I am actually working on a foam mattress manufacturer right now. Expanded Group A plastic. You would have to check if they are exposed or in cardboard boxes. Some mattresses are compressed and put into boxes. I’m not sure how a compressed foam mattress would behave in a fire situation when the box burns away. Ceiling height plays a big role in design requirements.
