Flame Retardant Flat Sheets — BS 7175 Crib 7 Certified, 9 Colours
When a care home, hospital, or managed property needs flat sheets that meet fire safety standards — not just claim to — the certification number is what matters. These flame retardant flat sheets are independently accredited to BS 7175 Source (Crib) 7, the higher of the two main BS 7175 ratings and the standard specified in most NHS, local authority, and registered care procurement frameworks.
The FR property is inherent to the 100% polyester fabric — built into the fibre at manufacture, not treated onto the surface afterwards. That means it doesn't diminish with washing. Run these through a commercial laundry cycle week after week, and the flame retardant performance remains exactly as certified. Available in single and double, in packs from one sheet to ten, with no minimum order. Call 01204 896528 for trade or wholesale enquiries. If you're outfitting a care home or hospital across multiple rooms, explore our full range of BS 7175 certified bedding — from FR duvet covers and fitted sheets to FR pillowcases — all independently certified to Crib 7.
Key Benefits
Inherent FR construction removes the compliance uncertainty that comes with surface-treated alternatives — there's no degradation over time, no re-treatment required, and no awkward conversation during a fire safety audit. Eight colours give you flexibility across different settings: white and cream for clinical environments, navy, wine, and dark green for care home bedrooms that benefit from a warmer feel, and pastel shades where a softer atmosphere is preferred. Every shade carries identical Crib 7 certification — no compromise on compliance for colour choice. Anti-allergenic throughout, machine washable, tumble-dry safe on medium to cool heat.

Use Cases
The primary buyers are care homes, hospitals, supported housing providers, and HMO landlords where FR bedding is either a procurement requirement or a licence condition. These flat sheets are also used in student accommodation and hotel settings where Crib 7 compliance is specified at contract level. For retail buyers — homeowners wanting certified bedding, or families buying for a vulnerable relative in a care setting — the no-minimum model means you can order a single sheet at the same unit price as a pack of ten. Manufactured and supplied direct from Bolton, so you're not paying a distributor's margin on top.

FAQs
What does BS 7175 Crib 7 mean for flat sheets?
BS 7175 is the British Standard for ignitability of bedding materials. Crib 7 refers to the ignition source used in testing — it's the more demanding of the two main ratings (Crib 5 and Crib 7) and the one most institutional procurement frameworks require. These sheets have been independently tested and accredited to that standard.
Will the flame retardant property wash out over time?
No. The FR performance is inherent to the polyester fibre — it's part of the material, not a finish applied afterwards. Regular machine washing won't reduce or remove it.
Do all eight colours carry the same Crib 7 certification?
Yes — every colour in the range has been independently tested to BS 7175 Crib 7. The certification doesn't vary by shade.
Are these suitable for care homes and NHS settings?
Yes. Crib 7 is the standard most NHS trusts and registered care providers specify in their procurement requirements. These sheets meet it, with independent accreditation to confirm.
What's the minimum order?
No minimum. One sheet or ten — same unit price. We supply retail and wholesale direct from our Bolton warehouse.
