Consumer Education

Providing life-saving information to consumers along with the sleep products industry is a critical part of our mission. We work to promote an understanding of mattress and bedroom safety in several ways:

• Our consumer awareness program reaches people throughout the year via the national and local media.

• We have several active partnerships with leading fire safety organizations. For example, our work with the U.S. Fire Administration has led to an increased awareness of how to maintain a fire-safe home.

• Our safety hangtag program offers consumer guidance about mattress safety. Since the program began in 1987, nearly 220 million mattresses have been labeled with fire prevention and response tips.
  
  The safety hangtag is available in three versions:  Basic Hangtag, Tyvek^® (permanent Sewn-in Hangtag), Canadian (French/English).
