Adequate sleep ensures high efficiency, human activity, maintains a good mood and good health. Mattresses have a great influence on the quality of rest. A correctly selected accessory contributes to an even redistribution of the load over the muscles and vertebrae. Having slept on such a mattress even for several hours, a person gets up completely rested and recovered.

Askona mattresses are very popular among domestic consumers. This brand has a deservedly good reputation, the brand name is heard by almost all Russians.

There are a number of main advantages of Askona products.

Convenience. The mattresses are comfortable, they are adapted to the individual characteristics of human physiology. Anatomical properties are supported by:

• spring systems;
• latex and coconut coir filler;
• memory effect and other options.

Mattresses from this manufacturer have high orthopedic characteristics and are able to remember the shape of the body of a person who is resting.

High quality. Askona mattresses have a long service life. They do not lose their firmness even with regular use.Products are not squeezed through, and their filler does not cake, regardless of the size of the mattress. Dips do not form on it. The manufacturer's warranty is 10 years.

Orthopedic properties. The advantage of Askona mattresses is their beneficial effect on the spine. This is especially true for people who have posture problems or suffer from pain in the lumbar region. It is enough just to choose the optimal stiffness model. A good solution for them will be a mattress of the Askona Cardio series - this line is specially designed for buyers with pathologies of the musculoskeletal system.

Despite the fact that most of the reviews about the company's products are positive, there are still dissatisfied customers. Some users find them uncomfortable. However, the company's consultants argue that the reason in this case is the incorrectly selected rigidity of the product relative to the individual characteristics of the spine and back of a resting person.

Askona offers a wide range of mattresses for children, single and double mattresses, as well as toppers up to 8 cm high. The product range includes models of several sizes:

• 80x200;
• 90x190;
• 90x200;
• 120x200;
• 140x200;
• 160x80;
• 160x190;
• 160x200;
• 180x200 cm.

Products with a block of independent springs are recognized as the best in terms of quality on the modern market. In this design, each spring works on its own, due to which the maximum orthopedic and anatomical effect is achieved. The springs in the mattress are autonomous in relation to each other, they are not fastened in any way - when a person is placed on them, only those that are under pressure bend. As a result, the mattress follows the contours of the body, making the rest more comfortable.

Independent springs are relatively small, 512 springs fit on average in one square meter. This parameter simultaneously provides both orthopedic and anatomical support for a lying person. It also allows the manufacturer to maintain an affordable product price. If the number of springs is less, this will worsen the orthopedic characteristics of the mattress, and if there are more of them, they will begin to rub together, bend, and over time they will begin to creak.

Askona mattresses with an independent spring block are available in several series.

• Fitness - these products are designed for a weight load of up to 140 kg. Their surface can be medium-hard and hard. Each mattress includes 7 spring zones, the springs are grouped in them according to their elasticity. The total number of independent springs is 550. This design ensures the maximum anatomical effect of the mattress. The cover is made of dense, breathable material with silver impregnation. This makes it easy for air to pass through the fabric, and moisture is not absorbed. The fabric is soft, tactilely pleasant, the surface is protected from pilling.

• Compact - mattresses of this line are designed for loads up to 90 kg. Hardness ranges from soft to medium. The advantage of such models is that they easily roll into a roll and just as quickly return to their original position, therefore, they are easy to transport.

• Sleep style - mattresses of exceptional quality, medium and high firmness. They can withstand a person weighing up to 140 kg, the springs are divided into 7 zones depending on the degree of elasticity. Coconut coir, latex and ortofoam are used as fillers. The cover is soft and resembles jersey to the touch.

• Balance Lux - a product with high orthopedic and anatomical characteristics. Supports full heat exchange, has hypoallergenic properties.

Some models of Askona mattresses include a Bonnel spring block. They were invented more than 150 years ago, but they do not lose their relevance to this day. Here, steel springs are used, consisting of 4 or 5 turns, they are connected to each other. At the same time, the diameter of each spring is maximum at the top and near the base, in the middle it is thin - due to this, when compressed, the coils do not rub against each other and do not cause an unpleasant squeak.

