How to evaluate the pros and cons of mattresses In the 1980s, a new theory, the mattress theory, was created and developed. According to the mattress theory, there are the following 3 factors to evaluate the quality of a mattress. (l) Functional mattresses should be able to provide a suitable microenvironment for people's sleep, so that both the mind and body can be fully rested, so as to eliminate fatigue and concentrate energy.

It should have good stability and hold, be of the right size, weight and thickness, have good friction properties between the cushion and the cover, be attractive, affordable, durable and easy to clean. (2) The main structure of the comfortable mattress should conform to the principles of human mechanics. The firmness of the mattress is very important.

An excellent mattress will only make people's head, shoulders, hips, hips, stomps and other parts in contact with the bed, while other parts of the body are not fully implemented. It causes the weight of the body to compress local blood vessels, preventing smooth blood circulation. A mattress that is too soft can provide the body with the largest support surface, which can reduce the local pressure on the compressed tissue layer, so as not to hinder blood circulation.

However, it does not provide moderate support and can cause improper bending of the back, resulting in body aches. If a person frequently turns over during a night's sleep, a mattress that lacks support can consume too much energy and wake up feeling tired in the morning. Generally speaking, a mattress with good comfort should provide good support for the sleeping human body.

No matter what sleeping position a person sleeps in, the curvature of the spine basically conforms to the normal physiological curve. Therefore, a mattress with good comfort must have certain elasticity and hardness. In addition, comfort includes good thermal conductivity and breathable moisture resistance.

(3) Safety There are many indicators for the safety of mattresses, such as good flame retardancy of mattress materials; people lying on the bed for a long time without harming soft tissues; the chemical composition of mattress materials does not affect people's health, etc. . The indicators of mattress materials include density, hardness, resilience, damping, encapsulation, ventilation and heat dissipation, and waterproof performance. Several common mattress materials have their own characteristics.

The sponge mattress has good tolerance, high shear force, good dynamic characteristics, good resilience, but poor temperature characteristics. The resilience foam mattress has good tolerance, high shear force, good mixed resilience and temperature characteristics. The spring mattress has good elasticity, strong support, large shearing force and breathability.

The solid gel mattress has poor encapsulation (incompressible), low shear force, and large heat capacity, which helps to cool the microenvironment. The brown bed has good air permeability. Special populations and patients with some diseases should use mattresses that are suitable for them.

If the elderly want to choose a mattress according to their sleeping habits, they should choose a firmer mattress, and the bed frame should be moderately high to prevent difficulty in getting up; the bed for patients with high blood pressure should not be too low; patients with hunchbacks also need a hard bed: the side of the spine The bed of the curved patient should keep the waist and spine in a normal physiological curvature; the paralyzed patient should choose a removable mattress to facilitate the transfer; the mattress of the crib should have a moisture-proof function.
