Why CRIB5?
CRIB5 (Source 5 / BS 7177 Medium Hazard) is the mandatory fire-resistance standard for mattresses in UK commercial sleeping environments — hotels, care homes, HMOs, and student accommodation. The Midconnep carries full certification documentation suitable for local authority fire safety inspections, CQC audits, and FM procurement records. Standard domestic mattresses are not CRIB5 compliant and cannot legally be used in these settings. Neptune’s breathable non-woven cover avoids the heat-retention of PVC, making it the preferred specification for residents sleeping directly on the mattress surface.
