## Mattress Specifications – Explained in a U-Shaped Way (For Professional Buyers)
### Fabric Options (What Buyers Care About First)
Most buyers worry about **comfort, durability, and cost control** when choosing mattress fabric.
We offer **three fabric types**:
– **Knitted fabric**
– **Jacquard fabric**
– **Cooling (Ice-silk) fabric**
From real export experience, **we recommend knitted fabric and jacquard fabric**.
These two are also the **most commonly used choices in bulk orders**, because they balance **hand feel, breathability, and long-term stability**. Cooling fabric is available, but it is less common in standard wholesale programs.
**Fabric weight options**:
– 150g / 200g / 250g / 300g / 500g
In actual orders, **250g and 300g are the most frequently selected**, as they provide a solid feel without pushing costs too high.

### Mattress Logo (Branding Without Overpaying)
Many buyers hesitate between logo types, worrying about **cost difference vs. brand perception**.
We provide **two logo options**:
– **Embroidered logo**
– **Printed logo**
The cost difference is only **about USD 1 per mattress**.
For this reason, **embroidered logos are the most widely used**, as they look more premium and hold up better over time.

### Fire Resistance Options (Match the Market, Don’t Overspend)
Fire resistance is often confusing, and over-specifying can quickly raise costs.
We offer **three fire-resistance options**:
– **UK standard fire resistance**
– **US standard low-level fire resistance**
– **Non-fire-resistant**
If your market does **not have strict fire regulations**, we usually recommend **US standard low-level fire resistance**, as it meets basic safety expectations at a reasonable cost.

### Fire Resistance Standards – Clear Differences
**UK Standard Fire Resistance**:

– Available in **three levels: high / medium / low**
**US Standard Fire Resistance**:
– Can be ignited by a lighter
