Do Tuft and Needle Mattresses Have Fiberglass
Tuft and Needle mattresses do not have fiberglass except for a few of their models, in which they use fiberglass as a fire retardant.
There are very few brands that disclose that they use fiberglass and do not leave a chance to boast that they do not, and Tuft and Needle are among those brands.
I tested Tuft and Needle mattresses a few years back when their mattresses used to contain fiberglass, but now their high-end models do not contain it.
But is it really true, Is their claim that they do not use fiberglass in their mattress true or is it just another false claim like other many mattress brands make?
To clear up this confusion, first I contacted their customer support to know what they say, as per their statement, they do not use fiberglass in their premium models while their low-priced mattresses still contain fiberglass.
Then I contacted some of the users of this mattress and read many reviews about the Tuft and Needle mattress fiberglass.
I then tested the Tuft and Needle mattresses myself again to know the exact truth. To be honest, I didn’t find fiberglass particles in their two mattress models whereas others do contain it.
So, what are those Tuft and Needle mattresses that do not contain fiberglass? Let’s find out.
Which Tuft and Needle Mattresses Have Fiberglass
There are basically three models of Tuft and Needle that do not have fiberglass as a fire retardant in them. Apart from those, all other models that they sell on Amazon contain fiberglass irrespective of where you buy.
Our Original, Mint, and Mint Hybrid Mattresses do not contain fiberglass in any of their components.
Our fire barrier is a knit blend of polyester and cotton, which has been treated with a food-grade salt and satisfies both the 1633 (open flame) and 1632 (cigarette) burn test requirements.
Do Tuft and Needle Mattress Original Mattresses Have Fiberglass
No, Tuft and Needle original mattresses do not have fiberglass as a fire retardant. Be it any variant including twin, queen, king, or full, all the variants of this model are fiberglass-free.
I like the fact that the brand already made it clear that their other mattresses have fiberglass while the Original models do not.
I’m not saying anything about the quality, but if you are looking for a mattress without fiberglass then this can be on your list.
Do Tuft and Needle Mattress Mint Mattresses Have Fiberglass
If I talk about this model, the Tuft and Needle Mint mattresses do not have fiberglass, instead, they use organic material to pass the US flammability test.
If not fiberglass, what material is used as a fire retardant in this mattress? They use “a knit blend of polyester and cotton“

Is There Any Case of Fiberglass Leakage in Tuft and Needle Mattresses
To be honest, there have been a few cases of fiberglass leakage in the Tuft and Needle mattresses but not in all the models, as far as I know, only the Original mattresses of the brands faced the leaking issues.
That too on those mattresses, which were purchased a few years back when the brand used to use fiberglass and there is no fiberglass leakage case with the newer ones.
I haven’t heard or seen any cases of fiberglass leakage in other mattress models including the Mint and Mint hybrid.
The fiberglass leakage cases in Tuft and Needle original mattresses are low as compared to other brands as the quality of the mattress is quite good.
Fiberglass is not bad until it gets in contact with your skin or you somehow inhale it, if a mattress, be it any brand, does not leak fiberglass, you are good. Usually, mattresses with low prices and low quality have this issue.
