Hard orthopedic mattresses

Good sleep for a person is one of the important factors on which his well-being depends. It is influenced by many factors that a person tries to optimize for his needs.

One of the attributes that affect sleep, is the surface on which a person is located during sleep. With the help of hard mattresses that perfectly support the shape of the body, you can create a comfortable environment for rest. The market today is oversaturated with these products. Therefore, before buying a mattress, be sure to consult with a specialist.

Orthopedic hard mattresses are special products that are designed to meet the recommendations of many orthopedists. They are designed to properly support the human body, as well as in the case of treatment or prevention of diseases of the spine.

Mattresses can be divided into several basic types:

1. Spring. The basis of such structures are blocks of dependent or independent springs. It should be noted that hard mattresses of this type are quite rare, since metal elements are not able to keep their shape well under high loads. Often, these products have an average stiffness that is suitable for most types of people.
2. Springless Products of this type are made from natural or synthetic fillers. The density of this substance is quite high, which provides quality indicators of rigidity.

It should be noted that some manufacturers may combine such structures, placing them one inside the other or in several layers.

Today on the market there are products of various sizes, among which are the most common:

• 160x200 cm;
• 140x200 cm;
• 160x180 cm

Some manufacturers also produce double-sided mattresses, in which the degree of hardness depends on its position. This is achieved by using several layers of filler of different density.

Hard mattresses are very popular because they have unique properties. Doctors recommend similar products to several categories of people:

1. Having any disease of the spine. With the help of such products, the whole body is optimally supported, not allowing it to bend further. Please note that depending on the problem you should select a specific type of mattress. This can be done correctly only with the help of an experienced doctor who will select not only the type of mattress, but also the degree of rigidity.
2. Hard surfaces are also recommended for people who care about their health. Sleeping on this product is an excellent preventive measure that ensures the correct position of the body while at the same time relaxing it.

The variety of orthopedic mattresses is quite large, which often puts many buyers in a stupor. When choosing such a product, it is important to consider several main factors:

1. The age of the person. So, many orthopedists recommend using only hard surfaces for children, but it is not always allowed for newborns.
2. Weight. Rigid structures are heavy, indicating high density. However, these characteristics do not correlate with the weight of a person who will sleep on it.
3. The condition of the spine. Please note that high surface rigidity is recommended for people who have diseases of the upper spine (shoulder girdle, etc.).
4. The condition of the muscles. Often hard mattresses are recommended to be used by athletes and groups of people who are amenable to greater physical exertion. This surface contributes to a better relaxation of tense muscles and their quick rest. Sometimes such a product can be replaced with flat wooden planks on which to lay one or more blankets.

Hard products are made from solid materials without the use of springs. As fillers for them use several popular substances.

• Coconut coir. This product is a fiber that is derived from coke nut.To increase the strength, coir is additionally impregnated with latex. This also affects the service life. Coconut mattresses have several characteristics: high rigidity, durability, antibacterial, hygroscopic.

• Sisal. The substance is a derivative of agave leaves. The filler perfectly resists moisture. Among the positive characteristics are antibacterial properties and strength. It should also be noted that static electricity is not formed on the surface of this product, since the substance eliminates it on its own.
• Abacus. This product is a fiber from textile banana. The filler from it turns out very elastic and flexible, but at the same time rather thin.
• Felt. Another natural material that contains sheep's wool or cotton derivatives. It should be noted that the density of such a layer can reach 145 kg / cu. m. Another distinctive property of felt is its low thermal conductivity. Therefore, you can use these mattresses at any time of the year.
• Spunbond. The material is synthetic, based on polypropylene.Density values ​​start at 85 kg / cu. At the same time, the products are relatively light and well processed. Spunbond mattresses are hygroscopic, elastic, durable and hypoallergenic.
• Jute. Another representative of natural fillers. Mattresses from it are absolutely harmless to humans, as it does not emit any toxic substances. At the same time the substance does not give in to rotting, bacteria do not accumulate in it.

Please note that the cost of products with natural filler is much higher than that of spring analogues. It is impossible to say which one is better, since everything depends on the needs and desires of the person. When buying an orthopedic mattress, it is important to pay attention not only to the degree of its rigidity, but also to the quality of performance. It is advisable to give preference to products of well-known manufacturers with high-quality reviews on their specific modifications.
