Quilters Dream Angel Select Midloft Flame Retardant

Dream Angel Flame Retardant Quilt Batting is made of fibers specially engineered to be inherently flame retardant. The fibers are designed not to melt or flow when in contact with flame. The fibers are inherently flame retardant with no chemical coatings and no PBDEs.  Dream Angel Batting can be machine washed and dried and will not lose the flame retardant quality.  Dream Angel was tested by an independent laboratory and meets international standards and the Technical DRAFT CAL 604*.

Why use Dream Angel? Our customers often ask: “Why use a flame retardant quilt batting when the outside of the quilt can burn?”   Our answer: The fact that the outer fabric can burn or ignite is the very reason to use Dream Angel!   Regular batting, stuffing, fiberfill, foam, etc., can often act as quick ‘kindling’ materials promoting fire. Consequently, a terrifying fact is that a bedroom fire can ‘flash over’ in minutes. 

Dream Angel batting is developed to act as a flame ‘barrier’ within the quilt.  

To pass the then Technical Cal 604* Draft – the testing lab puts together two layers of fabric with the batting in the middle (an ‘unquilted’ quilt sandwich).  They place the layers on an elevated screen so air flows in all directions.  The lab then ignites the top layer of fabric.  To pass the Cal 604 Draft – the batting must act as a flame barrier and prevent the fire from spreading from the top burning fabric to the bottom fabric layer.  Dream Angel passed this very strict testing guideline in the Select lofts by successfully acting as a flame barrier.  Another advantage is that Dream Angel fibers will char.  The most effective flame retardant fibers will char and convert from their original organic structure to a less volatile carbonaceous structure (char).  The charring helps the batting in retaining thermal barrier qualities.**
