Emergency room Made Mar 19, 2023, sent to the company Mar 23, 2023, published by CPSC Apr 14, 2023
The product, in the report: 2016 Tuft and Needle original mattress, queen size
On Tuesday, March14 I removed the cover of my 2016 Tuft and Needles mattress. The mattress said, cover not washable, do not remove, but it didn’t list any dangers and it had a zipper. I have two young sons (4.5 and 1) and I wanted to deep clean the mattress as the oldest has allergies and chronic night coughs. I remember reading on the T&N website that their mattresses do not contain fiberglass. I assumed it said don’t remove cause it might shrink in the wash but I was fine with trying.
I removed the cover, washed and dried and put it back on. I was with my young son most of the day. I carried him and he even slept on me that same afternoon. That night when going into the room I noticed shiny things on my bed frame. They were also on my comforter and bookshelf. I panicked and moved my older son and husband who were already asleep on that bed.
The next day my young son woke up with swollen red eyelids. :( I didn’t think of the fiberglass cause he slept in a different room. My mom took him to the doctor and they said he had pink eye as it’s been going around. She didn’t mention the fiberglass exposure. Later that day, while starting to clean, I realized he and I had the bulk of the exposure as our clothes were Covered in it! :( His sweatshirt was almost shinier than mine.
I talked to the company and they offered me a new mattress. I’m upset my baby son was exposed to this. I’m worried what adverse affects this could have with him and my older son who has allergies. (Update: on Thurs my oldest son started coughing and we took him to the ER on Saturday as he was coughing so much he was throwing up.)
We’re all staying with my mom while we slowly clean. The bulk of the fiberglass was in my bedroom. A little was tracked around the house. We had to throw out all my clothes and some of my husband’s as they were in drawers under my bed. We also got rid of our washer and dryer as they were Covered in fiberglass and kept shedding it. We have a list of all the things we had to throw out.

Hurt, no treatment Made Jul 3, 2022, sent to the company Jul 6, 2022, published by CPSC Jul 20, 2022
The product, in the report: Queen mattress - Original
Our Tuft and Needle Original mattress spread fiberglass all over our home. We unzipped the cover to spot clean as directed on the label. The label did not indicate that any part of the mattress contained fiberglass, however the fire sock under the cover consists of a type of fiberglass that easily spreads once the mattress is unzipped. Using a flashlight we saw hundreds of tiny shards all over the nearby furniture , bedding, clothes, our toddler’s toys, and almost every surface in the room. There were also shards all over the house including in our toddler’s room that had spread in the time between when we unzipped the cover and when we realized what had happened. In the weeks since this occurred we have had itchy skin and are concerned about long term effects of breathing the fiberglass dust from our bedding and clothes. It has taken us over 60 hours to vacuum and wipe down all the affected surfaces. We tried to launder our clothes separately as directed by the company, however we had to throw out many items as they were too contaminated to clean effectively. The company had our old mattress removed and is sending us a replacement of a newer product that does not contain fiberglass. We feel lucky to have found the contamination relatively early and limit the spread and hope this doesn’t happen to anyone else .
