Waterproof Flame Retardant Pillows — PU Coated, BS 7175 Compliant, Single or Bulk
When a pillow needs to do more than just support a head — when it has to withstand fluid exposure, resist ignition, and survive a commercial laundry regime — a standard hollowfibre pillow simply isn't up to the job. These waterproof flame retardant pillows are built specifically for environments where safety compliance isn't optional and hygiene standards are non-negotiable.
The outer cover is coated in premium polyurethane (PU), making it fully wipeable and resistant to fluid penetration — the kind of thing that matters in a hospital ward, care home bedroom, or supported living facility. Inside, the FR-treated 100% polyester hollowfibre filling meets British Standard BS 7175:1989 Section 3, meaning each pillow has been independently tested and certified to comply with UK fire safety requirements. That's not a marketing claim — it's a documented standard you can reference in a procurement audit.
What sets these apart from cheaper FR options is the finish. The PU coating has been treated to give a genuinely soft, low-noise feel — residents and guests won't notice any crinkle or stiffness, just a comfortable night's sleep that happens to be fully compliant. Whether you need a single replacement or a case of 100 for a full ward restock, the price per unit stays the same.

Key Benefits
The hollowfibre fill traps air within each individual fibre, which gives these pillows their warmth without bulk — lighter than a traditional pillow, but with enough loft to hold shape through repeated use. Because the filling is FR-treated at fibre level rather than surface-treated after manufacture, the flame retardant performance doesn't degrade with cleaning. Wipe the cover down between uses, and the pillow continues to perform exactly as tested.
Anti-allergenic construction makes these suitable for residents or guests with sensitivities, reducing the risk of reaction complaints in managed accommodation. The wipe-clean PU outer eliminates the need for pillowcases in many institutional settings, cutting laundry costs and simplifying room turnaround. For Airbnb hosts managing multiple properties, care home managers, or facilities teams working across several wards, that operational saving adds up.

Use Cases
These pillows are used most in settings where compliance documentation is required at point of purchase: NHS trusts, private hospitals, care homes, supported housing providers, and student accommodation. That said, they're equally practical for any property manager who wants a low-maintenance, long-lasting pillow that can be cleaned quickly between guests — Airbnb hosts and boutique B&Bs find the wipe-clean cover particularly useful for managing turnover without a full laundry cycle. If your setting requires fire safety certification and you need to order in volume, the price scales without minimums — one pillow or a hundred, same rate per unit.

FAQs
What does BS 7175:1989 Section 3 mean for these pillows?
BS 7175 is the British Standard for ignitability of bedding materials. Section 3 covers resistance to ignition from a range of flame sources. These pillows have been independently tested and certified to meet that standard — relevant for care homes, hospitals, and any setting required to demonstrate fire safety compliance in their bedding.
Can these pillows be used in care homes and hospitals?
Yes — they're specifically designed for institutional use. The PU outer is fluid-resistant and wipe-clean, the filling meets BS 7175 Section 3, and the anti-allergenic construction is suitable for vulnerable residents. Many NHS trusts and private care providers use this range.
Does the flame retardant treatment last over time?
Because the filling is FR-treated at the fibre level — not surface-sprayed after manufacture — the flame retardant property is inherent to the material and does not wash out or degrade with normal use. Wipe-clean care keeps the outer cover performing as intended.
Is there a minimum order?
No minimum. You can order a single pillow at the same unit price as a pack of 100. If you're ordering 50 or more and want to discuss delivery scheduling or a standing order arrangement, call the trade team on 01204 896528.
Are these suitable for Airbnb or short-let properties?
Practical choice for short-let hosts — the wipe-clean cover means you can clean between guests without running a full laundry cycle, and the FR compliance gives you a documented safety standard if you ever need to evidence it. Available in any quantity from one upwards.