This design is called dependent, since all springs are fixed on one common block. When one of them bends, then all the neighboring ones also bend with it. Layers with several fillers are placed between the Bonnel block and the mattress surface. The rigidity, elasticity of the product, thermoregulation, heat exchange, breathing characteristics and other important components of healthy sleep depend on their characteristics.

The advantages of products with dependent springs include:

• even redistribution of the load on the spine;
• full moisture and air exchange;
• the ability to withstand heavy weight;
• democratic cost.

However, such models are considered obsolete in comparison with independent springs. The reason for this is their obvious shortcomings.

With prolonged use, the spring blocks break the layers and come out to the surface of the mattress. This happens especially often when young children use mattresses - they jump on the bed, from the abrupt impact of the springs' connections break, and the spring straightens.

Even with careful operation, dependent springs begin to creak over time.

The Bonnel system is not recommended for double beds as the dependent springs give the effect of a hammock. This is especially noticeable if the difference between vacationers is 20 kg or more.

Several models are recognized as the best in this series.

• Askona Balance Practice - this mattress is made of high quality hypoallergenic materials. Differs in an average level of rigidity. Thanks to a layer of felt and polyurethane foam, laid on top of the spring block, the product has a flat elastic surface. The operational period of such a product is 10 years.

• Balance palma - a comfortable mattress with orthopedic support. Filler based on coconut coir allows this sleeping accessory to be used by people weighing more than 100 kg.

• Balance Extra - a mattress with a pronounced orthopedic effect. It has a hard surface and polyurethane foam filling.

The assortment list of Askona mattresses includes a line of springless products. Their benefits are clear.

The design of such mattresses does not imply metal elements that can be broken. Therefore, such accessories will serve for a long time.

Even the best sprung mattress starts to squeak after prolonged use. Owners of springless analogs will never face a similar problem.

The quality of springless mattresses depends only on the fillers, their structure, the total number of layers and the order of their placement... At Ascona, such products are made from high-quality hypoallergenic materials, all covers are antibacterial.

Various raw materials are used as fillers for springless mattresses.

• Latex - it can be natural or artificial. Natural is a type of rubber obtained from the tropical Hevea tree. It is a durable, elastic and hypoallergenic breathable material in which dusty fungal organisms do not multiply. Artificial latex is more commonly known as polyurethane foam. These mattresses are elastic, but slightly stiffer. In terms of operational characteristics, they are slightly inferior to natural products, but they are much cheaper.

• Coconut fiber - the toughest springless mattresses include coconut coir.It is distinguished by high air and water permeability, absence of allergic reactions. The degree of hardness of the mattress in this case depends on how the layer of coconut fibers is located - the closer it is to the surface of the sleeping accessory, the harder the mattress will be.

• Structofiber - material of polymer origin. It has strength, durability and resilience. Provides effective thermal protection to the user.

• Memorix - modern material with memory effect. Under the action of the human body, it bends, exactly repeating all its anatomical bends. Such mattresses during sleep provide an even distribution of pressure on the spine and muscles, due to which the human body is maintained in a comfortable position throughout the rest period.

The quality of the mattress is indicated not only by its internal, but also by the external filling, namely, the quality of the cover and the mattress topper. These accessories are designed to protect the base of the mattress from abrasion and damage. Experts advise not to skimp on purchasing a cover and select the highest quality products. The overall service life of your mattress largely depends on the choice of this accessory.

High-quality covers must meet the following requirements:

• hydrophobicity - the ability to evaporate moisture;
• thermoregulation - maintaining air circulation;
• elasticity - the accessory must exactly fit the models in size, this is the only way it can provide maximum protection for the mattress;
• strength - the cover must withstand the weight and mechanical stress during regular use.

Askona offers covers with removable as well as non-removable design. The most practical solution will be removable models - as they become dirty, they can be washed in a conventional automatic machine. However, over time, such a product begins to deform, and the mattress topper does not adhere so tightly to the filler. Non-removable covers are ideally fixed and thereby extend the life of the product, and they are inexpensive. But to clean such products, you will have to resort to dry cleaning services.

