Mattress  – a soft thick litter for lying, also part of a bed or sofa with a wooden frame and springs inside that can be removed . There are mattresses filled with air or water.

Types of modern orthopedic mattresses

Modern orthopedic mattresses can be of two types: spring and springless.

The structure of a springless mattress

The springless mattress is formed by layers of latex or polyurethane monolith , as well as other fillers (coconut, cotton, wool, etc.). To create rigid models of springless mattresses, a combination of latex and coconut slabs thinner than a monolithic block is used.

The structure of a spring mattress

Spring block, fillers, auxiliary layer, cover – these are the main components of such a mattress. Spring blocks, in turn, are divided into dependent and independent.

Dependent spring block

The dependent spring block (dependent weave block, Bonnel, LFK) is so named because spiral-shaped springs are used to create it. Impact on one spring causes the movement of others. Mattresses mattressima.com with dependent springs appeared more than 150 years ago. Modern manufacturers that use dependent spring blocks, presenting them today in combination with high-quality materials layers and covers.

Mattresses in dependent spring blocks combine the tradition of comfort with an affordable price.

Independent spring block

Independent spring block (pocket-type spring block, independent springs, Pocket Springs, TFK, Multipocket, Vernestet, Interactive and others) – the result of modern technological developments. The springs that make up such a block are not interconnected and operate autonomously, providing maximum convenience. Pressing one spring does not affect the other. Each spring is placed in a separate case, and the covers are interconnected. The larger the number of springs per unit area, the higher the orthopedic effect of the mattress.

Mattress Fillers

The main function of the mattress filler is to distribute the load and give the mattress more or less rigidity / softness. There is a wide variety of types of fillers, manufacturers are constantly experimenting with materials and their processing. All fillers can be divided into two types: natural and artificial. The latter can be of two types: created from natural raw materials and specially processed, as well as fully synthetic. Special processing of natural materials helps to emphasize and improve some of their properties. Both natural and artificial materials have several advantages and specific properties. Often in modern orthopedic mattresses, natural and artificial fillers are used in combination with each other. The choice of filler and its combinations depends on the stiffness of the mattress, as well as its hypoallergenic properties.Soft

  • Natural cotton (cotton)
  • Wool
  • Linen
  • Natural latex ( Hevea juice ) is a hypoallergenic filler, withstands considerable weight, is durable but does not give off moisture.
  • Artificial latex belongs to materials of high rigidity
  • Polyurethane foam  – a budget option, high level of rigidity.
  • Gel or Memory Foam is a viscous, porous fluid that is responsive to the sleeping person’s load and contours.
  • Sintepon
  • Futon

Hard

  • Coconut coir  is a natural fiber with a high degree of rigidity.
  • Horse hair  is an environmentally friendly medium material, but can cause allergies.
  • Seaweed  – a hypoallergenic natural material with an anti-stress effect of moderate severity
  • Bamboo fiber
