Contract Mattresses

What Type of Mattresses Do Hotels Use?

Most hotels choose contract mattresses built with either open coil or pocket spring systems. Coil mattresses are known for their robust structure and excellent value, ideal for frequent guest turnover. In contrast, pocket sprung mattresses provide premium comfort for boutique or high-end accommodation.

What Distinguishes a Contract Mattress From a Standard Mattress?

A contract mattress is specially designed for commercial use, such as in hotels, care homes, or student halls.

Unlike standard mattresses, contract and hotel mattresses are:

Fire-retardant and compliant with strict UK safety regulations (BS7177: Crib 5).
Built for durability, with reinforced edges and strong internal structures for extended use.
Hygienic, often featuring waterproof or anti-microbial finishes.

These features ensure consistent performance, safety and comfort over long-term, heavy-duty use, giving you total peace of mind in commercial environments.

Contract Mattress Types

At Bed Kingdom, we offer two primary types of contract mattresses:

Open Coil Contract Mattresses - Affordable, supportive and designed for reliability. Also known as traditional mattresses, they are perfect for hotels, hostels and residential care.
Pocket Sprung Contract Mattresses - Each spring works independently for enhanced comfort and body contouring. Pocket spring mattresses are ideal for luxury guest rooms or boutique hotels.

Choose from depths ranging from 16 cm to 25 cm to suit your desired level of support and comfort. Not sure which one to choose? Check out our mattress buying guide to find the right one for you.

We also offer contract divan beds with mattresses, a convenient all-in-one solution for hotels and student accommodations.

Hotel Mattress Firmness Options

Our medium and medium-firm contract mattresses cater to a wide range of sleeping preferences. Medium contract mattresses provide a balanced level of comfort and support, ideal for most sleepers. On the other hand, medium-firm mattresses offer enhanced support for proper spinal alignment and long-term comfort, making them popular in hospitality and healthcare environments.

Can I Have a Hotel Mattress in My Home?

Yes! While designed for commercial use, hotel mattresses are also suitable for home use.

Their robust build, supportive feel and compliance with high safety standards make them an excellent choice for anyone seeking a durable, long-lasting mattress with professional-grade quality.
