Author: Synwin–Custom Mattress

According to the Sleep to Live study by the National Sleep Association, among sleeping appliances, mattresses and pillows have a far greater impact on human sleep than bed frames, bedding, bedroom accessories, etc. However, according to consumer surveys, 70% of Chinese people tend to ignore mattresses when they buy furniture. Misunderstanding 1: Bedding first buys bed Correct answer: Mattress should be selected first There are different opinions on whether to buy a bed frame or a mattress first.

Most of the people who buy bedding first look at the bed frame, and some of them simply move back to the set of beds. Do you know that the mattresses in the sets are guaranteed to be of good quality? In recent years, how many inferior mattresses have been exposed by the Internet TV media , do you still dare to save trouble and choose such a mattress? We can no longer ignore our health like this. It is the mattress, not the bed frame, that directly supports the body during sleep. Mattresses are in close contact, and the quality of the mattress directly affects the health of the body. Misunderstanding 2: Soft cushion hurts the spine Correct solution: Hard board hurts more The hardness of the mattress varies from person to person. Why do parents like hard plank beds? It's just because they have slept on a plank since they were young, and their bodies have long been accustomed to hard planks. In fact, their spines have long been damaged.

According to the four physiological curvatures of the human spine, its ideal state is a natural "S" shape. A mattress that is too hard destroys the natural physiological curvature of the spine and may cause physiological phenomena such as intervertebral disc hyperplasia. The correct choice is that the supporting force of the mattress must be good, and the softness and hardness vary from person to person, and you feel the best comfort. When purchasing, it is best to lie on the mattress and turn around repeatedly to personally feel whether the elasticity of the mattress suits your needs.

Misunderstanding 3: The higher the price, the better. Correct answer: Everyone's physical condition is different. There is no best, only the most suitable for you. Choose environmentally friendly materials The price gap of mattresses on the market is staggering, some sell for several thousand yuan, and some sell for tens of thousands of yuan. According to the general logic, in this highly competitive market, the price is definitely not bad, this idea is wrong.

In fact, most mattresses are modular products produced by the factory, and the price is mainly determined by the difference of materials, which is not suitable for everyone. When consumers choose a mattress, they must choose it scientifically according to their physical condition, and it is best to tailor it according to their own body. Environmental protection is the first factor in choosing mattress materials. 70%-80% of human skin will directly contact the mattress. Mattress materials have a great impact on our skin health.

Misunderstanding 4: Mattresses are used for a lifetime Correct solution: Can a mattress with a limited period of time be used for a lifetime? The answer is: No! At present, the service life of most domestic mattress brands is 5-10 years, and some of the better imported mattress brands, The period of use is 10-15 years. In fact, even if the mattress is of the best material, after being squeezed for a long time by the weight of the human body, it is inevitable that the elasticity will be fatigued or deformed, and even the surface will be damaged and the spring will collapse. The body can also have adverse effects, so when the mattress at home is uncomfortable to sleep on, it is time to consider replacing it. Generally speaking, no-turn mattresses are more advanced and last longer than double-turn mattresses.

It is recommended to take care of the mattress about half a year, which can effectively prolong the service life of the mattress.
