Each item has its own lifespan, over time, and the old mattress has to be changed. Among the large assortment, I want to choose the most convenient one, because they will have to be used for more than one year. Recently, there has been a very active advertising of orthopedic mattresses, but are they as good as the manufacturers promise? It is important to understand what is the difference between an orthopedic and a regular mattress.
First of all, an orthopedic mattress is a medical product. It helps to relieve excess tone, eliminates muscle fatigue, its design stimulates blood circulation, prevents the formation of pressure sores and swelling in bedridden patients, and all this regardless of size, whether it is a mattress 90 200or 180 200. Such products are an excellent way to prevent osteochondrosis. These are the main properties that distinguish an orthopedic mattress from a regular one. If, when choosing, the seller persistently offers an orthopedic option, then it will not be superfluous to ask for the appropriate certificate. Such a state-recognized document confirms the purpose of the product.
In any position of a person, a good quality orthopedic mattress will certainly take the shape of the body. It improves blood circulation and also relieves pressure on the spine. The most advanced models have blocks of independent springs, they are covered with a material that has a memory effect.
With all the beauty of the material, which orthopedic mattress to choose? The most important advice - you need to choose not by beauty, but by "trying on" the body. It is enough just to lie down on the mattress in a normal position, close your eyes and try to feel how comfortable you are.
Unlike a regular mattress, an orthopedic mattress is more rigid. An overly firm mattress only supports the heavier parts of the body — the hips and shoulders — but not the lower back. A very soft mattress becomes like a hammock; on such a product, the spine is curved. Elastic spring blocks of an orthopedic mattress can withstand heavy loads.
The main element of the orthopedic mattress is the spring block. Its design consists of separate pouches, each of which contains a spring. When you press one of them, the adjacent springs remain unaffected. The size and structure of the springs allows a large number of them to be placed on one square meter. However, this is not the main indicator - the main emphasis is on shape, elasticity and durability.
