Mattressman recalls mattresses over fire safety risk

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 14 Oct, 17:02 · Archive

Norfolk retailer Mattressman has recalled two double mattress models after their anti-slip undersides failed flammability testing.

Norfolk-based retailer Mattressman, which operates 12 UK stores, has recalled two of its mattress models after identifying a fire safety risk. The recalled products are the Mattressman Comforcel Elite, a memory foam double mattress, and the Supreme Mattress, a gel foam double.

The mattresses, manufactured in Malaysia, pose a risk of fire because the anti-slip material on the bottom surface could ignite and continue to flame if exposed to an ignition source. The anti-slip section failed flammability testing and does not meet the requirements of the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988.

Mattressman has recalled the products from end users and has contacted affected customers directly. Those who own these mattresses and have not been contacted by the retailer are urged to stop using them immediately and contact Mattressman for a refund or replacement.
