Title: Understanding the HygeiaSleep HCP Framework: Raising the Global Standard for Mattress Hygiene

In a world where cleanliness and guest assurance are more critical than ever, HygeiaSleep has introduced the HCP Framework (HygeiaSleep Certification Program) as the gold standard for mattress hygiene across the hospitality industry.

Why the HCP Framework Exists Mattress hygiene has long been the overlooked element in accommodation cleaning routines. Yet it plays a crucial role in guest health, comfort, and trust. The HygeiaSleep HCP Framework was developed to close this gap. Backed by science and built in consultation with global hospitality experts, it provides a robust structure for raising hygiene standards and certifying properties worldwide.

The Five Pillars of the HCP Framework At the heart of the HCP Framework are five core pillars:

1. Protection – Safeguarding guests from harmful pathogens, allergens, and infestations through defined cleaning protocols and mattress care standards.
2. Prevention – Implementing proactive measures that reduce the risk of hygiene lapses, including regular training and structured maintenance routines.
3. Proof – Offering clear documentation and certification that mattress hygiene standards are being met, with each housekeeper earning individual certification.
4. People – Empowering housekeeping teams with education, accountability, and the tools to take pride in their role in guest wellness.
5. Process – Establishing a repeatable, science-backed SOP that supports long-term hygiene compliance across properties.

How the Framework Is Applied Once a hotel joins the HCP, they gain access to the entire certification ecosystem:

• Custom SOP Frameworks tailored to the size and needs of the property
• Online Housekeeper Accreditation Training (MHCP) with video-based learning and short assessments
• Certification Badges and Materials to showcase their commitment to mattress hygiene to guests and partners

Each part of the framework is designed to be accessible, scalable, and simple to implement, even for properties with limited internal resources.

Global Significance and Authority HygeiaSleep is in active discussion with hospitality regulators and tourism boards to formalize mattress hygiene standards worldwide. The HCP Framework is increasingly being recognized not just as a certification, but as an operational necessity for modern hospitality providers.

Why It Matters 80% of accommodation providers currently fall below mattress hygiene standards. The HygeiaSleep HCP Framework isn't just a certification; it's a movement toward a healthier, more trustworthy guest experience. In an era of growing scrutiny from guests, travel influencers, and government bodies alike, certified hygiene is no longer optional—it's expected.

Join the Movement Hotels that implement the HCP Framework demonstrate more than compliance—they showcase leadership. As global awareness of hygiene increases, those adopting the HCP standard are future-proofing their brand, building trust with guests, and supporting the long-term health of their operations.
