Double mattresses: prices, sizes and advice on choice. Double bed with mattress

Sleep is important in our lives. Normally, a properly organized sleeping place helps to relax. Well, if you have a quality double bed with a mattress. And he has an orthopedic effect. If you are not lucky with the bed, this can be corrected by a properly mattress mattress.

How to choose mattresses double

First you need to decide on the size.

Usually a mattress is bought for a particular bed. At the same time, in her documents, among other characteristics, the dimensions of the berth are indicated. If a bed was bought long ago and information about it is not preserved, then you need to measure the parameters yourself.

A common mistake is taking into account the outer dimensions of the bed. In this case, the mattress will be more than a berth and quickly deformed. If you take much less, then he will ride around the bed, which is also not a good thing.

The measured results obtained may not correspond to the standard dimensions of the mattresses produced. In this case, you need to take the product a couple of centimeters less than your bed.

What products are called "double mattress"? Its dimensions are 140 × 200 cm, 160 × 200 cm, 180 × 200 cm and even 200 × 200 cm. Of these, the most common is 160 × 200 cm.

The mattresses are also 190 cm long, sometimes 195 cm. If your bed is smaller or larger than the standard double bed, or you have purchased a bed of the original shape, for example round, you can order the double mattress you want, the size of which will suit your bed. To do this, you have to pay an additional 10% of its value.

To ensure that the mattress is comfortable to sleep, it should exceed your height by at least 15 cm. The more a person's weight, the thicker the mattress is needed.

The height, or thickness, depends on the type of mattress. It can vary from 2 to 50 cm. The thinnest (from 2 to 10 cm) is used as a mattress for a sofa. The standard height of the product without springs is 16 cm, spring - 20-22 cm. Double mattresses of elite class have a thickness of about 50 cm. But any of them should be higher than the king (side) of the bed.

Orthopedic mattress

A more correct name is a mattress with orthopedic effect. Now he is at everyone's ears. Such a mattress allows you to keep the spine while sleeping in a natural position. That is, he does not bend neither during sleep on his side, nor on his back.

At the same time the mattress is not hard and does not cause discomfort. However, it is not suitable for everyone. At some illnesses doctors recommend to sleep on a hard bed. But for the prevention of these diseases your family double orthopedic mattresses will be very handy.

Determination of the maximum load on the sleeper

Sometimes a new mattress loses its shape after a few months of use, hollows appear on it. This can happen due to the fact that the load on the sleeper was incorrectly selected. It is indicated in the characteristics of the mattress and indicates which maximum weight the user can have. In the case where double mattresses are used, the weight of each user (not their sum!) Should not exceed the specified value. The numerical values of this parameter can be 90 kg, 100 kg, 105 kg, 110 kg, 120 kg.

Rigidity of the mattress

She may be:

• High;
• Above average;
• Average;
• Low;
• Variable (mattresses that can be turned over).

This parameter depends on the filler and the maximum load on the sleeper.

Classification of mattresses

• Spring;

• On a non-spring base.

Springs are distinguished by the type of block and filler. Depending on the type of unit, mattresses can be:

• On an independent spring unit (new type);
• On the dependent spring Bonnel block (old type).

Mattresses on an independent spring block

Each of the springs is not connected to the adjacent metal joint. Under the influence of the weight of the human body, it bends. The cover does not allow it to bend to the side. Each of the springs flexes depending on the load specifically on it.

The main types of independent spring blocks are:

• Blocks TPK and S500. Each of the springs is in a separate cover and acts independently of the others, changing its height according to the load. And the springs are about 250 per square meter, or up to 512 for one berth . The height of each is more than 10 cm, the diameter is about 6 cm. As a result, the mattress is adjusted to the configuration of the human body, therefore it is convenient and useful to sleep on it. But the springs themselves will not create comfortable conditions for sleeping. Usually TPA is insulated with a thermobond and enveloped on both sides by a layer of eco-foam. Being a substitute for latex, it gives the mattress softness and elasticity. The quilted cover is durable, the double mattress in it retains its shape and appearance.

• Blocks "Bee honeycomb" and Vemestet have 350 springs with a diameter of 6 cm per square meter. They are arranged in staggered order. Because of this, the mattress is more rigid.

• Block S1000 allows you to create an excellent double mattress, the price of which corresponds to its quality. It has about 500 springs per square meter. Diameter of each 4 cm. Designed for increased loads.

• Block S2000 has on a square meter 1000 springs with a diameter of 2.5 cm. It has excellent orthopedic properties. Very expensive.

• Double Spring, Dual Spring - "spring in the spring". Double mattresses, created on the basis of this block, are intended for people of different weight categories. Only after the external spring is pushed, the internal spring is activated. Users of this mattress get double support. There are 250 internal and external springs per m ² .

• Reinforced - the springs are reinforced with thick wire. The thickness of the springs can only be increased on one side. Then a double bed with a mattress is divided into two zones, designed for people with different weights.

• The multi-zone spring unit has springs of varying degrees of rigidity, divided into zones, which can be 3, 5 or 7. The stiffness of the head area in such mattresses differs from the buttock zone.

