The Big List of Things That Suck - No.31 - FLAME RETARDANTS
Flame-retardants found in most mattresses have been linked to autism and ADD, among other things. Yet we find them in crib mattresses where infants sleep about 15 hours a day.
Where to find them: See that tag that says you can’t remove it under penalty of death? That means there’s a flame retardant in the mix.
Suck less: Yes, eco-friendly mattresses made from organic materials like wool or latex can be expensive. In lieu of a full-on mattress overhaul, get a thick organic mattress pad to reduce your exposure.
