The rancid bedding is being touted as “top quality” by doorstep con artists but in fact contains a deadly foam that could burst into flames at the slightest spark, according to trading standard officials. The fake mattresses are often simply old and discarded mattresses that have been recovered and repackaged to look like new Dodgy dealers are even using genuine brand names on the mattresses
Most have been dragged been dragged from skips and rubbish tips after being dumped and are swamped in bodily fluids after years of use. The gangs “refurbish” them and turn up in vans to sell them on people’s doorsteps. The scam, which has been reported across the UK, has worried officials concerned that hard-up parents might buy one of the cut-price mattresses for their children. Some tricksters are even painting brand names of respected bedding companies on the sides of their vans to fool people, wrapping the mattresses in phoney branding to pass them off as the genuine article. Other gangsters are smuggling nightmare mattresses into Britain without proper safety certificates and re-packaging them as new. Some of the “fly-by night”sellers say they’ve done a deal with hotels who have over-ordered and have stock “going cheap”, officials said. The Local Government Association, the body for councils in England and Wales, has warned that the scammers are selling mattresses that have been condemned and thrown away.
Devon and Somerset Trading Standards said it has handled more than 20 complaints about mattress scams in the last few months, compared to just two in the same period in 2014. In April, Dorset County Council prosecuted a man for possessing 213 mattresses that failed fire safety tests. And in March, Enfield Council successfully prosecuted a father and son for using fake “Dreams” trademarks. don't let the bed bugs bite! OAP Mail 'con' fury Councils in Norfolk and Wiltshire also say they have received a number of complaints about mattress sellers this year. David Bull, head of Leicestershire County Council’s Trading Standards Service, said his team had received numerous reports of ‘”cold callers selling mattresses from the back of vans at low prices”. He added: “Our investigations have found that some mattresses being sold on the door step did not comply with the British Safety standard. “Sellers will claim that the consumer is getting a bargain and usually claim the mattresses are of a far superior quality than they are.
“Our advice is not to buy from the back of van, as you cannot be sure they have been manufactured in a safe and regulated manner.” Upholstered furniture is subject to strict safety standards. Regulations cover the flammability of all upholstered furniture including beds, sofa beds, cots, cushions, and mattresses. In general, the laws require that upholstery must pass tests to prove it cannot be set alight by dropped cigarettes, while fillings must be fire retardant. Used furniture must meet the same standards as new furniture on sale in the shops. Joe Orson, Leicestershire County Council cabinet member for Trading Standards, said: “Our concerns are whether these mattresses are safe products. Brits are being warned about dodgy dealers selling cheap unsafe mattresses door-to-door “There are strict flammability requirements regarding the materials that can be used, which provide protection by limiting fumes and flames in the event of a fire. “These cheaper mattresses have mostly been manufactured without any thought to safety.”
On the doorstep, sellers often hand professional-looking paperwork to buyers, a spokesman from Devon Trading Standards said. But the documents normally contains false or limited contact details which makes it almost impossible for a consumer to get their money back under the 14-day “cooling off period”. Simon Blackburn, chairman of the LGA’s safer and stronger communities board, warned: “These fly-by-night sellers don’t care about the risks these mattresses pose – they just want to make a quick buck and leave you with phoney details so they can’t be traced. “These unscrupulous traders have no interest in the safety of the products and have taken to selling mattresses which could create a fireball in people’s homes if they catch light. “These mattresses may be described as memory foam but are carefully wrapped so you have no idea what you are buying. “They generally fail fire safety tests and are often worn-out, dirty and unhygienic items destined for the tip.”
