Why does Layla use fiberglass in their mattresses?

Layla is a well-known brand of mattresses that adds fiberglass to its products. But do you think about why the brand uses fiberglass?

Layla is an American mattress brand. The law of the United States says that every mattress must include at least one fire-resistant component. This law is necessary for providing safety to mattress users because a fire on the mattress can increase the possibility of much destruction.

The US Consumer Product Safety Commission imposed a rule for consumers in 2007. The rule says that all mattresses must have enough flame retardant. This flammability standard for the mattress is necessary to reduce the fire risk. The mattress should withstand a two-foot-wide blowtorch flame for 70 seconds. Only fiberglass is the material that can fulfill all the criteria of the US Consumer Product Safety Commission’s rule.
