Our Services
At Specialist Mattress Systems, we provide a comprehensive range of services to ensure your care home or hospital remains safe, compliant, and efficient.
ANNUAL BED SERVICING
- Third-Party Requirement: Recent MHRA guidelines and CQC standards now require annual servicing by an external provider. We’re here to meet that need and help keep you fully compliant.
- Thorough Inspection: Our technicians conduct a full check of hinges, rails, motors, and height-adjustment
features, ensuring every bed meets the required safety standards - Affordable Pricing: Starting at just £5 per bed, our servicing options are tailored to fit the size and needs of your facility.
BED RAILS & TROLLEY CHECKS
- New MHRA Safety Alert: As of 30 August 2023, the MHRA mandates proper installation and maintenance of all bed rails. Your facility must begin compliance steps immediately and complete them by 1 March 2024 to avoid potential penalties.
- Secure Fittings & Adjustments: Our team checks the condition and fit of your bed rails or trolleys, ensuring they’re properly installed to prevent entrapment or accidental falls.
- Staff Training: We offer optional staff training and guidance so your team knows how to adjust and maintain bed rails correctly, further enhancing resident safety.
PRESSURE CARE & AIR MATTRESS SERVICES
- Full Inspection & Repair: Our technicians inspect each mattress for punctures, leaks, or compromised air cells. If we spot a problem, we can repair or replace damaged parts.
- Cleaning & Decontamination: We thoroughly clean and sanitise your mattresses to mitigate infection risk—vital in a post-COVID environment.
- Performance Testing: We verify optimal inflation levels, ensuring residents receive the right pressure relief
DECONTAMINATION SERVICES
- Specialised Cleaning: Beyond mattresses, we also clean and sterilise beds, hoists, and other essential care equipment to the highest standards.
- Post-COVID Focus: In the aftermath of the pandemic, infection control is more critical than ever. We provide thorough, hospital-grade decontamination to safeguard residents and staff.
- Compliance Documentation: We issue cleaning certificates to demonstrate adherence to stringent health protocols.
HOIST & LOLER TESTING
- Free Hoist Checks: We offer complimentary hoist (LOLER) testing alongside our bed servicing packages to ensure your lifting equipment meets all safety requirements.
- Prevent Accidents: Regular LOLER checks can prevent mechanical failures that might put both residents and staff at risk.

COMPLIANCE & CERTIFICATION
