About VersaShield
VersaShield Fire Barrier Fabric is a coated substrate product with unique fire-resistant qualities.

Are there other current fire barrier protection methods?

Until now, many have believed the only cost-effective way to meet the fire barrier requirements of the upcoming mattress codes is to add fire-retardant chemicals to existing components. However, the addition of fire-retardant chemicals can make a mattress less comfortable, plus most customers don't like the thought of chemicals next to their body when they sleep.

What makes VersaShield an affordable, more effective option?

With VersaShield, you can produce mattress products that offer excellent fire protection without changing fabrics, altering your production methods or other components of the mattress itself.

How easy is it to use VersaShield?

Normally, just insert it at the second or third layer. It will work with any conventional ticking.

How effective is VersaShield?

VersaShield easily passes the TB 129, TB 603 and UK 6807 tests for resistance to open flame. In fact, flames consumed a control mattress without VersaShield in less than three minutes, while the mattress with VersaShield withstood 60 minutes of continuous exposure to direct flames and did not flashover.
