I'd be weary of this mattress.  It doesn't say that it's wrapped in wool, which means that it must use the normal flame-retardant chemicals.  If it didn't, you'd need an RX to buy it.

The Naturepedic isn't wrapped in wool and it's not treated with flame-retardant chemicals.  I haven't heard about needing an Rx for a mattress, can you share more info?

I emailed the L.A. Baby Co company to find out more about their fire protective barrier - I'm curious to see what they say.  

Here's what it says on the L.A. Baby Co website:

• Meets federal flammability standard 16CFR-1632 and FF4-72
• Meets all California Bureau of Home Furnishings Technical Bulletin 603
• Fire Barrier Passes all Federal and State flammability standards

Here's what Naturepedic says about cotton and flame retardance:

Fire Protection
Cotton does not burst into flames or release deadly fumes when ignited (as compared with polyurethane foam). Exclusive fire protection system features a non-toxic and naturally derived fire barrier system that is safe and effective. It meets and exceeds all Federal and State flammability standards without the use of potentially harmful chemicals.
