Orthopedic mattresses

Orthopedic mattresses have relatively recently gained popularity. Now domestic and foreign manufacturers offer products with all sorts of filling and a different spring system.

Orthopedic means comfortable to our body. Of course, the mattress is not able to cure diseases of the spine, but it will improve the quality of sleep, relieve irritation, and relax muscles.

Many still believe in the assertion that sleep on a solid is good for the back. As it turned out, this is only half true. Sleeping on a hard surface is indicated only if there are some diseases, but if they are not there, sleep on a hard mattress can bend the spine.Lovers sleeping on their backs will suffer from the curvature of the thoracic spine, which can be fraught with dislocation and inflammation of the intervertebral discs, and those who sleep on their side are at risk of misalignment in the lumbar region. Problems occur during the rest on too soft feather beds, which subside in the middle. A position that seems comfortable does not provide quality rest, as the spine flexes.

Signs of an incorrect mattress:

• Restless sleep;
• Increased fatigue;
• Nightmares;
• Irritability;
• Pain in the back and lower back.

Particularly serious when choosing a model should be people who have spinal diseases.ka In addition, quality sleep, high spirits and energy will make you feel more comfortable in general. German scientists have found that the unnatural position of the spine in a horizontal position has a negative effect on the internal organs, even if pain is not manifested.This is due to the fact that the organs suffer from improper circulation.

I am glad that almost all modern mattresses are made from hypoallergenic materials that do not accumulate electrostatic charge, do not collect dust and prevent the development of microbes. They are durable and easy to maintain.

Many consumers believe that the orthopedic effect is nothing more than just an advertisement that you really want to get into. But still the situation is different. The orthopedic mattress differs from the simple one precisely by its ability to maintain the natural position of the spine without disturbing its natural curves. It has a beneficial effect on the state of the vessels, ligaments, muscles and vertebrae.

A huge difference will be felt by people with a problem back and lower back.. Those who do not care about the back will get good prophylaxis by trusting their spine to an orthopedic product.

In the view of many buyers, the main indicator of mattress quality is its softness.We all remember the feather duvets that mothers and grandmothers whipped for us with love. They are quickly crushed and are a breeding ground for germs and bed mites, in addition, they are a nightmare for allergies. Their foam rubber friends, who do not provide support for the spine, also cope with their work.

To date, nothing better is invented than a high-quality orthopedic mattress. It is quite simple to choose a model that is suitable in quality and price for both a child and an adult or an elderly person. Mattresses produced by different technologies have different properties.

The most affordable price have spring optionsbut they have some drawbacks. For example, from the fact that the springs inside are woven together, with pressure on one block, the adjacent one is compressed. If possible, it is better to make a choice in favor of products with independent springs, where the layers of springs alternate with layers of filler. Such a construction does not allow a dimple to form in the place where the person lies, moreover, does not emit a squeak and is well ventilated.

However, the best in this regard will be mattresses with multipocket blocks. Their advantage lies in the fact that about one thousand springs are located on one square meter, which creates high orthopedic properties that remain unchanged even when used by people with a large weight.

Springless are not inferior to them. solid mattresses from high quality materials. Connoisseurs of all natural will certainly be interested in products filled with natural coconut coir. This is the most rigid filler that suits people with back pain.

An interesting alternative are silicone products, which can repeat the shape of the body of the sleeper. There are also models with the addition of polymer balls, which give an additional effect of relaxation. Orthopedic mattress in bed for daily use is a profitable investment in your health and the health of your loved ones, which will ensure a healthy and pleasant sleep.

The most important difference of all mattresses is the presence or absence of springs.

Spring Products, according to the recommendations of orthopedists, well suited to people with a sore back and buyers, leading mainly sedentary lifestyles. The mattress with the most springs is most convenient to use.Mattresses with an independent spring block are more resistant to rust and have a longer service life.

Springless models with a variety of fillers are less, and their orthopedic properties are somewhat lower.

Memory - mattresses with the so-called "shape memory". The memory effect is the use of a heat-sensitive material, which, under the influence of heat, assumes the position of a body, as if holding it in memory. This helps to take a comfortable position and less spin during sleep. The material is also used in the manufacture of pillows.

Water mattresses can be single-chamber or two-chamber. Comfortable enough if you sleep alone, but when you sleep together to achieve a balance of water between the two halves of the mattress is impossible. In addition, they require regular replacement of water and their weight can reach tons.

Air mattress keep and distribute body weight well.Usually they have 2 cameras so that everyone can inflate their half to the desired level according to the preference of rigidity.

Another subspecies of orthopedic products will be roll-up mattress. It will be an excellent option for a convenient arrangement of guests, but it is also suitable for a permanent bed. This folding option is easy to roll up compactly, which is good for people who often change their rental housing.

The most important component of the mattress is its “filling”. The filler determines the rigidity of the model, and convenience and service life directly depend on its characteristics and quality. Raw materials for fillers are very diverse, but the main will be natural latex, coconut coir, treated felt, wool, cotton, memory foam.

• Latex - It is a natural material extracted from rubber tree Hevea. By production of this type of mattresses the environment does not suffer, it is considered environmentally friendly. Unfortunately, latex models have a drawback - they “do not breathe”, absorb moisture well and do not dry well, so sometimes the mattress seems damp.
• Artificial latexon the contrary, it is well blown by air.Such products are easy to maintain and have a long service life. The degree of elasticity and hardness of the mattress depends on the density of the foam, the number and size of the holes. Such models have the maximum orthopedic effect. There are also highly elastic variants that exactly repeat the outlines of the body.

