Brominated flame-retardants (BFRs) and chlorinated paraffins are reported to be present in foams and textile in waste institutional mattresses.

These are comprised of multiple components such as decabrominated diphenyl ether (decaBDE) (CAS 1163-19-5). Hazardous chemicals may also be present, such as hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD) (CAS 25637-99-4) and tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) (CAS 79-94-7).Institutional mattresses are mattresses that are used in facilities such as hospitals, care homes, mental health institutions, prisons and police stations, they do not include mattresses from domestic settings.
