Why CRIB5?
Care home managers and NHS procurement teams increasingly demand a single mattress specification that covers fire safety (CRIB5), hygiene protection (Neptune waterproof), and clinical support (orthopaedic firm) — eliminating the need to manage multiple mattress specifications across a resident room estate. The Tulip Ortho Neptune delivers all three in one product. Full certification documentation is available for CQC inspections, local authority fire audits, and NHS procurement frameworks.
