Beware of Rogue Mattress Traders: Protect Your Investment and Safety with NBF-Approved Products

At The Bed Post, a trusted bed and mattress retailer with branches across the South East, Kent, and Surrey, we take pride in being a member of the National Bed Federation (NBF). Our commitment to quality and safety means that all our mattresses meet strict NBF standards, ensuring that our customers receive products that are safe, durable, and compliant with UK fire safety regulations.

Unfortunately, rogue traders selling low-quality mattresses from vans remain an issue across the country. Often disguised as "bargain deals" or "surplus stock," these mattresses are presented with convincing stories, company logos, and even fake NBF labels, but they are far from the high standards customers expect.

At best, these mattresses may be cheaply constructed and lack essential safety measures. At worst, they could contain used springs and unclean fillings, failing to meet UK flammability standards. It’s easy to be drawn in by low prices, but the reality is that these purchases may be both unsafe and poor value.

To protect yourself, always choose a reputable retailer like The Bed Post, where products are certified by the NBF. When in doubt, look for the ‘made by an approved NBF member’ logo, check the bedfed.org.uk website, or call the NBF directly. And if you encounter rogue traders, report them to Citizen’s Advice Consumer Service or Action Fraud UK.

Your safety and satisfaction are our priority. We’re here to provide you with the peace of mind that comes with purchasing a mattress that’s genuinely built to last, meets British standards, and is a true investment in your comfort and wellbeing.
