The inner layer of fiberglass in your mattress will come closer to the surface
By now, if you own an Ashley or Nectar mattress, you probably know that it is never a good idea to take off the outer cover, as this can lead to both serious injuries and property contamination. However, you may wonder if the fiberglass in your unzipped mattress can hurt you. Unfortunately, this can happen, although the injuries you may suffer because of it will generally be less severe.
With wear and tear, as well as because of friction, the inner layer of fiberglass of a mattress will come closer and closer to the surface of the product, which may cause multiple shards of glass to penetrate the outer cover. If you sleep on a mattress that is old and worn out, there is a risk of being injured by the fibers of glass that reached the surface of the product.
The injuries you may come to suffer are usually related to your skin, including skin itching and skin rashes, as the likelihood of inhaling or ingesting fiberglass in this scenario is very low. Consequently, if you have an Ashley or Nectar mattress that is old and you cannot currently afford to replace it with a safe one, we advise you to cover it in as many thick layers of fabric or plastic as possible before continuing to use it.
