Electric heated mattress pad

Manufacturers and vendors of mattresses use different impressive words to convince the buyer. Let’s decipher the most beautiful of them. Orthopedic mattress means "it is used for the treatment of any deformation of the body and their compensation" (Greek ortos - straight, correct and pedia - education). Anatomical mattress means "repeating body contours." In fact, there are no such types. There are just comfortable mattresses. The rest is just marketing.

Let me explain. Your body is unique. Therefore, the perception of convenience is individual. The mattress that is comfortable for men of respectable sizes will not fit a fragile young lady, and vice versa. So when you choose an orthopedic mattress you should use a systematic approach and consider all the elements: the body + the mattress + the foundation. Remember, the mattress can not be orthopedic in general; it can be an orthopedic for you.

There are two basic functions of a mattress:

Support for the body - is the ability of a mattress to withstand the weight of the body and support the back straight while sleeping, relieving you of back pain. The support is provided by the mattress base that is a spring or latex block.

Comfort - is the ability to match the forms of the body and to reduce stress on common pressure points to roll over in the sleep less. Comfort is provided by the layers of fillings and a quilted plane.

An example of a mattress without spring unit – is a monoblock made of artificial or natural rubber latex, rolled into a roll and placed in a vacuum package. As an ingredient they also use coir sheets. In addition, this category includes mattresses filled with fluid and air.
Spring block may consist of a dependent, definitely bound springs ("Bonnel"). Mattresses with a block of independent springs, each of them is placed in a separate cloth "cup" and works independently of the "neighbors", are more expensive. Unconnected springs provide a "personalized approach" to different parts of the human body. This mattress allows your spine to remain in a natural position. All spring mattresses are provided with layers that are responsible for such product properties as softness, hardness, elasticity, and etc. 256 springs per square meter - is the standard for the majority of independent blocks. The most expensive models have several zones of elasticity and are extremely comfortable to use. NASA technology helped to create Tempur cover – a viscoelastic material that remembers body contours.

Modern spring mattress - is a high-tech specialized unit to sleep. The assembly and adjustment of high-quality mattress requires careful manual work, so its price can be more than $ 1,000.
