| Paying the Ultimate Price for an Inferior Mattress |
|
| In 2008 in the United States alone, at least 1 person on average died every day of the year in a mattress fire. Another 3 people on average were injured due to a mattress fire engulfing their room while they slept. In as little as five minutes, an untreated mattress can become engulfed in flames and reach temperatures high enough to set an entire room ablaze, leaving little chance for survival. |

| One of the Best Items you can Invest in is a Quality Mattress |
|
| All Plushbeds™ memory foam mattresses are treated with PlushGuard™, our proprietary, non-bromated (no boric acid), no PBDE (Polybrominated diphenyl ethers) fire retardant additive which is safe to sleep on while exceeding the new fire-retardant standards 16 CFR Part 1633. Mattresses & foundations that meet the new fire retardant standards are not fireproof, but are constructed to be more resistant to open flame ignition (matches, lighters, candles, etc.) and to slow the progression of a fire. This delay is critical because it allows people more time to escape the premises. |

| CPSC Flammability Standard - 16 CFR Part 1633 |
|
| While all mattresses manufactured on or after July 1, 2007 for sale in the US must meet the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's (CPSC) flammability standard, it has been difficult to police overseas and foreign activity, leaving some customers in doubt if their great internet sale or generic foam mattress will expose their family to unthinkable risks. |

| An Eye Opening Exercise |
|
| Take just 2 minutes and see how quickly a small flame can engulf a mattress in a test performed at the US Building and Fire Research Laboratory of the ignition of a mattress that is not protected by a fire retardant. Time is in seconds from ignition. |
