A person devotes about a third of his life to sleep so that the body can fully recover. And the comfort and proper position of the body during sleep directly affect the quality of rest and health. A mattress is that important thing that is necessary to maintain the correct body position.
But how and where to choose it? The online store "O, Mattress" offers a large selection of quality products for sleeping, so buyers need to decide on the size and take into account the general recommendations of specialists.
5 general tips when choosing a mattress:
1. The age of a potential user is one of the main criteria. The fewer the years, the more rigid the model should be. Children under 3 years old need to buy the toughest models (they are usually made from coconut coir), because children's bones are easily deformed. And from 3 to 7 years old, excessive rigidity is useless, because the child may experience discomfort - medium-hard or springless will be a good option.
2. Teenagers are advised to sleep on medium-hardness products, in the manufacture of which a latex monolith was used.
3. People over 35 can pay attention to softer mattresses, because with age, blood vessels and joints become more sensitive to damage.
4. Problems with the spine (for example, scoliosis) require drastic measures - increased rigidity will be a good prevention.
5. You also need to take into account the height and weight of the buyer. Thin people need to sleep on soft models, otherwise, under a small body weight, the mattress will not bend and cause a curved spine. For a full person, on the contrary - a soft product will bend in the middle and lower the lower back significantly below the level of the whole body, so a hard mattress is needed.
Three main qualities of a mattress
Many people at the time of purchase start from the cost of the mattress, but this is wrong. A cheap product can harm the general well-being and health, because it will not meet the basic characteristics.
The mattress must be orthopedic. But a full-fledged orthopedic effect is achieved when the model is matched to your physical data. Then, during sleep, the necessary blood circulation, a relaxed state of the muscles and the correct position of the spine will be maintained.
The operational properties of the mattress and the condition of the human spine are affected by the rigidity, which is selected individually, based on the weight and age of the potential user.
But the service life also depends on the material used to fill the mattress. To make good models, a natural filler is used - it is responsible for maintaining its shape and safety for health. But such a product will cost more.
What mattresses are: with and without springs
For the base of the mattress, a central shock-absorbing block is always used, inside which springs or monolithic material can be located.
In spring models, the density of the springs varies from 100 to 1000 per m. The best products have up to 2000 springs per berth, and different materials can be used for the interlayer.
Springless mattresses, accordingly, have no springs. A monolith can consist of one layer or be combined, combining soft and hard fillers. Natural latex, which has antibacterial properties, is used as a natural filler. It will not cause allergies, is elastic and comfortable to sleep.
Buying a mattress is a responsible decision, on which a good rest and health depends. When choosing, you need to take into account individual physical parameters so as not to harm the spine and general well-being.
