The right mattress is a guarantee of health and quality night rest

How to know if it's time to change your mattress

Any product has an expiration date. This also applies to mattresses. It depends on a number of factors:

Average service life spring mattresses is 5-7 years. Latex springless models with good care last up to 20 years. Mattresses with independent springs are used for up to 15 years. Over time, even with low weight sleepers and With good care, the mattress will accumulate a large amount of dust, and its quality characteristics will decrease. If the service life has passed, we advise you to change the berth to a new one, even if it looksit is not bad.

You cannot store an old product for as long as possible, because dust accumulates inside it

Basic models

There are two main types of mattresses based on the internal structure:

However, this is an integrated approach. In such an important matter as choosing a mattress for double bed, details and nuances are important. Talking about sovrIn traditional models, it is important to highlight four:

Each of them is worth considering in detail.

Classic Bonnel models with dependent springs

Inside such a mattress there are springs made of carbon steel. The name of the product contains the word "dependent", all because the springs are fastened together. This type of mattress has been produced for a long time and was previously considered one of the most popular, comfortable and durable.

Product appearance with dependent springs

This design is called "Bonnel", it has a number of positive properties:

However, not everyone will like this model. The main disadvantage of the "Bonnel" system is just the dependence of the springs. While holding a significant weight of the sleeper, they can bend significantly if one of the partners has significantly more weight. The result is rolling down during sleep and discomfort when falling asleep.

Another significant drawback is the lack of protection of the springs. Made of metal, they can begin to rust over time, which will spoil not only the appearance of the outer covering, but also the bedding. Also, over time, a creak may appear.

Models with independent springs

The modern version of the spring product is classified as independent due to the fact that each spring is placed in a separate shell and has no connection with the rest. This structure has the following advantages:

The price for such a product will be higher than that of those with dependent springs. These models gradually conquered the market and are the most popular today.

The high cost cannot be called a disadvantage of such a product, because more materials and energy are required to manufacture it. The model has no other significant drawbacks.

Mattresses without springs

Many people remember the time when we slept on springless cotton-filled mattresses. Modern copies are completely unlike those Soviet ones, on which it was not so comfortable to sleep, but it was convenient to ride with it in nature.

Soviet models were easy to carry and transport

The option without springs may initially seem like something unusual and of poor quality. This feeling is deceiving. Springless options are superior to spring ones in many respects. They perfectly follow the contours of the human body, do not accumulate dust inside, and are made of materials that do not cause allergic reactions.

The most economical options are made from polyurethane foam or otherwise - foam rubber. Its downside is that over time it loses its shape and cakes. Polyurethane has different stiffness depending on the customer's requirements. The most expensive filler option is natural latex. It is considered to be strong and durable. Not everyone can afford such a purchase. Another option for the filler is pressed sheep wool. It does not roll, cake and does not cause allergies.

Combined models

Due to the high cost of some natural fillers, many manufacturersand offer to purchase combined options. The most common combinations of foam rubber and environmentally friendly coconut coir. It gives elasticity and stiffnessproduct, prevents the growth of bacteria, has a long service life.

This is what a layer made entirely from the intercarp of a coconut looks like.

Foam rubber itself is a short-lived material. Even tough species sag over time under the weight of the human body.If you combine it with a coir, you get a budget option for a high-quality berth.

How to choose an orthopedic mattress for a double bed

When purchasing new bedroom furniture in a store, many of us are faced with an offer to buy a mattress. It will be difficult for an unprepared person to make a choice, and he will buy what the seller will offer him. Another option for a spontaneous purchase is when the mattress comes complete with a sleeping set. This product is generally inexpensive.

Orthopedic specimens are called so because they are able to take the shape of the human body and allow you to enjoy complete rest. An improperly selected mattress will cause back pain, make you wake up at night. It will be very difficult to fall asleep in such a sleeping place. If you need an orthopedic mattress, you need to study the details well, since the quality of sleep and your overall well-being depend on it. The opportunity to buy a double bed with a mattress inexpensively is sometimes attractive, but we advise you to purchase the product separately according to strict parameters:

Rigidity

The dependence on the age of the buyer is due to the fact that until the age of 27 a person continues to grow and needs a hard sleeping place, and after 50 years a softer specimen will be better for the buyer.

Keep your spine straight while you sleep.

