We select an orthopedic mattress for the bed according to all the rules. What you should pay attention to? Mattress rating How to choose the right sleeping mattress for the bed
An orthopedic mattress helps to provide comfort and has a healing effect on the spinal column. The principle of its action is to create the correct position of the spine during sleep, preventing its curvature, strengthening, or vice versa, smoothing of natural curves (kyphosis and lordosis). To do this, the mattress must take the shape of the human body.
AT modern world the human spinal column during the day has a huge load - forced postures while working at a computer, household chores and at work, sports loads, especially shock. Even walking on two legs already endows the spine with a supporting function that is difficult to maintain. And overweight, posture disorders, osteoporosis increase the risk of serious pathologies. Night sleep should be the most beneficial for the spine. This requires proper posture and good cushioning. The state of other organs and systems of the body directly depends on the spine.
Types of orthopedic mattresses
Incorrect and correct position of the spine on the mattress.Mattresses can be spring and springless.
- Springless mattresses instead of springs consist of elastic porous materials, a cover is put on top.
- Spring mattresses. This type is divided into mattresses with dependent spring blocks and independent ones.
- The dependent block (“bonnel”) implies that if you press on one area of the mattress, then the pressure will spread to the neighboring ones, since the springs are rigidly connected in rows. Products of this type have the effect of a hammock. These mattresses quickly become unusable, for the price they are the cheapest.
- Independent blocks consist of springs that are not connected to each other, isolated in separate covers. That is why if such a mattress is used on a double bed, the movement of one of the people will not be transmitted through the mattress by vibration. Products with independent spring blocks are divided into two types: the independent spring block itself (SPB) and the multipack. In the first, the number of springs per 1 m² is 256, in the second - from 500 to 1100. The higher this figure, the better. Mattresses with an independent spring block can have different degrees of hardness (soft, medium, high). Even in one mattress it is possible to combine different degrees of rigidity.
Mattress fillers
All mattresses, both spring and springless, contain fillers. Medium firm and hard mattresses use natural latex. This is a fairly resilient and elastic material that can withstand great pressure, as well as restore its shape. Hard mattresses can also use coconut coir (coconut fiber impregnated with latex), it is well ventilated. There are products with wool fibers, they give a thermal effect. Other fillers are dried seaweed, cotton. Among the modern components of mattresses, polyurethane foam is popular, it has a shape memory effect. This is an artificial filler. In springless mattresses, it gives medium and high firmness, and in spring mattresses it feels soft. Polyurethane foam can also have different density: the higher it is, the longer the product lasts. It is better to purchase a mattress with a density of 40-60 kg / m³.
How to choose an orthopedic mattress for a healthy person
How to choose the firmness of the mattress and its type, depending on age, body weight, problems with the spine? While a person is growing, he is being formed musculoskeletal system(up to 25 years), it is recommended to use a mattress of medium hardness or hard. It is better for young children to purchase a hard mattress filled with coconut coir. It ensures the correct development of the spine, and thanks to such a filler it is well ventilated. After three years, it is recommended to replace the mattress with a springless one of medium hardness. Middle-aged people need to rest on a medium firm mattress, and the elderly on a soft one.
A person with an average body weight can recommend mattresses with an independent spring block filled with latex or latex with coir. If a person is thin, on a hard mattress he may be uncomfortable, more suitable soft models without coir. fat people high stiffness is recommended. These can be spring mattresses with reinforced springs. If the weight is more than 80 kg, a multipack type product will do. If you weigh more than 120 kg, you should sleep on a hard springless mattress.
If you need an economy class mattress, you can stop at a product with a dependent spring block of the “bonnel” type or a mattress from a Russian manufacturer with a latex filler.
Choosing a mattress for diseases of the spine
Orthopedic mattress with independent spring blocks. In diseases of the spine, the choice of mattress depends on the specific pathology and the problematic department.
- . If a child or teenager has a risk of developing scoliosis, hard and medium firm mattresses are suitable for its prevention. With an existing curvature of the spine, you can purchase springless or spring-loaded with an independent block, filled with latex along with coir.
