Mattress Rollator

The Mattress Rollator is a laboratory durability testing system designed to evaluate the long-term structural stability, height retention, and hardness consistency of mattresses under repeated rolling load conditions. The system uses a 240 lb hexagonal roller to simulate human body movement and load distribution during extended mattress use, representing approximately ten years of service life. The tester is suitable for mattresses ranging from single size to king-size configurations and supports automated durability testing in accordance with recognized international standards.

Application

The Mattress Rollator is used for durability and performance evaluation of the following products:

Innerspring mattresses

Foam mattresses (polyurethane foam, memory foam)

Latex mattresses

Hybrid mattresses (spring + foam or latex structures)

Children’s and adult mattresses

Mattress prototypes during design validation

Production quality control and type testing in mattress manufacturing

Standards

The Mattress Rollator complies with or references the following standards:

ASTM F1566 Section 6 – Mattress Hardness Rating

ASTM F1566 Section 7 – Mattress Durability Testing

GB/T 26706 – General Technical Requirements for Mattresses (related clauses reference)

Test Procedures

Measure and record mattress height and hardness prior to testing

Adjust support platform according to mattress size

Place and position the mattress on the test platform
