Two or one?

Before choosing a mattress for a bed, consult your own half and decide whether you really need one mattress or you can buy two. A double bed with two mattresses has its advantages:

• each of the sleeping has a small piece of personal space, separated from the other, that is, a small gap between the mattresses gives a feeling of isolation;
• mattresses can differ in rigidity;
• at any time two mattresses can be combined into one.

Important! The feeling of isolation is important to people who value their personal space and are not keen to admit even the closest ones to it. In addition, there are often situations when one of the spouses is accustomed to sleeping on a hard, and the second just can not stand it, he needs a soft bed. It should also be taken into account that for different people, different mattresses are needed.

Spring mattresses

Spring mattresses have the effect of pushing out, springless, of course, this effect is not. Due to this effect, spring models are completely inappropriate as orthopedic ones, so that they can be recommended only to people who do not have diseases of the spine or joints.

Important! Who are the fit spring products? They are very good for people with a lot of weight, as well as for those who are used to sleeping on a soft and have no contraindications for this.

Types

Spring mattresses are divided into two types:

• with dependent blocks:
• with independent blocks.

How do they differ and how to choose a mattress for a double bed on a spring basis?- It is enough to take into account the following points:

1. If you look inside the product with dependent spring blocks( these are usually called the Bonnel type), you can see large double-cone springs. They stand in a row and are all connected together by metal spirals. This is what is called the classics of the genre, but there is a significant flaw in such a product: it is necessary to apply pressure to one spring, as all begin to bend evenly, so there is simply no need to talk about anatomical support.
2. As for mattresses with independent spring blocks, they just provide anatomical support. They have small springs, each of them is in a separate case. Covers are sewn together, but the entire system is less rigid than with the mechanism with dependent blocks. If you press on one spring - the mattress will bend only in this place. That is, during sleep it takes the form of a body, which is very convenient.

Important! The number and size of the springs greatly affect the quality and price - the more small springs are per square meter of area, the product will be better and more expensive.

What are the springs?

On sale you can find products with different types of springs, differing in size:

• S-500;
• S-1000;
• S-2000.

What this means:

1. If the designation of the mattress is S-500, TFK or EVS500, this means that the springs have a diameter of 5-6 cm, and the number of them per square meter is 220-300.This is the cheapest model from any manufacturer.
2. Springs with a diameter of 4 cm are designated S-1000.According to their standards there should be 500 pieces per square meter. Such a mattress can already be considered anatomical.
3. On sale you can find and models, where there is the designation S-2000, that is, in this product very small springs with a diameter of 2 cm. Accordingly - for 1 square meter there are 1000 such springs.

Fillers

When deciding how to choose a mattress for a bed, pay attention to the filler.

Fillers are:

• rigid;
• are soft.

The rigid fillers include:

• dense latex;
• coconut coir.

Soft fillers:

• latex;
• PPU;
• strotofayber.

What else came up with the developers?

Manufacturers offer customers a few more interesting options for mattresses with independent blocks. For example:

1. The Dual Spring variant is suitable for couples when one of the spouses has a very high weight, and the second weighs quite a bit. In this case, the outer springs are soft - they are set so that it is convenient for a person with a small weight. If a fat spouse lies on such a mattress - the outer springs will bend, and the body will exert pressure no longer on them but on the rigid internal springs.
2. Heavyweights are produced special models with reinforced blocks. For such blocks, more rigid and durable materials are used than for standard mattresses. The springs are staggered.
3. You can choose a mattress for a bed with uneven hardness zones. They are different. Some are divided into two equal parts: one - more rigid, the other - less. There are also mattresses, in which zones of different rigidity are distributed along the length of the body.

Springless mattresses

Springless mattresses, in turn, are divided into:

• rigid;
• rigid-elastic.

Important! Springless products can be single-layered and multi-layered.

Materials

As materials for the production of springless models are most often used:

• latex;
• coconut fiber;
• sisal;
• wool;
• foam rubber;
• strautofayer;
• polyurethane foam.

How to determine the right material, if you need to choose a mattress for a double bed:

• In the production of mattresses, both natural latex and its substitute are used. Natural latex is preferable - it is more elastic, but it is more expensive. The substitute has almost the same properties and is equally safe for health.
• The most expensive filler is coconut fiber. But it is most suitable for the manufacture of orthopedic mattresses. In addition, like all natural substances, the coconut admits air perfectly.
• Sisal has almost the same properties, but it is less common.
• Woolen filler made from pressed sheep wool. It is hygienic because it lets in air. Allergy pressed sheep wool usually does not cause.
• Strautofayer is similar to felt. It is a natural material with good hygroscopicity. It is perfectly ventilated. Wool or cotton fibers are arranged vertically.
• Foam rubber is still used as the filler. But we must treat him very carefully. Of course, this material easily adopts the position of the body. However, over time, the foam begins to disintegrate into substances that are harmful to health, so that such a mattress can not be durable.
• Polyurethane foam( PPU) is used in both spring and springless mattresses. It is an additional material in the most rigid mattresses. There is also a special polyurethane foam with a memory effect - it is called a memorial. This material has a very high viscosity. When pressed, it first takes a concave shape, and then starts to straighten slowly.

Cover

Each mattress has a cover or mattress pad. What are they made of? For manufacturing both natural and modern artificial materials are used:

• jacquard;
• folded terry cloth;
• Holofiber;
• sintepon.

Important! All these materials have qualities that ensure a good quality of sleep. In all cases, allergy causes only wool, so that any coating can be chosen.
