Konke Mayelana: Omatilasi

UVirginia Lee Warren
1977 lena inguqulo yedijithali yendatshana evela ku-Times Print Archive, ngaphambi kokuthi iqale ku-inthanethi ngo-1996.
Ukuze ugcine lezi zihloko njengoba zivela ekuqaleni, i-Times ngeke izishintshe, izihlele, noma zizibuyekeze.
Kunamaphutha ezikhathi ezithile wokukopisha noma ezinye izinkinga phakathi nenqubo yokwenza idijithali.
Sicela uthumele umbiko wezinkinga ezinjalo ku-archid_feedback @ nytimes. com.
Iliphi ikhaya olisebenzisa ngaphezu kwanoma ubani omunye esikhathini esiqhubekayo?
Lona umatilasi ngaphandle uma ungumuntu ophuphayo, othanda i-hammock, noma unobuthongo ngempela.
Uzothenga eyodwa manje.
Uma kungenjalo manje, ngezinye izikhathi kuzoba nomatilasi omusha wekusasa lawo wonke umuntu, njengoba osetshenziswa manje ngeke uhlale unomphela.
Kunjalo, ufuna entsha yakho iphelele njengeyakho, njengoba ulenza ikhetheke.
Hhayi-ke, into engcono kakhulu okumele uyiqonde kusukela ekuqaleni ukuthi akufani nokuthenga itafula, isitulo noma okokugqoka. Omatilasi—
Ngoba izinto ezibenza basebenze zifihlwe kulawo makhizane amahle, angenacala (
Mhlawumbe uyaphuma)—
Kungaba nzima ngempela. Noma kunjalo.
Esitolo, isampula lisikwa ekhoneni ukuze ikhasimende ligqolozele ngaphakathi.
Ingaphakathi likamatilasi akulula ukuliqonda iningi lethu kunengaphakathi lesamukeli se-stereo.
Noma kunjalo, kuwumqondo omuhle ukufunda lezo ziphethu eziveziwe, amabhafa noma ama-insulators nama-liner.
Lokhu kuzokwenza umthengisi acabange ukuthi kukhona okwaziyo ngalezi zinto, futhi ungase ubuze, \"iyiphi ocabanga ukuthi imile kakhulu, ikhoyili ye-norden noma i-free end coil structure?
Uma impendulo ithi, \"Sithola lolu hlobo lokugcina lugculisa kakhulu.
Khona uzokwazi ukuthi yini oyifunayo.
Eqinisweni, amakhoyili angenalutho noma amahhala awavamile.
Uhlobo lwesithathu lokukhangisa
Isakhiwo sekhoyili ephaketheni-
Ikhoyili ngayinye ipakishwa ephaketheni layo elincane lendwangu.
Simmons.
Kodwa ngaphambi kokuthi singene ebhizinisini eliyinkimbinkimbi lemithombo
Bacishe banquma ukuthi uzogcina unjani umatilasi.
Masikhiphe okunye ukucatshangelwa kokuqala.
Ingabe ukumboza ukuthengwa kwalokho umenzi akubiza ngokuthi idivayisi yokulala?
Ingabe isisekelo sikamatilasi nebhokisi intwasahlobo-
Noma umatilasi nje?
Inhlangano Kazwelonke Yabakhiqizi Belineni Zombhede ifuna ngokwemvelo ukuthi uyithenge futhi iyakunxusa ngencwajana: \"Isisekelo sakho esidala akuwona umngane womatilasi wakho omusha.
Ngaphandle kwesisekelo esifanayo sekhwalithi efanayo, umatilasi wakho ngeke ukwazi ukuhlinzeka ngesevisi oyikhokhelayo, empeleni, ungase ube nesikhathi esifushane sokuphila.
\"Isitolo singancamela ukukudayisela izinto zokulala.
Kodwa kwezinye izimo, isisekelo esisha asiphoqelekile futhi singase singafanelekile.
Mhlawumbe umatilasi osaphelele wonakala ngokuzuma futhi nesisekelo sisaphelele.
Kulokhu, kubalulekile ukuthi usayizi kamatilasi omusha ufane ncamashi nesisekelo ozobe usigqokile ukuze ukwazi ukuphumula ngokukhululeka ngendlela ofisa ngayo.
Ngokuvamile, umatilasi ohlukile uzoba uhhafu wentengo yesethi futhi kufanele ukwazi ukuthola umatilasi omuhle ophindwe kabili ukusuka ku-$80 kuya ku-$125, uthenge ogcwele noma usuka ku-$115 uye ku-$155.
Uma kuthengiswa, intengo izoba ngaphansi kakhulu, cishe ngama-30%.
Uma uzochitha imali eningi kumatilasi, mhlawumbe kungcono uwuthenge.
Khona-ke lezi zingxenye ezimbili zingaguga ndawonye.
Mhlawumbe ufuna ukubeka umatilasi endaweni yesikhulumi, isibonelo, umatilasi wokhuni onama-drawers, onganikeza indawo yokugcina enhle kakhulu.
