How to choose the best mattress

Mattresses with an orthopedic effect allow the spine to rest; in such models, the back does not bend in the thoracic or lumbar region.

Advantages of products with orthopedic effect:

– long service life;

– blood circulation is not disturbed during sleep;

– prevention of osteochondrosis, maintaining good posture.

Orthopedic effect spring mattresses are somewhat outdated, but popular among consumers. In inexpensive models, blocks are placed, the springs of which are interconnected.

The pressure applied to one area is distributed to adjacent springs – such products are inconvenient to use for double beds. The advantage is low cost. The disadvantage is fragility, the mattress is quickly pressed through, it will have to be replaced in 5 years.

With the independent fastening of the springs, the pressure is clearly distributed over one block, without affecting adjacent areas.

In such products, different zones have a certain rigidity, they are recommended to be used for the treatment and prevention of back problems.

Independent fastening mattresses are suitable for double beds, no one will roll to the edges or center. The cost and quality is affected by the number of springs per 1 sq. m. – the more of them, the more expensive and better the mattress. Average service life is 12 years.

In models without springs, stiffness and quality depend on the filler. For mattresses, elastic materials of a synthetic or natural look are used. In expensive products there is a “winter” and “summer” side, which differ in the type of filler.

Types of fillers:

– latex – hypoallergenic material, used for filling medium-hard mattresses;

– coconut murre – a very elastic and hygroscopic material, used for hard and children’s mattresses;

– wool fibers – used in models of medium hardness, suitable for the elderly;

– polyurethane foam – a modern type of filler, used in models with a memory effect.
