Many people worry that Simmons mattresses exceed the standard, and they choose a brown mattress made of "natural" materials. Is this really environmentally friendly? Recently, Zhejiang Consumer Protection Committee conducted a comparative test on 20 batches of brown mattresses sold in the market. The results showed that there were 5 batches of formaldehyde emission exceeding the standard, the highest exceeding the standard by 9 times.
One quarter of the mat has a serious formaldehyde
Recently, Zhejiang Consumer Protection Committee commissioned the Provincial Institute of Furniture and Hardware to carry out a comparative test of brown mats. A total of 20 batches of test samples were purchased, of which 13 were purchased from Hangzhou physical stores and 7 were purchased from e-commerce. The test items include formaldehyde emission, TVOC (volatile organic compounds), fabric color fastness to rubbing and instructions for use. The results showed that 5 of the 20 batches of mats had excessive formaldehyde emission, and the three batches indicated that they did not meet the requirements.
According to the relevant national standard, the standard requirement for formaldehyde emission is ≤0.050mg (mg) / m2 (per square meter) h (hourly). The test found that the five batches of the nominal "Syracuse", "Ai Ya Jiasi", "first space", "European Dynasty" and "Coconut" did not meet the national standards, and the formaldehyde emission was more than 4 times the standard. The nominal "Savano" mat has a formaldehyde release of 10 times the standard.
In addition, there are three batches of mats, such as “Coco Weibaoâ€, “Sai Fan Luo†and “Yangâ€, which are not in production, and the instructions for use such as production address are not met.
Too hard mat is not safe
Searching for the mat on Taobao, there are more than 60,000 pieces of product information, ranging from a few hundred yuan to several thousand yuan. The reporter randomly selected several products to consult customer service. The customer service kept mentioning the concept of health, the protection of the spine and the help of sleep. When asked if "the mat contains formaldehyde", almost all the customers denied it, saying that if brought home, the taste should be brown. One customer service said that all the mats contain formaldehyde, and it will not be a problem if you put two layers of cotton wool after purchase.
The main raw material of the mat is coconut palm or brown silk, which needs to be formed by bonding, and the materials used for bonding are natural latex, urea-formaldehyde glue, etc., wherein the natural latex is expensive, and the urea-formaldehyde glue is cheap but contains formaldehyde. Zou Lijia, general manager of Nature Mats Hangzhou, said that some small enterprises and small workshops use recycled urea palm mattresses, which will be bonded with a large amount of urea-formaldehyde glue. These brown mat products often have serious formaldehyde standards. Inferior fabrics are also one of the sources of formaldehyde.
So how can we buy a mattress with qualified quality and no formaldehyde content? The staff of the Provincial Consumer Protection Committee and the Provincial Furniture Product Quality Inspection Center gave several suggestions.
First of all, it is necessary to look at the product manual and logo. It should be marked with the trademark, Chinese factory name, factory address, product name, etc.; the quality inspection report can be obtained at the time of purchase, and the safety factor of the product with the quality inspection report and passing the test will be higher; If the mattress smells irritating, if there is a zipper on the side of the mattress, try to pull it out and check the internal materials carefully.
“Most consumers have a misunderstanding.†Tang Yuxun, director of the Provincial Furniture Product Quality Inspection Center, said, “Consumers buy brown mats because they are harder than spring soft mattresses, so the standard of purchase is 'harder the better' In fact, most of these hard brown mats use urea-formaldehyde glue as a binder, which is not safe."
If you don't feel comfortable after buying the mat, you can put it in the sun, because the volatilization temperature of formaldehyde is 19.5 degrees Celsius, and exposure can accelerate the evaporation of formaldehyde.
