresses. Tempur Sealy sent DMCA and legal threats because I shared quotes from them stating Stearns and Foster mattresses have glass fiber. 👍

My dog puked. I removed the cover on my "Polyurethane Foam" mattress. At least that's what I thought it was. I spot cleaned the mattress with a towel and vinegar. It felt funny. Soft. I put a fan on it to dry it. Went outside. Drank a cup of coffee and noticed the itching. Googled it. Realized what had happened. Went upstairs. Slowly replaced the cover shaking like a leaf. Ran air scrubbers. Threw out the couch. But it's everywhere. It's in everything. I'm rebuilding after a fire. I've lost my whole life twice. I thought to myself. Why get renters insurance. There's no point. I even bought air purifiers. My chest hurts. My hands itch. My poor little chihuahua. I will now lose everything. Luckily I may be moving. But I've literally lost my whole life. I'm disabled and can't clean up this mess. I feel broken and defeated. How dare you sell me an expensive couch Dorel Home Furnishing. Full of fiberglass. I bought this for my Grandson to come visit and just happened to sleep on it. It didn't hurt my back so I slept on it a few more nights. I can't believe this. My whole life is gone now. I may fail out of college. Lose my car. Why is this legal?

OMG 😳 My daughter it’s sick from that, the cough doesn’t go away.

Damn now I’m wondering what health problems I have had been caused by my nectar mattress !!!!!

Why would there be fiberglass in the bed? I just bought one and that was my concern. Do all memory foam beds come with fiberglass in it? And why

Id buy polyester fillers nextime or better yet natural rubber. Foam.

Silica fiber is in purple mattress and this is now in my lungs. I'm having issues due to this.

Why did they add fiberglass on the mattress anyway ? What's the function ?

Yep, bought a mattress without knowing it had finger glass in it. When I took off the cover to wash it and dry it boom, bunch of shinny little hairs flying around the laundry room. That’s when I knew, ended up getting rid of the mattress that’s same day.

I would never buy that mattress! Those fiberglass things are itchy and when they fly around you are done!

Did they ever fix this?

Oh shit. I removed and washed them....in the washer and dryer. Wth!!!! I'm itching like anything. Wtf is fiberglass in the mattress?!?

Uh so like is it just my family that checks to see in our mattress has fiber glass before we get em lmao we didn’t one time when I was younger and it was terrible never again always look what they are made of hell you might be allergic to one of the Materials used

Avoid close contact? Lol.. It's a bed

Someone taking you to the cleaners if they are going to charge you $25k USD to hepa vacuum... far out.

No it’s not I can prove ours was leaking everywhere our room is covered in it !!

4:37

I don't get it. Is it safer to make bed fire retardant?

so what is the problem exactly? they mentioned fiberglass is there in the inner cover and they said not to remove the cover but he did it?

When the label says "don't remove the cover" and you remove it, you can't hold them accountable. If you prove that it leaks through the cover regardless, then you can hold them accountable. Regardless, fiberglass should be banned from mattresses so as Urea-formaldehyde in manufactured wood but our sleepy representatives and regulators are sleeping with manufacturers we should do our own research on everything we buy.

Most people removed the Zipper cover,s if you never remove it how would you know if it's new are been returned ,are is there and tares ect 🙄

Summer Dash works for Wate 6 on your side. ABC

Get a mattress protector and use bed sheet. Wash those instead

No ifs FN not!!!!

Don't buy cheap mattresses at the same place you buy groceries or auto parts. This is why mattress stores exist and why most people spend more that $400 on a mattress.

Finerglass is in EVERY CIGARETTE EXPLAIN FUCKING THAT

The solution is… dont buy mattress made out of 70% fiberglass or with fiberglass for that matter.

Warnings are there for a reason my guy

Ill bet a lot of people that caught covid and also had these mattresses died...

This is why reading and comprehension is important.

Well duh read the instructions thoroughly always, also they sell covers for your mattress, that cover that comes on the mattress is what keeps it together Dum dums
