Springless mattresses

The rest of a modern person does not tolerate discomfort. Whereas previously attention was only paid to comfort, today mattresses must be "correct", ensuring the correct position of the body during rest or sleep. And if spring blocks are a rather controversial topic, springless mattresses are recognized as excellent mats, they have a number of advantages, and therefore are in demand among buyers.

Springless mattresses are universal. Today, manufacturers offer buyers a lot of new products, as well as proven designs that can be used for their intended purpose and as an interior item (in oriental style). Such mats are unique: they allow you to create a full-fledged sleeping place for a bed, sofa and even a folding bed. Some models are specially designed for the floor. They save the usable area of ​​a small room and allow, if necessary, to accommodate guests for the night.

Springless mattresses have a lot of differences and advantages. They:

• are made of high-quality and modern hypoallergenic materials of natural and synthetic origin (they do not irritate the user's skin and are suitable even for allergy sufferers);
• safe for the sleeping person, since they do not contain metal elements that can break through the padding and injure the skin with increased pressure on the mattress;
• completely silent under load (they do not have an annoying sound, like in spring counterparts);
• in operation, they do not electrify and do not create a magnetic field, therefore they do not have a harmful effect on the user's body;
• due to their structure, they have excellent air permeability, therefore, the formation of fungus, mold and linen mites is not possible in them;
• lightweight, but elastic, elastic and at the same time not subject to deformation and caking;
• are made taking into account different age groups of users (children, teenagers, adults and special preventive lines);

• differ in different density, thanks to which the owner has the opportunity to choose the most optimal option, taking into account their preferences and medical indicators;
• have a different block structure, due to which they differ in the height of the mat and imply different applications (guest option, topper, daily use);
• are made of universal size, due to which they are suitable for surfaces with and without limiters (sidewalls);
• supplemented by various options, which increases quality, practical characteristics and service life;
• differ in the size of the berth, are made for one, two or three users, are developed taking into account the permissible weight load for each specific parameter;
• depending on the composition of the fillers and the structure of the block, they have a different cost, allowing the buyer to choose an option according to his taste and wallet.
• at the request of the client, they can be made to order, taking into account preferences.

Some of the models on a springless basis have recommendations from orthopedists and pediatricians, who consider such designs not only convenient, but also useful. It is springless mattresses that are able to provide the correct support for the user's body while he is sleeping. Models with a certain padding contribute to the correct formation of the curvature of the baby's spine. For children, they are relevant especially during the period of skeletal development. As for adults, springless mattresses, having a certain effect, are the prevention of diseases of the musculoskeletal system, save from pain in osteochondrosis, arthritis, posture disorders, scoliosis, numbness of the extremities.

Besides strengths, springless mattresses have several disadvantages. They:

• have excellent characteristics mainly in expensive models;
• depending on the density of the filler, they may have a short service life;
• some models do not have a removable cover that makes it easier to care for the unit;
• are able to absorb moisture, therefore they need regular ventilation and drying in a natural way;
• not in all models are mobile, they cannot always be rolled up and put into a linen drawer or closet;
• have restrictions on the permissible load, therefore, they require an exact purchase in compliance with the user's weight;
• not always suitable for people with excess weight (solid structures are uncomfortable or can break under the weight of more than 140 kg);
• require careful use, otherwise they shorten the service life or break.

Another disadvantage of such mattresses is the high price: most models with a preventive or other effect are much more expensive than their counterparts. Not every user can buy such products.

The difference between spring mattresses and springless mattresses lies in the base itself. In the first case, it is a metal mesh consisting of a frame to which vertical twisted steel elements are attached. In the second case, the basis is a layer of the selected material, according to which the mattress is named (foam, coconut, latex).

Spring mattresses are of two types:

• addicted;
• independent.

In the first block (bonnel), in addition to fixing to the upper and lower edges of the mesh frame, there is a connection between the springs themselves. Mattresses on independent springs are arranged differently: they are packed in sole covers made of breathable fabric, so the mesh is connected at the expense of the covers themselves.

A small difference in the block, but it is she who determines the operation of the springs:

• in the dependent type of block, the back does not have support (the sleeping postures are always unnatural);
• in an independent version, only those springs work on which pressure is applied.

