I find it hard to imagine that sheets are fireproof. The same with like say 99 percent of any type of bedding. And no I do not believe that it is fireproof. I do know that it is hypoallergenic and that it is also comfortable and I have had little to no issue or concern with dust mites. Sorry; but I will not test out what will happen with the mattress cover if it is around fire; but I do believe that as long as you are using it properly (and yes that means even with heated blankets) that it will not cause a fire or be the cause of a fire.

I have a sheet cover and egg crate pad and have no issue with it catching on fire.

There is no fire insulation. It is metal, but not intended to be fireproof.

my packaging states that it is 100% cotton flannel and water resistant. It does not address fire retardant.

It does not state that it is fire retardant. In my experience it would state that if it was and would far more costly.

In order to answer that one would have to ask what kind of fire/flame would this mattress be exposed to? Most foam mattresses melt under heat then go to another state depending on the degree of heat. Of all the flammable objects that are in and around your room one would have to ask what fire scenario are you thinking about? Let me know so that one can give you a better answer or check with the manufacturer!

If he is able to sit in a chair and use his legs, would be great. If they could put in on a table and he could sit at the table and use his arms. The nursing home might like it so much that they would buy some for other patients. The one problem is that it weighs 25 pounds. Good luck to your dad.

It needs a good wiping inside, every now and then, to get the dust and some lint out. You better be able to reach it with a step ladder, to be safe. A buildup of very hot lint could cause a fire.

It's fiberglass (the stuff used to make prefabricated showers) woven into a fabric instead of being pressed. It can be burned but if remover from a flame it stops burn making it a fire retardant. You could in theory inhale dust from it( which wouldn't be anymore harmful then allot of natural dusts) I don't see the dust being small enough to go through the cover though or it "out gassing" (fiberglass does smell, but only when being molded) If you have a mattress protected on I see no reason for it to do any harm.

If it runs hot by all means keep anything flammable, drapes,Away and dont leave it own while not present....Our fire dept tests fans and advises

I don't think it intends to be fire-retardant, but I didn't look real hard to see if it was. Being as its mostly metal though, it could have some resistance to fire. Still, I'd say no to your question.

Sure, if you have enough room. Always be careful when using fire indoors, even in a fireplace. Holes in the carpet from cinders is bad news, but a burning house is really a bad time.

The mattress IS foam. The tag says, This mattress meets the requirements of 16 CRF Part 1633 (federal flammability (open flame) standard for mattress sets) when used WITHOUT a foundation. THIS MATTRESS IS INTENDED TO BE USED WITHOUT A FOUNDATION

No. The safe is not fire resistant and will not protect enclosed item if in a fire.

The fabric is not fireproof. I would be cautious about placing it over a fire pit even if you plan on keeping the fire small. The chances of something happening just isn't worth it in my book.
