Water is the most effective extinguishing agent for a mattress fire because it cools and penetrates the burning material, fully extinguishing deep-seated Class A combustibles. Water's ability to absorb heat and penetrate porous materials makes it superior to agents that primarily displace oxygen or knock down flames without providing sustained cooling and deep penetration.
