What to Look For When Choosing Mattresses for PBSA or University Halls

Choosing the right mattress is essential for comfort, durability, and long-term budget planning.

Here’s a simple checklist for accommodation teams.


1. Crib 5 Fire Rating

Mandatory for all student accommodation.


2. Durable Fabric

Striped or printed contract fabrics withstand much more wear than domestic covers.


3. Reinforced Edging or Tufting

Prevents sagging and helps maintain shape during heavy use.


4. Supportive Fillings

Choose fillings designed for constant turnover, not domestic one-person use.


5. Appropriate Comfort Level

Medium-firm is usually the safest, most consistent choice across all rooms.


6. Supplier Reliability

Work with contract bedding specialists who can:

  • provide proof of compliance
  • offer bulk pricing
  • meet delivery timelines
  • assist with recommendations

Final Thoughts

A well-chosen contract mattress reduces costs, enhances comfort, and keeps rooms consistent year after year.
