Does Your Mattress Have an Open Recall?

Mattress Recalls Are Rare but Serious

Mattresses sold in the United States must meet federal flammability standards. When a batch fails those standards or is found to contain materials that don't comply with regulations, CPSC issues a recall. Baby boomers who purchased a mattress in the last decade may have an open recall they've never seen.

CPSC flammability standard violations trigger mattress recalls Chemical treatment failures have led to recalls for major brands Box spring and foundation recalls have accompanied mattress recalls Memory foam and hybrid mattresses have been subject to chemical off-gassing recalls

How to Check Your Mattress for Active Recalls

Your mattress has a law tag attached to it with a model number and manufacturing date. That tag is your lookup key. Search CPSC.gov by brand name and model number to see if there are any active or historical recalls associated with your mattress.

Find the law tag: sewn to the mattress edge, often near the foot Note the model number, size, and manufacturing date from the tag Search CPSC.gov Recalls database by brand and model Contact manufacturer's recall line if your model falls within a recall serial range

Why Registration Matters for Future Mattresses

If your current mattress is not registered, future recalls will not reach you directly. For any mattress purchased going forward, registration at the time of purchase ensures the manufacturer can contact you if a recall, safety notice, or warranty issue arises.

Online registration takes two minutes from the manufacturer's website Registration associates your email with your mattress model and serial Recall notices and safety communications go directly to your inbox Some mattress brands offer extended comfort or replacement warranties upon registration

Mattress Warranties and What Registration Activates

Premium mattresses carry 10-25 year warranties. These warranties cover sagging beyond a defined threshold, coil failure, and material defects. Registration activates those warranties properly and creates the ownership record needed to file a claim without dispute.

10-25 year warranties standard on premium mattress brands Sagging claims require registration to establish original condition Foundation and base warranties are separate and also require registration Mattress warranty claims without registration often default to shorter base terms
