Aren there existing standards regulating mattress flammability?
The highly-effective federal cigarette-ignition standard has been in place since the early 1970s. The new standard builds upon its success and takes product safety one step further by addressing mattress fires ignited by open-flame heat sources (e.g. lighters, matches, and candles). The new open-flame mattress standard closely resembles a similar standard implemented in 2005 in California.
