For a long time it has been proved that from the fact how well a person sleeps, his mood, ability to work and well-being depend on him. And the quality of sleep is directly related to the mattress. So which mattress to choose for a bed so that the rest on it gave us strength and energy for the whole subsequent day?
How to choose a good mattress?
Before you start choosing, you need to carefully study all types and types of mattresses. They are basically divided into three groups: spring, springless and frame spring.
Spring mattress is the most affordable and economical option. It is made on the basis of independent springs or spring blocks. The basis of spring blocks is most often springs of the "bonnel" type. It is a spring having two cones of 4-5 turns. Remember that the material of springs should be strong and high-quality. The advantages of this mattress are affordable price and the ability to use it from two sides. And the minuses are fragility, creak and minimal degree of convenience.
Mattresses with independent springs are arranged differently. Each of the springs in this mattress is in a separate bag, and these bags are fastened together. The more springs, the mattress is stronger and more comfortable. Mostly in such mattresses from 500 to 1200 springs per 1 sq. M. Disadvantages - they are relatively short-lived and have a high cost, dignity - orthopedic effect, comfort and the possibility of two-way use.
So, the answer to the question of how to choose a spring mattress starts to clear up, but it is worth paying attention to other selection criteria besides springs - filling and upholstering of mattresses. Filler for the mattress can serve as:
- latex (gives the mattress elasticity);
- batting (its minus in rolling);
- coconut coir (used for greater stiffness of the mattress);
- horsehair (if you are allergic, it is better to abandon this option);
- foam rubber.
As an upholstery mattress is better to choose a jacquard, and from a combined fiber, for example 70% cotton and 30% synthetics. Then this upholstery will be comfortable, fresh and at the same time strong and durable. Avoid buying mattresses that are clogged with a flock type fabric, this material does not breathe at all, soars, and it's hot and uncomfortable to sleep on such a mattress.
Springless mattresses
Due to their orthopedic properties, these mattresses occupy the first place in the modern market. They are soft (filler natural latex, cotton fibers, batting, wool, Memory Foam material), medium hardness (more often filled with polyurethane foam) and hard (filler coconut fiber or coir, holofayber). Advantages of springless mattresses: high ecological compatibility, high comfort, two-sidedness, durability. Disadvantages: high price.
Frame spring mattresses
This one-sided mattresses with a base of lamellas with a lattice of plywood or natural wood. The quality corresponds to the material of the substrate. Such mattresses though have a low cost, but they are short-lived, cumbersome and weigh a lot. In general, it does not really matter which company to choose a mattress, the main thing is that it was made of natural materials, breathed, did not retain moisture, it was preferably quilted (for strength) and which would have a removable cover (it's easier to check the filler).
Selecting the size and stiffness of the mattress
Before you choose the size of the mattress, measure the bed, the width and length of the mattress should match its size. If you have
And if you do not know how to choose the stiffness of the mattress, you need to understand that a hard mattress will be more needed for people who have health problems, in connection with which they are shown to sleep on a hard surface. Soft mattresses are suitable for people with a small body weight, as well as for the elderly. Well, if you are a healthy person in full bloom, get a semi-rigid mattress or whatever, the main thing is that you feel comfortable.