- Osteochondrosis. With a spine with pain, smoothness of lordosis, it is worth choosing a soft mattress or a product with independent spring blocks. It is ideal to purchase a double-sided product with a different percentage of hardness and use a softer surface when aggravated. Asymmetric mattresses are especially relevant with. You need a medium firm mattress, in some cases hard. For any osteochondrosis with pain, it is better to pay attention to products with shape memory (latex, polyurethane foam). Due to this property, muscle tension will decrease during sleep.
If you have to choose a mattress for a double bed, and people have different builds or one of them has problems with the spine, you can order a variant with different rigidity of the two halves.
Before buying, you should try on the recommended mattress, lie down on it, removing outerwear. You need to lie down in the position in which the person is used to sleeping, if it is convenient, then turn over and follow the sensations in other positions.
Usually orthopedic mattress serves from 8 to 12 years, economy class products are less (from 3 to 5 years).
To maintain the properties of the mattress, it is important to use it correctly. The mattress must be used on a flat, firm surface or orthopedic base. It has the form of a lattice consisting of solid curved crossbars. The size of the mattress, or rather its length, also matters. It should be 15 cm more than a person's height. In order for the mattress to serve for a long time, it must be turned over once every 6 months.
It is worth remembering that the choice of an orthopedic mattress for a particular person depends on many factors, including weight, height, age, and the presence of spinal pathology. Proper use of the product will allow you to get the most out of it.
STB TV channel, in the program "Everything will be fine" a story on the topic "How to choose an orthopedic mattress" (Russian-Ukrainian):
The first channel, in the Good Morning program, has a video about what to look for when buying an orthopedic mattress:
Almost a third of their lives people spend in a dream. The level of comfort and relaxation often depends on how comfortable the bed and the mattress on it are. Therefore, the discussion and resolution of the question of how to choose a mattress for a bed is important for every person, his good rest, health and well-being.
Types of mattresses
A properly selected mattress will provide the lying person with quality rest and maximum comfort.
Conventionally, mattresses are divided into 2 types:
- Spring, whose orthopedic properties depend on the number of springs. They, in turn, are divided into models with a dependent and independent block.
- Springless(with synthetic or natural filler).
Spring systems
Dependent spring block - a system consisting of two springs connected by a frame. This is the simplest and most inexpensive technology that has many advantages:
- orthopedic properties are high;
- can withstand sufficient load;
- small cost.
Disadvantages of such systems:
- the appearance of rust on the springs;
- accumulation of dust and electromagnetic waves inside;
- the appearance of creaking sounds;
- sagging of the mattress over time, which causes inconvenience.
An independent spring mattress is structurally composed of a large number of springs packed individually in covers. Due to this feature, the appearance of squeaks during operation is excluded. Guarantee period designs - about 10 years.
Spring options:
- TFK, in which there are 250 springs per 1 sq.m.
- "Bee honeycombs" - more rigid and dense, 300 pieces per 1 sq.m.
- Springs S1000 - have 500 pieces, each 4 cm long - due to small size springs, the product is more elastic and able to withstand a greater load.
- Dual Spring - consists of blocks of double springs, perfect option for spouses of different weights: a heavier family member presses only on the outer springs, while the inner springs prevent more from rolling lung man to the center.
- Multi-zone spring blocks - a kind of product that combines springs of different stiffness: soft - for the head and legs, hard - for the pelvic part of the body (the number of zones is not more than 7).
Springless types
These types of bed mattresses are more modern and differ in fillers, which can be of synthetic or natural origin. Many products use the alternation of different layers with different fillers, which increases the comfort of sleep.
Advantages of the springless type:
- high comfort;
- no squeaks;
- good orthopedic qualities;
- even distribution of the load of a lying person.
Among the shortcomings, one can single out only a higher cost and the fact that a person needs a certain period for adaptation.
Air mattress
One of the varieties of cheap products that are popular with students or tourists is an inflatable mattress bed, which is made of PVC. When folded, it takes up very little space, at any time it can be inflated and used as a bed, on which the bed is simply spread. It is also often used in backpacking trips or for beach holidays (even in the water).
