Spring mattresses

Virtually every detail plays a role in creating comfort, especially when it comes to sleep. Today, a person tries to adapt the bed as much as possible. There are many products with which you can solve this problem. One of the best options would be the use of spring mattresses. On the market there are quite a few varieties of such products, which is distinguished by its purpose and technical parameters. Therefore, before buying a product, it is important to check its quality and comfort.

The spring mattress is a special sleeping surface. At the core of its design is the spring unit, which perceives the main body load on itself. The shape of these elements can be different, from which the characteristics of the surface depend. In high-quality orthopedic mattresses there must be springs of not less than 256 pieces per bed.But there are variations in which this number reaches 500 or 1000 pieces, depending on the manufacturer.

The simplest modifications of mattresses are equipped with dependent springs of large diameter. They are relatively well perceived load, but can not provide high-quality orthopedic effect. Quality models are equipped with pocket-type springs. A feature of this design is that each element is placed in a special bag of sealant (polyurethane, latex, etc.). For convenience of transportation, some models are produced twisted into a roll.

There are several advantages of spring mattresses:

• Relatively low cost.
• Qualitative orthopedic properties. Often this only applies to models with independent spring units.
• Long service life. The mattresses can be operated without the use of spring springs up to 10 years. This characteristic depends on the manufacturer and the materials used.
• Noise level, squeak. To reduce this characteristic, many manufacturers place special fillers between the springs.

Still, spring mattresses are not unique, as they have several significant disadvantages:

• With time springs begin rust and lose their main characteristics. In low-cost models, this very quickly leads to a sagging or bulging frame.
• The surface of the mattress quickly accumulates dust and harmful bacteriathat makes a sleeper into a source of allergies and diseases.
• Creak. This characteristic does not appear immediately and it is often found only in the most simple modifications.

Spring mattresses are quite common in the modern market, as they have unique characteristics. There are several types of similar products. One of the criteria used to classify mattresses is the spring unit used internally. Depending on this characteristic, products can be divided into 2 main types:

• Designs with dependent spring unit. Such a system is a set of springs that are interconnected by a kind of weaving. Therefore, if you put pressure on one of these elements, then it will, accordingly, trigger the neighboring springs.It is not always possible to achieve comfortable support for the human body.
• Independent springs. In such systems, all elements are placed in separate bags of fabric, which are already sewn together if necessary. Such a design already provides a separate effect on a specific unit. This allows for unique orthopedic characteristics.

Depending on the purpose, these products can be divided into children and adults. The first type is complemented by special layers, which provide a high level of comfort. As fillers for such mattresses use several types of substances:

• Latex. This material is very soft, so it is very often used as a top gasket.
• Coconut coir. Hard natural material. Use it as a filler for orthopedic mattresses. Differs in durability and hypoallergenicity.
• Polyurethane. Foam is very practical and popular.It goes well with other materials, but very quickly loses its elasticity. Often used in combination with other substances.
• Sea grass A unique natural filler that combines safety, orthopedic properties and a pleasant smell.

Dimensions of spring mattresses are often determined by their purpose. Today, both standard and unique products are launched on the market. Standard single designs are characterized by several standard sizes:

• 80 x 190;
• 80 x 200;
• 90 x 190;
• 90 x 200;
• 120 x 200

As for the double mattress models, their sizes also vary in a wide range:

• 140 x 200;
• 160 x 200;
• 180 x 200 and so on

Mattresses of this type have several upper protective layers, which form its surface. To protect the internal parts of the product are covered with special decorative covers. Sew them from natural or synthetic fabrics. It is this layer that is decorative. This allows you to change the color of the mattress, depending on the desire of the manufacturer and the buyer.Today you can find products of white, beige, red or even green shades. It should be understood that the design can be changed using a still removable cover. It can also be purchased for a specific modification. The main thing is to correctly match the color of the mattress with the other attributes in the bedroom. This will create an original design and a pleasant atmosphere in the room.

The spring mattress market is now oversaturated, which sometimes makes it impossible to choose the best production option. Among all this diversity, there are several popular manufacturers of these products:

• Askona. The company has been producing mattresses for over 20 years. This brand is one of the most popular in the domestic market. Here you can find not only high-quality spring models, but also original springless products. For the manufacture of the manufacturer uses only natural materials that do not affect the human body.

