16 CFR Part 1633
Comprehensive law tag analysis and fire barrier test of Serta Perfect Sleeper FireBlocker technology.
The Serta Perfect Sleeper does not contain fiberglass. Serta uses its proprietary FireBlocker system, which consists of an engineered blend of natural cellulosic and synthetic fibers (rayon, polyester, and modacrylic). In CPSC 16 CFR Part 1633 testing, FireBlocker fibers swell and carbonize upon heat exposure, creating an airtight thermal shield that starves fire of oxygen without shedding crystalline mineral glass fibers.
FireBlocker barrier consists of cellulosic rayon, polyester, and modacrylic fibers.
Contains zero hazardous continuous-filament glass fiber or crystalline silica.
Certified under CertiPUR-US guidelines for low VOC emissions and foam safety.

Checklist
Step-by-step physical inspection procedure for flame barrier integrity and law label compliance.
Find the white Tyvek tag stitched into the lower binding at the foot of the bed.
Watch for: Never tear off the permanent statutory bedding label.
Confirm that all materials are listed as all-new cellulosic and synthetic fibers.
Watch for: Never wash the quilted mattress topper in household laundry machines.
Inspect tape-edge stitching along all four corners for secure thread tension.
Watch for: Avoid pulling loose threads that could unravel perimeter seams.
