A test program was conducted to assess the hazards of institutional mattresses when subjected to a sustained flaming ignition source. This report gives results on full-scale room burns of ten different mattress types. Tenability and rapid flame spread potential criteria were applied in a hazard assessment which showed a wide range of behavior among mattresses now being used in institutions.
