Why CRIB5?
Occupational therapists and care home managers consistently specify orthopaedic mattresses for residents with restricted mobility — a firmer surface makes it easier to push up to a seated position, facilitates assisted transfers, and maintains better spinal alignment during extended bed rest. CRIB5 certification ensures full fire safety compliance is maintained without clinical compromise, with documentation available for CQC inspections, care quality audits, and local authority fire safety reviews.
