The Kymdan latex foam component (usually referred to as the mattress body or core) is made from natural latex, which has been validated as natural latex through testing conducted by UL [Test report 100110071B].
A mattress cover made of high-quality material that is safe to use and is designed to fit the mattress size. The quality fabric and fitted design keep the mattress clean and better protect the mattress core without affecting the outstanding features of the Kymdan natural latex foam.
With superior quality, Kymdan natural latex mattresses embody 15 outstanding features that help Kymdan mattress products to stand out from other mattress products around the world.
In addition to the safety features, antibacterial and mold resistant features (as tested by Bureau Veritas, USA - test report: (5120)274-0161)… Kymdan foam mattresses are also fire retardant. This safety feature of Kymdan mattresses was verified through tests conducted by Bureau Veritas (USA), who performed fire-retardant tests by directly torching the mattress. The test results showed that the Kymdan mattress did not ignite and spread the flame; hence, meeting fire retardant standards 16 CFR 1632 and 16 CFR 1633 of the USA. In particular, Kymdan latex foam mattress products distributed in the Vietnam market meet fire retardant standard 16 CFR 1632 while Kymdan latex foam mattresses distributed in the US market meet fire retardant standard 16 CFR 1632 and 16 CFR 1633.
Kymdan mattresses are recommended for use by doctors specialising in the field of Osteopathy, to help support and maintain a healthy spine.
Furthermore, to keep the condition of the mattress at its best, we highly recommend the use of a Kymdan Mattress Protector. Made from quilted material, the mattress protector has 04 fasteners in the corners to fix it to the mattress surface (under the sheets), the size of the mattress protector fits the dimensions of the mattress. The Kymdan Mattress Protector is an effective way to protect the mattress from possible sources of contamination that would soil the mattress.

MOLD RESISTANT CAPABILITIES OF Kymdan MATTRESSES
Mold is widely found naturally. There are a number of molds that can cause diseases in humans and destroy products if meet favorable conditions. Some molds cause respiratory, allergic, and inflammatory diseases such as Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus brasiliensis, Talaromyces pinophilus, Chaetomium globosum, Trichoderma virens and Aureobasidium pullulans.
To determine the mold resistance of products made from plastics and polymeric materials (polymer compounds) such as latex, the ASTM G21-15 test method is used. In the test, the fungus (mold) is inoculated into the test sample; the sample will then be monitored for 4 weeks to determine if there is growth and development of fungus (mold). If after 4 weeks no fungi (mold) is found in the sample, it can then be determined that the product is mold resistant.
Kymdan mattresses products that have undergone the ASTM G21-15 test standard have shown the growth rate of fungi (mold) was 0. This means Kymdan mattresses are mold resistant and are not a suitable environment for mold to develop (following Test report (5120) 274-0161 of Bureau Veritas, USA dated 07th of December, 2020).
BACTERIA RESISTANT CAPABILITIES OF Kymdan MATTRESSES
Products made from polymeric materials have the potential to be contaminated with bacteria from the outside. Possible bacterial contamination includes harmful bacterias such as; Staphylococus Aureus and Klebsiella Pneumoniae (that are capable of causing skin infections), pneumonia, endocarditis, Escherichia Coli (which cause diarrhea and other infections when entering other areas).
The testing of a product's bacteria resistant capabilities is based on the standard JIS Z 2801, of the Japanese Standards Association. The standard was reissued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) as standard ISO 22196. This standard was used to develop test method 22196-2011. According to this standard, test results showing a value of >2 are considered to be resistant to bacteria.
For Kymdan mattress products, the bacteria resistant index from test result (following Test report (5120)274-0161 of Bureau Veritas, USA dated 07th of December, 2020) was as follows:
Staphylococus Aureus: 3.8,
Escherichia Coli: 5.7,
Klebsiella Pneumoniae: 3.2
This result shows that Kymdan mattress products are bacteria resistant.
