Fire Retardants are not a legal requirement

I am not sure where this came from. It may have been the case in the past, although I doubt it. More likely -- businesses got sued for making cheap plastic childrens' sleepwear and mattresses that went up in flames, and, the cheapest way to fix that may be to soak the fabric in Tetrabromobisphenol A.

If anything, there is legislation to remove flame retardants from sleepware and mattresses!

If you email a mattressmaker asking them to do something that they can't, their customer rep in India will probably tell you it's government regulation.

That aside, congratulations -- you made a mattress!
