In hospitality, guest safety and comfort are among the top priorities.
The choice of fireproof mattresses for one's facility therefore plays a key role in the living room.
A fireproof mattress is required by law in lodging facilities and must be accompanied by relevant certification attesting to its resistance to combustion and flame spread.
Certifications of fireproof mattresses
Fireproof mattresses intended for use in hotel facilities must meet specific safety standards. In Italy, the most common certification is:
Class 1 IM (compliant with DM 26/06/1984): Italian certification for fire retardant materials, mandatory for hotels, hospitals and public environments.
Certification without sacrificing comfort
Certification is a must for accommodations, but the comfort of the mattress should not be overlooked as it affects the guest's sleep and thus his or her judgment of the facility.
To meet this dual need, there are several types of fireproof mattresses each with specific structural characteristics, comfort levels and relative price ranges.
They range from the simplest polyurethane models to more advanced models with individually pocketed springs and Memory layers.

Some guest reviews


Mattress stiffness: personalized comfort for each guest
Another ’important aspect in choosing the correct mattress for one's frame is the degree of stiffness.
Stiffness affects sleep quality and the guest's perception of comfort.
In a hotel facility, finding the correct balance is crucial to satisfying a diverse clientele with varying resting needs.
The stiffness of the mattress, or the degree of support, indicates how well the mattress is able to withstand the pressure exerted by the body.
It is classified into:
Rigid Mattress
Ideal for those who sleep supine or need firm support for the spine. It is often the preferred choice in business hotels Or for guests with lower back problems.
Medium Mattress
the most versatile choice, suitable for most people. It offers a good balance between support and comfort, proving suitable for both supine and side sleepers.
Soft Mattress
more welcoming and enveloping, suitable for those seeking a accentuated feeling of comfort. It is rarer in hotel facilities because it is not suitable for all builds.
How to choose the right stiffness for a hotel?
In most cases, we recommend opting for mattresses with medium stiffness (between 7 and 8 out of 10), which provide adequate comfort for a wide range of guests, both men and women, of different ages and builds.
Some high-end hotels offer “on demand” solutions, such as rooms with stiffer or softer mattresses, to meet personal preferences.
How can the material affect the stiffness of the mattress?
- Mattresses in polyurethane tend to be stiffer, depending on the density of the foam.
- Le Bonnell springs offer a more uniform and traditional stiffness.
- Le pocketed springs allow more dynamic support, adapting better to pressure points.
- The memory foam, on the other hand, tends to soften the surface and reduce the feeling of stiffness, while maintaining good deep support.
