Each year 700 people die due to a mattress fire engulfing their room while they sleep. What’s worse is they don’t need to. Select Foam prevents mattress related deaths with the introduction of FIREBLOCKER technology in all of its mattresses.

FIREBLOCKER technology includes a treatment to the foam and a preventative Fire-Sock, fire-safe inner cover that ensures that the mattress won?t turn into an inferno while you?re sleeping.

Untreated mattresses can become engulfed in flames and reach flashover temperatures, high enough to set an entire room ablaze in 5 minutes. Once this occurs there is very little chance for survival.

FIREBLOCKER protects you by allowing you the time you need to get to safety. A Select Foam bed is not fire proof, but fire resistant. In the case of a house fire, it may just save your life. FIREBLOCKER is compliant with the TB603 fire code.

This is an example of standard, untreated mattress (top) and a mattress that has gone through a fire-resistant treatment process (bottom). The flame has been on these beds for equal lengths of time, with one bed engulfed in flames and the other mildly lit.
