Abstract

A bed mattress fibre filling material consisting of a blend of cellulosic fibre and polymeric fibre where the cellulosic fibre preferably represents between 50% and 65% of the blend, and the polymeric fibre preferably represents between 35% and 50% of the blend. Such a material combines comfort and load bearing characteristics and improves fire safety performance such that a bed mattress containing the filling material is subject to neither smouldering, ignition nor flaming ignition, when subjected to ignition sources up to ignition source 5 (BS 5852) or its equivalent.
