No, Polyurethane is not toxic. In bedding products it often gives off a strong scent for a few days, which is not harmful. It is also used in MANY eco-friendly products, because it is non-toxic. It is a type of plastic, and can be used in place of nearly everything from metal to fiberglass to beds. It's a great discover I would say.
NOT TRUE, SIR, as I was personally being poisoned by exposure to the off-gassing, and my health only improved after replacing the mattress. I also personally know several other local people who have been similarly affected. Please get the whole truth before you assure people of something like this.

It should be kept awayopen flames and sparks.3.When it burns, polyurethane releases a great amount of heat and toxicfumes.4. Burning polyurethane can cause suffocation in a poorly ventilated area.5. Polyfunctional isocyanate and polyester polyol should be handled withgloves.6. DO NOT INGEST THE POLYURETHANE FOAM - some foams haveflame retardant additives that can be toxic if ingested. Whether or notthe foam you are working with contains them, it should not be ingestedor even placed in the mouth. (JUST LIKE ANY OTHERCHEMICAL!)
