Purchasing Student Residence Bedding

Nothing is simple anymore. Take the purchase of mattresses for student residences. Once upon a time you would simply call up a local mattress manufacturer and order your requirements. Today, the demands by Regulatory Bodies for Code compliance, Budgeting Authorities for service life and Our Student Residents who require comfortable clean sleep surfaces have combined to make the purchasing process more complex than it has ever been before. By understanding a few key concepts, one can make the purchasing process simple once again. There are four primary areas of mattress performance which one should be familiar with to regain control of the purchasing process and return it to a state of simplicity. The areas are flame resistance, clean-ability, biohazard containment, bed bug/allergen resistance and then of course student comfort.

Open flame-resistant mattresses specifically designed for high-risk occupancies such as university housings is an integral part of their overall fire safety strategy. Added to this is the need to create bedding that can be kept clean of contaminants such as blood and bodily fluids and allergens on the surface, and bacterial and fungal growth within. The dramatic resurgence of bed bugs is another addition to this equation.
