Here's what I just got from the company -- they seem really nice, by the way.Polyurethane foam itself is a good material and is the best balance from a comfort/safety perspective. However, when used in thicker mattresses/upholstered furniture, it does require toxic flame retardants, which are the root of the problem. We have certainly seen opinions that call out polyurethane itself as unsafe, but they are limited (not nearly as prevalent nor credible as the research showing the problems with flame retardants), and all of the research we have done makes us very comfortable using it (both as a company and personally with our own kids).

I just contacted the company via Facebook as to where they manufacture (BTW it is China), below is their response: "Hi Tara, thanks for your message! Our products are all designed in San Diego and manufactured in China with suppliers we have been working with for 12+ years. Please let us know if you have any other questions!"This puts me on the fence about purchasing this crib because of the manufacture location. I have the older GoCrib which we have used a lot and all over the planet with our travels, but it still has a hint of plastic smell after owning for over 2 years.

I emailed the company: both mattresses (bassinet and travel crib) are made from "polyurethane foam with a waterproof polyester cover". This entire crib is made in China. Also from the company "They do not contain any PVC, phthalates, heavy metals or flame retardants."

I don't know but it is a fantastic mattress. I love it and it is comfortable and springy. I am sure that if you call Amazon they can tell you where it is made. I know it did not ship from China so it must be assembled here somewhere

The Matress is made in China like most things these days. After we unpackaged the matress and let it set for a day, it expanded to full size.This matress is total comfort and we are glad to have made the purchase.

I've talked with Amazon twice regarding the lack of warranty and instructions. They don't seem to know anything. There's certainly no knowledge of a warranty.The tag on the mattress cover states it was made in China and imported by Merchsource LLC. Businessweek shows the address of Merchsource as 19511 Pauling Foothill Ranch, CA 2610-2619. This may be some sort of mail drop as at least 8 other businesses are listed at the exact same address. The listed phone number is 949-587-9207.

I did some research before I bought the mattress and was not able to figure out where they are made. My assumption is somewhere in the far east. Wherever they are made, we are very happy with ours. Since making the first purchase we have bought three others and have talked at least three friends into buying them as well. It turned out we preferred the 12 inch mattress to the 14. The 14 ended up being a bit too firm for my liking but the 12 was/is perfect.

I DO NOT ADVISE PURCHASING THIS MATTRESS. Very uncomfortable. Smells like sawdust, which it's probably filled with. It's lumpy and you can feel the springs. I regret purchasing it, and would not recommend it for use on the floor, a bed frame, or just general use for humans or animals.

Extra--it comes with a really substandard mattress, also (very thin with a horrible chemical odor it takes forever to get rid of.) I would definitely recommend getting another mattress. The Kolcraft portable crib mattress works well and is inexpensive.

I do not believe this is a dynasty. The maker of this mattress states emphatically that his mattresses are made in the USA. Dynasty does not. This mattress is not only sold on eBay but foammattressdiscounts also has their own website. Just google it for more info. I have a bedinthebox mattress on a guest bed and really like it. Their website has great info on what makes a good memory foam mattress and they are rated #1 by "Sleep like the dead" . It has 3" of visco foam on a 6" support foam. The support in both areas are very similar to this mattress except he adds an additional inch to the support, plus air holes and an additional 2" of the top layer. I have removed the cover of this mattress and it is built just like the maker states. There was hardly any oder and we slept on it the first night. Is the foam CertiPUR-US? I don't know. You could go to his website or log into eBay and ask him. They are very responsive. Hope this helps.

Others have answered China. The packaging doesn't state where they are made. It must be marked on the sheets. Sorry, I am unwilling to pull the bed apart as so many others have already stated China.

Be very clear - I just received this product today and it is absolutely made in China, and the label clearly states this. TBH I'm not surprised, I expected this as the price is far too good to be a comforter manufactured in the USA without the "lovely" chemicals used in China bedding manufacturing. A comforter made in the USA with the guarantee that chemicals like formaldehyde were not used cost at least 4 times more. I am keeping the comforter, the price is good and I will wash it as many times as I can before using, to try to mitigate the formaldehyde but be aware that this is what you are buying - not even a remotely made in USA product.

I am not totally sure, but I seem to remember that it was made in the USA. I can tell you that you won't regret buying this mattress. Love mine

My label says "made in USA". BTW mine is now put away - I purchased the one with a layer of memory foam which is more comfortable. (made in China)

I'm sorry, I have no idea. I would contact the manufacturer or Amazon, they should be able to tell you. We still LOVE this mattress!!

The ones I got say made in China. Try the bed/bath/B store. Those ones I like a bit better. See my review as to why.

Also, I just checked the label on these two bed buddies and guess what! the REAL original one was made in the USA. The new version is made in CHINA! ( what else do we expect from cheap outsourcing of labor from this country???)

the mattress pad is made in china, it is one hundred percent cotton and has pure belgium will inside it washes very well and has no flame retardant, i got mine in the hopes that it would alleviate the heat from my memory foam mattress, It has not done that , But it is very well made and otherwise i am pleased with it.
