Sleep System Performance Tests With the heavy use to which hospitality sleep systems are subjected, it is important to predict how well a mattress and foundation will perform. In order to determine if sleep systems can withstand the rigors of hotel usage, as well as to truly evaluate the relative performance of competitive bedding products, hospitality sleep systems should be evaluated by four standard tests. Sleep systems should be tested as a complete unit (mattress and foundation together) and should meet or exceed the minimum requirements noted. Repetitive Impact Durability Test (Cornell) This test was specifically designed to test mattresses for hotel use. It is used to evaluate mattress durability by measuring load deflection (measure of support capability) and surface indentations (dimples). Load Deflection Analyzer This instrument measures the force required to penetrate a product at any given distance. This provides an objective measure of the support properties of the product or product component. Impact Drop Tester This repetitively drops a 175 lb. weight from a height of 7" to test box spring integrity and simulate the abuse that jumping on a mattress causes. Set or permanent deformation is measured at different drop sites. ASTM Hexagonal Roller Test (Rollator) This test uses a 240 lb. roller to predict product durability over extended usage. All Sealy Commercial bedding specifications must pass these stringent tests, before we offer that model for sale.
