Mouka, Nigeria’s leading manufacturer of mattresses, pillows and other bedding products has made efforts to deepen its quality mandate as it recently acquired and installed two additional machines in its headquarters in Lagos.
David Onyemata, Head of Manufacturing Operations, Mouka, said the company is constantly evaluating global research and development best practices in mattress production which inspired the investments.
“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,” Onyemata said.
Chimezie Nwosuagwu, Research And Development & Quality Assurance Manager, Mouka, said with these machines, the company can conduct holistic mattress performance assessment on products, adding that initially most quality tests were limited to lab sample foam sizes.
“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, mattress hardness value & firmness rating test, which indicates the load-bearing capacity of the mattress,” he said.
