Name of Auditor
Instructions of inspection
-
Mattresses should be enclosed in a waterproof cover, preferably with an integral zip fastener, to facilitate inspections of the surfaces.
-
In the event of mattress or mattress cover failure, action plans must be drawn up locally, reviewed and monitored.
Hand compression test
-
Where appropriate, adjust the height of the bed so that it is at the same level as the tester’s hip.
-
Link hands to form a fist and place them on the mattress.
-
Keep elbows straight and lean forward, applying the full body weight to the mattress.
-
Repeat the hand compression at intervals along the entire length of the mattress.
-
The mattress should be condemned if the base of the bed can be felt at any point.
Water penetration test (only for sealed mattresses without a zip)
-
Water penetration testing should only be carried out on mattresses that have a sealed cover, i.e. no zip, which make it impossible to inspect the core mattress. This is intended as a quick positive check to determine whether or not the mattress cover is permeable to fluids.
-
Using the fist, press the mattress cover to form a shallow well in the centre of the mattress where it would have high usage or on any areas of concern.
-
Pour a small volume of tap water (approximately 1⁄2 teacup/75 ml) in the well and agitate the area for about one minute.
-
Visually inspect for loss of water/water penetration which indicates failure of the test.
-
Mop up the water.
