Higher Standards for Your Healthcare Mattresses

Published 20th December 2024

When it comes to standards and quality control, you can rest assured that Redwood will never settle for second best. We believe in leading the way and setting the very highest standards to give our customers complete peace of mind and absolute confidence in our products.

At Redwood, we pride ourselves on producing healthcare mattresses of the highest quality. With our industry-leading experience, expert team, and in-depth knowledge, we create products that meet, and more often than not exceed, the most rigorous standards. Our commitment to excellence ensures that our clients receive reliable, durable solutions they can trust for their patients' care right across the healthcare sector, from nursing homes to specialist clinics, private hospitals to NHS wards.

Compulsory and voluntary standards

In healthcare mattress manufacturing, meeting mandatory standards is essential. These requirements vary from country to country, and at Redwood, our expert team ensures your medical mattresses comply with the most stringent regulations wherever you operate. We simplify the complexities of legislation and certification, delivering fully compliant products for markets worldwide.

But we don’t stop there. At Redwood, we go beyond minimum requirements to produce healthcare mattresses that are safer, more durable, and higher-performing – all while working within your budget. Our commitment to excellence means you get products that set the standard for quality and reliability.

What’s more, because we take care of every stage of design and manufacturing in house, we can monitor and maintain those standards at every step of the process. We don’t need to sub-contract or outsource because the Redwood team has all the skills, experience and equipment we need in one place.

Proven performance

Redwood healthcare mattresses undergo the most stringent testing, both in house and in independent labs. From tensile testing to accurately measure the strength of a welded seam to hydrostatic head machines that assess water penetration rates, we rigorously test our medical mattresses to ensure superior performance.

While our in-house test facilities are state-of-the-art, this is just the beginning of the process. Once our products meet Redwood’s stringent standards, they are sent to UKAS-accredited testing companies for independent verification, ensuring complete confidence in the performance you can expect

Independent tests and certifications include internationally recognised ISO 10993 biological evaluations, along with BS 7177 and EN 597 fire resistance assessments. Our healthcare mattresses comply with the SI 2002/618 Medical Device Regulations. We also operate to ISO 9001 quality management standards, not just to get the certification, but because it is the optimum, tried and tested way to operate a business.

Constantly improving

The standards set by medical safety boards are constantly evolving as new and innovative methods are developed to protect patients. At Redwood, we closely monitor these changes and collaborate with national and international bodies to continually improve and enhance our healthcare mattresses. This not only ensures that we deliver the highest quality products to our customers, but it also helps them to stay right up to date with the very latest standards and regulatory compliance.

Redwood is much more than just a mattress manufacturer, we are your trusted industry partner who will work with you, whatever your product, whatever your market, to achieve the very highest standards.