Mattress fillers
Knowing the main types and properties of fillers, a person can already decide which mattress to choose for a bed and what characteristics it should have. It is the filler that gives the product some of the properties necessary for a comfortable sleep. There are cheaper and more expensive types of fillers, on which the final price of the mattress depends. The most inexpensive are made from synthetic material, while products made from natural raw materials are more expensive.
Types of fillers:
- Foam rubber is an inexpensive synthetic material of medium hardness.
- Latex is a natural material (by 20%), obtained by foaming the juice of a hevea (rubber tree). Such products are able to withstand a lot of weight, have good elasticity, but can cause allergies.
- artificial latex- has greater rigidity and elasticity, is more affordable, the main advantage: it is ideal for a person with a lot of weight or with diseases of the spine.
- Coconut coir is a natural material, quite hard, orthopedic mattresses are made from it, it passes air well, due to which it is recommended for children under 2 years old.
- Sisal - agave tree fibers are used, the qualities are similar to the previous one.
- Polyurethane foam or memoryform- synthetic substances, very elastic, durable and hypoallergenic, the second type can "remember" the shape of the body.
- Pressed cotton- natural filler, suitable for a comfortable stay.
- Struttofiber - is combined from wool, synthetic fibers and cotton, has an average rigidity, takes an average position at a price.
The most common options are combined types mattresses:
- spring with a layer of foam rubber;
- spring with a layer of latex (suitable for people with low weight);
- spring combined with layers of coconut and latex (more durable, average in price);
- combining coconut and latex is a tough option;
- "vacuum" - made of polyurethane foam, they are of different stiffness, inexpensive;
- with independent springs and coconut coir - have high rigidity and elasticity, withstand heavy weight;
- independent springs and technogel (gel that gives a feeling of coolness) - perfect for the hot season.
On video: all about the types of mattresses and fillers.
Selection methods
To know how to choose the right mattress for a bed, you must first try to lie on it, paying attention to many factors:
- check its rigidity, bending for a feeling of comfort when lying;
- ask the consultant in detail about the filler of the selected product;
- it must be borne in mind that natural substances that are poorly processed can cause an allergic reaction;
- is there a cover on the mattress and can it be removed and washed;
- in some high quality products, double-sided covers are made - one side warms in winter, the other - for a hotter summer.
Right size
When replacing an old mattress with a new one, in no case should you change the old one, because. he could be deformed. Before buying and going to the store, you need to make measurements along the inner perimeter of the bed. If the size turns out to be non-standard, then we must remember that a difference of 1 cm is allowed, and with a larger one, you will have to order the product according to non-standard sizes.
The country of origin should also be taken into account: European varieties are measured in cm, American varieties are measured in inches, so when converted to cm, non-integer numbers are obtained (they have a non-standard size).
Product rigidity
For a comfortable sleep, it is necessary that the spine is placed in a straight line, the mattress takes the shape of the body. With high rigidity, the shoulders and hips experience the load, with greater softness of the product, the spine bends. The question of how to choose a good mattress according to a person’s weight can be answered based on the direct relationship between weight and stiffness:
- with a weight of less than 55 kg - a soft mattress is suitable;
- within 50-90 kg - with medium hardness;
- more than 90 kg - the product must have high rigidity.
Mattress upholstery
The upholstery of the mattress also has its own characteristics and affects the life of the product and its appearance. For upholstery, natural or synthetic fabrics are usually used, which may vary in density and quality. It is clear that the higher the density of the fabric, the more durable it is.
It is also worth asking the seller about the dust-repellent properties of the fabric, which is one of the advantages. Its breathability, strength properties, and the likelihood of an allergic reaction are important.
Mattress on a double bed
Choosing a mattress for a matrimonial bed is much more difficult, because. it is necessary to take into account the desires and comfort for two different people, incl. health status, feelings of comfort. According to statistics, any mattress needs to be changed on average every 10 years, although for different types wear resistance may vary.
Some signs that indicate the need for replacement:
- solid elements (springs) are felt through the mattress fabric;
- the surface bends, due to which the spine is bent;
- there are uneven places or dips that cause discomfort;
- the product has become more rigid, which does not allow the body to relax;
- a person in a dream rolls to the edge or center of the mattress;
- springs creak or there are unpleasant sounds when turning the body;
- There were scuffs and signs of wear on the surface of the fabric.
