Basic knowledge of foam mattresses

Foam mattresses, also known as foam mattresses, are mattresses made of foam as the main material. Of course, the foam materials used in sponge mattresses are still very rich. At present, there are three most common foam mattresses on the market: memory foam mattresses, polyurethane foam mattresses, and high-elastic foam mattresses. The biggest difference between these foam mattresses is that they are different in terms of comfort, which can meet the needs of individual consumers for mattresses.

Advantages: temperature sensing + absorption of human body weight + good support The biggest feature of foam mattresses is that they have temperature sensing characteristics. Simply put, when the foam mattress feels human body temperature, the surface particles soften, and the pressure area is gradually and evenly distributed. Thereby eliminating the pressure brought by the human body to the mattress, so that the human blood circulation will not be oppressed. Its biggest feature is that it can absorb the weight of the human body, and when a person lies on it, it feels like floating in the air, with excellent resilience. The foams generally used in high-elastic foam mattresses and memory foam mattresses are all plant-made foams. The biggest advantage is that they have good resilience and support.

Among them, the most common in the market is the polyurethane foam mattress, that is, the memory foam mattress, which is a popular mattress in recent years and belongs to the slow-resilience mattress. The advantages of memory foam mattresses are low resilience and excellent support: low resilience means that when the head and body lie down, the pillow and mattress will not rebound immediately, but can be fixed in one place, and the memory of the human spine S-curve conforms to the bed The pad provides superior support for the back, and lying on it can quickly eliminate fatigue and relax muscle tightness. After the pressure is released, it will gradually return to its original state.

Self-sensing temperature: The memory foam will change the hardness with the change of temperature. The human body sleeps on the memory pad, and the mattress can sense the temperature of the human body and remember the unique shape of each part, and shape the object to reduce the number of turning over and waking up in the middle of the night. . Suction pressure buffer: Memory foam can absorb the body's weight distribution and weight, effectively relieve the pressure when the body and the mattress are in contact with the mattress, and achieve the effect of supporting the body's weight and preventing waist injuries. Protect the body: Because it can absorb strong falling pressure to play a buffer function, it has a good protective effect on the body, and can provide stable and healthy sleep quality for patients with spondylosis and the elderly.

Stable and silent: When sleeping with your partner, if one of them turns over frequently, it may affect the other. The unique pressure-releasing and shock-absorbing properties of memory foam prevent mutual sleep disturbances and provide really good sleep quality. . Antibacterial and anti-mildew: With complete antibacterial treatment, the dust-free particles can achieve real anti-bacteria, dust-proof and mildew-proof. Disadvantages: easy deformation + no heat dissipation First of all, foam mattresses have some unique characteristics of plants because they are often made of natural plants.

The biggest disadvantage of foam mattress is that it is easy to deform, and it is not easy to dissipate heat. It has the characteristics of heat storage. It is good in winter. And in the winter, older memory mattresses also stiffen when the temperature drops. Tips: Some manufacturers add anti-freeze induction glue to the new generation of silicone mattresses to overcome the shortcomings of general memory mattresses that will gradually harden.

Good memory foam products on the market must have a foaming density of at least 40 or more, and can feel its low resilience, high viscosity, memory and pressure absorption functions when used. In addition, some consumers feel that the mattress is too soft, and it is recommended to choose a mattress style that combines memory foam and a separate cylinder, which can increase the support and elasticity of the mattress and make sleeping more comfortable. General review of mattresses: Foam mattresses are becoming more and more popular. They can absorb body pressure, but they are easy to store heat and are easily affected by temperature. Pay attention to temperature control when using them.
