This creates certain difficulties when choosing a model that can provide a comfortable and full sleep for a particular person. Our assortment includes products of various classes, from "economy" to elite products.

 

It is possible to manufacture non-standard sizes according to individual requirements. The most popular sizes can be selected in the catalog or selected depending on the design of the mattress. Here are 5 facts you should know about mattresses.

 

Optimum rigidity

 

Stiffness is the first thing to look for when buying a mattress: too hard a mattress can cause discomfort, and too soft will not provide the spine with the necessary support. When choosing rigidity, it is important to take into account the individual characteristics of a person. Different types of mattresses are recommended for different health conditions. For example, a hard mattress is not always useful for lower back pain, and for diseases of the upper spine, you should not sleep on soft surfaces. Therefore, in cases of spinal diseases, it is necessary to consult a doctor for a recommendation.

 

In addition to the anatomical features of a person, age also matters: the older the person, the softer the mattress he needs. Children are recommended to sleep on a hard surface, after reaching the age of majority, you can choose models of medium hardness, starting from the age of 25, the mattress is selected based on personal preferences and physical characteristics, and after 50 years, soft models become the best choice.

 

• In addition, the weight of the sleeper is of great importance:
  
  
• with a weight of up to 55 kg, you can choose a soft mattress;
  
  
• with a weight of 55-90 kg, you should pay attention to mattresses of medium hardness;
  
  
• with a weight of 90 kg or more, a hard or increased mattress will be the best choice;
  
  
• For a couple in different weight categories, it is best to select two separate mattresses of different firmness.
  
  

Perfect size

 

The right mattress should fit the size of the bed. Otherwise, too large a mattress will gather in waves, and too small will not cover the base of the bed. In order to be comfortable during sleep, the length of the mattress should exceed the height of a person by 15-20 cm. The width of the berth depends more on personal preferences, but ideally it should be equal to double the width of the sleeper.

 

Springs are different

 

Some spring mattresses with a dependent spring block have a tendency to stretch - over time, they turn into a kind of hammock. In addition, if two people sleep on such a mattress, then during the night the lighter one may well slide to the one who is heavier. Therefore, when choosing a mattress on a spring block, it is recommended to purchase a model with an independent spring block, which are devoid of these disadvantages. An orthopedic springless mattress will be a worthy alternative.

 

Correct care

 

Compliance with the rules for the care of the mattress can significantly extend its life.

 

Small stains should be removed with a mild soapy solution, heavy dirt should be dry cleaned with special products. The best remedy for dust is a vacuum cleaner.

 

Using a mattress topper will prevent contamination of the mattress and protect it from minor damage. If the mattress comes with a cover, you need to remember that only special products can be used to clean it.

 

Regular turning of the mattress will prevent the filler from bouncing in one place, and periodic ventilation will prevent the accumulation of excess moisture and harmful bacteria.