The operation of a springless mattress is more similar to the second option, although such mats have no springiness. Instead, the filler is distinguished by excellent elasticity, pushing out the body. It is this factor that must be borne in mind when buying a high-quality block without springs (a good mattress pushes out a clenched fist). The main line of springless mattresses is designed for 10 - 12 years. Premium designs can last up to 15 years or more (approximately, like the spring counterparts of the independent type).

Springless mattresses are of three types:

• Monolithic... Models from one (solid) layer of filler, which does not have any additives to vary the stiffness;
• Combined... These are products that have a thick layer of the main filler at the base, equipped with additional packing of a different composition and density along the upper and lower edges;
• Puff... Variants, which are layers, of the same thickness (3-4 cm), but different in density and composition.

In addition, all springless mattresses differ in height. They are thin (toppers from 2 to 10 cm), standard (up to 15 - 18 cm) and voluminous (19 - 24, sometimes 25 - 26 cm).

Toppers are descendants of the futon (a traditional Japanese mattress and blanket set that has been a poor man's bed since the 13th century). They are designed to level an existing sleeping bed. These products can be called mattress covers, they give comfort, covering the surfaces of old mattresses with dents, connecting sofa modules and a folding bed into a whole berth without joints. Models from 8 to 10 cm are mainly an orthopedic line for children, as well as mats for yoga and other physical exercises. Combined fluffy mattresses are complex structures of a composite plan, sometimes having several layers of padding of different thickness and composition.

By the type of hardness, springless mattresses can be soft, moderately hard and hard.The first models are suitable for elderly people whose muscles are weakened. The latter are the golden mean, combining the best properties of hard blocks and the comfort of soft ones. Rigid constructions seem rude only in words. In fact, they are comfortable and provide complete relaxation of the muscles of the body overnight.

The additional effect of the mattress is the pride of each brand. Today companies offer the following designs:

• Orthopedic. Models that make sleep not only comfortable, but also correct (back support and prevention of its curvature);
• With thermoregulation... "Winter-summer" options, with support for warmth in the cold season and providing coolness in the heat;
• Anatomical... Products made of viscoelastic foam that take the shape of the body and gently envelop it when heated (cooling returns the material to its original form);
• Bilateral with asymmetry on one side... Unique design for partners with different weights (different degrees of loading of two halves of the block on one side);
• Traction. Development of new technologies, unique in the presence of special air cushions for each zone of the spine;
• Bilateral with different stiffness of the sides... Options for varying the surface hardness of the berth.

Padding is the main ingredient of a mattress, which determines all of its properties. Today, innovative technologies are used in the development of springless mattresses, creating models with different levels of pressure on the mat. The line of the most popular types of filler, most demanded by buyers, includes:

• coconut coir;
• natural latex;
• artificial latex;
• memory foam;
• struttoplast;
• holofiber;
• felt;
• sheep or camel wool;
• linen and cotton.

• Natural latex is the best stuffing. It has a structure with hollow holes in the form of cells of different depths and diameters. Due to this feature, a different level of body support is created on each zone of the mattress.
• Latex made from artificial material is called polyurethane foam. By its structure, it is a foamed plastic impregnated with a small percentage of latex. PUF has no cavities, however, it is quite dense and rigid, although less elastic compared to the natural analogue obtained from hevea juice.

• Coconut fiber (coir) - a product of natural origin, produced from coconut pericarp fleece. This is the toughest filler, it is impregnated with latex, which improves its properties, does not compress. Strutfiber and holofiber are fibrous stuffing, often used as additional layers, giving the mattress the desired softness without detracting from the stiffness indicators. Warm, linen and cotton padding is an addition to the base, due to which the mattress acquires thermoregulatory properties.

One of the advantages of springless mattresses is a wide range of sizes. Models are conventionally divided into single, one and a half and double. Each mattress has its own indicators of length, width and height, which are indicated in centimeters, and sometimes millimeters (for example, 1860x800, 2000x1800 mm). Usually, the parameters are subject to the standard dimensions of the bed or sofa bed. If a non-standard unit is needed, the manufacturer is always ready to meet the client's needs, making the product according to his preferences.

