The Mattress Hardness Tester is used to determine the firmness and load‑deflection characteristics of mattresses by applying controlled vertical force through a standardized loading plate. The equipment measures mattress resistance to compression, providing objective hardness values and assessing comfort, support performance, and compliance with international mattress testing standards
