Are there any federal regulations in place for mattress manufacturers regarding flammability?
Yes. Two federal flammability standards apply to mattresses. The first, called 16 CFT Part 1632, requires that a mattress resist ignition from a smoldering heat source like a cigarette. The second, called 16 CFR Part 1633, requires that a mattress resist ignition from a small-flame heat sources, such as a match, lighter or candle.
