PFAS score
Sealy · Mattresses
Sealy Posturepedic Elite Brenham II Euro Pillow Top Mattress
Skip until Sealy discloses flame-retardant and waterproof treatment chemistry.
Sealy does not publicly disclose what flame retardants or waterproofing treatments are used in this mattress. Standard mattress manufacturing often involves PFAS-based water and stain repellents in fabric covers and polyurethane foams. Without third-party testing or a brand statement, PFAS presence cannot be ruled out.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 42% confidence. It is not a lab result.
No independent PFAS lab test is on record for this exact product. A lab test could move the score in either direction.
The brand has not made a specific, verifiable PFAS-free statement, so part of this score reflects that missing disclosure rather than a confirmed material.
Formulations and coatings change between production runs. Always check the current label before buying.
