I had been involved with a similar occupancy that was insured by FM
Global. I personally thought that their criteria was light for the
occupancy, but this is what they wanted. See if there is an HPR
company involved and get their take on it.

Interesting since NFPA 13 A.5.6.3 (2007) lists foam mattresses (in
finished form) as a Group A Plastic. Box springs which are mostly
wood and metal as Class III.
I would consider the foam in the sofas and probably lean toward
classifying them the same as the mattresses.
They probably looked at Furniture, with plastic coverings - Class
IV. But with foam plastic cushioning it's back to Group A plastics (sofas).
Somebody messed up. Need to remind them of Sofa World. This stuff
burns fast and hot and flows.
You need to look at the racks again too.

Subject: Mattress stroage
I am working on a bid for a warehouse. I was given a floor plan for
the new building and a copy of the fire plan from the same building
they just finished in another state.
The also sent photos of the existing building.
The pics show mattress in plastic bags staked on end all lined up in a row.
Just like in dramatic burn video I recently watched.
The other area of the warehouse has couches bagged the same way.
Sitting on 12'3" bay racks.
The sprinkler plans for the this are list it as Class IV commodity
protected with EFSR heads and no in rack system.
Even if they put the stuff back in the boxes I can't see how they a
class V commodity
Is there some thing I am missing before I call the engineer?
Thank you for your attention.
