Many furniture retailers lose money from returns, complaints, and customs delays—just because they picked the wrong mattress supplier.
The right Chinese mattress should meet compliance, customization, and durability standards—so you can sell faster, without risk.
As a manufacturer, we help furniture importers avoid these costly mistakes by offering compliant, market-ready mattresses that match the real demands of the UK and EU markets.
What certifications should I look for in a mattress?
Not every mattress made in China is ready for export.
For UK and EU markets, every mattress must comply with UKFR (BS7177)1, CertiPUR-US2, and ISO 90013 standards to clear customs and avoid penalties.
What Mattress Certifications Matter—and Why?
Compliance is the foundation of safe, legal, and profitable sales. As a factory, we provide the following certifications with every export order:
| Certification | Function | Required In |
|---|---|---|
| UKFR / BS7177 | Fire safety (smolder + open flame) | United Kingdom |
| CertiPUR-US | Foam safety, no heavy metals or harmful substances | USA / EU |
| ISO 9001 | Quality management system | All export markets |
| EN597 | Flame retardancy (European test) | EU countries |
We supply original test reports from SGS, TUV, or Intertek, and attach clear labeling in English on every carton and mattress tag. Every batch is traceable through our ERP system.
One critical mistake many buyers face is trusting visual quality only. Some suppliers use certified outer fabric but low-quality inner foam. Since the mattress is compressed, it's difficult to detect. We solve this by offering physical samples and transparent material breakdowns before production.

How do I know which mattress is right for me?
Choosing the right model starts with knowing your customer segment and sales channel.
We help B2B buyers select mattresses based on material performance, market preference, and logistics efficiency.
Mattress Type Breakdown for B2B Importers
Here are the four most common mattress types we produce, optimized for B2B resale:
| Type | Key Features | Ideal For |
|---|---|---|
| Pocket Spring | Low disturbance, long lifespan | Mid-high tier retailers |
| Bonnell Spring | Economical, basic performance | Offline budget ranges |
| Foam Only | Lightweight, cost-effective, compressible | Online bundles or entry market |
| Memory Spring Foam | Hybrid comfort, premium feel | E-commerce or boutique hotels |
We use high-density foam (≥28kg/m³) and spring gauges between 1.8–2.2mm. For each client, we offer factory test reports on compression recovery, rebound time, and core structure.
A common issue with unverified suppliers is using soft wire or recycled foam, which may sag within 6 months. Our QC team performs random drop tests, density checks, and simulated usage cycles before shipping.

Which mattress is used in 5 star hotels?
Many suppliers claim “hotel quality”—but only a few deliver real durability and comfort.
Mattresses used in five-star hotels typically feature pocket springs, edge support, multi-zone layouts, and breathable, anti-pilling fabrics.
What Makes a Mattress “Hotel Quality”?
We manufacture hotel-use mattresses under OEM brands for boutique chains and resorts. These models include:
| Feature | Specification | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Spring System | Pocket springs, 5–7 zones | Full-body support |
| Foam Layers | Multi-layer, ≥30kg/m³ | Consistent feel, longer life |
| Fabric | Anti-microbial, skin-friendly knit | High-touch comfort |
| Thickness | 28–35cm | Premium appearance |
| Edge Support | Foam encased | Maximize sleeping surface |
| Packaging | Vacuum-rolled | Lower shipping volume |
For example, our 32cm velvet-wrapped mattress with charcoal foam has been a bestseller for UK online clients. Zero returns and consistent 4.9-star reviews confirmed its performance.

How do I choose the right size mattress?
Export mattresses must match local market sizing precisely.
We follow strict size tolerances for UK and EU standards, such as Double (137×191 cm) and King (150×200 cm).
Mattress Sizing and Quality Control
During compression, some materials may shrink temporarily. To prevent post-delivery complaints, we apply a 72-hour decompression test before final QA.
| Market | Size Examples | What We Do |
|---|---|---|
| UK | Double: 137×191 cm | Test rebound time & label all boxes |
| UK | King: 150×200 cm | Confirm edge support retention |
| EU | 140×200, 160×200 cm | Metric consistency on foam alignment |
| Custom | OEM specs allowed | Sample cut before mass production |
Every mattress is labeled with actual dimensions in both centimeters and inches. During loading, we confirm piece weight and packed size to help buyers pre-calculate courier and last-mile delivery risks.
One common problem is receiving 135 cm “doubles” labeled as 137—caused by inner foam collapse. We prevent this by reinforcing core layers and limiting vacuum roll shrink to <5%.
