All about mattresses with independent springs

Good sleep depends not only on the health of a person's spine, but also on the quality of his sleep. The latter depends on many factors: the absence of noise, the amount of fresh air in the room, the softness of the bed linen and the properties of the mattress. Let's talk about comfortable mattresses with independent springs.

Today, mattress manufacturers are doing everything possible to ensure that the products provide the necessary support for the human spine, taking into account its physiology and the degree of activity during sleep. Mattresses with independent springs are a revolutionary invention of the 21st century. They are suitable for people with different weights and back problems. Such products do not cause discomfort to sleeping people in the slightest sound.

If we compare mattresses with an independent spring block with dependent ones, the key difference will be the presence in the first of special insulating covers for each spring. The difference between the two types of products is that the springs of the dependent block are interconnected in one structure. At the slightest movement from either side, the entire block will vibrate.

Additional insulation helps extend the life of your high-value purchase. Mattresses are selected depending on the purpose and physiological characteristics of the users. You can determine how many springs should be in the product by discussing these points with a consultant.

Compared to a combined unit, mattresses with independent elements have significant advantages:

• lack of noise effects when driving due to the presence of fabric covers on each spring;
• the ability to withstand a large load due to an additional fixing layer of filler;
• the ability to distribute the load evenly and maintain the natural position of the spine;
• the presence of a relaxing effect;
• long service life due to high quality materials and fillers;
• the presence of a shock-absorbing effect with a large difference in the weight of the sleeping people.

The main disadvantages.

• High price. Many buyers are discouraged by this indicator, although in practice the purchase pays off within six months.
• Low quality counterfeits are common on the market. When buying, it is important to test the mattress and examine it carefully.
• The materials used to make cheap mattresses do not have a high level of durability. For this reason, it is important to purchase goods from trusted sellers, otherwise the best option would be to buy a different type of mattress than a cheap one.

Manufacturers of mattresses with independent springs regularly modify their products, adapting them to the needs of customers. For example, products can be distinguished according to the degree of rigidity: high, low and medium. To create a solid surface, an additional layer is added to the product from coconut coir. Products with a low degree of rigidity are made without coir. There are many types of such goods, among which it is important to highlight two: by the type of construction and by the level of orthopedic effect.

Products with an independent spring block Is a construction of many elements and layers to ensure maximum sleep comfort. Each of the component parts of the product is responsible for performing a certain function, without which the effect of load distribution will not work.

Components of the mattress structure with an independent spring unit.

• A block of springs isolated with special covers.
• Foam side walls, to create the frame.
• Fillers made from durable synthetic or natural ingredients. Fillers are responsible for the degree of hardness of the finished product. Depending on the type of construction, one or several fillers can be used.
• External linen cover, to increase the comfort of sleep and increase the wear resistance of the product.

An important role, both in the distribution of the load and in the creation of the amortization effect, is played by the types of spring elements themselves:

• zone spring block makes it possible to focus on the weight of each part of the body to create an optimal supportive effect;
• TFK Springs - a block with a large number (256) of independent medium-sized springs;
• micropackage - designed specifically for obese people to compensate and correctly distribute the load, each square meter of the product includes more than a thousand small springy elements;
• "duet" - a combined version with large insulated elements, inside which there are smaller springs, this option is ideal when partners are in different weight categories;
• multipack includes about five hundred medium-sized elements for additional support with excess weight or large dimensions of the sleeper.

The orthopedic effect of a mattress can depend on many factors, ranging from the quality of the raw materials and the density of the materials to the rigidity of the products themselves. Based on the firmness index, mattresses can be divided into the following categories.

• Soft items. These products are made specifically for the elderly and underweight people.The most popular soft ingredients: natural and artificial latex, memory foam. Natural latex is a soft and resilient material with a foam structure in the form of small cells. Artificial latex is a type of polyurethane foam. Memory foam is a kind of filler that is able to take its original shape like foam rubber, of which it is considered a kind.
• Products with a medium degree of hardness - an option that suits most adults and teenagers. Manufacturers purchase the following types of raw materials for medium-hard products: holofiber, struttofiber, polyurethane foam. Holofiber is a series of polyester fibers connected to each other by means of glue, which differ in the vertical type of placement. Structofiber is a material that combines cellulose elements and natural components, providing a softening effect.
• Hard varieties are intended for people whose spine is not yet strong enough. In the production of hard species, a number of materials that increase this indicator are used: sisal, coconut coir, thermal felt and bicocos. Sisal is a filler made from agave leaves. Coira is the brown thin skin of a coconut on the inside. Thermal felt is a high density polyester composition with a number of natural and artificial components. Bikokos includes a low elastic synthetic material combined with coconut coir.

• 80x200 - single-bed version, increased in length;
• 90x190 - kind of a single-bed product with an additional size in width;
• 160x80 - orthopedic option for children.

Parameters that determine the weight of the product:

• type of filler - natural ingredients add weight to the product;
• thickness of the mattress - usually the weight of the product is directly proportional to its thickness, but an allowance should be made for the variety of materials;
• rigidity of the product - here the situation is similar to the thickness of the product.