The nuances of choosing a double mattress:
- You can not use 2 single products, because a gap will begin to form between them quite quickly.
- When buying a bed, it is not recommended to take a mattress in the kit, because. it may not fit or be of poor quality.
- You need to look at the name of the company that launched the products: well-known companies produce quality products with a longer shelf life.
- If you have the funds, it is better to choose an orthopedic mattress (non-spring).
Varieties of double blocks
Spring with dependent springs - the cheapest, but not very a good choice, because over time, two sleeping people begin to roll towards the center. Also, such a block does not distribute body weight, which can lead to poor sleep quality and diseases of the spine. A block with independent springs is a more orthopedic design.
There is also a springless block with several layers of different fillers that create the greatest possible comfort for people of various physiques. There is also a combined product that combines independent springs and layers of various fillers that allow you to adjust its rigidity.
What are the mattresses for double beds:
- With different stiffness and type of coating on different sides - they can be turned over at the preferences of the spouses.
- With the DS block, which is made of double springs: the outer is soft (holds light weight), the inner is small, hard - takes on a lot of weight. This mattress is ideal for spouses in different weight categories.
- A product in which one half is less rigid and the other half is more rigid is similarly intended for spouses with different weights.
- A combined mattress with asymmetric filling (latex or coconut fibers combined with a block of independent springs) has excellent orthopedic properties, and the difference in fillings will ensure comfort for both spouses.
- Hour Glass product, having springs with different levels of rigidity.
Having studied all the above rules, each person now knows how to choose a mattress. In bed, he should feel comfort and pleasant relaxation of the whole body in order to wake up cheerful and in a good mood in the morning.
Year after year, the Toris research center has created dozens of new mattress models to meet ever-increasing demands for sleeping comfort. Using world experience and own developments, Toris today offers a unique the method of selecting a mattress according to the individual characteristics of a person: weight, height, age, sex, etc. Now you can easily and simply find for yourself the optimal mattress model that meets your needs and wishes. In this area, this approach was applied for the first time and gave an amazing result: our customers are consistently satisfied.
People are so different, they differ from each other by sex, size, weight, age, habits and many, many more. That is why there are so many sizes and styles when choosing clothes and shoes. The mattress is considered to be something universal, “one cut”, equally suitable for everyone and everyone, that only the cost and quality of its fillers can determine how comfortable your sleep will be. It was until today. From now on, the mattress will be just ... yours, that is, selected according to your individual parameters: height, weight, age, gender, etc. He must "know" all your habits, serve as a proper support for the spine. A properly selected mattress will give you a wonderful sleep and an unforgettable rest, and as a result
- You will look and feel better
- You will feel a surge of energy and vitality
- You will slow down the aging process of your body
In order for your sleep to be truly healthy and comfortable, the mattress must perform two main functions:
- Remove the load from the spine, evenly support it. In this case, normal metabolism is restored in the intervertebral discs, which play the role of shock absorbers. As a result, the risk of back pain and spinal diseases (especially osteochondrosis) is significantly reduced.
- Eliminate soft tissue compression that prevents the free circulation of blood and lymph.Such squeezing is the cause of frequent turning over and, as a result, inadequate sleep.
The implementation of the first function, namely, the prevention of spinal deformities and maintaining it in a physiologically correct state during sleep and rest is called the orthopedic effect, and the mattress itself is orthopedic. The more accurately the design of the mattress repeats the contours of your body and supports it evenly, the better the orthopedic effect is manifested and the higher the class of the mattress. It is important to remember that the manifestation of the orthopedic effect is individual and is determined by a couple: specifically your body + mattress.
That is why it is so important to choose the right carrier system of the mattress, its core. The carrier system determines the orthopedic effect, which can be conditionally divided into the following levels: average, good, excellent, excellent.
Carrier systems are spring and springless. In the first case, the level of orthopedic effect directly depends on the number of springs per unit area. Such mattresses can be based on a block of independent or dependent springs.
