What to consider when buying contract beds and mattresses?
Hotels often utilize contract beds as a way to ensure the best service levels offered to customers, quality of bedroom furnishings and last but not least, to fulfill legal requirements.
Compliance with flammability standards
One of the most important aspects is the fact that all the hotel beds should conform to certain standards of flame retardant levels to meet regulations which are much higher than those set for domestic use. This is particularly important for independent hotels, that may not necessarily feel the need to purchase contract beds, or that may not know that some beds purchased within the domestic market for use in a hotel may even be illegall. Bearing these in mind, one of the first things to check is that the contract beds that your hotel will buy are compliant to British Standards. Wow! Contract supplies the complete range of Crib 5 / Source 5 Flammability standard BS7177 beds and mattresses and we are always more than happy to advice our clients if any questions arise.
Price
The next thing to consider is price. Lower price does not mean you need to compromise on quality. Wow! Contract is offering your hotel a range of beds based on your individual requirements and needs. Therefore, if you are a very small independent hotel or bed and breakfast, you can still get the perfect contract bed for your level of client use, but within a smaller budget. Whereas if you are a boutique hotel with a higher level of clientele and a need to offer your customers a much more sophisticated experience, you can still get a contract bed that delivers a good night’s sleep as well as the finer elements.
Range
As a hotelier you need to choose the range of beds that you are interested in. Wow! Contract offers an amazing range of beds for the hotel and contract market. You might choose between:
- Hotel Value Range
- Hotel Luxury Range
- Pocket Spring Collection
- Memory Foam
Size
You can choose between standard UK sizes, or if you have special requirements Wow! Contract is delighted to offer your hotel bespoke sizes.
Zip and Link Beds
A zip and link bed basically allows a hotelier to sell a room as either a single, double or twin room helping to increase occupancy rates and reduce costs. The beds and mattresses link together seamlessly leaving guests with a Super King Size bed or two twin beds depending on who is staying. As well as reduced cost and increased occupancy rates your guests will benefit from a great night’s sleep with no roll together as each guest is individually supported.
Old beds disposal
Do not send your old beds and mattresses to landfill. Did you know that it takes more than 20 years for a single mattress to decompose? A more efficient and environmentally friendly way is to recycle them with our company. With Wow! Contract all of the beds and mattresses are fully stripped back to their component parts, baled and re-processed to go back into the supply chain with 100% landfill avoidance.
