I think more testing needs to be done. They just should have did it before they started mandating that all mattresses had to pass fire laws to protect us. Problem is many of the foams you speak about and the fire barriers that are put into mattresses off gas harmful chemicals. Here's a blog on the topic.

You see, the poly is a very dense foam material that can easily be damaged if you were to remove the liner from it. I know this first hand, because I unfortunately did just that, only to wash it... Unbeknown to me, was the mattress's sensitivity. So, by the time the liner was washed & dried & ready to place back over the mattress, strange enough, it folded over like a taco & split right in two. Fortunate for me, my mom sells these for a living & was able to get me a replacement @ cost. I'm not saying that this would happen to you...it's just advice for your mattress's future. Also, I asked my mom about the possible health issues & got the reply that it's more over hearsay than anything else...Or at least she's never heard of any actual claims in her 22 years of selling mattresses. I wish you the very best of luck with these mattresses & have a happy, safe New Year!!!<br><b>References : </b><br>Once owned this type of mattress...