Springless mattresses, in turn, are based on synthetic or natural materials.
So, the choice of the carrier system. The carrier system is selected in accordance with the main individual characteristics: height, weight, age, gender, physique, and even your favorite sleeping position. For correct selection its degree of rigidity (version), you must calculate your individual load index. Note that if the mattress is intended for two, the index is calculated for each person separately.
Load index = (Weight in kg / (Height in meters) 2) * K in * K p
|
where K in- coefficient taking into account age
The older the person, the softer the carrier system should be. |
where K p- coefficient taking into account the preferred position for sleeping
|
The result obtained determines the version of the carrier system

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
You then need to determine the preferred level of prosthetic effect and adjust the calculated degree of stiffness (option) of the carrier system to match. It is important to remember that the higher the level of orthopedic effect, the higher the cost of the mattress.
The second main function of the mattress is to ensure the free circulation of blood and lymph in the soft tissues of your body is performed by the system of fillers. How soft or hard it should be depends on your individual preferences, and first of all on the most comfortable position for you during sleep and rest. If you usually sleep on your sideAs with the selection of the carrier system, if you usually sleep on your side, a softer padding system is recommended for you. Let us illustrate this with the readings of the ErgoCheck test system. This sensor system allows you to take a three-dimensional "body snapshot" with color highlighting of zones of different pressure. light green and green colors indicate zones of low pressure, yellow - normal, red - acceptable, blue - unacceptable.

How to choose a mattress for a bed, what kind of filler, coating to use? Choose orthopedic or simple? What are the types of bed mattresses? We will try to answer all these questions in this article.
Choose a comfortable mattress according to your preferences
A mattress is an element of our home that can give us a wonderful rest, so its choice should be approached with all responsibility
Accurate measurements are the first step to a successful purchase. How to take measurements and get a quality product? It is enough to follow a few rules.
Dimensions must be selected taking into account the characteristics of your bed
There are several measurement options.
The standard value by European standards is 80-200 centimeters. The height is chosen based on their own wishes. According to the standard, it is from 5 to 50 centimeters. Depends on the height of the spring block. There are thin designs, they are used to cover the main one, so that it is more comfortable to sleep. Experts have established that a comfortable height is 16-18 centimeters. You can determine the height, given the deepening of the bed.
Different standard sizes fit for different occasions
Expert opinion - buy suitable option You can do it without using a tape measure. There are two solutions.
- Buy a bed with a mattress from one manufacturer. If the purchase is not possible at the same time, order from the manufacturer of the bed. This ensures that it will fit perfectly.
- It is impossible to buy at the same time, then we measure, order according to our sizes. It is better to use the services of a domestic factory. First, the prices are moderate. Secondly: it will meet the assigned requirements, it will fit 100%. European manufacturers also manufacture to customer sizes, but this is a little expensive in terms of budget.
Most furniture and mattress manufacturers produce products in standard sizes.
Types of structures: spring and springless
There is no particular difference between spring and springless mattresses in terms of providing favorable conditions for your sleep.
It's not easy to choose. There are several types, each is unique in its own way. To stop at one, you need to study the characteristics of each.
Spring and springless types are very popular. They are divided into subspecies.
Spring blocks are directly responsible for providing proper body support in a spring mattress, and the main load falls on them.
The spring structure is dependent and independent.
Natural or artificial fillers - which one to choose?
The main difference is the fillers. Which one is better - the buyer decides, starting from the budget, his own wishes. Natural materials are especially popular, they are durable in use, non-allergenic, harmless to health, an ideal choice for people of different builds.
Types of natural.
Apart from natural fillers use artificial ones. Are obtained budget options, affordable, not inferior in quality.
Types of artificial fillers
The product must have a "face" that attracts consumers. Let's talk about upholstery - how to choose the right one, what to build on?
Aesthetic appearance - choose the upholstery
Each organism is individual and your main task is to choose a mattress based on individual preferences.
When choosing a mattress for a bed, the buyer pays attention to the appearance. Upholstery plays an important role. Attracting buyers, manufacturers dress products in covers of different colors, pleasant to the touch, able to last for many years. Covers are sewn from high-strength fabrics - cotton, linen, polypropylene, polyester. Mattress covers are covered with a special impregnation that will protect against an allergic reaction, dust.
