What is a Hotel Contract Bed?
Contract beds - often referred to as hotel beds - are specially-designed beds for commercial use. They are used in hotels, B&Bs and educational establishments.
Contract beds go through rigorous testing procedures to meet strict fire safety and quality regulations. This ensures that every contract bed complies with BS7177:2008 Source 5 - Medium Hazard (Crib 5).
When you buy a contract bed, you can be reassured that your new bed has been tested to the highest standards. This means that it will provide the utmost safety for your guests.
Contract beds aren't just for luxury five-star hotels - they are essential for any commercial or educational environment, including:
- Hotels
- B&Bs
- Student accommodation
- Boarding schools
- Holiday camps
- Hostels
What mattresses do hotels use?

Why should I buy a contract bed?
You should buy a contract bed if you own educational or commercial premises with bedrooms. If you own a business that hosts guests, purchasing a contract bed isn't a choice, it's a requirement by law. If your beds aren't 'Crib 5' compliant, you will be putting your guests at risk and your insurance will be invalid in the event of a fire.
What types of contract beds are available?
Contract beds are available in a variety of different styles, to suit all guests. The main types are contract divan beds and folding contract beds.
1. Contract divan bed
Contract divan beds are the most common type of contract bed available and are typically found in hotels. Constructed with a sturdy wooden frame, these beds have been engineered to meet the demanding requirements of the contract environment.
Many of our contract divan beds can be customised to suit your needs. You can choose the colour finish of the bed, and the height, too. This means you can get a bed that will perfectly match your requirements.
In addition, all of our contract divan beds:
- Have passed all of the relevant safety requirements for commercial use
- Feature a sturdy platform top base
- Provide long-lasting performance for years to come
2. Folding contract bed
Folding contract beds are often used as spare beds in hotel rooms. These beds are great for guests with children or rooms to sleep an extra person.
Folding beds are easy to store when not in use and don't take up much room. These beds are made using a sturdy metal structure, so they'll provide lasting support even with regular use.
Can I purchase a contract mattress separately?
Yes, of course! You can choose from a wide range of contract mattresses. They're ideal if you already have a hotel bed.
When purchasing a replacement mattress for your commercial establishment, make sure that the one you buy complies with 'Crib 5' safety and quality regulations.
