Single mattresses

Nowadays, gained great popularity single mattresses. The demand for them is no less than their double counterparts. All this is due to the mass of the advantages they possess.

Single mattress has a number of distinctive features in comparison with the double. First of all, it is, of course, its size. They are small, very compact and comfortable. This is undoubtedly a very good advantage, especially for small rooms. This mattress on a single bed fits perfectly into the nursery.

The second advantage is a very competitive price. Due to its simple design, small size and minimal amount of materials used in the production of a single mattress - this is a very profitable purchase.At the same time it is very high quality and no worse for sleep and its comfort.

Single mattresses as well as double ones come in a wide variety of sizes. Today in the furniture market there is a wide variety of sizes for every taste and color. Now we list the most basic of them.

Naturally, these mattresses will differ in their small size, as they are intended for rest and sleep only by one person. However, people are different, and their weight, height, and just preferences also differ from each other. Therefore, there is no single standard size for a single mattress. The most basic of them are 80 x 190 cm, 90 x 200 cm, 80 x 200 cm, and also 90 x 190 cm.

This is not all existing on the market at the moment types of sizes. Even the most unusual options can be found and purchased in stores and factories. One of the smallest sizes in width are sizes such as 70 x 186 cm, 70 x 190 cm, 70 x 195 cm, 70 x 200 cm, 75 x 180 cm. 70 cm is the minimum width for a mattress, but sometimes it can be found and models with dimensions of 60 x 190 cm. Such products are suitable primarily for children.Due to its compactness, such mattresses have the most favorable cost among all.

The next view is not much different from the previous one, only 10 cm more in width. This category includes mattresses with the following dimensions: 80 x 140 cm and 80 x 170 cm (unusual dimensions), 80 x 180 cm, 80 x 186 cm and 80 x 185 cm, 80 x 190 cm (standard size), 80 x 195 cm, 80 x 200 cm (also standard). Such products are also suitable for people of fragile physique.

The following dimensions are also considered small: 85 x 200 cm, 90 x 160 cm, 90 x 180 cm, 90 x 185 cm and 90 x 186 cm, 90 x 190 cm, 90 x 195 cm and 90 x 200 cm. They are already considered relative average.

Next category - large mattresses. These include 100 x 186 cm, 100 x 190 cm, 100 x 195, 100 x 190 cm and 100 x 200 cm. In rare cases, you can find options and more, for example, such as 120 x 190 cm.

The mattress is suitable for a person only if it is perfectly matched to the length and width of the bed on which it is located. Otherwise, sleep and rest will provide only discomfort. Therefore, the choice of the size of the purchase should be taken as seriously as possible. On the other hand, the single-bed room has an advantage here, because when choosing, it will be necessary to take into account the opinion of only one person, and not just two.

The advantage of a single mattress over a double one is its light weight. But in this category there are a variety of types of mattresses - from very light and easy to transport to almost very heavy. The following describes what determines such a parameter of a single mattress.

• First of all, the weight depends on the type of mattress, namely, whether there is a spring block in its construction or not. On average, a spring mattress will weigh 5 kilograms per square meter more than a non-spring one. Therefore, if the main thing in the purchase is light weight, it is necessary to give preference to the springless view. In addition, the number of such blocks adds gravity, which is obvious. In the manufacture of such products use from one up to three blocks of springs.

• Another factor that determines the weight of the mattress is, of course, its thickness. It is the mattress is the most different: from 10 to 40 centimeters, which is four times more. Also, in the production of some models, not one but two, three or more layers of “filling”, that is, filler, are used.

• Finally, the last factor is the rigidity of the product. Naturally, models of increased rigidity, made, for example, from coconut fiber, weigh significantly more than their soft counterparts. Usually the easiest are orthopedic soft mattresses, the main advantage of which is that they make sleep and rest very comfortable and make you feel to a sleeping person as if they are on a soft “cloud”.

In conclusion, it is worth noting that the weight of a typical single mattress is 15 kilograms. There are models both heavier and lighter (less than 10 centimeters). The lightest are orthopedic mattresses, the heaviest are those made from coconut fiber.

Single mattresses are designed for a variety of weight categories of users. Each mattress is designed for its individual size of the load, and in particular it concerns the mattresses for one person.If a person's weight is 100 kilograms, and the product is designed only for 60 kilograms, then, naturally, one should not expect that it will serve for a long time and will maintain its quality. Therefore, you should always carefully read the instructions before buying.

For example, the absolute majority of orthopedic mattresses are designed for people weighing up to 100-120 kilograms. People with a weight less than this usually should not think too much about such things, but not all models are suitable for full people.

Many mattress manufacturers use various techniques to strengthen their products in order to increase the weight they are able to withstand. For example, make designs with a large number of springs in blocks. Also, some manufacturers in the manufacture of mattresses for overweight people use more rigid materials and fillers. Therefore, it is not so difficult to find mattresses for people weighing from 120 to 180 (!) Kilograms.

As for people of particularly fragile physique (for example, young girls), as well as children and adolescents, it would be better for them to purchase single-layer mattresses, or, for example, models with less rigid fillers, as well as soft orthopedic models.Such products for this type of people fit perfectly.

By production of mattresses the huge amount of various materials of the most different rigidity, structure and different quality is used. Below we will try to list all of the most common in the furniture industry at the moment.

• The first material to be discussed is coconut coir. The name may not be familiar to everyone, but nevertheless, this material in the production of furniture is quite common. Coconut coir is called interlaced coconut palm fiber, which is impregnated with natural latex. This material is one of the most environmentally friendly of all.

