Specialist Mattresses for Care Settings

Care homes have unique requirements that standard mattress suppliers don't understand. Resident comfort, infection control, pressure care, and regulatory compliance all demand specialist solutions.

Care Home Mattress Requirements

Care settings require stringent hygiene standards:

  • Waterproof or water-resistant covers
  • Wipeable surfaces for cleaning between residents

Care homes require enhanced fire safety compliance:

  • Crib 5 (Source 5) fire rating
  • Documentation for CQC inspections

Care home mattresses experience intensive use:

  • Profiling bed adjustments
