Book Description
A test program was conducted to assess the hazards of institutional mattresses when subjected to a sustained flaming ignition source. This report gives results on full-scale room burns of ten different mattress types under several ventilation conditions. Tenability and rapid flame spread potential criteria were applied in a hazard assessment which showed a wide range of behavior among mattresses now being used in institutions. An extensive review of previous fire tests involving mattresses is included.

Book Description
The flammability of upholstered furniture is a major concern to engineers and others across a wide swath of organizations. This book was written to provide its audience with the science and engineering needed to better understand the combustibility of the products they manufacture, purchase, and try to extinguish. It addresses the science and engineering information needs of public and private sector fire technology personnel, including fire service students and officers, fire investigators, fire protection engineers, government officials; textile, chemical, and furniture industry personnel, or institutional furniture purchasers.

Book Description
A representative range of mattresses was subjected to cigarette and burning paper ignition sources. Ignition by cigarettes was achieved only at the taped edge of the mattresses which had this design feature. Al I mattresses were readily ignited by the paper source but they showed differing f lame propagation, and heat and smoke release rates. Of particular note was the rapid release of large amounts of heat and smoke by the rubber/polyurethane foam and one of the polyurethane mattresses A prototype institutional mattress which incorporated an interliner showed a significant improvement in fire performance in terms of ignitability, flame propagation, and heat and smoke release. It is concluded that it is feasible to use 'mini-mattresses' for the assessment of such mattresses.
