Does IKEA use flame retardants?
In Australia, added chemical retardants are not used, and mattresses purchased in the AU market comply with the Australian standards.
The IKEA approach to chemicals is to only add them if necessary. IKEA strive to totally refrain from the use of chemical flame retardants in our products and instead use techniques and materials with flame retard-ant properties e.g. wool.
However, in some countries, chemical flame retardants are needed in specific products in order to pass a local legal requirement. The products treated with chemical flame retardants need to fulfil strict emission requirements as well for all flame retardants added to the product.
