What is BS EN 13855-2 - Measurement of thickness and compressibility of cushions about?

BS EN 13855-2 is a European standard that discusses the measurement of thickness and compressibility of cushions. BS EN 13855-2 defines a method for testing the behaviour to the durability of a cushion solely filled with feather and/or down, considered in its primary tick.

Who is BS EN 13855-2 - Measurement of thickness and compressibility of cushions for?

BS EN 13855-2 on measurement of thickness and compressibility of cushions is useful for:

Manufacturers of articles filled with feather and down
Professionals who are involved in analysis and testing
Designers

Why should you use BS EN 13855-2 - Measurement of thickness and compressibility of cushions?

When evaluating a cushion product for use in a comfort application, perhaps the most useful testing value for measuring the thickness and compressibility of the cushion its usability is compression strength.

Knowing how to measure of thickness and compressibility of cushions can make selecting the right material much easier, which can save you time, effort, and even money.

Maintaining this consistency across a method for testing the behaviour to the durability of a cushion solely filled with feather and/or down, considered in its primary tick is important because cushion materials can bear weight and pressure differently depending on thickness and size, even if the sample is cut from the same bulk material. BS EN 13855-2 help you to ensure the quality of articles filled with feathers and down by testing the behaviour to the durability.
