Mattress Rollator
Category：Foam Fatigue Tester
Introduction
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)
