What is an anti-vandal mattress?
Whether you operate a hotel or healthcare facility, when shopping for contract beds you may have come across anti-vandal mattresses and wondered what they are. In the following sections, we’ll investigate what these heavy-duty mattresses were designed for and explore the many different enterprises and organisations across the country that can also take advantage of these innovative options and their particular properties.
Designed with a protective purpose
Anti-vandal mattresses have been developed to prevent injuries occurring when individuals have challenging behaviour that can lead to them harming themselves. The design of these mattresses removes access to self-harming methods creating a protected sleeping environment. Additionally, anti-vandal mattresses are designed for fire safety and use specific materials that are Crib 5 or even Crib 7 fire rated. These protective properties make anti-vandal mattresses a solution used in psychiatric hospitals, special needs centres and other healthcare facilities.
Additional advantages of anti-vandal options
These heavy-duty mattresses are NHS approved and contain antimicrobial properties ensuring the highest hygiene level can be maintained at your facility. They are also hypoallergenic and are entirely water-resistant providing users with a dry and comfortable night's sleep, free from allergies. The mattress seams have been heat welded to ensure no liquid penetration can occur making these covers ideal for sleepers with severe incontinence issues. The mattresses are also exceptionally simple to wipe clean making them an easy-care option for your staff onsite.
Other businesses that can benefit from anti-vandal mattresses
While designed for self-harm prevention, many other enterprises and operations that require beds in a contract environment can also benefit from these robust mattresses. Although extremely durable, they are constructed using memory foam that moulds to the sleeper's form for added comfort and never requires turning. A hardwearing mattress that keeps sleepers comfortable and is incredibly low maintenance is ideal for both care home beds and those in hotel rooms. For optimum use of these firm waterproof mattresses, a solid foundation like that offered by a platform bed will provide the best level of support.