The key to a comfortable sleep is rigidity
Choosing the right stiffness for yourself, you must take into account the parameters of age and weight
So that sleep does not turn into flour, you need to choose the right stiffness. How to do it, what to build on? It's simple, the stiffness indicator depends on the weight of the sleeper. Weight 55 kilograms - it is recommended to choose a soft surface, sleep will be comfortable. Sleeping on such a mattress will not feel beaten in the morning. The medium hardness product is suitable for weights from 55-90 kilograms. Finally, people with a weight of 90 kilograms can choose the hard option. It is comfortable not only to lie down, but also to sit. The edges do not bend, and the middle is not pressed through.
The best solution would be to purchase a medium-hard mattress, regardless of whether it is a spring or springless model.
Why, the buyer asks, should you choose based on your own weight? The distribution of body weight guarantees an increased level of comfort during sleep. A person weighing 100 kilograms, if he lies on a soft surface, will feel uncomfortable in the morning. Muscles, ligaments, joints will remain in a tense state, due to the large weight, the product is constantly pressed through, sags. And, on the contrary, a fragile girl weighing 48 kilograms will not be able to sleep on a hard surface. An increased load on the vertebrae, joints, and hips is the result of a health problem.
How to buy a great mattress for a double bed
The mattress flexes differently depending on the weight and position of the person.
Need a model for a large double bed? Here are the subtleties of choice. How to choose the right mattress for a double bed? The first is a particularly robust design, enduring heavy loads. How to choose if the weight of people is different? The wife has 50, and the husband has 100 kilograms. There will be a way out. Experienced specialists identify the main way out of this situation - to buy two different ones, taking into account the weight category of the sleepers.
Advantages:
- A man and a woman sleep on their own halves, keeping their personal space. By purchasing two models of different stiffness. A soft one is suitable for a woman, and a hard one for a large man. Everyone will be able to sleep with an increased level of comfort. Get rid of the gap between two products with a thin springless product, put it on top or purchase a cover that connects together.
- Buyers don't want to wake up on different mattresses? You just need to purchase a model that has two different sides with different levels of rigidity. By experiment, determine on which side it is comfortable for both spouses to sleep. An acceptable way in material terms, a way out for both spouses.

Benefits of orthopedic products
The orthopedic effect is achieved only when you use a mattress that is matched to your physical data.
How to choose an orthopedic mattress, why do we need such a design? Elementary - it allows you to sleep comfortably, without harm to health. Due to the fact that it accurately follows the contours of the human body. Relax joints, ligaments, there is no load on the vertebrae. To choose, you need to know the main condition. The more springs in the design, the better the orthopedic properties. The presence of 500 springs allows the product to follow the contours of the human body during sleep.
The main effect is in two functions.
- Repetition of the exact silhouette of a person.
- Spine support.
Having made the right choice, there is confidence that in the future there will be no troubles such as displacement of the vertebrae, intervertebral discs. Sleep is compared with sleeping on clouds, a person completely relaxes, the product follows the contours and curves of the human body. The downside of this model is one - the high cost, but it fully pays for itself.
How often to change the mattress for the bed
The durability of any spring or springless mattress depends on the quality of the manufacturer and the filler from which it consists.
The opinion of experts - it is recommended to change every 7 years, regardless of care, quality indicators. Why is a replacement necessary if it is in perfect condition? During operation, a breeding environment for dust mites and bacteria is created. Even if decent care is provided, dust mites appear over time. The result is increased allergenicity. This will lead to chronic diseases. It is impossible to believe the terms of 15-20 years. Whatever mattresses are made of, it takes a long time. The maximum allowable time for operation is 7 years, and for orthopedic latex 10 years.
The key to a comfortable sleep is a well-chosen mattress. Based on the above points, it is realistic to buy an ideal model for any buyer with a different weight category. When choosing a design, you need to remember the nuances. Otherwise, you will have to pay for a low-quality product, and sleep will become flour.

