When buying a mattress, everyone should pay attention to choosing it according to their own needs and choosing the right material. Only a good quality mattress can ensure sleep effect and quality. So how to choose a mattress? Let’s take a closer look at this issue.
Mattresses are a type of bedding that many families choose. Common ones include latex mattresses, coconut palm mattresses, spring mattresses, etc. Mattresses made of different materials have different sleeping sensations. It is recommended to choose according to your own preferences and needs. So how to choose a good mattress? Let’s take a closer look at this issue.
1. Determine the quality of the mattress from the product label. Genuine mattresses, whether they are brown mattresses, spring soft mattresses, or cotton mattresses, have the product name, registered trademark, manufacturing company name, factory address, and contact number on the product label. Some also have certificates of conformity and credit cards. The vast majority of mattresses sold on the market without factory names, factory addresses and registered trademarks are shoddy products of low quality and low price.
2. Judge the quality of the mattress from the fabric workmanship. The joints of high-quality mattress fabrics have consistent elasticity, no obvious wrinkles, no floating threads, or skipped threads; the seam edges and four-corner arcs are well-proportioned, with no raw edges exposed, and the dental floss is straight. When you press the mattress heavily with your hands, there is no friction sound inside, and it feels firm and comfortable. Inferior mattress fabrics often have inconsistent quilting elasticity, floating and skipping lines, uneven seam edges and four-corner arcs, and uneven dental floss.
3. Look at the pros and cons of soft spring mattresses from the internal materials. The number of springs used in a spring mattress and the diameter of the steel wire determine the softness or hardness of the spring mattress. Press the surface of the spring mattress with your bare hands. If the springs ring, it means there is a quality problem with the springs. If the springs are found to be rusty and the inner padding is made of old sacks or flocculent fiber products made from industrial scraps, then the soft spring mattress is a low-quality product.
4. Beware of “black-hearted cotton” when purchasing cotton mattresses. ?Black-hearted cotton? is a synonym for inferior cotton. "Black cotton" does not meet the relevant national health standards. Frequently sleeping on "black cotton" mattresses will cause damage to your health.
5. Look at the anti-interference performance. According to scientific research, people toss and toss an average of 40-60 times every night during sleep. Sleep disturbances usually include tossing by oneself or being disturbed by a partner's tossing. Your weight will put pressure on various parts of the body while sleeping. If the mattress does not support the body ideally, the body will be compressed or numb, which will increase the amount of tossing and lead to interrupted sleep. At present, many mattress brands, including Simmons, have adopted independent pocket spring technology to achieve true independence between springs, which can effectively block and reduce the vibration transmission interference caused by tossing and turning during sleep.
6. Look at the uniform support. Sleeping on an unsuitable mattress for a long time will affect the health of the spine. Many people's back pain is also caused by not choosing the right mattress. A mattress that is too soft or too hard will destroy the natural physiological curvature of the spine. If it is too soft, the weight of the human body will not be balanced, leaving symptoms such as hunching over; if it is too hard, it will not only compress the nerves in the human back, but also affect the normal blood circulation. Over time, it will cause back pain and sciatic nerve pain. A high-quality mattress must have a perfect spring compression ratio and high-quality material selection, and can support every part of the body evenly according to the curves and weight of the human body.
7. Look at the health and environmental protection certification. The fabric and cushion of the mattress will conform to the human body every night. If the mattress contains inferior materials, it will release harmful gases, and long-term contact with the human body may cause skin allergies and other uncomfortable symptoms. At present, in addition to the national standard for mattress quality certification, some imported brands can also refer to whether they have obtained the European Union's "Safe Choice" certification.
8. Softness and hardness. Preventive medicine experts believe that the sleeping position should be the same as the standing position. A mattress with good support function can not only provide ubiquitous and comprehensive support to the body, but also maintain the spine in a standing position. Only when the spine maintains its natural curvature can the muscles truly relax. Otherwise, it will be replaced by backache when getting up. The fatigue of back pain requires the mattress to be moderately soft and hard.
9. Breathability.
There are 3 million fine pores distributed on the skin surface of the human body. These pores shrink and relax day and night to breathe, secrete sweat, excrete sebum and body metabolites, and regulate the body's temperature and normal functions. Night is when cells divide most. During peak periods, if the material of the mattress cannot breathe and wick away perspiration, it will hinder the skin's breathing and excretion. The skin will be prone to roughness and allergies, and it will also affect endocrine function in the long run.
When buying a mattress, you must buy it blindly or go to a regular home market to ensure the quality of the mattress. The above is the relevant introduction on how to choose a good mattress. I hope it will be helpful to everyone when choosing a mattress. You should also do a good job in maintaining the mattress.
