Choosing a mattress cover

Modern mattresses from innovative materials delight us with their useful properties and a favorable effect on sleep and rest. It is not surprising that everyone wants to extend their service life by protecting them from damage and pollution. Cover on the mattress is guarding the cleanliness and long life of the bed.

Protective surfaces on mattresses are divided into:

• covers;
• mattress covers;
• mattress covers.

Buying a mattress, we already get it in a factory case made of thick fabric. It covers the bed at the top and bottom, can have a lock-zipper. Its disadvantage is that such a cover can not be removed, and therefore the cleaning of the mattress has to be done in dry cleaning with the help of specialists, who sometimes ask for fabulous sums for this procedure.

A removable cover helps to avoid the cost of dry cleaning.He, as well as the native protection of the mattress covers it from all sides. For ease of donning, it is equipped with various fasteners, for example, three side zippers over the entire surface.

More budget option is mattressTo. It performs fewer functions, protecting the upper and sometimes the side surface. Such a model can be mounted on an elastic band stitched around the perimeter or on side rubber bands attached to its corners.

A pad is a less common option, but having a place to be. It protects the bottom surface from dust and has a layer that is not afraid of cleaning with a damp cloth. A mattress pad is relevant for young families who have not had time to buy a bed for a mattress. Placing the latter on a mattress sheet, you can not be afraid for its safety.

Depending on the type of mattress, the covers are divided into:

• children;
• adult;
• medical.

Children's case in modern models is a water-resistant and water-repellent type of coating.. It consists of the thinnest membrane film on the surface of natural fabrics, which not only prevents water from getting inside the mattress, but also provides excellent ventilation and “breathing” of the body, which is very important for the delicate skin of the baby. In addition, the cover or mattress pad has antimicrobial impregnation, which prevents the reproduction of pathogenic organisms and the occurrence of unpleasant odors, for example, from a leaked diaper.

Adult mattress also has its own characteristics.. He, like children, may have anti-allergic layer that protects against dust mites. Such a dustproof mattress has the smallest structure that does not allow dust to get inside the structure and cause the appearance of such unpleasant organisms. Antiallergic mattress pad is vital for people with asthma and other respiratory diseases.

Medical covers, as a rule, are made of PVC and have a zipper. Not too pleasant top layer is more than pays for budget and the ability to treat the surface with any detergent.

Covers can be divided and in accordance with the shape and material of the mattress:

• for cotton;
• for thin;
• for spring.

The wadded mattress is covered with a special type of the covers, having the form of a pillowcase with a top. The material for the manufacture is thick cotton or coarse. Often this look can be decorative. Carry the beauty and covers for thin mattresses. Models for spring designs are focused on high practical functions and protection of expensive designs.

Depending on the method of fixing mattress covers are divided into models:

• on lightning;
• on an elastic band;
• in rare cases on buttons.

Covers for transportation and storage of a mattress are extremely important. Since modern mattresses cannot be twisted, they are placed in a horizontal position, having previously put on a protective cover. For transportation, PVC and polyethylene covers are used to prevent any external exposure. For long-term storage of a mattress at home, such covers are contraindicated, because the product does not breathe in it, which means it absorbs dust over time and becomes a place to stay for harmful organisms.Hygienic non-woven or thick cotton material that does not let the sun's rays - these are ideal options for a bed waiting in the wings.

The materials for the covers are various natural and synthetic fabrics. In some models, such as waterproof options, a thin membrane film is added to the natural fabrics.

One of the most popular types can be considered jacquard.. He is known for his dense weaving, creating unique patterns. It is made from various threads, such as cotton, wool, flax or synthetics. Unnatural fibers here, by the way, play a very useful function, saving natural fabrics from shrinkage and stretching. Jacquard can meet both in luxury models, and in options of an economy class depending on the cost of the used threads.

Jacquard covers are loved not only by consumers, but also by manufacturers, because they do not crumble during production.

