Alerta Long-Life FR Luxury Washable Duvet Double - Flame Retardant Care Home Duvet
The Alerta Long-Life FR Luxury Washable Duvet (Double) is a 10.5 tog, 200x200cm washable duvet for care homes, residential care settings and hospital wards where flame retardant bedding and a wider coverage area are required. The BS 7175 certification meets the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 mandate for flame retardant filled articles in care homes - a compliance area directly assessed during CQC fire safety inspections. The 200x200cm double size provides additional coverage for wider profiling beds and bariatric placements. The quilted 100% cotton outer is breathable and skin-gentle, and the polyester ball fibre filling retains loft and resists clumping through repeated institutional wash cycles.

Regulatory Compliance
The Alerta FR Duvet (Double) is certified to BS 7175 (Tests for the ignitability of bedding materials), meeting the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRFSO 2005) requirement for flame retardant bedding in care homes. CQC fire safety inspections check that all bedding in use carries appropriate FR certification. BS 7175 (duvets and pillows) is separate from BS 7177 (mattresses) - both standards are checked during CQC premises inspections. Machine washability supports NHS IPC laundry guidance for shared bedding in care environments.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should a double duvet be specified over a single?
The double (200x200cm) is specified for wider profiling beds, bariatric placements or where additional coverage is clinically or comfort-indicated. Standard single profiling beds (90cm platform) are typically covered by the 140x200cm single. Where the bed platform is wider - such as bariatric beds at 120cm or above - or where a larger coverage area is required for patient comfort, the 200x200cm double provides the appropriate dimensions.
Does the double duvet carry the same BS 7175 certification as the single?
Yes. Both the single (140x200cm) and double (200x200cm) carry BS 7175 flame retardant certification and meet the same Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 compliance requirement for FR bedding in care homes. CQC fire safety inspections check certification regardless of size; both sizes can be presented as compliant under the same regulatory framework.
