How to Maintain Contract Mattresses?
Proper maintenance of contract mattresses is crucial to extend their life, hygiene and comfort standards. Regular cleaning is essential; using a vacuum cleaner with an upholstery attachment will remove dust and debris, addressing stains promptly with the recommended cleaning products by the manufacturer will prevent permanent damage. Deep cleaning should be done periodically, either through professional services to remove allergens and bacteria or by using steam cleaners to sanitise without damaging the mattress materials. Rotation and flipping of the mattress regularly will promote even wear and prevent sagging or indentations, frequency depends on usage and manufacturer’s recommendation. Investing in high quality, washable mattress protectors will shield the mattress from spills, stains and allergens and these protectors should be washed regularly according to the care label to maintain their effectiveness. Ensure good ventilation in the room so the mattress can breathe, prevent moisture buildup and mould growth, occasional exposure to sunlight will naturally disinfect and freshen the mattress. Regular inspections to identify and address any signs of wear, damage or discomfort is crucial and prompt repairs should be done to prevent minor issues from becoming major problems that will affect the mattress performance.

How are Contract Mattresses different from Standard Mattresses in the Hospitality Industry?
Contract mattresses differ from standard residential mattresses in many ways, designed for commercial environments. First they are built for greater durability and longevity, using higher grade materials such as resilient foams, robust coils and durable fabrics that can withstand heavy use and frequent cleaning. The construction is often reinforced with sturdy stitching and frames to prevent sagging and indentations over time. For hygiene and cleanability many contract mattresses are treated with antimicrobial agents to resist bacteria, fungi and other pathogens and their upholstery is designed to be easy to clean and sanitise, with high hygiene standards for commercial use. Comfort and support is also prioritised, contract mattresses offer a balanced firmness to cater to a wide range of sleepers, comfort for all users. Advanced support systems provide adequate pressure relief, reducing discomfort and improving sleep quality for long term users. Contract mattresses have everything you need to meet the specific requirements of commercial premises.
Also contract mattresses meet strict safety regulations, fire safety standards and are suitable for public and commercial use. They often have certifications to prove they meet industry specific requirements, so you can be sure they meet all the safety standards. From a cost perspective while contract mattresses may have a higher upfront cost, they will be more cost effective in the long run as they have a longer life and less need for frequent replacement. Bulk purchasing from commercial suppliers also makes them a cost effective option for businesses. Contract mattresses can also be customised with features such as adjustable firmness, specialised support zones and bespoke sizes to meet the specific needs of different premises. In summary, contract mattresses are built for commercial use, more durable, hygienic and compliant than standard residential mattresses. Their design and construction is optimised for comfort and reliability in high occupancy and diverse user environments.
Do Contract Mattresses meet CRIB 5 and BS7177 Standards?
Yes, our contract mattresses are designed to meet the critical safety standards, CRIB 5 and BS7177, so they meet the highest fire safety and material safety regulations for commercial use. CRIB 5 refers to the specific fire safety regulations for mattresses used in commercial environments. This means the materials used in the mattress are ignition resistant and slow to burn, reducing the risk of fire hazards. Contract mattresses that meet CRIB 5 meet the fire safety authorities requirements, so they are suitable for environments where fire safety is paramount.
