Don't you hate it when your mattress bursts into flames for no reason at all?

How does a mattress catch on fire
Unattended I phone or I phone adapter left on mattress probably burned
Unattended E cigarette on mattress probably exploded.
Static from blankets probably sparked it.

And usually, but not always starts from someone smoking in the bed. Not saying that's what happened here but there are thousands of bedroom fires every year for this, and other avoidable reasons.
