Mouka equips world-class lab to conduct performance assessment
By Felicia Nwosu
Committed to adding comfort to life and helping consumers enjoy their dream bed, leading Mattress brand Mouka, recently equipped its world-class laboratory with two additional machines to enable it conduct a holistic performance assessment on mattresses. It was installed in a purpose-built facility within its headquarters in Lagos to give the mattress manufacturer a further edge above other players.
David Onyemata, the Head of Manufacturing Operations of Mouka, noted that as a company which prides itself in investing in Research and Development (R&D), quality remains the brand’s watchword. “We are constantly evaluating global R&D best practices in processing and mattress manufacture. Not only do we pay attention to every intricate detail when crafting our products, but we also subject them to thorough test protocols to ensure we are really giving our consumers the best sleep products. This has led to upgrading our laboratory with state-of-the-art equipment.”
Chimezie Nwosuagwu, the Quality Assurance, R&D, and Process Improvement Manager, while shedding light on the unique features of this technology, as well as the benefit to consumers, said: “With these machines, we can conduct holistic mattress performance assessment on mattresses. Before now, most Quality Tests were limited to lab sample foam sizes and not on full-sized mattresses.”
Mr. Nwosuagwu further added: “We can now carry out a Mattress Durability Test, which shows us mattress resistance to deflection and deformation impact of human weight and movement on the properties of the mattress during long-term use.
“We can also carry out a Mattress Hardness Value & Firmness Rating Test, which indicates the load-bearing capacity of the mattress, i.e. what body weight can this mattress support during long-term use without affecting its performance. We can even carry out a Fatigue / Height Loss Test with these machines to predict the loss in load-bearing capability and change in mattress height due to repeated load.”
The engineering expert, while underscoring the benefits of the technology to the Nigerian consumer, said: “These machines can decrypt the right mattress properties and specifications for different user needs and applications. In other words, when we say we can help you find the right mattress for you, we mean it. Also, these machines establish guidelines for mattress construction, so you are sure you get the best when buying a Mouka mattress.”
