Alerta Long-Life FR Luxury Washable Duvet Single - Flame Retardant Care Home Duvet
The Alerta Long-Life FR Luxury Washable Duvet (Single) is a 10.5 tog, 140x200cm washable duvet for care homes, residential care settings and hospital wards where flame retardant bedding is a regulatory requirement. The BS 7175 certification addresses the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 mandate for flame retardant filled articles in care homes - an area directly checked during CQC fire safety compliance inspections. The quilted 100% cotton outer provides a breathable, skin-gentle surface appropriate for residents with sensitive or fragile skin. The polyester ball fibre filling distributes evenly and recovers after each machine wash cycle without clumping or losing loft - the characteristic reflected in the Long-Life designation.

Regulatory Compliance
The Alerta FR Duvet is certified to BS 7175 (Tests for the ignitability of bedding materials), the standard for filled articles such as duvets and pillows. Compliance with BS 7175 meets the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRFSO 2005) requirement for flame retardant bedding in care homes, which CQC fire safety inspections assess as part of premises management. BS 7175 (duvets and pillows) is a separate standard from BS 7177 (mattresses) - both are routinely checked during CQC fire safety inspections of care home premises. Machine washability supports NHS Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) laundry guidance for shared bedding in care environments.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Long-Life designation mean?
Long-Life refers to the wash-stable performance of the polyester ball fibre filling. Standard polyester fillings can compress and clump after repeated institutional washing cycles, reducing loft and thermal performance over time. The ball fibre construction used in this duvet is specified to maintain even distribution and recover loft through multiple machine wash cycles, extending the usable life of the duvet in care home environments where bedding is laundered frequently.
Is this duvet compliant with CQC fire safety inspection requirements?
Yes. The duvet holds BS 7175 flame retardant certification, which meets the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requirement for FR bedding in care homes. CQC assessors check that bedding in use across a care home carries appropriate FR certification. Retaining product documentation and the BS 7175 certificate on site supports a compliant response during inspection.
