Is this fire safe? What happens if someone drops a smouldering match/cigarette/etc on that pile of latex, foam and gel?

The encasement is advertised as fire retardant, bed bug resistant, and some other things I don't recall at the moment. There are inspectors and such for mattress-related products so I assume that this is reasonably accurate.

No different from a regular mattress made of the same materials.