There are three types of product rigidity:

In the absence of health problems, the question of choice can be solved simply: to purchase an option, focusing on age. Any convenient specimen is selected for persons from 27 to 50 years old. People who are professionally involved in sports are advised to sleep on a hard berth. Also, the increased rigidity of the mattress is recommended for everyone whose weight significantly exceeds the norm and is close to 100 kg.

Another thing is when a person suffers from problems with the spine. Unfortunately, today this is a common reason for seeking medical attention. The choice of a mattress is completely trusted by a professional. The doctor should advise on what type of product to choose. You may need to choose a combined model with varying degrees of rigidity.

The wrong mattress will create many problems

It is not uncommon for a doctor to recommend products with varying degrees of rigidity to a husband and wife. In this case, given the size of the bed, two copies are purchased.

The size

It is not only the length and width of the model for a double bed that matters, but also its height. The most important quality of a mattress is convenience and comfort for a person who is resting. In this case, size matters. A married couple should not interfere with each other in a dream.

A table of standard sizes for double beds is shown below:

The height of the mattress varies from 3 to 50 cm and depends on the inner filling and the type of model. Mattresses that are too low are uncomfortable.

Stores can offer both standard sizes and unusual ones.

Excipients

Earlier we talked about modern fillers. They are all divided into two types:

For allergy sufferers, it is important that the product does not cause allergies. Natural include:

A variety of internal fillers allows you to create high-quality products at a low cost

All of these fillers have worked well, they do not accumulate static electricity, do not cause allergies. The only disadvantage of natural materials is their high cost. Manufacturers around the world are working to create lightweight, durable and inexpensive man-made materials.Today for the production of mattresses are used:

Each buyer can easily select the material that suits him. For those who want to save money, we recommend choosing products with artificial filler.

Outer cover

The outer coating of the product is also important. Since the service life is estimated at several years, it is necessary that it has strength, elasticity, and a beautiful appearance. Most often, manufacturers use jacquard. It consists of a proportion of cotton and synthetic polyester. Jacquard with a high cotton content is used in the manufacture of luxury mattresses. Thick fabric is breathable.

In addition to its positive qualities, jacquard has a beautiful pattern.

Teak is also widely used, but this fabric works well for delicate items. It is pleasant to the touch and does not cause allergic reactions.

How to choose the right mattress for a double bed

Going to the store, you want to clearly understand how to choose a good mattress for a double bed. This is a responsible business and, as it turns out, not easy. Do not rush to determine at home that you want to purchase a springless or spring-loaded product. Also, do not limit yourself to examining the goods of one store. The easiest way is to test the mattress yourself. You can always find samples on showcases and exhibition pavilions.

The ideal option is to test the mattress itself in the store.

In furniture stores, cutaway products are presented to buyers for judgment, where you can see the number of layers, their thickness, quality, and also find out what the composition of the model is. This convenient method will allow you to opt for a specific manufacturer. If the buyer has no recommendations from the attending physician, health problems and excess weight, the choice is serious. The easiest option is to buy a double bed with a mattress from the manufacturer. This will save time, but before buying, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the quality of the model, attract or try it with your hand.

Many shops, competing with each other, offer customers to take advantage of promotions. One of them is called "test drive mattress". You will be offered to purchase a mattress and test it for three months. If it turns out to be inconvenient, the buyer can easily exchange it for another model, taking into account their preferences.

Which firm mattress to choose

There are a lot of mattress manufacturers on the market today. Here are just a few of them:

These are only representatives from Russia, European manufacturers and companies from Ukraine have proven themselves well. The most famous manufacturer in the country is the Ascona company. She produces a large number of models. Using an example, we will show how to choose an Ascona mattress.

Determine the length and width of the inside of the bed, and consider your preference for stiffness. Choosing a mattress for a young family, you can opt for a product of medium firmness. After reviewing customer reviews, we find out that the following products performed best:

The choice can be made by testing each of them in the store. The characteristics of all three options are similar.

Model "Ascona Hit"

Choosing a mattress for a double bed with varying degrees of firmness

Each model has two main functions: supporting the body during sleep, creating comfort. In order for these requirements to be met, you will need to select a product of a certain stiffness. A double bed assumes that a couple will sleep on it. Each of the partners may differ in preferences, weight, health status.

We advise such couples to pay attention to the following types of products:
