how mattresses become high-quality products
To objectively assess the quality of a mattress, it undergoes rigorous laboratory testing in accordance with UNI standards, simulating real-life sleep conditions.
There are two main types of tests: dimensional stability and durability and structural integrity of mattress. The durability test is performed using specialized equipment capable of simulating repeated pressure and movement, replicating the mattress’s use over a 15–17-year lifespan in a typical home environment.
A key part of the test involves evaluating how the mattress responds to long-term use, simulated by a 140 kg roller that mimics the weight and motion of a human body.
The product is placed in a controlled testing chamber for 21 days, where humidity and temperature are carefully regulated to reflect real-world conditions. After this period, the mattress undergoes the roller test.
Before and after testing, the mattress is evaluated for acceptable deformation curve under load, firmness level (resistance to compression), height retention.
The mattress components must remain intact, without loss of height or structural support, even after the full testing cycle.
The Consortium of High-Quality Mattress Manufacturers has raised the benchmark by increasing the durability test to 50,000 cycles a 50% increase over the standard required by European regulations.
Only products that successfully pass this demanding test are awarded certification and the official logos of CATAS, COSMOB, and the Consortium of High-Quality Mattress Manufacturers.