The popularity of spring models does not fall, which leads to the appearance of new modifications. The price of this product depends on many factors, among which the main ones are:

• type of spring unit;
• filler and upholstery material;
• the presence of orthopedic effect.

The simplest models of economy class can be purchased for about 5-7 thousand rubles. More advanced designs will already cost about 10-15 thousand rubles. It should be understood that choosing mattresses should be guided not only by their price, but also customer reviews.

The number of types of spring products on the market is quite diverse, which does not always allow an inexperienced buyer to navigate in the selection. To purchase quality products, you should be guided by a few simple recommendations:

• The rigidity of the mattress is chosen for individual human parameters. For people with more weight, it is desirable to use more rigid surfaces. Please note that spring designs can be designed for a maximum weight of up to 120 kg.If it is a child, then the product must be not only comfortable, but also durable. It is better to use products with independent blocks for this.
• Health is also important when choosing a mattress. This is especially important for people with spinal problems. Therefore, in such cases it is desirable to buy orthopedic models. They perfectly support the body and create comfortable conditions for rest.

To choose the right product, it is better to consult a doctor. It will help you choose the optimal characteristics from size to hardness level:

• Important when choosing also consider the quality of the mattress and materials used for this. Many cheap products are made from harmful substances that can harm human health. Many experts recommend buying mattresses with only natural upholstery (cotton, jacquard, etc.), as they do not cause allergies in most people.
• Pay attention to the manufacturer of this product. It is important to study the customer reviews about the selected model before purchasing. This will allow you to choose the best product that will not only be safe, but also will last a long time.
• Type of springs. Often, simple modifications are equipped with a minimum number of elements of large diameter. If you want to get a comfortable surface, give preference to models with springs of relatively small size with a high frequency of their location in the square.

Today, materials without springs have been used as an alternative to mattresses. They form an integral layer, which creates the necessary damping characteristics. To understand which mattress is better, you should compare several of their parameters:

• Cost of. Products based on latex will cost the buyer about 20-30 thousand rubles (there are models up to 100 thousand rubles). In turn, a good spring mattress costs around 10-15 thousand rubles.
• Environmental friendliness. Latex is a natural substance that practically does not cause allergies. As for the spring model, one of its major drawbacks is the ability to accumulate dust. It can be a strong allergen. It should be understood that you can get rid of this by simply cleaning the surface in a timely manner.
• Orthopedic effect. Not all spring-based mattresses have these characteristics. Often they are absent in constructions with dependent blocks. As for independent springs, their orthopedic features are quite good. Therefore, many experts recommend using them to people with a sore back.

Latex mattress also has very good orthopedic parameters. It should be noted that natural latex is very rarely used as a pure filler for mattresses. Although the substance and natural, still there is a small percentage of people in whom it causes allergies. Also, when heated, the substance becomes sticky, and with strong cooling turns into a hard and brittle mass.

An alternative option is a polyurethane foam mattress, which eliminates almost all the previously mentioned disadvantages. It should be understood that spring and springless models are unique designs with their own distinctive properties. It is impossible to say which type is better, since each of them is used to solve specific problems.

One of the problems of spring mattresses is that the metal elements break.This not only reduces the quality of the surface, but also leads to rapid deterioration of all other structures. Consider a mattress repair algorithm with dependent springs. This process consists of the following successive steps:

• First of all, the design is released from upholstery. After that, it is desirable to thoroughly clean the entrails from dust.
• The next step is to align the springs.. To do this, install the spring system vertically and nail the damaged elements to the rail. If belts are used, then it is better to change them.
• When the springs are attached to the rail, you can begin to trim them. This process is quite complex. It involves the formation of hooks from nails, which should be located opposite each of the rows. They need to be fixed very securely in order to provide solid support. The field of this is the ligation of the springs in the longitudinal and transverse direction. As the main tool using durable thread.
• The process is completed by covering the structure with the upholstery removed.. Sometimes you can use a new fabric, but for this you will need to pre-sew a kind of cover from it.

As for mattresses with independent spring blocks, their restoration is also feasible independently. It involves the dismantling of the upholstery, which allows to get to the kegs. Then you need to carefully get out of them and replace the spring with a new one. If the design is hidden in a fabric bag, it should be carefully unstuck. After installation, the fabric is carefully sewn. Please note that the restoration process is quite complicated. Therefore, if you do not have the skills, it is not recommended to solve this problem yourself. It is advisable to trust such operations only to experienced professionals.
