Waterbed/was Re: mattress question

[Guest guest]

Well we are of course using 100% cotton sheets and only pajamas that

are labeled as " wear snug fitting-not flame retardent " . I do need to

replace her pillows as I have seen the " natural " or " allergy " ones at

several different stores.

When you say you found antimony in lots of other places - how did you

test for it? Is there a kit for this similar to the lead kit? I

wonder if leather furniture contains flame retardent also?

Thanks for the info, Jan.
