One-third of life is spent in sleep, and the four major indicators to measure whether people have “healthy sleep” are: sufficient sleep, sufficient time, good quality and high efficiency; easy to fall asleep; continuous sleep without interruption; Deep sleep, wake up tiredness and so on. The quality of sleep is closely related to the mattress. When choosing a mattress, consumers can choose from the aspects of the mattress’s permeability, decompression, support, fit, bed surface tension, sleep temperature and sleep humidity. Buy a mattress of the right type and of good quality.
Because each person’s specific situation is different, such as weight, height, fat and thin, and personal living habits, preferences, etc., people should choose according to their own specific situation, local climate and personal economic income conditions when purchasing a mattress. . The most basic requirement is to maintain the physiological lordosis of the lumbar spine and normal body curves when lying on the back; when lying on the side, the lumbar spine should not be bent or sideways.
Types of Mattresses
Sleep is the foundation of health. How can we have healthy sleep? In addition to work, life, physical, psychological and other reasons, having healthy bedding that is “hygienic, comfortable, beautiful, and durable” is the key to obtaining high-quality sleep.
With the continuous progress of material civilization and technology, the types of mattresses used by modern people are gradually becoming diversified, mainly including: spring mattresses, palm mattresses, latex mattresses, water mattresses, air mattresses, magnetic mattresses, etc. , Among these mattresses, spring mattresses account for a large proportion.
Palm mattress: It is made of palm fiber, generally hard, or slightly soft. The price of this mattress is relatively low. It has a natural palm smell when used, poor durability, easy to collapse and deform, poor supporting performance, and easy to be moth-eaten or moldy if it is not well maintained.
Modern brown mattress: made of mountain palm or coconut palm with modern adhesives. It has the characteristics of environmental protection.
Latex mattress: It is made of polyurethane compounds, also known as PU foam mattress. It has high softness and strong water absorption, but lacks elasticity and ventilation, so the mattress is easy to get wet.
Spring mattress: It is a mattress commonly used in modern times with better performance, and its core is composed of springs. The pad has the advantages of good elasticity, good support, strong air permeability and durability.
Inflatable mattress: The mattress is made of excellent materials, environmentally friendly and safe. It has the characteristics of health care, easy storage, and convenient portability. It is suitable for home use and travel.
Water mattress: Utilizing the principle of buoyancy, it has the characteristics of buoyancy sleep, dynamic sleep, warm in winter and cool in summer, and heat therapy.
Magnetic mattress: On the basis of the spring mattress, a special magnetic sheet is placed on the surface of the mattress to generate a stable magnetic field, and use the biological effect of the magnetic field to achieve sedation, pain relief, improve blood circulation, detumescence, etc. The function belongs to the health care mattress.
How to choose the right mattress?
There is a big difference between Chinese and Western consumers in the softness and hardness requirements of mattresses. Chinese consumers prefer harder mattresses, while Western consumers prefer soft mattresses. What kind of softness is suitable for space mattresses? This is a question that consumers generally care about. It has been scientifically proven that a soft mattress will reduce spine support, and a hard mattress is not comfortable enough, so a mattress that is too hard or too soft is not good for healthy sleep. The hardness of the mattress directly affects the quality of sleep. Compared with the hard plank mattress and soft sponge bed, the spring mattress with moderate hardness is more conducive to getting a good sleep.
A resilient mattress is crucial to human comfort and sleep quality. The spring mattress distributes the support force of the body more evenly and reasonably, which can not only play a sufficient supporting role, but also ensure a reasonable physiological curvature of the spine; use a spring mattress to sleep more stably, improve the total sleep efficiency, and wake up with a healthy body. Comfortable and mental state is better. You can get a higher quality sleep with a spring mattress than with a plank or foam mattress.
What to look for when buying a mattress?
People’s general requirements for mattresses are beautiful appearance, smooth surface, dry, breathable, moderate thickness, not easy to deform, cheap and good quality, durable, easy to maintain and so on. The standard for professional evaluation of mattresses is to analyze from the perspectives of mattress functionality, comfort, and use safety.
Factors that affect the functionality of a mattress include: stability, firmness, weight, frictional properties between the pad and cover, thickness, appearance, price, durability, and retention characteristics; factors that affect mattress comfort include: pressure distribution , shear force/friction force, humidity, temperature, stability and other factors; factors that affect the safety of mattress use include: pressure distribution, stability, shear force/friction force, temperature, humidity, durability, Infection source control, mite prevention, cleaning, flame retardancy, etc.
In addition, mattress materials require density, hardness, resilience, damping, encapsulation, ventilation and heat dissipation, and waterproofing. The produced mattress should satisfy the user’s self-perception, maximum allowable contact interface, posture, movement decompression ability, and skin condition. The direct demand of consumption such as after-sales service.
