Mattress selection tips

1. Types and characteristics 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 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: spring mattresses, palm mattresses, latex mattresses, water mattresses, air mattresses, magnetic mattresses, etc. In these mattresses, spring mattresses account for a larger proportion.

    Palm mattress: It is woven from palm fiber, generally hard, or hard with softer. The price of the mattress is relatively low. It has natural palm smell when used, poor durability, easy to collapse and deform, poor supporting performance, poor maintenance and easy to moth or mold.

    Modern palm mattress: It is made of mountain palm or coconut palm with modern adhesive. It has the characteristics of environmental protection.

    Latex mattress: made of polyurethane compounds, also known as PU foam mattresses. It has high softness and strong water absorption, but the elasticity and ventilation are insufficient, so the mattress is easy to get wet.

    Spring mattress: It is a modern commonly used mattress with better performance, and its cushion core is composed of springs. The cushion has the advantages of good elasticity, better support, strong air permeability, and durability.

    Inflatable mattress: The mattress is made of excellent materials, environmentally friendly and safe, has the characteristics of health care, easy to store, and convenient to carry. It is suitable for home and travel

    Water mattress: Using the principle of buoyancy, it has the characteristics of buoyant sleep, dynamic sleep, warm in winter and cool in summer, and hyperthermia.

    Magnetic mattress: On the basis of a spring mattress, a special magnetic sheet is placed on the surface of the mattress to generate a stable magnetic field, and the biological effect of the magnetic field is used to achieve sedation, pain relief, improve blood circulation, reduce swelling, etc. It is a health-care mattress.

    In short, when choosing a mattress, you should choose according to each person's specific situation, as well as the brand and quality of the mattress itself. The key is to meet the requirements of health care and comfort.

2. How to choose the right mattress

    One-third of life is spent in sleep. The four major indicators of whether people have "healthy sleep" are: adequate sleep, sufficient time, good quality, and high efficiency; easy to fall asleep; continuous sleep without interruption; Deep sleep, waking up, tiredness, etc. The quality of sleep is closely related to the mattress. When choosing a mattress, consumers can choose from the permeability, decompression, support, conformability, bed surface tension, sleep temperature, and sleep humidity of the mattress. Purchase a mattress of the right type and good quality.

      Since each person's specific situation is different, such as weight, height, fat and thin, personal living habits, preferences, etc., people should choose according to their own specific circumstances, local climate and personal economic income conditions when buying mattresses. . One of the most basic requirements is to maintain the lumbar spine physiological lordosis when lying on the back, and the body curve is normal; when lying on the side, the lumbar spine should not bend or bend sideways.

3. Is the mattress hard or soft?

    There are big differences between Chinese and Western consumers in terms of the hardness and hardness of mattresses. Chinese consumers prefer harder mattresses, while Western consumers prefer softer mattresses. What is the appropriate hardness of the mattress? This is a general concern of consumers. It is scientifically proven that soft mattresses will reduce spine support, and hard mattresses are not comfortable enough, so too hard or soft mattresses are not good for healthy sleep. The softness of the mattress directly affects the quality of sleep. Compared with the harder plank mattress and the softer sponge bed, the spring mattress with moderate hardness is more conducive to getting a good sleep.

    A flexible mattress is very important to the comfort of the human body and the quality of sleep. The spring mattress has a relatively uniform and reasonable distribution of the body support force, which can not only play a sufficient supporting role, but also ensure a reasonable spine physiological curvature; using a spring mattress to sleep more peacefully, improve overall sleep efficiency, and wake up the body Comfort and mental state are better. Using a spring mattress can get a higher quality sleep than using a wooden or foam mattress.

 4. Evaluate what to look at for the 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 the mattress's functionality, comfort, and safety in use.

    The factors that affect the functionality of the mattress include: stability, fixability, weight, friction characteristics between the cushion and the cushion cover, thickness, appearance, price, durability and retention characteristics; factors that affect the comfort of the mattress include: pressure distribution , Shear force/friction force, humidity, temperature, stability and other factors; factors that affect the safety of the mattress include: mattress pressure distribution, stability, shear force/friction, temperature, temperature, durability, Source of infection control, mites control, cleaning, flame retardancy, etc.

    In addition, the mattress material requires density, hardness, resilience, damping, encapsulation, ventilation, heat dissipation, and waterproofing. The mattress produced must meet the direct consumption needs of users such as self-feeling, maximum allowable contact interface, posture, mobile decompression ability, skin condition, and after-sales service.
