Fireproof mattresses for hotel facilities

Fire safety regulations

For hoteliers, both large and small, it is important to arrange and prepare their facilities for peak periods so that they can best accommodate guests during their stay. Studies by major tour operators and online booking sites for vacations and business trips show that the quality of the mattress strongly influences the quality of reviews left after the stay.

In this article we will discuss fire regulations for hospitality businesses, focusing mainly on the provisions regarding furnishings, and more specifically on fireproof mattresses .
In order to ensure the safety of guests and staff, fire regulations are particularly restrictive. They apply equally to hotels, motels, campsites, guest houses, tourist villages, student residences, mountain refuges, dormitories, holiday homes, bed & breakfasts , etc. Only in the case in which these structures are intended to accommodate a very small number of people, less than twenty-five guests, these rules may undergo less restrictive variations.
All this is regulated by the Presidential Decree n. 151/2011 and among the numerous prescriptions, regarding for example specific building-structural obligations or personnel training, particular rules have been defined regarding furnishings.
While bed linen and some furnishing components such as carpets, paintings and sommiers do not require a specific certification attesting to their resistance to combustion, for mattresses and upholstered furniture in general, Class 1 IM fire reaction is mandatory.

Fire reaction classes
Upholstered products intended for furnishing such as armchairs, sofas and of course mattresses, after specialist testing, are assigned a class of reaction to flames. Based on the tests carried out by the authorities, 3 different classes can be assigned: 1IM, 2IM and 3IM. The higher the class number, the higher the possibility that such a piece of furniture will fuel a possible fire.
It is the Ministry of the Interior that issues the certification to the manufacturer of fireproof mattresses or any other upholstered furniture following the rigorous tests mentioned above.<
To evaluate the fire behavior, during the tests, the reaction to fire is tested by subjecting the fireproof mattress to the action of a small flame and the certificate is positively assigned if the combustion ceases within a time limit of twelve seconds from the removal of the burner. In particular, the 3IM certification is attributed after having subjected the object to the flame for 20 seconds, the 2IM class after having subjected it for a time equal to 80 seconds. Finally, 140 seconds are required to obtain the “class 1IM” certification.
Class 1IM for fireproof mattresses is therefore the best, the one of the highest quality and which ensures the highest level of safety.