Thanks to the hypoallergenicity and availability, the cotton case is popular today.Its natural fibers are mixed with artificial ones, because cotton in its pure form can shrink by several sizes. The cover is recommended for the summer season, as it perfectly absorbs moisture and cools the body. However, easy absorption is considered the main drawback of cotton, because odors are absorbed along with liquids.

The knitted case became a counterweight for cotton and jacquard patterns.l Its structure is interconnected loops of high elasticity and elasticity. The material is cotton, wool, synthetic and other types of threads. Knitwear is pleasant to the touch and durable enough, however, there is a perception in its predisposition to the pellets. Nevertheless, knitted mattress covers are incredibly popular, because tactile sensations against the backdrop of democratic value amaze buyers.

The mattress cover should always be selected according to the exact size of the bed. There is absolutely no need to buy a slightly larger size, thinking that after the first wash the case will fit. The fact is that well-known manufacturers are already laying a small stock in real size.

As mentioned earlier, the size of the cover is fully consistent with the size of the mattress. So, for a children's classic crib from birth, a cover of 120 x 60 is suitable, for a transforming crib - 70 x 140 cm.

Covers with dimensions of 90 x 200 and 80 x 200 are suitable for single beds. One and a half cover is available in sizes 120 x 200, 190 x 90, ending in a width of 140 cm. A double mattress pad can have a minimum of 140 x 200 cm or be suitable for wider beds equal to 160 x 200 and 180 x 200 cm.

Mattress covers and covers came to our homes not so long ago, but immediately fell in love. Until now, many of their owners regard them as a purely practical thing for the home, not thinking about design. White and milky are classics for most cases.

Marketers decided not to dwell on the proposed shades and to release a series of covers in a variety of color solutions. It is worth noting that all dyes used for mattress covers have high stability. So, in addition to white, black, red, lemon, marsh, lilac, pink and other shades of this product were born.

The leader among the contrasts in the shades of covers is blackt. It is selected under the dark furniture and is considered as versatile as white.A colored mattress pad is less practical, because not every bed linen is suitable, especially if it covers the side parts and is visible. Trying on such a bright accent on the mattress, you should think about its compatibility and the possibility of combining with a different bed set.

Cover on the mattress should be selected based on the objectives pursued when purchasing. So, if it is assumed that the mattress will be in a cot or in a family with children, you should seriously think about the waterproof model. Feels like it will be just as pleasant and velvety, and most importantly, made of natural fabrics, only with special impregnation.

If the mattress is purchased to increase or decrease the stiffness of the bed, it's time to pay attention to the fillers.

Another important criterion is size.. To avoid creases and assemblies that bring debilitating discomfort during sleep, the cover should be the same size as the mattress.Smaller size also does not fit, because the constant tensioning of the fabric during fastening can lead to mechanical damage or breakage of the fasteners.

Special impregnation should also be considered when choosing. So, the best mattress pad for allergy sufferers is a surface with a dustproof layer made of natural materials. The bamboo surface is famous for its best antibacterial properties, which is especially good for cots.

People who decide to buy a good and high-quality mattress, more and more often in addition to it, buy a mattress pad. According to users, it is very convenient, because you do not need to wander around the shops in search of the right size and design. The cover and mattress of one company seem to merge with each other, becoming a single whole. Covers "Ormatek" and Askona are very popular today.

For many, the mattress cover becomes the right solution for masking the flaws of a not very best mattress. For example, an overly rigid transform with tall covers from 4 to 7 cm thick filled with hollocon or soft memory foam, widely represented in the “Ormatek” assortment.Users find such a purchase very economical and profitable, because the purchase of a new good mattress would be much more expensive.

More positive reviews deserve natural surfaces, be it cotton or calico, as well as jacquard weaving. Jersey is treated in two ways - on the one hand, singing its pleasant tactile sensations, and on the other - speaking of its short-lived, presentable form.

Anyway, everyone who has acquired a high-quality case, in no way regret their purchase. It is convenient to wash and clean it from dust, allowing yourself to forget about the expensive dry cleaning services.
