Contract Mattresses

Contract Mattresses for Commercial Accommodation

Contract mattresses are designed for environments where beds may be used regularly by different occupants and where durability, maintenance and appropriate fire performance can be as important as comfort.

Our collection includes mattresses suitable for settings such as student accommodation, hotels, hostels, guest houses, staff accommodation and selected care environments. The range includes practical open coil mattresses alongside pocket sprung and specialist waterproof options, allowing buyers to choose according to budget, expected usage and the requirements of the individual room.

Choosing the Right Contract Mattress

There is no single mattress construction that is right for every commercial environment. Start by considering how the mattress will be used and which characteristics matter most to your organisation.

• Open coil mattresses provide a straightforward and cost-effective option for furnishing multiple rooms.
• Pocket sprung mattresses provide more independent support and can suit accommodation where additional comfort is required.
• Foam mattresses can provide a practical alternative where a simpler construction or specialist cover is preferred.
• Waterproof and wipe-clean options are available where easier cleaning and protection against fluid ingress are priorities.

If waterproofing or hygiene is the primary requirement rather than general commercial use, compare our waterproof and incontinence mattresses. For mattresses specifically intended for bunk frames, our bunk bed mattresses provide appropriately designed options.

Contract Mattresses vs Heavy Duty Mattresses

Contract and heavy duty mattresses can overlap, but they describe different requirements.

A contract mattress is primarily selected according to its suitability for a commercial or shared-use environment. A heavy duty mattress is primarily designed around increased support, durability or higher stated user weight capacities.

If higher weight support is the main requirement, compare our heavy duty mattresses. Buyers looking to compare every available construction and comfort level can instead browse our full mattress range.

Fire Performance and BS 7177

Fire performance is an important consideration when specifying mattresses for non-domestic environments. BS 7177 covers the resistance to ignition of mattresses, mattress pads, divans and bed bases and includes different hazard categories and ignition-source requirements.

The appropriate specification depends on the intended environment, so requirements should not be assumed to be identical across hotels, student accommodation, healthcare settings and other commercial premises. Where an individual mattress has been tested to a particular BS 7177 ignition-source level, this should be checked in the product specification before ordering.

Mattresses for Student Accommodation, Hotels and Shared Housing

For multi-room projects, the most suitable mattress is often determined by a combination of purchase cost, expected occupancy, maintenance requirements and the level of comfort required.

Student accommodation and hostels may prioritise robust, straightforward mattresses that can withstand regular occupant changes, while hotels and guest accommodation may place greater emphasis on pocket sprung comfort. Settings with additional hygiene requirements may instead benefit from waterproof or wipe-clean mattress constructions.

Check the size, mattress depth, firmness, stated user weight capacity, fire-performance information and guarantee on each individual product before specifying it for a project.