Latex can be used as a basis in the form of blocks in a springless mattress, and in the form of a lining (roll layer of latex). If it is used as a basis, it has zones of hardness, the price of products depends on the amount of which.

• Coconut coir - natural material that does not cause allergies, made from coconut fibers. The production technology consists in the impregnation of coir with natural latex, which makes the resulting material elastic and durable. Coconut is used to stiffen the product.
• FeltThe last heat press is used as a hard flooring of various textile materials.It performs the function of separating the soft part of the mattress from the springs.
• Wool It is used inside double-sided mattresses, one side of which consists of cotton and is intended for summer, and the second with wool flooring - for winter.

Obviously, the size of the mattress should match the selected bed. When choosing a bed, consider the parameters of the bed, and not the bed as a whole. If the bed is already purchased, measure the place where the mattress will be. As a rule, both beds and mattresses are produced in standard sizes, so it’s very easy to look for the appropriate option. Many factories are ready to make the product according to personal measurements with a surcharge of 5-10%.

In stores there are:

• Double mattresses (standard 140x190-200, 160x190-200);
• One and a half (120x190, 120x200);
• Single beds (80x190-200, 90x190-200).

Round models have the same classification:

• Single beds (with a diameter of 200-210 cm);
• One and a half (220 cm);
• Double beds (230-240 cm).

Variations of the height and thickness of the product are quite diverse. It is important to understand that the mattress can not be thinner than the niche of the bed reserved for it. People who are overweight should take a thicker model. For springless mattress typical height - 15-24 cm, and for spring - 20-22. In principle, the height varies from 18 to 50 cm. Thin models from 2 to 10 cm are considered mattress covers or options for sofas.

Dealing with the question of which mattress to give preference to - domestic or imported, it is worth noting that the price is a serious argument. It is created taking into account such factors as:

• Material costs;
• Assembly costs;
• Delivery;
• Cheat mediators.

Buying domestic products, buyers save on several points, respectively, import models with similar characteristics will be much more expensive.

In favor imported mattresses It is a proven quality, the latest technology in production and new items. We are talking about expensive luxury models. For example, we still do not produce mattresses with gel filler.

Mattresses made in Europe are guaranteed quality. This is especially true of German and Italian brands. Swedish company is very popular Ikea, which makes it possible to return the product within 3 months and the warranty on the product in 25 years. American mattresses Serta are premium products supplied to the best global hotel chains. However, if it is necessary to make a model according to individual parameters, then it will take a long time to wait, while a Russian mattress will be made in 7-10 days.

Often the question arises, what is better to buy - a simple imported mattress or Russian, but with the best characteristics. Below are some common examples:

• If a dilemma arises between a foreign regular spring mattress and a domestic on independent springsthen the second option will definitely be better;
• If when choosing springless product the budget allows you to buy imported only from artificial latex, then it will be smarter to take Russian from natural material.

The opinion that an orthopedic mattress is by definition effective is considered erroneous and should not be too hung up on its choice. Orthopedic models certainly have excellent characteristics, unlike conventional products. The caveat is that people are different, so the mattress must be chosen individually for themselves - which alone is beneficial, can harm the other.

People suffering from diseases of the musculoskeletal system should talk with your doctor about the choice of a suitable model. Before you make a purchase, you should heed the advice of experts, because the mattress is a thing that will serve for many years. Below are the most important criteria, based on which it will be easier to make the right choice:

If the mattress is chosen for the child, the rigid monolithic option will be the best choice. Since posture is still only in the process of formation, it is important to prevent the curvature of the spine. Older people, too, is better to abandon the springs, as they create vibrations that are detrimental to the age organism. Children 7-10 years old is better to take springless mattress of medium hardness. Adolescents and adults will need moderately rigid mattresses that optimally support the back.

Soft mattresses are better for choosing thin people. If the weight is more than 100 kg, it is worthwhile to dwell on models with a block system. These mattresses are a great choice for couples whose weight difference exceeds 30 kg. Usually there is a marking on the mattresses indicating the maximum allowable weight.

A good economy option for cottages or guests would be a springless mattress. Such models have low orthopedic properties, but with periodic use it will not be very noticeable.

The pose that a sleeping person takes is important. Lovers of sleep on the stomach should prefer more stringent options than those who sleep on their side or back.If the surface of the mattress does not support the spine, it does not receive proper rest and relaxation.

Each model of a mattress has the pluses and minuses. In addition to the filler, you need to be interested in the company that manufactured the mattress. Objective criticism can be obtained from customers who have experienced this or that product. Below is the rating of the most famous domestic manufacturers according to consumer reviews.

Askona - A huge Russian factory that produces more than one thousand mattresses per day. He enters the Swedish Hilding Anders, which connects about two dozen European factories. The brand produces on its premises such brands as Ikea, Serta, Bicoflex and others. Along with positive, negative reviews of product quality are also quite common.

Ormatek - the second largest Russian manufacturer. The plant for the production of spring units in the group of companies Ormatek. Their springs are used in many products of small manufacturers. The product reviews of this company are quite positive, especially if we talk about latex products.Prices and quality of mattresses are rated better than their closest competitor.

Consul and Toris produce volumes smaller than the first two, but have fairly good reviews. The main focus of Toris is the production of beech furniture.

Among foreign brands, the world's largest manufacturers will be Sily, Serta and Simmons. Serta is sold in Russia and manufactured by Askona, and Simmons French mattresses are sold under the name Sleepezee.
