Analysis of Beautyrest Harmony Lux Seaqual fabric, FlameGuard barrier, and fiberglass-free construction.
Beautyrest Harmony Lux mattresses do not contain fiberglass. Serta Simmons Bedding (SSB) utilizes a proprietary non-woven flame barrier composed of cellulosic wood-pulp rayon fibers blended with polyester and treated with water-soluble mineral salts. Under CPSC 16 CFR Part 1633 open flame testing, this barrier creates an impenetrable char matrix that prevents flame propagation into the pocketed coil and memory foam layers.
Barrier utilizes an inherently flame-resistant cellulosic rayon and poly fiber blend.
Features Seaqual sustainable ocean plastics in ticking without glass fibers.
Certified fully compliant with CPSC 16 CFR Part 1633 without chemical retardants.
