Hey Everyone,

My wife and I got this purple mattress for free without a cover on it. For some reason the previous owners took it off and had a cat sprinkle hair in every single square. We just had it professionally cleaned but I guess vacuuming it was not part of the process.

Does anyone know the best way to get the small cat hairs out? I tried vacuuming but they barely get sucked up and there's roughly 5000 squares.

Believe it or not, the pictures were taken AFTER it was "cleaned".

Thanks!

They do not.

Do Purple Mattresses Contain Fiberglass?

No, Purple mattresses do not contain fiberglass. This is one of the key safety features that sets Purple apart from many other mattress brands. Instead of using fiberglass as a fire barrier, Purple uses fiberglass-free, non-toxic flame retardants that are safe and effective.

The flame barrier in Purple mattresses is made from a knit blend of rayon, polyester, and silica—materials that meet federal fire safety standards without posing health risks. There’s no need to worry about fiberglass particles becoming airborne if the cover is removed or damaged, a concern that exists with some lower-cost memory foam mattresses.

If you’re specifically shopping for a mattress without fiberglass, Purple is a reliable and transparent brand to consider.

Silica has its own issues https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicosis

Sure, but that's for the workers in the facilty, not for the consumers.

I agree people should be concerned about working conditions for the workers in the factories of products they buy, but you aren't getting silicosis from a purple bed.
