Hi everyone! I just wanted to check as I couldn’t find anything online similar to my case. I was moving my mattress and the cover got caught on my bedroom door strike plate. As a result, the cover ripped slightly, and now there is a small tear and the filling is starting to poke out. I’ve included a picture for everyone’s reference.
Based on my research, it says that this mattress may have fiberglass, so you can imagine I have started to panic. I did all the checks, under the flashlight, checked my skin religiously, and didn’t see anything that resembled fiberglass. I taped over the hole with a ton of packing tape (no duct tape in the house currently). Based on the pictures, do you think this mattress is safe to continue using? I checked the mattress law tag and I didn’t see any fiberglass, glass wool, or glass fiber mentioned in the filling materials.
I believe i took all the necessary precautions, but my paranoia is getting the better of me. The filling is slightly sparkly/shimmering, but my understanding is that other filling materials may also be like this. I picked up one strand and it was curly/flexible, and didn’t seem brittle like my research suggests fiberglass is.
Apologies, this is a super long winded post all to ask: is this mattress safe to use? Should I get a new mattress? 😭 I don’t see anything fiberglass around, but am I opening myself up to a potential disaster by continuing to use this mattress?
Thank you so much everyone in advance!!
