IKEA Chemical Restrictions and Product Safety Standards (IOS-MAT-0010)
IKEA Specification
IKEA Mattress Fiberglass & Chemical Flame Policy
Investigation into IKEA global chemical restrictions, fiberglass bans, and polyester-viscose fire barrier standards.
100% Fiberglass-Free Policy
Direct answer summary
IKEA enforces a strict global chemical restriction policy across all its mattresses sold worldwide, including the United States. Under IKEA Chemical Specification IOS-MAT-0010, the company strictly prohibits the use of fiberglass, glass fibers, halogenated flame retardants, antimony compounds, and fluorinated chemicals (PFAS). IKEA mattresses satisfy CPSC 16 CFR Part 1633 using inherently flame-resistant polyester and modacrylic/rayon char barriers.
Key points
Strictly bans fiberglass, glass fiber yarns, and all halogenated flame retardants.
Complies with CPSC 16 CFR Part 1633 using non-toxic polyester and cellulosic charring barriers.
Meets strict European Union REACH standards and OEKO-TEX Standard 100 requirements.

Checklist
Consumer Safety & Chemical Verification Protocol
Step-by-step physical inspection procedure for flame barrier integrity and law label compliance.
- 01
Read IKEA Legal Label
Confirm the white tag specifies 100% polyester filling without glass fiber.
Watch for: Never machine wash the cover unless the care label explicitly permits it.
- 02
Verify Roll-Pack Recovery
