Join our webinar to learn about all aspects of mattress testing for the North American market.

For all of us, our beds must be places where we can be sure of the utmost safety and quality. Consumers expect mattresses to have been rigorously tested against the highest fire safety standards. For manufacturers to ensure full confidence in their products, there must be a thorough understanding of regulatory, comfort, quality and performance requirements.

This webinar will look at all aspects of mattress testing for fire safety and performance, covering the major regulatory and quality standards that apply to products either made or sold in the US. Other forms of mattress pads, such as those used in rollators, will also be covered. There will be an opportunity to quiz the experts.
