- 08.03.2023
The quality of sleep has a great influence on the physical and psycho-emotional state of a person. After a good night's sleep he feels healthy, rested and full of energy to start a new day of work. But poor quality sleep caused by an uncomfortable mattress can cause bad moods, insomnia, and spinal problems. That is why it is so important to choose the right mattress for your bed.
The most popular today are considered orthopedic mattresses. Although they cost more than usual, but the price is justified by the quality. And a regular rest on such products favorably affects the spine. When choosing, you should consider the size, rigidity, hypoallergenic and hygienic. The material should be breathable and should not accumulate moisture. In addition you will need to determine the type of orthopedic mattress. They can be spring and no spring. Below we will consider the features and advantages of each of them.
Spring mattresses
Orthopedic spring mattresses come in two types: with a block of independent springs and on Bonnell springs. Bonnell systems are quite common, since they have a budget price. In them, one spring is interlocked with the neighboring and the result is a mesh, which is dressed in a special cover. Additionally, polyurethane inserts can be used. Mattresses are rigid, but not durable. Over time, the mesh deforms and the springs begin to creak.
But the mattresses equipped with a block of independent springs - Pocket Spring, have a long service life. In them, each spring is dressed in a special fabric bag. Due to the fact that between them there is no steel joints, the mattress is silent, comfortable for sleeping, takes the shape of the body of the sleeping person.
The quality of the product will be influenced by the number of springs per square meter. Good mattresses have 256 or 512 springs, the elite ones have 1000-2000 springs per square meter. Between the shell and the springs the manufacturers usually put the fillers: foam rubber, latex, etc. They have such mattresses and disadvantages: they quickly accumulate dust and static electricity, if exposed to moisture springs can rust.
Advantages of springless mattresses
In such mattresses there are no metal springs, and the design consists of a filler, so large double mattresses are most often springless.
As for the filler, it can be:
- latex: elastic and comfortable material, which is produced from the sap of the rubber tree. Characterized by hygienic and hypoallergenic;
- Coconut coir: a natural material. Characterized by stiffness, so it is often used in children's mattresses. There are combined products with coconut and latex;
- Memoryform: a soft artificial material with memory. It «remembers» the contours of the human body and quickly restores its shape;
- foam rubber - a medium-hard filler, used in inexpensive products;
- Fibrous struttofiber: the material makes the mattress warmer;
- technogel: gives the sensation of coolness.
The products are distinguished by a long service life - about 15 years, noiselessness, as well as high orthopedic properties. They do not accumulate dust and static electricity, in case of moisture quickly dry out, fungus and other microorganisms do not breed in them.
Spring-less mattresses are considered to be the ideal option for creating a comfortable 2-bed for people with different weight, build and needs. Thanks to the effect of «a thousand springs» on such a mattress, everyone who sleeps will feel comfortable.
