Orthopedic mattresses

Currently, everyone wants to make their life as comfortable and healthy as possible, which is why in the modern market not only products of natural origin are in great demand, but also various items for daily use. The most important criterion is sleep. For healthy sleep, an orthopedic mattress is needed - this is now recognized by many. To settle on the right option, you need to understand which one is recognized as the best and what advantages it has.

Such a mattress fixes the position of the back, neck and lower back so that a person does not experience discomfort during sleep. Such a product is able to support the spine due to its springless base. And the fillers, which are placed throughout the body, adapt as much as possible to the body of each person.

It is worth noting that the body is unique, and everyone has certain sleeping positions in which people feel comfortable. Therefore, an orthopedic mattress (as opposed to a regular one) must follow every bend and not have hollows or bulges. The most popular option is a mattress with a medium firmness, since too firm can harm the spine, and too soft does not return to its previous shape.

The weight of orthopedic mattresses is quite significant, because in such a product there are all kinds of fillers that can relax the back during sleep, bringing comfort.

Soft options are intended for the elderly, pregnant women and those who are in rehabilitation in the postoperative period.

It is this type of mattress that has recently become popular and in demand in our country. It cannot cure diseases related to the spine, but it can eliminate them at an early stage of development.

The benefits of this product are:

• in that it leads to a state of complete muscle relaxation;
• repeats all the bends;
• eliminates the appearance of various fungi and bacteria with the help of a special impregnation;
• distributes the load throughout the body, relieving stress on the spine;
• made from natural materials that eliminate the risk of allergies.

It is impossible not to mention the advantages of an orthopedic mattress with shape memory.

• it adjusts to the person's weight;
• convenient at any time of the year;
• differs in ecological and medicinal properties;
• does not allow the spine to bend;
• has anatomical features.

Do not forget about the disadvantages.

• Both a spring mattress and a springless mattress have a fairly heavy weight, it must be turned over every six months.
• Another significant disadvantage is that the glued layers can have specific smellthat wears off within a few days.

Currently, choosing a mattress is a rather laborious and long process, since among the many models it is necessary to highlight the most comfortable and convenient option, one that will not cause any harm to health. There are a number of different models on the market today. To get a really high-quality mattress, you need to understand the types:

• Spring loaded with independent springs. The essence of such a product is the springs, which are placed in a special case and work separately from each other. This type maximally repeats every bend of the body. Such a mattress has an orthopedic effect, allows you to feel a state of complete comfort during sleep, distributes the load. These models have a high price, but they guarantee quality and healthy sleep.

• Water. Such a mattress in appearance does not differ from the usual one. However, one has only to lie down - and the difference, of course, is felt. Lightness is the key word in the characteristics of just such a product. Such mattresses are skeptical, but they have a number of advantages.

• Springless. Such mattresses are filled with various fillers in the form of cotton wool, linen or latex. Distinguish between high and low degree of orthopedicity - depending on the filler. It can be chosen in accordance with the doctor's recommendations, since, for example, too soft mattresses are contraindicated for children, and for those who suffer from lower back diseases, on the contrary, it is not recommended to choose hard models.
• Summer Winter. This type of mattress has a double-sided surface, one of which retains heat, and the other retains moisture, leveling the surface. On the one hand, it has a soft base, on the other, it is hard. The price for such products is different, since everything depends solely on the filling and material of the selected model.

• Roll-up roll. This type is very easy to transport, as it fits easily even into the car interior. However, this model has a number of disadvantages that need to be mentioned. When twisting, a significant load acts on the mattress, which can significantly spoil it. After purchase, it cannot be used for 72 hours, this factor is one of the most negative.

• With balls inside. It is the mattress with polymer balls that has a massage effect, provides prophylaxis for various back pains and improves sleep with its double wave shape. Transverse waves support the body and provide a massage effect. The transverse ones relax every part of the body.

• With plates. This mattress is chosen by many. It works on all muscle groups and relaxes throughout sleep. Thanks to the built-in plates, it is perfect for those who have joint injuries, sciatica, arthrosis, arthritis or osteochondrosis. With the help of them, a certain heating of the sore spot occurs, as well as the removal of pain.
• Bilateral. Such models make it possible to sleep on two sides, but they must be turned over every six months to avoid deformation.You can buy such a mattress both the same in terms of rigidity, and different, it all depends on personal preference.

