What are springless mattresses and how to choose them?

Healthy sleep allows a person to feel rested and vigorous, which is why it is so important to choose the right mattresses for a sleeping place.... In addition to the standard and familiar spring products, which have been indispensable for many years, newer and more original models have come that do not contain any metal. To choose the right springless mattress, you need to understand the features of its filling, the appropriate height of the product and be aware of the additional properties of different models.

Mattresses that do not contain springs differ significantly from spring counterparts in terms of internal filling. Inside such a product, one or more fillers can be located, on top of which there is a cover. The rigidity of its base depends on the composition of the mattress. The variability of the elasticity of the filler is achieved through the use of different materials and layers inside the product.

There can be natural and synthetic materials inside the mattresses. Natural include:

• coconut fiber;
• sheep wool;
• natural latex.

To artificial:

• artificial latex;
• orthopedic foam.

The use of springless mattresses has a number of advantages and disadvantages. The pluses include the following.

• Reliability products.
• Security... Such filling is safe for humans.
• No noise when driving, in contrast to spring counterparts.
• Availability of options with different rigidity of the sides.
• Possibility provide good rest the body, relieve the spine.
• Sustainability to unfavorable conditions.
• High-quality filling guarantees the retention of its shape and the absence of deformation and subsidence.
• The ability to roll the mattress, making it more mobile and easy to store.

Springless mattresses also have certain disadvantages, among the disadvantages are the following.

• High price goods with natural and high quality content.
• The complexity of assessing the quality of filling, due to non-removable cover.
• Possibility withstand a weight of no more than 120 kg.
• Bad smell from the adhesive, which are used to attach layers in mattresses with different fillings. Over time, the smell disappears.

The higher the quality of the mattress, the fewer disadvantages and more advantages it has. Safety, lightness, convenience and durability make these products unrivaled. When choosing products, preference is given to trusted manufacturers. The advantages of springless mattresses are undeniable, therefore they are recommended for children and adolescents.

Thanks to a wide range of fillings, springless mattresses are gaining more and more popularity. The composition of such products allows you to find products for the smallest, children and adolescents, as well as adult consumers. Various fillers determine the thickness and rigidity of the berth. Some products may have two sides, one soft, the other hard. This option is most beneficial for parents who can purchase one mattress for 5-7 years, using the hard side in the first year from the birth of the baby and the soft side for the rest of the time, while the sleeping place will fit.

Various manufacturers make mattresses from natural and synthetic materials. Natural options are more expensive, but safer and more durable. Unnatural products also allow you to enjoy a sound sleep in a comfortable bed, but for a shorter time.

The use of coconut fiber has become a real breakthrough in the production of mattresses. Thanks to natural coconut fibers, a durable material is obtained that has many advantages. Sleeping on a mattress with coconut filling is recommended for the little ones, due to its hypoallergenicity and the absence of allergic reactions in children. Due to the peculiarities of the weaving of threads, the coconut layer is quite tough, but not hard. Elastic fibers prevent material cracks and mattress deformation.

Coconut does not stain during processing, it retains its natural color, which allows it to remain a completely natural filler... Due to its natural properties, this filler does not rot or deteriorate, it lasts a long time. Mattresses of this type have increased rigidity.

Sisal consists of cellulose, lingine, hemicellulose and pectin. It is a natural variety of mattress filler obtained from agave leaves. If the coconut fibers are colored brown, then the sisal has a light yellow color. This material can serve as a raw material for the production of ropes or technical fabrics. Sisal belongs to a natural filler, which is of high quality and safety, it can withstand heavy loads without deforming, and retains its properties for many years... The presence of a sisal layer allows you to adjust the rigidity - the thicker the layer, the harder the product will be.

This modern material has completely replaced the spring mechanism and made it possible to sleep on a soft and comfortable bed. Latex is produced by foaming the rubber. The resulting material is quite tough. Perforation is used to adjust its softness.

There are two technologies for producing latex material.

1. Dunlop latex. This technology dates back to the 1930s.To create the material, the solution was mechanically foamed and poured into molds, which were supposed to heat and dry the contents. The resulting material came out quite tough and had a low air permeability.
2. Talalay latex. This option is considered more perfect. This technology allows air bubbles to burst and create a more porous material structure. During operation, the foamed solution is frozen, after which polymerization begins. The resulting composition has a softer structure, uniform color, good breathability.

In addition to the hard component of mattresses, there is also a soft part - foam. The composition of the foam can be different, as well as the properties that the finished material receives. The most environmentally friendly is considered soy foam, which is made in Spain. Due to the content of plant components from 10 to 30%, this material is recommended for use by both adults and children.

One of the most popular mattress fillers is polyurethane foam. Due to its versatile properties, it is used in spring models to make the mattress softer, and as the main filling for a springless product. Polyurethane foam has a sufficient range of hardness, therefore it is considered universal.

Polyurethane foam with soft foam can be used as filling the mattress, but such products are recommended for quick and short rest. Due to its special structure, this material is used to soften hard mattresses.

One of the more coveted but costly options is foam memory, which allows you to take the position of the lying body. There is also a tough type of foam that is more dense, which is important for people who are overweight. These mattresses are durable and practical, allowing you to rest and sleep well.

In addition, it should be said about HR foam, which is characterized by high elasticity and heterogeneous structure. Due to the presence of pores of different sizes, the mattress does not contract equally when pressed, which creates the most suitable conditions for use. Such foam can be both hard and soft at the same time, therefore it is classified as an expensive material.

In addition to mattresses with homogeneous filling, there are products that combine two or more composition options. The need to create these products arose as a result of widespread consumer demands. To please customers, manufacturers create a variety of options for filling mattresses.

The most demanded products for children of any age group are double-sided mattresses, which have a hard side, which is provided by coconut fiber, and a soft one, for which foam is used.

To make the mattress harder or softer, manufacturers supplement the product with new layers of the required material. Coconut and sisal can be combined with soft foam, memory foam serves as an additional layer to the polyurethane foam block, a thin layer of soft material can be laid on the rigid foam to make the surface more comfortable.

Anatomical springless mattresses come in different sizes, thicknesses and degrees of firmness. Allocate:

• soft;
• medium soft;
• average;
• medium hard;
• hard.

The use of soft mattresses allows you to get maximum comfort, due to the fact that the product follows the curves of the body well, allowing the body to fully relax. Such mattresses are worth buying for those who have a low weight of up to 50 kg, for the elderly, for whom comfort is of particular importance, and for pregnant women. Such products are created using latex and memory foam.

Medium soft options are suitable for most people, as they have enough softness and rigidity to maintain the correct body position. Latex filler and a thin coconut layer are used inside, giving rigidity. Adults and children can sleep on such products if they have no contraindications.

Mattresses with medium firmness are considered the most demanded product. The filler in this case can be natural and artificial latex, holofiber or struttofiber, which are combined with coconut coir or sisal. Products with medium hardness have a solid base that can hold the body in an anatomical position, allowing you to fully relax and unwind. These options are shown to adolescents, middle-aged people and those who prefer to sleep on their backs.

Hard mattresses are filled with a thick layer of coconut fiber or other dense materials, due to which the maximum rigidity of the structure is ensured. It is recommended to sleep on such products:

• school-age children;
• obese individuals;
• active people;
• sleeping on his stomach.

Mattresses with a rigid base are recommended by doctors for problems with posture, therefore it is important to choose the right berth, having certain characteristics of the body. There are also products with increased rigidity. Sleeping on them is recommended only as prescribed by doctors, to fix the position of the body and support the spine. This option is perfect for newborns, as it will allow the spine to form correctly.