Finding a good mattress is not easy. Not only comfortable sleep, but also health depends on its quality. If you choose the right mattress, it will be a guarantee of getting rid of pain in the muscles and spine, as well as an excellent treatment for insomnia.
Before making a purchase, you need to decide which mattress is better to choose. In this case, it is necessary to take into account not only the dimensions of the bed, but also many other factors.
Criteria for choosing a mattress for a bed
To choose the right mattress, it is necessary to take into account such parameters as stiffness, filler features and dimensions.
When choosing a product, you should decide on the following criteria:
- The degree of rigidity is selected according to individual needs. Manufacturers offer mattresses with different stiffness: standard, soft or reinforced.
- It is important to measure inner dimensions beds. It is better if the mattress is a little smaller, then it will easily form the basis. The length of the mattress must be at least 20 cm longer than the height.
- Mattress fillers. There are spring and springless options.
- Safety, hypoallergenicity and hygiene are essential for health. Some fillers can cause allergies, and certain synthetic materials release toxic compounds.
- Weight is an important criterion. Full people should choose more rigid designs, and thin people should choose soft ones.
When deciding which mattress to choose, you should listen to the opinion of doctors. Elderly people are not recommended to sleep on a bed that is too hard, as this can cause circulatory disorders and pain in the spine. For lower back pain, it is better to choose softer options, and if there are problems in the upper back, then the choice should be stopped on hard products. Children's mattresses must be durable, as children will definitely play and jump on the bed.
Choosing a mattress for a double bed is better than medium hardness with independent springs.
Natural materials are durable and environmentally friendly, but can be dangerous for allergy sufferers. Therefore, in this case, it is worth choosing products made of synthetic materials.
Particular attention should be paid when choosing a mattress for a child. A good option is a mattress with separate springs. It is better not to purchase with a dependent spring block, they do not have the necessary orthopedic properties, which is reflected in the child's spine.
Rules for choosing the size of the mattress
Before you go to the store, you should measure the dimensions of the bed. If you are buying a new mattress to replace an old one, measurements can be taken from the old mattress.
If the dimensions are slightly different from the standard, then an error of up to 1 cm does not matter. But if the difference is greater, then the product must be purchased on an individual order.
The following tips will help you choose the right size:
- It is better to purchase a bed and mattress from the same manufacturer.
- The mattress can be ordered according to your individual sizes.
Types of mattresses for the bed
Before buying, you need to find out: what are the mattresses for the bed. There are only two main types - spring and springless products. It is important to understand how they differ and what characteristics they have.
Types of mattresses with spring filling
Spring types of mattresses for beds are equipped with metal spirals of varying degrees of elasticity. Products can be both with dependent spring block, and with independent.
Most often, such structures contain the following components:
- mattress cover or cover;
- rigid layer or bulk flooring;
- spring block of dependent or independent type.
In order for orthopedic mattresses to have the necessary rigidity, all kinds of fillers are used to cover the spring layer.
Here are the main types of fillers for spring products:
- The latex version is characterized by hygiene. Latex is obtained from the sap of the rubber tree. Via special technology the material acquires a porous structure, which provides elasticity, moisture resistance of the product, as well as excellent self-ventilation. Thanks to these qualities, the mattress perfectly follows the contours of the body.
- Natural wool is used as a filler, which is not subjected to additional processing. Woolen fabric is most often located on one side of the mattress.
- Coconut coir is durable, hypoallergenic and environmentally friendly. In orthopedic products, it is used in the form of a plate with latex or canvas. The latter option is considered softer.
- Felt is an environmentally friendly filler. Made from felted wool and synthetic fibers. Provides durability to the product.
- Spunbond is a polypropylene synthetic fiber. Remarkably repels moisture and is characterized by high performance properties.
Mattresses with dependent spring block
Mattresses with a dependent spring block of the bonnel type consist of springs connected to each other. The dependent block is a grid of intertwined springs connected by a rigid frame. In this case, the product has the same rigidity throughout the web. On the square meter such a canvas has about 100-150 large spirals.
Design advantages:
- Ease of manufacture.
- Low cost.
- Withstands heavy loads.
This type of mattress cannot be called durable, as the springs quickly deform, and a creak appears.
