The importance of mattresses for a family is self-evident, and its own functionality determines our sleep quality, lumbar spine and other health problems. So how to choose a mattress?Next, we will analyze how to choose a mattress from seven aspects: thickness, size, fabric, filler, support layer, sleeping feeling, and brand cost performance, so as to help you spend less money and buy a mattress that suits you!
First, the composition of the mattress and its function.
A mattress is mainly composed of a fabric layer, a padding layer and a support layer.
Fabric layer: Located on the top layer of the mattress, responsible for the look and feel. When choosing a fabric layer, attention should be paid to the weight of grams, anti-pilling properties, and anti-mildew and antibacterial functions.
Padding layer: Also known as the comfort layer, it determines the firmness and comfort of the mattress. Commonly used materials include latex, memory foam, sponge, mountain palm, coconut palm and 3D materials.
Support layer: The core part of the mattress, which is responsible for supporting performance. Common materials include whole-net springs, independent pocket springs, mountain palm and coconut palm.
Second, how to choose the right mattress?It can be based on the following aspects.
1. Thickness. After sorting out your own situation, combined with the height of the bed, (usually the height of the bed + mattress is 50-60cm is a reasonable height) to determine the interval value of the thickness of the mattress. A tall box bed or tatami mat: 10-15cm
Frame structure bed slats are low: 20-25cm
2. Size. Common sizes of mattresses: Width: 12m\1.5m\1.8m；Width: 19\2.0m
3. Fabric. Chemical fiber fabrics: good and poor air permeability, but ** low.
Knitted fabrics: moisture absorption and breathability, you need to pay attention to the gram weight when purchasing, and choose a high gram weight.
3D fabric: good breathability, good resilience, easy to clean, mildew-proof and not easy to get wet, but **expensive.
4. Select fillers.
Latex: natural environmental protection, safe and non-toxic, soft and elastic, breathable and antibacterial and anti-mite, pay attention to the thickness, content and origin when choosing, generally better natural latex raw materials are from Thailand and Malaysia and other places.
Memory foam: good wrapping, poor air permeability, try to choose non-warm when choosing.
Palm: Breathable and environmentally friendly, it feels hard to sleep and supportive, but low-quality materials can be moldy and moth-eaten, and may contain glue.
5. a support layer.
Whole mesh spring: strong support, good air permeability, but there will be noise.
Independent pocket springs: the silent effect is very disturbing, but the support is relatively poor.
When purchasing, the line diameter is selected 20-2.2. The number of laps is six and a half laps.
6. Choose a sense of sleep.
Prefer to be soft: choose independent pocket springs + latex.
Prefer to be hard: choose palm + whole net spring.
Moderate hardness and softness: memory foam latex + whole net spring (combined with other mattresses).
3. Detailed explanation of mattress structure and material.
The material inside the mattress can be divided into the following five types:
Springs (including Bonnier springs, mesh springs, Grace springs and individual pocket springs):
1) Bonnier spring: a traditional whole-net spring, the springs are connected to each other with a steel wire. The advantage is that it is supportive and affordable, but the comfort is poor and the anti-interference is weak, and it is mainly used in low-end mattresses.
2) Whole mesh spring: connected by a steel wire from end to end, in a Z-shaped structure. The advantages are stable structure, strong support, and long service life, but the anti-interference performance is still poor.
3) Posture Spring: Also known as LFK open spring, the size of the spring opening is different according to the pressure change. It is characterized by good fit, but poor anti-interference, and there may be abnormal noise when turning over.
4) Independent pocket springs: Each spring is packed in a bag independently, and then sealed by glue or ultrasound. It has strong anti-interference and high fit, and can withstand the pressure of all parts of the body evenly, so that the body will not be suspended and sore.
Palm mat (mountain palm, coconut palm):
1) Mountain Brown: **Taller, thicker, longer, elastic and flexible fibers.
2) Coconut palm: ** lower, shorter fiber, less elastic and flexible than mountain palm.
Latex (natural latex, synthetic latex):
Latex is characterized by good support for the human body.
Memory foam: Memory foam, also known as slow rebound sponge, is silent and anti-interference, and has good support for the human body, but it is easy to be stuffy.
3D material: 3D material is a new type of material layer, which is composed of double-sided mesh and intermediate connecting wire. It is characterized by excellent breathability, elasticity and support, but ** high.
Summary: The choice of mattress needs to be based on your own needs and preferences, combined with the thickness, size, fabric, filling, support layer, sleeping feeling, brand cost performance and other factors of the mattress to choose a mattress that suits you.