Mattress covers for Askona are made of smooth, soft knit fabric and fit like a hat on the mattress. Can be washed and dried at high temperatures. Other benefits include:

• reliable fixation with an elastic band around the entire perimeter;
• maintaining a comfortable thermal regime;
• the ability to pass air;
• dust mite protection;
• pleasant surface.

Askona offers a wide range of mattresses to suit different budgets. So, if you are looking for a sleeping accessory in the price range of up to 10 thousand rubles, then the manufacturer will offer you a wide selection of models with a block of dependent springs. For a relatively low price, you can find a durable and high-quality mattress that will meet all medical and hygienic requirements for organizing a sleeping place. Such models have high anatomical characteristics, are made of hypoallergenic and durable materials.

If, in addition to the anatomical effect, you also want to get an orthopedic one, then you should take a closer look at mattresses costing from 10 to 20 thousand rubles. In this category, there are lines of mattresses with a block of independent springs, as well as springless products.

Megatrend Hard and Compact Hit Plus are considered the leaders among springless models.

Top spring mattresses include Terapia Avanta, Good for you, and Fitness Liga.

With particular scrupulousness, you need to approach the choice of a mattress for people who have problems with the spine - in this case, it is best to make a choice after consulting your doctor. In any case, they will need mattresses with an anatomical effect.Such products should flow around the body of a resting person, repeat each of its bends and at the same time not exert significant pressure on the diseased parts of the spine.

It is very important to choose the degree of hardness. If the discomfort is localized in the lumbar region, it is better to give preference to a soft surface. The same products are optimal for older users who often face problems with blood vessels and joints. For pain in the thoracic spine, mattresses with medium hardness are the best solution. If the pain is related to the pelvic and cervical regions, you will need the toughest mattresses. Most often, people with such problems purchase models of the Promo Victory, Basic High and Emotion series.

The choice of a mattress for children and adolescents deserves special attention. It is known that human vertebrae form up to 25 years of age, so users of this group need to select hard surfaces. Moreover, maximum rigidity is required for babies in the first year of life. Products with dependent springs are not recommended for preschool children. During active games, the beds are exposed to high loads, the springs straighten and can injure the child. The Baby Flex Sleep and Baby Flex Smile models are the best choice for young users.

Therefore, it is necessary to measure the distance between the elbows of each member of the pair in advance. To do this, you need to lie on the mattress and put your arms bent at the elbows under your head. It is important that the width of the mattress is not less than the sum of the distances between their elbows.

Askona double mattresses are presented in several categories:

• with a block of independent springs - the most popular models from this line are Askona Trend and Askona Balance Forma;
• springless budget models - Trend Roll, Effect Low.

But mattresses with springs "Bonnel" will not be the best choice. Such designs involve the interaction of springs with each other and deflection under the weight of the human body. This leads to the appearance of a hammock effect - if the spouses have a different weight group, then the lighter of them will experience significant discomfort during sleep. However, such products have a relatively low cost, so they can be a good purchase if the difference in weight between the spouses is small.

Askona, unlike many of its competitors, has established the production of products for couples with a difference in weight between the spouses. For them, models are offered in which the halves differ in different degrees of rigidity. Similar products can be used if one of the couple members has spinal pathologies, while the other does not.

Today the Askona company is recognized as one of the most popular manufacturers of mattresses in our country. More than 70% of reviews about them are positive. They indicate high quality, good orthopedic and anatomical effect. Having rested on such a mattress for a very short time, a person feels a surge of strength and an increase in activity.

Nevertheless, there are also dissatisfied users. They argue that Askona mattresses are unreasonably overpriced and short-lived. However, despite this, the company remains the leader in sales in our country, displacing the models of American and European manufacturers.

In order to avoid problems with mattresses, you need to purchase products taking into account your physiological characteristics and state of health. You should not chase cheapness.
