An article having increased fire-retardant properties comprising a foraminous core structure and an adherent outer protective layer made of a hydrophilic polyurethane foam containing large amount of fire-retardant fillers, wherein the adherence between the core and said polyurethane coating is primarily obtained either (a) due to the adhesive nature of said polyurethane as it foams around the foraminous core in combination with the mechanical interlock obtained as said polyurethane foam flows into the foraminous core, or (b) due to the mechanical interlock obtained as the core is foamed into the inside foraminous structure of a previously formed outer protective layer of said polyurethane foam. The article according to claim 1, wherein the core is a flexible cushioning or bedding product. The article according to claim 15, wherein the core is an innerspring construction.