Dimensions of small mattresses without springs are 70x140, 90x170, 75x180, 90x185, 85x190, 80x190, 90x190, 100x190, 120x190, 140x190, 80x200, 90x200, 120x200, 140x200 cm. Universal models of one-and-a-half mattresses are more spacious: their length and width are 160x200, 180x200 width , 190x200 cm. The dimensions of a double bed are luxurious today and often allow a family of three (parents with a child) to sit on a mattress. Such mats range from 200x200 to 210x210 and 210x240 cm.

The popular thickness of springless blocks today varies from 8 to 26 cm. The line of current models includes both thin and tall products.From toppers, mats of 10 cm in height are in demand, from standard options - products 20 cm in thickness.

The modern market offers a huge selection of models of springless mattresses. To understand how current mats look like without springs, what are their features and characteristics, you can pay attention to the products of proven brands:

• Ormatek. A model range for all family members, capable of withstanding temperature extremes without loss of quality and performance (excellent breathable mattresses that reduce back pressure on human tissues);
• Futon... Medium-hard elastic mats made of polyurethane foam with a cotton additive that gives the structures puffiness (budget transformer mattresses with a height of up to 21 cm and a permissible load of up to 110 kg, easy to transport);
• Dormeo... A line of breathable mattresses of the Italian manufacturer, featuring interspersed silver threads, bamboo additives (they have removable covers that simplify care, suitable for people suffering from increased sweating);
• Askona... A line of medium-hard mattresses made of environmentally friendly natural latex and coir with a maximum permissible load of up to 110 kg (the collection includes composite products for different ages, with high elasticity and elasticity);
• Dreamline... Mattresses of medium hardness made of synthetic latex, characterized by a maximum load of up to 110 kg, the presence of a quilted jacquard cover on a padding polyester (high-quality products designed for long-term use).

Buying a mattress is a solid matter, because comfort and proper rest will depend on the quality and characteristics of the block.

Having decided on the model, you can go to the store: the choice of the mat cannot be in absentia, because in this case it is impossible to see what exactly the seller is offering for sale.

Having chosen a model in the store, it is worthwhile to "try on" the mat, because it is difficult to have an idea of ​​convenience without touching the mattress. Then it is worth clarifying the presence of a quality certificate, hypoallergenicity of the filler and cover, as well as the seller's guarantee. If there are no problems with this, the product is of high quality.

When choosing, it is worth keeping in mind a few nuances:

• it is better not to consider a soft and cheap block: such mats are the most short-lived, do not have the necessary support, so the question of buying a new block may soon return to the agenda;
• products rolled into a roll and purchased as a guest option are not suitable for daily transformation (they are quickly deformed);
• for children, you should buy exclusively hard mattresses, you can double with different degrees of rigidity of the sides (hard and medium hard) or thermoregulation (to maintain warmth);
• a removable cover made of non-slip fabric is an additional plus of a high-quality mattress: it will simplify the care of the product and extend the life of the unit;
• the size of the mattress must match the space allotted for it (if there is not enough space, the block will bend, which will disrupt the support of the back);
• if the weight of the partners is different, it is worth taking a medium-hard double-sided block with asymmetry, buying a model from a latex base with a multilevel additive (combinations with coir, polyurethane foam);
• the block for the elderly should be soft.

When choosing models taking into account medical indicators, it is worth keeping in mind:

• in order to correctly select the rigidity and the desired effect of the mattress, you need to consult an orthopedic surgeon or therapist;
• if health allows, it is worth giving preference to a springless mattress of medium hardness (the body will not sink into the block, drown in it or hurt from the hard surface of a hard mat);
• thin mattresses are good for children only if they are made with an orthopedic effect (children's mattress - coconut, latex, composite with two layers of coir);
• there can be no foam rubber for children (it has no back support, even supplemented with hard layers);
• for people suffering from pain in the upper spine and with osteochondrosis, firm mattresses without springs are not recommended: this can aggravate the problem (the same rule applies to bedridden patients);
• for the prevention of spinal diseases, posture disorders, scoliosis, problems with blood flow, it is better to take a hard mattress made of latex or coir (monolithic and composite versions are relevant);
• overweight people are not suitable for hard mattresses, they need soft, however, with a good base of the bed.
