Fiberglass is a popular composite material to reduce mattress flammability, made with glass-reinforced plastic. But while it delivers flame protection, that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s entirely free of hazards for consumers.<\/p>\n

In our research, we\u2019ve found that while fiberglass is harmless enough tucked away into an inner cover, it can wreck havoc on the home and body if the mattress cover fabric wears down enough to let the fiberglass material leak through.<\/p>\n

When disposing of a mattress with a fiberglass leak, check the regulations in your area and consider options like mattress recycling centers or scheduling a bulk pickup with your local waste management agency. Some retailers may also offer a pickup service for old mattresses when purchasing a new one.<\/p>\n

It’s important to be aware of the potential health risks associated with fiberglass exposure. Fiberglass particles can cause skin irritation, eye and respiratory tract irritation, and in some cases, may even lead to more severe respiratory issues. While the risks are generally low, it’s crucial to handle fiberglass with caution and take the necessary safety measures during the cleaning process.<\/p>\n