Coconut coir has a number of special advantages due to which it has become so widespread in the manufacture of single mattresses. These include durability, high hygiene, high-quality ventilation and moisture resistance. Moreover, coconut coir has properties such as anti-allergy and resistance to different temperatures and to its change. This is a very durable material, products from which will last a very, very long time and will remain of high quality for a long time.of time.

• Another natural material is latex. It is created from the sap of the Hevea tree, also known as the rubber tree. Its main differences from all other materials are elasticity and long service life. Latex is an excellent antiseptic. In addition, it is hypoallergenic, hygienic material, resistant to any weather and to any temperature.

Latex is similar in quality to coconut coir; it also has good ventilation and moisture resistance. Buying a mattress of this type of material ensures good quality and a very long service life. It is worth mentioning the individual varieties of latex material. The first of these is the so-called latex monolith. Its difference is that its high elasticity allows it to adapt to the anatomical features of each individual. The second is seven-latex. It is also a natural material with enhanced elasticity and durability. Latex foam from this material is hypoallergenic and very hygienic.

• The following material is a strutofiber. In its manufacture used algae. This material has a high volume. It is based on wool, that is, is a twisted fiber yarn, having the appearance of a spring. Thanks to this, the strutofiber has a high durability and retains its own shape well for a long time. This type of material also has advantages. These include softness, ability to breathe and heat retention for a long period of time. This material is very safe, because it does not burn, it also does not absorb any unpleasant odors and is resistant to moisture. It is easy to care for him.
• The following material, which is worth mentioning despite its low prevalence, is horsehair. By name it is clear that it is extracted from the horse's mane. In terms of composition and quality, it resembles wool and has all the advantages of this material, such as, for example, the ability to retain heat. Unlike wool, horsehair is slightly tougher and has somewhat different orthopedic properties.

• Environmentally friendly and hypoallergenic material is polyurethane foam. In its composition there are no toxic substances, it is sufficiently resistant to moisture, elastic. Polyurethane foam is able to withstand very strong weight loads, while the mattress made from it will be very soft and pleasant to the touch, comfortable. Like latex, it is very elastic.
• A very lightweight and high volume material is a synthetic winterizer. Its advantages are that it is able to maintain softness and comfort throughout its entire life cycle. It does not cause allergies and is non-toxic.

• Natural wool is a material of animal origin, known, perhaps, to absolutely everyone. It is also used in the manufacture of single mattresses, namely when creating the "stuffing". Wool filler is always soft, comfortable and comfortable.
• Fans of eco-friendly products are perfectly suited for thermally felt. It is made from cotton and wool fibers. The use of this material greatly improves the quality and durability of products.

• Spandbond is a nonwoven fabric made from synthetic fabric. It is hygroscopic and has a very high density.All this helps give the mattress maximum strength and rigidity.
• A special type of fabric - Jacquard, has a special weave. It increases the durability of the product from this material and does not allow it to quickly wear out. For the manufacture of jacquard always use 100% natural cotton, which gives the mattress of this material durability and makes the life of the highest possible. Jacquard is usually covered with mattresses, making them stronger, and the design is more stable.

• A separate type of jacquard is double jacquard. It differs from the usual one in that it incorporates two layers instead of one. Due to the additional layer, the mattress from it has the ability to be better ventilated in two directions: in the transverse and longitudinal. The advantages of double jacquard can be noted good strength, as well as long service life.
• One of the newest types of fabric is polycotton. It has been developed in accordance with the latest requirements of the furniture market. Products and furniture, including mattresses made from this material, have a lower hygroscopicity and air permeability, which, of course, is a minus.However, the advantage of the polycotton is that after both the first and second wash it does not “sit down” and does not lose its original appearance, that is, it is very easy and simple to take care of it, which is important for any furniture.

• The material with the unusual name holofiber is a hollow fibrous fabric, the weaving of which has the appearance of a spring. Due to the special structure, the holofiber helps a product made of this material not to lose its original shape for a very long time and to easily restore it during deformation. This material is environmentally friendly, it does not incorporate any toxins, is not combustible and does not absorb smells, which sometimes cause great discomfort when sleeping and relaxing.
• Beautiful French word "knitwear" is called knitted fabric, made from a variety of threads with the help of loops, which are mutually intertwined. Knitwear has good stretchability, thereby making the mattress cover more elastic.

The most popular manufacturers of single mattresses today are such companies as Askona, Ormatek, Toris, Consul, Matramax, Vegas and many others. Askona - one of the most popular of its kind. She received her recognition at the expense of natural materials such as coconut plate, Askona special foam, as well as special spring blocks. Askona mattresses have a huge orthopedic effect.

Firm second place Ormatek. A distinctive feature of this company is the streamlined production of spring blocks with an individual design. The springs produced by Ormatek use most other manufacturers in the construction of their single mattresses.

Somewhat less popular but noteworthy firms are Consul and Toris. They are engaged in the production of not only high-quality and comfortable mattresses, but also sofas, beds made of beech. Conveniently, they can be purchased at the same time as a bed and a mattress, ideally suited to it.

The choice of a single mattress should always be approached with great care. On this depends a healthy sleep, comfort and quality of rest in general. These factors have a very strong influence on the productivity of our lives.

• First of all, you need to focus on the size of the bed to which the mattress is purchased. They should ideally coincide, because otherwise sleep and rest will not bring any comfort, but only some inconveniences.
• It is necessary to focus on the weight category of the person who purchased the product. Most mattresses are designed for people weighing up to 100-120 kilograms, but it is necessary to specify the weight category of each individual model.
