Mattress Flame Retardants

boric acid

Quite often, visitors to my website are concerned about the fire retardants that are used in the futon mattresses they’re interested in.  And, it’s not really a surprise, chemicals used in the past (PBDE’s, etc) were very harsh and detrimental during long term exposures.  So, here’s a great link to a page on boric acid, a commonly used flame retardant on futon mattresses.   Check it out, and educate yourselves on what boric acid really is.
