Safe bedding is a key part of every sleeping environment. It helps protect users, reduces risks, and supports important fire safety rules. Flame retardant duvets have become vital in UK commercial settings. They lower fire spread, resist ignition, and help managers meet strict rules. Flame retardant duvets are designed to react safely when exposed to heat or flame sources. These duvets must meet regulatory needs, and they help facilities comply with BS 7175. They also meet many insurance and safety checks across the UK. The Towel Shop provides a full range of flame retardant duvets tested to BS 7175 Crib 7. These duvets offer comfort, strength, and long-term use.
What is BS 7175 Crib 7?
BS 7175 is the UK rule for bedding safety in hotels, hospitals, hostels, and other commercial spaces. It measures how bedding reacts to fire sources. The Crib 7 test uses a flame source that checks ignition resistance and flame behaviour. A Crib 7-rated duvet meets the strongest part of this test.