Mattresses for beds with independent spring block
Under the upholstery of the product with an independent spring block is a large number of springs that are not connected to each other. Such mattresses can have different stiffness, as well as several different hardness zones. For example, a hard area in the area of the shoulder girdle and a softer area in the lumbar area.
Independent block design provides superior spine support. For greater comfort, there should be at least 256 springs per square meter.
For good products, this number reaches 512. And elite models can contain up to 2000 miniature springs.
The advantages of products with an independent block include:
- Health benefits, since such structures have the necessary orthopedic effect, which allows you to keep the spine in the correct position, and also relieves fatigue from the back.
- Noiseless models. Each spring is placed in a special bag that protects the elements from friction.
There are also certain disadvantages:
- Quality products are very expensive.
- It is better not to jump on such mattresses, as they are sensitive to such loads.
In order for the mattress to serve for a long time, it must be turned up to 4 times a year. This approach will prevent deformation of the product.
Springless mattresses for beds
Mattresses without springs are characterized simple device. Such designs consist of a layer of latex, a layer of coconut bark and a cover. Products differ in the type of filler. Models made from natural materials are of higher quality.
These mattresses can also be quite hard. For the splendor of the design, mixed fibers of different lengths are used.
Springless models do not have metal parts. They are made from a single monoblock or from several types of materials that are stacked in sections or layers.
Such designs have the following advantages:
- Comfort.
- Full body support throughout the surface.
- Low allergenicity. Withstand weight up to 140 kg.
- They are silent, durable and do not accumulate static electricity.
It is also worth noting some disadvantages:
- A small degree of elasticity.
- High price.
- There may be deformations from the shape of the body.
Springless mattresses can be made with the following fillers:
- Latex products are characterized by remarkable elasticity, and also perfectly follow the contours of the human body.
- Polyurethane foam, artificial latex and foam rubber produce rigid products that are well ventilated and can withstand increased loads.
- Coconut designs are a suitable solution for back pain. They are often chosen for young children.
- Coconut-latex models are characterized by optimal rigidity and elasticity. But they are not designed for heavy loads.
Covers made of wear-resistant fabric are used as mattress toppers. First of all, they must withstand everyday stress, weight and friction. Wool, linen and cotton are often used to make covers. Double-sided covers that can be used at any time of the year are also popular.
Structures with a bonnel system are suitable for temporary use. They can be used for guests or as an option for giving. For problems with the spine, springless models or with an independent block are more suitable.
Rules for choosing the rigidity of the mattress
Choosing a mattress by firmness level is not so easy. In this case, it is necessary to take into account not only your preferences, but also the characteristics of the body. There are different degrees of hardness: low, below average, medium, above average and high. This indicator depends on the quality and characteristics of the fillers. The softest stuffings include foam rubber and cotton wool. But such options do not provide the necessary support to the spine. The soft base contributes to the curvature of the spine. Orthopedic constructions are made from latex, polyurethane foam, strutofiber and other materials. The level of rigidity depends on the presence of additional components in the structure of the material.
For soft orthopedic products, natural latex is used, which has a low level of rigidity.
According to the degree of rigidity, mattresses are of the following types:
- Soft models easily adapt to the curves of the body, and also exert minimal pressure on the tissues without complicating the work of the circulatory system. This option is suitable for people over 50 years old, as well as buyers with low weight. This bed is also recommended for pregnant women and people with back pain.
- Moderately soft options are suitable for middle-aged people and normal physique. They are made from spring block latex with thin layers of coconut coir.
- Mattresses with medium firmness fix the vertebrae well in the desired position and relax the muscles. Such options can be either spring or springless.
- Rigid products are designed for high loads. These models are recommended for children and teenagers as they help shape the correct curvature of the spine. Sleeping on such a bed is useful for people with poor posture, with pain in the neck and with a herniated disc. The structures are made of blocks of independent springs, and with layers of coconut coir.
- Very rigid products are recommended for heavy weight and problems in the upper spine.
A mattress is a durable item that is purchased for many years. That is why it is so important to choose best option in terms of stiffness, materials and elasticity.