Mattresses on the dependent spring box "Bonnel"

They are quite reliable. They have 120-160 four-turn springs per square meter. Such double mattresses are cheap. But the orthopedic effect is weak, because the springs are interconnected and compressed under the influence of neighboring ones. The spring unit can serve up to 15 years. The filler loses its shape faster. Now this design is considered obsolete. During use at high loads, the springs begin to creak, they can "shoot" and break through the mattress.

Positive characteristics of spring mattresses

• Have a high orthopedic effect;
• Withstand heavy loads;
• Resistant to deformation;
• The soft filler is stored longer in an independent spring unit.

Spring mattresses: what else should I pay attention to?

• Dust accumulates inside the unit. On the front side of the mattress can also be deposited dust, which causes skin reactions.
• Static stress caused by metal parts of the structure can cause fatigue instead of resting during sleep.
• Moisture is poorly derived from the frame of the mattress, so the springs rust and creak.
• Fluctuations during movement are felt throughout the mattress.
• Sleepers do not have their own individual place and roll on each other.
• Reinforced polyurethane or metal rod edge of the mattress can be very soft or too hard. That's why it's uncomfortable to sit and lie on the edge.
• The high price of quality products.

Springless mattresses

Such models, along with spring ones, have a good orthopedic effect. Can consist of natural and artificial fillers. There are monolithic or puff.

Benefits:

• When they are made, metal components are not used. Therefore, such mattresses do not create a magnetic field around them.
• They are lighter than spring ones.
• Do not accumulate dust.
• The moisture is removed from the inside of the mattress.
• Do not create the unpleasant sensations that are inherent in spring mattresses.
• Do not transmit vibrations from motion in a dream.
• Each of the sleeping has its own individual place.
• Comfortable position throughout the mattress area
• Recommended for adolescents and children.
• They serve longer than spring ones.

Disadvantages:

• Qualitative hypoallergenic fillers are very expensive.
• Rigid spring.

Mattresses for complete

Such products should be made of independent spring blocks (300-600 springs per square meter) and have high rigidity.

You can take with blocks of latex and decking of coconut coir. They are not only reliable, but because of their elasticity they do not deform and quickly acquire the original shape after use. In addition, they do not cause allergies.

Fillers of spring mattresses

In order for the product to be soft and comfortable, it is not enough to supply it with the necessary number of spring blocks. First they are covered with a lining of a furniture net or felt. Then on both sides are covered with fillers, which give softness to the mattress. The thicker the filler layer, the more comfortable the mattress.

Fillers for soft mattresses:

• Natural latex - contains at least 20% rubber, in elite this percentage reaches 85;
• Polyurethane foam (foam rubber) - is an inexpensive analogue of latex;
• Material with a memory effect, a special kind of foam, slowly restored after squeezing.

Fillers for medium hardness mattresses:

• Holofayber (dense artificial non-woven fabric), strtotofayber (can have additives from natural fibers) - more reliable foam rubber;
• Coir - fiber, which is obtained from the fruits of coconut. It is usually diluted in half with latex;
• Foam rubber with coir;
• Coir and natural latex.

Fillers for hard mattresses:

• Foam rubber and coir;
• Coir and hollofiber or struttoiber;
• Coir (the most common).

Location of filler:

1. From two sides. Allows you to turn the mattress from time to time. So it retains its shape longer.
2. One side. This can be as cheap options, and the most expensive ones, which do not need to be turned over.
3. A different type of filler makes it possible to manufacture mattresses with variable (two-sided) stiffness. Soft side can be used in winter, hard side in summer.

Sometimes manufacturers of mattresses use the cheapened fillers. And in this there is nothing terrible. If you want to save and buy cheap double beds with a mattress, this is your right. But sometimes the manufacturer hides the presence in the product of a cheapened filler.

This happens if:

• Foam layer less than 2 cm;
• Latex is thinner than 3 cm;
• Material with memory effect up to 3-4 cm;
• Holofayber (struttofileber) is thinner than 3 cm;
• Coir in a mattress of medium hardness less than 1 cm, hard - up to 3 cm.

Using this information, you can understand why one of the two mattresses is cheaper.

Modern cots

Double mattresses can be used on cots. It is very convenient in the country or in a city apartment, where there is no extra space for extra beds, and guests are often. In such cases, a double folding bed with a mattress will solve many problems. After all, these are not the products that, when used for the first time, become a hammock. More than a dozen lamellas (connecting laths) support the sleeper and evenly distribute his weight. A quality orthopedic mattress with a height of at least 10 cm, equipped with a fixer, allows you to remove the load from the spine and provides a healthy sleep. Naturally, the mattress on the cot is not installed by the elite class. But this design can withstand the weight of up to 250 kg, it can fit two even a fairly large person. Special wheels give the opportunity to transport it from place to place.

Cheap double beds with a mattress can be durable and quality. The secret is usually that the manufacturer uses domestic materials. A wide selection of mattress models allows you to choose the product most suitable for the price and quality of each buyer.
