Me too saw one with 4.5 rating price was under $200 everything checked out until I looked at the reviews it's all videos of fiberglass and fiberglass contamination. Didn't even know fiberglass would be in a mattress. Looked up fire retardant and rather just have a fire extinguisher. And just another heads up I've seen the gel and infused beds leak wouldn't buy it. I'm going to the mattress store, cuz I never had a problem there

@@crystaleward Thank you so much. I still haven't gotten a mattress. I don't trust foam mattresses. I want to sleep on natural breathable materials. I have this nagging thought that so many people are going to have health issues from memory foam. Every mattress seems to be made of the stuff or a hybrid. My mattress was probably one of the last of it's kind.

It doesn't just make little cuts on your skin, it gets in your lungs and damages your lungs. I knew a guy that worked at a company where they used fiberglass and he breathed it in the air daily. He developed lung problems and had to carry an oxygen tank around everywhere because he couldn't breath. Shortly afterwards he died because of the fiberglass ruining his lungs. I think the fiberglass fibers scarred his lungs and he couldn't breath.

Thats awful. It should be required by law that they suit up with a separate tank/oxygen source.

Is there a type of cover you can put around the foam mattress that will not leak out fiberglass?
@charlessmith263
@charlessmith263 8 ай бұрын
That type of fiberglass coming out of your mattress - those fiber shards or shrapnel - can be as equally bad as mold, and even more scary than lung-damaging asbestos fibers!!!! You touch the stuff and you can get awful skin irritation. Get that into the lungs, and it is difficult to get out, and you face permanent lung damage. But if any of them lands in places in your home or apartment, it can be nearly impossible to remove!! And just like that you are told to leave the house and you are homeless.

This has just happened to my daughters family! A damn shame! So concerned about the grandchildren. Our daughters eyes are swollen shut. The kids are having to stay with us until they can get everything cleaned... dryer is a complete lose. Fibers everywhere in an hour after removing cover. It had a zipper so who knew it couldn't be removed and washed. As a parent and grandparent this absolutely devastating! I feel so sorry for my daughter and son-law. What a mess!😡

Zinus memory foam mattresses, all have a fiberglass inner casing under the main cover, it's around all the memory foam for fire protection I guess. I also hear nectar mattresses have it inside they're mattresses too. Surprises nectar would make they're with it, zinus though is the cheaper mattress brand so I'm not surprised with them.

Ide taken thw cover off mine too, but luckily did it outside on my back porch, I had no idea, but now I'm freaking out grabbing the clothes I had worn while taking the cover off. Also wondering about my washer if it's destroyed my washer cus I can't imagine how to get the glass out of a washer, ill throw away my clothes,wtv but I don't want to wash anything else now that ide washed the cover in my washer. I did see the label saying do not remove, but I figured with the zipper...it was there to be able to remove to wash, why would they even make it possible to remove if it's never supposed to be removed..that makes no sense

I also had to get rid of my bed (the one with the fiber glass dust) and my sons bed was in my room I just tossed both. It’s a long stressful process I hope things getting better for u.