It should be noted that each mattress is divided into classes:

• Premium. When creating such mattresses, multilayer structures are used, which ensure good sleep and rest. They are made of high quality materials (according to modern developments). To feel comfortable after sleep, not to be lethargic and not have problems with the spine, it is worth spending money on expensive elite models once. The owners of such products are not disappointed in their choice.

Fashion trends do not stand still. Products designed for sleeping, which are made precisely in the shape of a circle, are no longer a novelty for anyone. This option is ideal not only from an aesthetic point of view, but also from a functional one. The beauty of such a mattress is combined with convenience, since it has no corners or straight lines. But it should be noted that it needs to be turned around or turned over every month in order to avoid the appearance of depressions.

Modern models are usually made from quality materials. Uncomfortable wadded mattresses have long been a thing of the past, they are practically not found in stores. To choose a mattress that is as close as possible to your wishes, you need to consider several types of fillers. So you can completely determine the choice, make the right decision:

• Latex. This filler is one of the ideal ones because it is natural. It turns out latex from the sap of the Hevea tree, which undergoes special processing and gets the look we are used to. Due to its naturalness, latex does not allow the appearance of mites, various fungi, since it is environmentally friendly.

• Made of polyurethane foam (PPU). Such material is quite specific, but outwardly resembles ordinary foam rubber. It is hypoallergenic, resilient and elastic, has orthopedic properties. Many people think that artificial material or foam can do harm, but this is completely wrong. Polyurethane models do not contain any chemical compounds that could adversely affect health.

Any mattress, as a rule, supports the back and spine due to its inherent rigidity. Similar products are divided into several groups that everyone needs to know about - in order to choose the right mattress correctly:

• Soft. It is suitable for light or elderly people. You should not buy such a mattress for children and adolescents, since their skeleton is just being formed, and excessive softness can only worsen the situation.

It is necessary to approach the purchase of a mattress and a bed wisely and accurately. These two products simply have to fit each other perfectly in size, otherwise you can simply forget about healthy sleep. A mattress that is too large can hunch over, and a small one does not fill the bed completely, creating crevices.

Even an expensive mattress of premium quality and class, with the wrong choice, can bring a lot of unpleasant sensations, and in this case, you will get a minimum of pleasure and comfort from sleeping. To distinguish between mattresses, you need to group the available sizes.

Single: 80 × 190 cm; 80 × 200 cm; 80 × 180 cm; 80 × 160 cm; 90 × 200 cm.

One and a half: 120 × 190 cm; 120 × 195 cm; 120 × 200 cm; 110 × 190 cm; 150 × 200 cm; 135 × 200 cm.

2 bedrooms: 140 × 190 cm; 140 × 195 cm; 140 × 200 cm; 160 × 190 cm; 160 × 200 cm; 180 × 190 cm; 180 × 195 cm; 180 × 200 cm; 190-200 × 190 cm; 190-200 × 195 cm; 190-200 × 200 cm; 190 × 90 cm; 200 × 200 cm; 100 × 200 cm; 100 × 190 cm; 175 × 90 cm.

Standard for children: 60 × 120 cm; 70 × 190 cm; 70 × 160; 70 × 200 cm; 70 × 140 cm.

The height of the mattress depends solely on your taste preferences.

On the modern market there is a wide range of mattresses, each of which has special characteristics. Each manufacturer adapts as much as possible to a potential buyer, improving his product and making it original. But for the correct choice of a mattress, it is not enough to know their purpose and main points. Only with the help of reviews and proven companies can you compare all the information and purchase a really high-quality mattress that will last for many years:

• German mattresses are famous for their high quality and make a person's sleep as pleasant and healthy as possible. When creating any model, the Germans (thanks to innovative technologies and high-quality materials) create premium-class mattresses, from which you will feel the comfort on the very first night. In a word, there is simply no point in giving in to doubts about the quality of German mattresses.

