Specialist Mattress Manufacture: Bespoke Custom Solutions

Published 17th November 2025

There’s a lot to lose sleep over when it comes to choosing mattresses, whether they’re for hospital patients or hotel guests. You need to consider compliance, specification and value for money, as well as practical considerations like cleaning, durability, and of course, comfort.

Unless you’re very lucky or your requirements are very flexible, it’s unlikely that a standard mattress will make the grade. Chances are, you’ll need a bespoke, specialist solution for your mattress manufacture – and that’s where Redwood can help you sleep a little easier.

In this article, we’ll take a look at why standard mattress manufacture isn’t enough, and how Redwood can create the bespoke bedding designs and mattress manufacturing solutions that you need.

Why Standard Mattresses Don't Meet Commercial Needs

There are a number of reasons why standard mattress manufacturers fall short of the needs of commercial users. These include:

• Safety compliance – there are numerous safety regulations that apply to mattresses, in both healthcare and hospitality situations, including the CRIB 5 fire requirements. Regular mattress manufacturers may not meet the strictest safety standards required by commercial users.

• Hygiene regulations – hospital and clinic mattresses are also subject to strict hygiene regulations to help reduce healthcare-acquired infections and protect patients.

• Longevity – in both health and hospitality situations, mattresses are subject to significantly increased use, creating wear and tear which will reduce the life of standard mattresses. 

• Care and cleaning – with frequent changes of user, commercial mattresses require enhanced cleaning and regular refurbishment to maintain quality and comfort.

With decades of experience in bespoke mattress manufacture, the Redwood team will work with you to deliver exactly the specifications and compliance you need.

Tailored Mattress Manufacture for the Healthcare Sector

Healthcare mattress manufacture adds a whole new level of demands that must be met. Redwood designers can produce a product that meets all your requirements for patient care and safety, including:

• Antibacterial fabrics – Xtreme fabrics are designed to meet the most stringent antibacterial requirements, including REACH and RoHS standards

• Waterproof mattress manufacture – Redwood specialist fabrics and welded seams make them ideal for incontinence use.

• Easy clean fabrics – Xtreme fabrics are designed to withstand the most aggressive cleaning regimes, including prolonged exposure to 10,000 ppm of active chlorine
