Tens of thousands of people are calling on U.S. regulators to act—because the mattress you sleep on every night may be quietly poisoning you. Common materials like petroleum-based foam and chemical flame retardants are allegedly leaching toxic gasses while we sleep, and research shows body warmth can make this off-gassing even worse—especially for babies and children.
These substances include volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and phthalates, which have been linked to serious health issues like asthma, hormonal disruption, obesity, cancer, and even premature death. According to scientists, just lying in bed could expose children to these toxins at a dangerous rate.
It’s outrageous that corporations are still allowed to use these chemicals in products we spend a third of our lives on. Enough is enough.
Sign the petition now to demand U.S. federal agencies ban these toxic substances from all mattresses. Sign now to help protect future generations.