• It is worth noting a manufacturer called Ikea. It is his products that are of high quality and affordable prices. The company provides a wide range of mattresses with a warranty period exceeding 20 years. If the mattress does not suit you, the store can return the money within three months from the date of purchase, which is very convenient. The company produces spring, springless, toppers and children's mattresses.

• Italian mattresses are considered the standard of durability, quality and maximum comfort in modern times. When creating any model, Italians use only new materials and technologies: latex foam or materials with shape memory. They successfully practice the use of materials with a porous texture, which makes the mattress hard, breathable and hypoallergenic. Mattresses are impregnated with natural compounds that affect the person only in a refreshing way.

It should be noted that the mattress must be selected not only by external criteria, but also by internal characteristics, relying on the material from which it is made, on the degree of rigidity and on the purpose associated with age, weight and disease.

A mattress for the elderly, as a rule, should be moderately soft, since a hard model can hurt joints and deteriorate health. The choice must be approached very seriously and carefully. Often this choice is an unsolvable problem, since most older people tend to be conservative. This, unfortunately, has a strong effect on health, since even the smallest cavity can cause spinal curvature.

Doctors recommend choosing orthopedic mattresses at this age, since they repeat all the curves of the body and return to their previous position as quickly as possible.

Everyone knows that extra pounds provide additional stress on the spine. Standard mattresses are not designed for such loads, sagging occurs, which negatively affects health. For obese people and with a lot of weight, sleep in this case will not be useful. On the contrary, a state of drowsiness and fatigue will appear.

Mattresses specially designed for this category of people can now be found from almost any manufacturer. The main features and criteria will be high strength, resistance to deformation, stress and orthopedic properties.

Mattresses for adults can be completely different in their design characteristics. It all depends only on personal wishes or on the recommendations of a doctor. Depending on the degree of the disease of the spine or joints, a hard or moderately hard mattress is selected, which can only provide the owner with pleasant sensations and ensure healthy sleep.

It is necessary to mention the mattress with a compressor - an anti-decubitus product. When buying such a product, you need to pay attention to what it is made of. The most suitable option would be a mattress made of rubberized fabric, which can be cleaned without much difficulty. He must have a blowing system so that there is no discomfort. But the most important thing is the presence of a silent compressor.

When choosing a model for a student, it is necessary to compare only hard mattresses or products with medium hardness (with independent springs). It is necessary to take into account the height and weight of the teenager - these are very important factors. The best option, of course, would be a mattress with natural filling, which will only have a positive effect on the health of the child.

Each mattress has its own lifespan. However, it is possible to extend it for several years, just by making some effort, carefully looking after it. The main thing is to put it correctly so that it does not deform, so that there are no additional folds or bumps.

The foundation plays an important role here. It is the wooden lattice that promotes the passage of air and has excellent anatomical properties. It will be more difficult to move a bed with an iron frame, you can only put it on the floor and forget about moving. However, having such a foundation, you can be sure that it will not break under the influence of a large body weight or jumping children.

The most comfortable cases are, of course, the cases with zippers., so it is worth taking a closer look at this particular type (because of the maximum degree of convenience).

Another indispensable part of a comfortable bed is the topper. It is a thin mattress and requires little maintenance. You just need to shake it out and wash it occasionally - in accordance with the characteristics of the material from which it is made.

When choosing any mattress, it is necessary to study all its characteristics, features and read reviews of people who have purchased this or that model from some manufacturers.

A large number of positive reviews are directed to mattresses by Askona Victory. They are quite actively advertised and popular, because they are endowed with such qualities as maintaining shape, bending in the necessary places for this.

Another good mattress (according to customer reviews) is Ormatek Season Max 4D Matrix. This model is double-sided, it is endowed with two sides, different in rigidity, which is very convenient. Thanks to its independent spring unit, natural ingredients and anatomical properties, it will not only bring pleasure to the wearer, but also ensure a good healthy sleep.

Perhaps the third popular mattress is the "Sporty Spring" by Schlaraffia. The company has been on the market for over 100 years, and therefore it has earned the trust of customers.It is this model that has not only positive characteristics, but also a very reasonable price, which cannot but please consumers. This mattress is different in that it is divided into two parts, each of which has a different firmness. Such a mattress is intended for couples, since each side is made taking into account the female and male anatomical features.
