A few questions for Budgy and/or anyone else who might know.

Are fire retardants required in Canada? Can you sell mattresses from Canada to the US?

Do "green" mattresses without fire retardants all require a doctor's prescription (except wool, naturally fire retardant)?

If you "had" to buy a mattress with a fire retardant, which type is the least toxic?

Thank you!

Budgy (or anyone else), do you know anything about the "silica" based fire retardants? What are they really (sand?) and are they possibly safer?

Thanks!
