All about single trade mattresses
Single trade mattresses in the UK are specifically tailored for the hospitality and rental sectors, meeting the stringent demands of durability, comfort, and safety. These mattresses are designed with the unique requirements of commercial environments in mind, including hostels, hotels, and residential institutions. A critical feature of these mattresses is their compliance with Crib 5 regulations, which pertains to fire safety standards, ensuring they are resistant to ignition from small flames - a mandatory criterion for furniture used in public spaces. This combination of practicality, comfort, and stringent safety standards makes single trade mattresses an essential choice for businesses looking to provide safe and comfortable sleeping solutions.
What is a Crib 5 mattress?
Crib 5 or Contract is a common term for mattresses used within hospitality and commercial establishments as they have to be specifically manufactured to adhere to the strict UK Fire Regulations Act 1988.
Who needs to use Crib 5 mattresses and why?
Crib 5 mattresses are typically found in hotels, B&Bs, guest houses, holiday parks or virtually anywhere that accommodates guests. These mattresses have to go through rigorous testing procedures so that they meet incredibly stringent health and safety regulations.
Are Contract mattresses specifically for hotel use?
The simple answer is no. Although Crib 5 mattresses are designed for use in commercial properties, they are widely used in family homes, thanks to their enhanced fire regularity standards.
Are there different types of Crib 5 Contract mattresses?
We have traditional open coil mattresses and body-contouring pocket spring mattresses with a choice of medium firm support that suit the majority of us and firm support that suit those who like a harder mattress.
