1、Designation: F 1085 03aAn American National StandardStandard Specification forMattress and Box Springs for Use in Berths in MarineVessels1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 1085; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the cas
2、e of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification provides the requirements for mat-tresses and box springs that are for
3、use in berths for officers,crew, and passengers in marine vessels. This shall be consid-ered a minimum standard.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard. The values given in parentheses, in inch-pound units,are for information only.1.3 This standard is used to measure and
4、describe theresponse of materials, products, or assemblies to heat andflame under controlled conditions, but does not by itselfincorporate all factors required for fire-hazard or fire-riskassessment of the materials, products, or assemblies underactual fire conditions.1.4 This standard does not purp
5、ort to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Theselection shall be of good quality suitable for commercial useand for use aboard U.S. Navy vessels.4.1.4 When first article
24、 of inspection is required, it shall bespelled out in the paperwork.5. Materials and Manufacture5.1 Innerspring MattressThe essential components of aninnerspring mattress are: an innerspring core, cushioning,upholstery ticking (either quilted or with a smooth top, andpotentially including a flange),
25、 and a border. Optional compo-nents include various insulating layers or pads, flanges, andtapes. All materials used shall meet the mechanical propertyand fire performance requirements of Table 1. All materialsused shall comply with appropriate commercial bedding indus-try standards of manufacture a
26、nd durability. Any constructionof an innerspring mattress that is suitable for its intended useand that complies with the performance requirements shownherein shall be permitted to be used.5.1.1 Innerspring CoreThe innerspring core shall be con-structed from an all-wire carbon steel. The coils shall
27、 extendthe full length and width of the mattress. The coils shall bepermanently secured to provide long-term structural stability.Various core designs shall be permitted. The support propertiesof the innerspring core, in terms of firmness rating, durability,resistance to impact, firmness retention,
28、and surface deforma-tion, shall be assessed by Test Methods F 1566. The coils, orthe complete spring unit assembly, shall be given suitablethermal treatment to relieve residual stresses caused by coiling.5.1.2 Cushioning and Insulator LayersAn insulator padshall be placed over each sleeping surface
29、of the innerspringcore to insulate the upholstery from the core. The variouscushioning layers shall be constructed of materials that meetthe performance requirements of Table 1.5.1.3 Ticking and Cover AssemblyThe cover constructionshall be suitable for the type of mattress construction used.Upholste
30、ry ticking materials shall be durable, per commonbedding industry practices. The ticking for each sleepingsurface shall be cut in one piece without fabric splices. Theticking for the mattress border shall be made of not more thantwo pieces of ticking, with the ends spliced and sewn togetherin a cont
31、inuous manner leaving no gaps or voids in uniformityand finish. The border assembly shall be secured to the top andbottom sleeping surfaces of the mattress, by automatic sewing,per common bedding industry practices.5.1.4 BorderThe ticking for the mattress border shall bemade of not more than two pie
32、ces of ticking, with the endsspliced and sewn together in a continuous manner leaving nogaps or voids in uniformity and finish. The border assemblyshall be secured to the top and bottom sleeping surfaces of themattress, by automatic sewing, per common bedding industrypractices.5.1.5 TapeA tape shall
33、 be permitted to be used to concealthe seams formed between the border, if present, and anupholstery panel. The tape shall be continuously stitched alongthe total length of each seam, with no gaps or voids betweenthe upholstery panel and border surfaces.7Available from National Fire Protection Assoc
