Features of strutoplast mattresses

The development of modern technologies makes it possible to produce materials that are several orders of magnitude higher than the previous modifications in terms of quality. If we talk about the segment of bedding, then strutoplast has been very popular in recent years. It has a number of undeniable advantages.

Strutoplast is a synthetic material. It consists of thermally bonded polyester fibers. To improve the production process, fast-melting fibers are introduced into the raw material as a binder. As a result of processing, a homogeneous flooring is formed, including three layers. The inner one acts as a supporting base, the two outer ones are responsible for the fastening function.

The layer located in the middle is distinguished by the vertical arrangement of the fibers, less often they have a slight slope. By the way, this is how the fiber got its name - the term struto suggests a way of fixing the fibers in the vertical direction.

Strutoplast does not cause an allergic reaction, so it can be used for the manufacture of children's and teenage bedding. Nowadays, when the ecological situation is rapidly deteriorating, the hypoallergenic property is becoming more and more important. Pathogenic microflora and fungi do not develop in the strutoplast. This allows it to be used in rooms with high humidity, in suburban homes and summer cottages.

Thanks to the high-quality flame retardant impregnations used during production, the mattress cannot be a source of combustion. In addition, the material is easy to process. Strutoplast is well cut, and this makes the cost of the finished product cheaper for people who want to order a mattress according to individual measurements.

The filler does not absorb external odors and does not exude them. Therefore, the user does not need to periodically ventilate the mattress.

Strutoplast is highly ventilated. Thanks to effective air circulation, the microclimate is maximally comfortable for sleeping and resting.

The filler is springy and resilient. This makes it possible to use it in the creation of orthopedic products.

Strutoplast also has its drawbacks. To many users, it may seem overly tough. If you are looking for soft mattresses or moderately firm bedding, strutoplast will not work. And also some vacationers are irritated by the crunch and creak of such filler.

Another serious disadvantage of strutoplast is subsidence. It reaches 30% of the initial volume, and sometimes it takes only six months for such a deformation. However, most often a similar problem arises with mattresses made from recycled polymeric materials - the price of such products is much lower.

Strutoplast mattresses are predominantly synthetic products. To improve its technical and operational characteristics, manufacturers can add natural fibers to the raw material base. They allow to increase the air permeability and thermal conductivity of the structure.

Various raw materials can act as a filler.

• Sheepskin Is one of the most popular materials. Made from 100% natural sheep wool. It absorbs moisture well and is lightweight. It features a self-cleaning function and a long user life.
• Camel's wool - one of the most expensive natural insulation materials. Such filler weighs much less than sheepskin, but its price is an order of magnitude higher.
• Seaweed - such an additional component is rare. Nevertheless, it is distinguished by its ability to have a beneficial effect on the human body, therefore, the material is in demand among people prone to allergic diseases and pathologies of the respiratory system.
• Linen - this component allows you to maintain a comfortable temperature for a sleeping person. It is distinguished by its low weight and high strength. The pluses include the speed of drying after cleansing.
• Coconut coir - due to the fact that coconut fibers are part of the filler, strutoplast in the mattress provides the necessary rigidity of the product.
• Bamboo - this component is distinguished by air permeability and elasticity.
• Synthetic fiber - polyester can also be used as an additive. It is distinguished by elasticity, resilience and increased strength. These fibers are tactile and lightweight.

The sizes of the mattresses available in the stores are standard. Sleeping accessories for cribs for children have dimensions of 60x120 cm (this parameter may vary slightly depending on the brand). For adult beds, users are offered single, one and a half and double mattresses. The width of single models varies from 60 to 110 cm, the length is close to 200 cm.For double beds, it is better to choose a mattress with a width of 160 to 200 cm.

Thanks to the unique structure of the filler, it will be quite comfortable for two vacationers to sleep on such a mattress, so there will be no need to use a pair of mattresses. For one and a half beds, the optimal width of the product is 130-150 cm. The thickness of products made of strutoplast directly depends on the features of the filler production technology.

There are several types of strutoplast, they differ in terms of softness. The most delicate is "holcon soft" - it is not suitable for mattresses, it is used exclusively for sewing outerwear. Slightly more elastic can be called a variety of "medium" - from it they create sleeping accessories for newborns and young children. But such material is not suitable for orthopedic products.

Hard mattresses use "strutofiber hard" as filler. This fiber retains its original shape well even with regular exposure to heavy loads. This variety is in demand for the manufacture of mattresses and upholstered furniture. Supports well the anatomical position of the body.

Today, different enterprises are engaged in the production of mattresses from strutoplast, their products differ in their operational parameters and prices. According to consumer reviews, Russian-made products are in the greatest demand, in particular, the products of the Ivanovskiy Textile firm. This company offers mattresses for children and adults, their cost starts from 2.5 and 3.5 thousand rubles. respectively.

However, there are also cheaper products based on strutoplast. For example, the company "Runo-Tex" offers models with a price of 1.2 thousand rubles. The thickness of such products is much less - at the level of 5-7 cm, they are designed for users whose weight does not exceed 100 kg.

The advantages of strutoplast include their simplicity and simplicity. They do not require special operating conditions. The basic tips are simple and easy to follow.

• Wear a mattress topper. This will help protect the cover and filler from water and dirt.
• Turn the mattress regularly. This will prevent the appearance of deformation and punching.
• If a lot of water gets on the mattress, remove the mattress topper and place against the wall in an upright position.
• Strutoplast products should be vacuumed regularly. In this way, you protect it from dust accumulation, and yourself from the appearance of dust mites.

Almost all users of sleeping accessories note that the hardness of strutoplast mattresses is much higher than average. For many, it becomes excessive and uncomfortable. At the same time, buyers note a favorable ratio of cost and quality of products. However, the service life without loss of user characteristics of such products is much lower than that declared by the manufacturer. Owners of strutoplast mattresses note that it is prone to sinking, therefore, after six months of constant use, dents appear on its surface.

These objective reviews show that today strutoplast cannot yet compete with expensive fillers of a higher level. The appearance of dents and the likelihood of deformation become a fundamental point that prompts potential buyers to abandon such a financially profitable purchase.
