How to choose a quality mattress for your bed - we consider all options

mattress, regardless of its "design", different from the usual tight sleeping platform that is able to bend under the weight of a person.Therefore, in principle, any mattress to some extent has orthopedic effect.But the extent to which he has a beneficial impact on our rest and sleep, depends on many factors.

From this perspective, not all modern products that are for sale in residential interiors, can be attributed to the category of "orthopedic", though old mattresses, which are flat cloth bags stuffed with cotton wool, practically nowhere to be found.

What is the difference?"This orthopedic" is not simply pressed under our weight, to form a "hole" in the center of the bed.It is characterized by a certain rigidity and elasticity, so it is insignificant deflection as design distributes the load across the entire exposure area.In addition, he repeats the contours of the body, supports the spine in a relaxed state, effectively relieve us of all the accumulated fatigue of the day and contribute to proper rest.

will understand why not with where to find such products, but which model in the series is not less attractive counterparts should be considered the best.To whom or what?Each of us has their own health problems and preferences on how to relax.Consequently, the choice of orthopedic mattress requires an individual approach.

Consider the features of its device and main characteristics, as only their knowledge will allow to determine the best option for a particular person.

There are 2 variants of execution of each and evaluate in terms of usability.

Springless

long been known construction, which is a cover, inside which there is a filler.

Springless mattresses, unlike spring more rigid.Filling them in the most diverse, and there are differences in the number of its layers, and their thickness.

Spring

In fact, it made option, the structure is a multilayer structure, covered with cover: spring block - hard cover - filler.There are two types of mattresses - with interconnected springs and independent.In the former case, certain bands are interwoven with each other, in the second - no.

there between them and the other the difference.In models with springs "dependent" of less than 1 m2, but each diameter - more (up to 10 cm).In the manufacture and the wire is thicker (section 2 - 2.2 mm).It's worth noting that all of these options have a smaller orthopedic effect.

Structures "independent" type characterized by a large number of springs, but they are smaller in diameter (less than 5.5 cm), and the wire used for them thinner (about 1.8 mm).Each group is placed in a "cover," and all these "assemblies" are fastened together.What is the advantage?At a point load distribution.This mattress repeats all the contours of the body without changing its geometry on other parts of the surface.

filler

There is enough variety of materials that are used in the manufacture of mattresses.All list does not make sense, especially since they are not so much for the budget price segment models.Basically it is a polyurethane foam, latex, coconut coir, felt, batting, wool and others.

When choosing a particular type of filler need to take into account a person's predisposition to allergies.On his body is responding?For example, some people are not recommended to sleep on mattresses in the production of which the horsehair used.

And if there are no problems with allergies, the form filler is not critical.

Elasticity

on this parameter, all mattresses is divided into 3 categories.

• Hard.Typically, this product springless.Filler - coir, sometimes with the addition of latex.But such mattresses should be used only on the advice of the attending physician.
• medium hardness.It may be either springs or without them.Common variants of filler - polyurethane foam, latex, spunbond.
• Soft.Only with springs;in most natural materials (felt, wool or something else).

also need to pay attention to the number of layers.Preference should be given a mattress with several "zones of hardness."

Dimensions

question is far from simple.

Dimensions mattresses

First , have standard dimensions, which are the most common (in "cm").The width of 120 - 160, length from 180 to 200, thickness from 3 to 15. However, on sale there are a number of models with different linear parameters.When you purchase is necessary to focus on the size of the bed, and we consider that the difference in its size and the mattress should not exceed 2 mm (recommended value) on each side.

Second , not all countries are like the Russian Federation, the metric measurement system.Therefore, looking at the price tag, indicating the size, you need to pay attention to what they are expressed - to "see" or "inches".

Case

The best option, if it is made from natural materials (linen, cotton or other).Such a case is able to pass air and gives a filler to "breathe".If it is, and synthetic fibers, their share should not exceed ½ of the total weight.Experts do not recommend to buy mattresses, which cover is made of artificial material alone.They have a negative impact on our health.

In the Russian market mattresses of different manufacturers.The range is so big that list all the model does not make sense - "treatise" about them succeed impressive.Therefore we note only the most affordable brand value (the average price category) - «Mediflex», «Askona», «Ormatek», «Atlas».

The price range is also impressive.Best-selling models are worth from 3 to 10 thousand rubles, although sales there are mattresses on the price tags that specify and 25 000 and 40 000 rubles.But this is a product not designed for the mass market, as few of our countrymen tempted for such products.

Practical advice

1. If purchased also bed (by the way, if you want to do it yourself - read), the experts recommend to buy her and the mattress from producers of one country.Then no problems with mismatched sizes.
2. Among the variety has a "special orthopedic mattresses" ie, not purchased to increase the comfort of rest, and for medicinal purposes.Without prior consultation with a doctor to buy "the best of all options" are not worth it.
3. choosing a mattress, should focus on the age of the person who will sleep on it.You can only give a general recommendation.For a child and young man, "bench" to be harder, but people of advanced years should choose softer.But it is provided that there are no health problems.

Do not forget about the physical data in the first place, about the weight.Matters and such a characteristic as the ultimate load.For some models it is 90 kg, other - 160 (on the bed).

1. Quite common is the question of which version is better - 2 orthopedic mattress for a double bed or a 1?It begs the answer - better to stay on the ground.At least because each spouse - your body structure, your weight, "dimensions".Therefore, the individual approach to the choice of mattress.In addition, if one of the spouses restless sleep, he constantly "tossing and turning", and the other will not be able to fully relax.

But there is a tradeoff.After all, we have said that in the sale is a model in which the spring units are completely independent from each other.Deformation (bursting under the weight of a person) in one part of the bed does not affect the others.Here in this embodiment, should stop.

It should be borne in mind that these items may not exist any standards, so any manufacturer, without any violations of the law, can safely position their mattresses as orthopedic.Which, by the way, all of them, and not without success, to make.So do not blindly trust the sales documentation and placards on the price tags.

Conclusion

«good" or "bad" mattresses there.Recent simply unprofitable to produce, since they will not be in demand.The main thing - to choose the model that others more suited to a person.The main criterion - comfort, without feeling any discomfort.What to consider when buying, we are told.