Abantu abaningi baphendukela kunkundla, futhi uma lokho kuyilokho okucabangayo, ungase ube nentshisekelo yokwazi ukuthi umthengi ubika ukuthi umphumela uzoba ngcono uma umatilasi uyigwebu.
Kunoma yikuphi, ucabangela umatilasi kuphela lapha.
Enye yazo inephutha kakhulu kunentwasahlobo yebhokisi.
Okokugcina, akudingeki ucabangele inkampani, inkampani eyengeziwe, inkampani enkulu noma ukungaguquguquki (
Yeka ukuthi ukuma komatilasi kufanelana kahle kanjani nomzimba wakho).
Futhi, isibambo asinandaba futhi akudingekile ukuba uqaphele uma sihlehliswa;
Akunakwenzeka ukuthi uphendule intwasahlobo yebhokisi.
Nokho, kungcono ukuthi umatilasi wokukhangisa ube nesibambo, ngaphandle kwalokho kuzomele ulwe nawo njalo uma uwuphendula.
Uma umkhaza ugoqa, kufanele kube njalo ezinhlangothini zombili;
Uma kungenjalo, khona-ke akukho okungahlehliswa kwangempela;
I-quilting ivumela umoya othile ukuthi ugeleze ngenkathi uhlangothi olungenayo i-quilting lungakhululekile ukulala.
Ufuna muphi usayizi?
Uma kuzwakala kuyinkinga engenamsebenzi ngoba usunombhede, kufanele wazi ukuthi ungakhuliswa ngamathrekhi ashibhile ama-stretcher. (
Umthengisi wakho womatilasi kufanele abe nawo. )
Ngakho-ke ingabe umatilasi omusha kufanele ube umatilasi ophindwe kabili ongu-35x75-inch noma umatilasi ophindwe kabili ubude obuyiyintshi engu-5?
Noma emibhedeni egcwele noma ephindwe kabili enesilinganiso esingu-53 by 80 esikhundleni sokujwayelekile 53 by 75?
Kodwa-ke, ngokweNhlangano Kazwelonke yabakhiqizi bezingubo zokulala, iNdlovukazi isiba indinganiso yemindeni yaseMelika ngokushesha.
\"Uma ufuna ukuba nesikhala esithe xaxa embhedeni, umbhede ongusayizi wenkosi uzokunikeza amayintshi angu-80 angu-76 noma angu-77 ngaphandle uma uwuthenga e-California;
Lapho, 84, 72.
Kodwa iNdlovukazi noma iNkosi ingase icele uhlaka olusha lombhede, olunemilenze eminingi nokusekelwa okuphambanayo, futhi ngeke lujabule ngempela ngaphandle kokuthi lungaba ezisekelweni ezimbili.
Kulula ukwenza imali.
Into elandelayo okufanele uyinqume ukuthi ufuna imodeli yangaphakathi yasentwasahlobo noma i-foam.
Uma ufuna ukwehluka, thenga ibhamuza.
Cishe u-10% kuphela wabathengi bakamatilasi abazokwenza lokho.
Lokhu kungase kube ngenxa yokuthi abantu bajwayele ukuzwa omatilasi basentwasahlobo.
Iguquguqukayo, iqinile futhi iyaguquguquka, inombono oqinile.
Kodwa i-Consumer Reports ithole ukuthi lezi zinhlobo ezimbili zegwebu, i-latex (noma i-carbamate)
Ngokuvamile, i-polyurethane ihambisana kakhulu nezidingo kunentwasahlobo yangaphakathi.
Imishini eminingi yegwebu ehloliwe idlule esivivinyweni esinzima \"sekhwalithi ethokomele esesimweni esihle\", kanti ngakolunye uhlangothi, \"idivayisi yentwasahlobo yangaphakathi ibonakale iguquguquka kakhulu;
Njengeqembu, babonisa ukulahlekelwa okukhulu kokuqina kanye nokuthambekela okukhulu kokucindezeleka noma ama-dimples.
Lezi zinhlobo ezimbili zegwebu zinezici zazo.
Abanye abantu bacabanga ukuthi umatilasi we-latex uzimisele kakhulu ukubuyisela isimo sawo;
Anyakaze kancane bese belapho balindele ukuphusha futhi.
I-Latex nayo ibiza kakhulu kunentwasahlobo yangaphakathi futhi ibiza kancane kune-polyurethane.
Ukukhangisa nge-polyurethane-
Ngokuvamile ishibhile kunentwasahlobo yangaphakathi, futhi ngokuvamile inamandla --
Ukubuyisela kuhamba kancane kune-latex, futhi ngenkathi ungase ube nomuzwa wokucwila kumatilasi lapho ulele kuwo, umuzwa uwonke uwubukhazikhazi.
Uma igwebu lishubile, inani lentengo liphezulu, ukujiya ngokuvamile kuhlobene nokuqina.
Kodwa asikwazi ukwenza noma yiliphi ilungiselelo lalokhu.
Abanye omatilasi abaqinile abakalwe embikweni womthengi bangama-cores angu-5 kuphela;
Inani eliphakeme kakhulu lama-7.
Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi igwebu liphakeme kangakanani, kufanele lilungiswe kukhiza.
Ubukhulu bomzimba owumgogodla buqhathaniswa nobukhulu obuphelele;
Kungase kube khona umehluko oyintshi noma ngaphezulu, kodwa ungakwenzi. ukukhathazeka;
Ingase ihlanganise amaphedi aphezulu kanye namaphedi angeziwe asiza ukukhululeka.
Futhi kumelwe sinake ukushuba jikelele;
Awufuni ukuthola ukuthi awunawo amashidi akho afakiwe kumatilasi wakho omusha.
Oh, naka ukuthi izingcezu zegwebu zibhaliwe yini kulebula;
Kungcono ukungachithi imali kukho.
Ayiqinile kakhulu noma iyanelisa kunegwebu eliqinile, futhi isiguge ngokulinganayo futhi u-Anna uyaqhuma.
Uma i-mattress ye-spring yangaphakathi ikhethiwe, khona-ke, imiphetho ephezulu nangaphansi ichazwa futhi iqiniswe ngocingo lwensimbi noma imigoqo yensimbi eyisicaba, ukuze ukwazi ukuhlala emaphethelweni ombhede futhi ngeke kube khona ama-dent.
Manje, ake sibuyele kulawo ma-Springs abaluleke kakhulu.
Uyakhumbula laba abathathu?
Umbiko wabathengi wathola ukuthi ukwakheka kwekhoyili yendabuko yokuphela-kuya-ekupheleni kunezinhlobonhlobo zokusebenza.
Ezinye izinhlobo ezimbili
Ikhoyili yephakethe kanye nekhoyili yesiphetho samahhala-
Yenza ngokulinganayo futhi kahle.
Izindinganiso zalezi zimboni ezintathu ziyi-steel 13.
Ngokuvamile, kukhona izihibe ezinhlanu ikhoyili ngayinye, futhi umatilasi wamawele kufanele okungenani ube namakhoyili angama-216;
Okugcwele, noma kabili, kufanele okungenani kube ngu-312.
Nokho, ukuze ngikubonise lolu chungechunge: Imikhiqizo yokulala ye-Eclipse, umatilasi wayo ungomunye womatilasi osetshenziswa uchungechunge lwehhotela i-Sheraton, okwenza umkhiqizo obizwa ngokuthi i-spine massage Deluxe, usayizi walo mkhiqizo ungamakhoyili angu-396 weNo. Insimbi eyi-15, enezihibe ezi-5 ikhoyili ngayinye. (
Intengo ingu-$119. 95: eya S.
Isitolo sefenisha saseGreenstein esiku-26 A Avenue siyatholakala. )
Uma usamile futhi ufunda isigaba, ezinye izinto ozibonayo i-insulator kanye ne-liner.
Owokuqala ukuvimbela intwasahlobo ukuthi inganamatheli ekugcineni, futhi kufanele igxilwe phezulu nangaphansi kweyunithi yasentwasahlobo, noma, okungcono kakhulu, igoqwe onqenqemeni lweyunithi yasentwasahlobo.
Khona-ke i-padding, ngokuvamile uboya bekotini, kodwa ngezinye izikhathi igwebu, kufanele okungenani ibe yi-intshi engu-1.
Ngemuva kwalokho, lonke ibhizinisi lavalwa ngaphandle kokumaka.
Omatilasi abaningi baphumuza kancane ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, kodwa hhayi ngaso sonke isikhathi. Abanye—
Isibonelo, inkampani emnene ye-Sealy Posturepedic Imperial, thera-pedic Medical oil luxury triple odge kanye nenkampani yendlu kanokusho yesitayela seWadi --
Empeleni qina kakhulu.
I-Consumer Reports iphakamisa ukuthi lokhu kungase kubonise ukuthi \"ikhwalithi yasentwasahlobo iphezulu kakhulu\" noma \"ukuminyana kolayini\".
Manje, ngemva kokufunda lezi zingxenye
Kuhlale kwenzeka ukuthi umdayisi wakho akanakho ukusikeka okuyisampula
Usulungele isinqumo sokugcina esinzima kakhulu: yimuphi umatilasi osemthethweni (noma ukuthamba) okufanela kangcono.
Okuwukuphela kwendlela yokusondela ekutholeni okufunayo ukwelula phezu komatilasi abahlukahlukene.
Inhlangano Kazwelonke Yabakhiqizi Abahlala Embhedeni ithi esikhundleni sokulala lapho, kunalokho "gingqika kancane uye esikhungweni ukuze ubone ukuthi akukho yini ukudangala futhi ubone ukuthi ikweseka kanjani.
Le nhlangano ikholelwa ukuthi uma abantu ababili bezosebenzisa umatilasi kufanele bazame ndawonye.
Inguqulo yaleli fayela yanyatheliswa ekhasini 60 lomagazini waseNew York ngo-February 16, 1977, enesihloko esithi: Mayelana nomatilasi.
