According to Zinus, it does not (at least not the current version being sold). Earlier versions of this mattress did contain fiberglass and Zinus was sued in US Federal Court over claims related to fiberglass exposure and harm.
I'm deciding between the zinus 6 inch for our camping trailer or the Milliard Deluxe folding mattress 6 inch (as we need a 30 or 31 by 75 narrow twin. Out of the two what would you recommend? Or a different product? Or maybe cutting a queen foam mattress in half?
I wouldn't recommend Zinus in really any situation. Milliard is a brand I'm unfamiliar with. Instead, I would recommend the 6" Dreamfoam Essential - naplab.com/go/dreamfoam-essential-mattress
Is this the "fiberglass free" version? if so, can you post a photo of the materials tag? or at the very least comment back what it lists as the FR sock? Thank you so much!!
According to Zinus it is fiberglass free. That it wasn't always the case. Earlier versions of this mattress did contain fiberglass. Below is the information from the law tag: 67% polyurethane foam 33% viscoelastic polyurethane foam Finished size = 80 x 60 x 12” Weight = 55 pounds 11 oz. Outer cover Top / border = 100% polyester Bottom = 100% polyester Inner cover 85% rayon 10% PAN (polyacrylonitrile) based carbon 5% polyester Made in Indonesia Date of manufacturer 8/2023 Care instructions Spot clean, let air dry Do not bleach Do not remove cover That said, mattress manufacturers often do not disclose whether there is fiberglass or not on the law tag. So just because you see a law tag without it does not mean there is no fiberglass inside. The Green Tea mattress has been around for many years, but it wasn’t until 2022 that the mattress found itself in the middle of a class action lawsuit with allegations of leaking fiberglass causing health problems for sleepers. The fiberglass was later removed from the mattress and seemingly replaced with PAN (polyacrylonitrile) based carbon, an agent that is slow to burn when used as a fire retardant. According to Fisher Scientific, polyacrylonitrile may cause the following potential health effects: Eye: May cause eye irritation. Skin: May cause skin irritation. May be metabolized to cyanide which in turn acts by inhibiting cytochrome oxidase impairing cellular respiration. Ingestion: May cause irritation of the digestive tract. The toxicological properties of this substance have not been fully investigated. Metabolism may release cyanide, which may result in headache, dizziness, weakness, collapse, unconsciousness and possible death. Ingestion may result in symptoms similar to cyanide poisoning which is characterized by asphyxiation. Inhalation: May cause respiratory tract irritation. The toxicological properties of this substance have not been fully investigated. May be metabolized to cyanide which in turns act by inhibiting cytochrome oxidase impairing cellular respiration. Inhalation may result in symptoms similar to cyanide poisoning which include tachypnea, hyperpnea (abnormally rapid or deep breathing), and dyspnea (labored breathing) followed rapidly by respiratory depression. Pulmonary edema may occur. Chronic: May be metabolized to cyanide which in turn acts by inhibiting cytochrome oxidase impairing cellular respiration. Potential cancer hazard. While it’s great to see Zinus moved away from Fiberglass for their fire barrier, the fact that the mattress now utilizes polyacrylonitrile doesn’t seem great either.

Questions? Ask away! I do my best to answer all questions within 24 hours.
Can you review the Serta 10/12" Medium Cooling Memory Foam Mattress in a Box; Fiberglass-Free from Walmart?
I'll add that to our list. Thanks for the suggestion!
Does this contain fiber glass?
According to Zinus, it does not (at least not the current version being sold).
