Sellers in different stores offer you a lot of options for orthopedic and non -orthopedic mattresses. But what kind of mattress category is it and how it differs from ordinary mattresses?
Orthopedic mattresses appeared on the roar for a very long time. Once they were invented to help patients with joint deformations and spine. Then they began to slowly buy people with back pain – at first only those who suffered greatly with chronic pains; then patients with temporary pain from tension; then office officers with neck pain. And so, the category of people who was interested in orthopedic mattresses expanded until the marketers made the product therapeutic remedy from everything and all diseases. Now, orthopedic mattresses, which were once the prerogative of sick people, have become part of the lives of all people, even those who really do not even hurt the back. Moreover, orthopedic mattresses buy children who still do not even suspect that their body after many years due to load and aging may begin to torment arthritis or discomfort in the spine.
In fairness, it is worth saying that it is convenient and useful to sleep on an orthopedic mattress. Maybe not so much comfortable in the first days after the transition from the soft mattress, but still in the future for the body, this is the best option. But there is one “but” – there are no standards for orthopedic mattresses.
All orthopedic mattresses must support the body during sleep. However, do not forget that ordinary mattresses can do this. A simple hard mattress or medium stiff mattress is suitable for you and your child. Whether he will help to cope with back pain? Unknown. But it is also unknown whether the orthopedic mattress to cope with this task.
In fact, orthopedic mattresses should better support the body than ordinary. And not the whole body at once, but each part of it separately. For this, the manufacturer of orthopedic products is obliged to devote a lot of time to the structure of the person and his anatomy, and not additional functionality, such as the cooling buttons and heating the mattress. Spring testing machines are also very important for the operation of spring manufacturers for mattresses. Moreover, it is extremely important that the springs are independent (that is, packed in separate pockets). Experts say that the minimum difference between a conventional mattress and orthopedic should be the number of springs (increased three times by orthopedic mattress). This will help the mattress better respond to body movements at night. The mattress on dependent springs is not called orthopedic at all, and as for mattresses with memory foam, everyone diverges in opinion. Some say that they cannot be considered orthopedic, while others assure that this is a soft version of orthopedic mattresses.
Often mattress manufacturers produce simple hard mattresses with orthopedic label. They do not lie. Hard mattresses can perfectly support the body, and if they support the body, why not consider them orthopedic and sell more expensive? Sometimes it happens that a very expensive bed can be sold as orthopedic, although it is the orthopedic properties of this bed that will be similar to the properties of the mattress for 20 thousand rubles. The rest of the amount can be added to the cost due to the functionality (for example, heating or lifting mechanisms and t. p.).
All mattress designs are very different from each other. Manufacturers organize such a sandwich inside the mattress that even Subway is unable to compare with them by the number of ingredients in their sandwichs. Not only materials are combined here, but also their types, quantity, interweaving, mounts, etc. p. And you know why? Because every person needs his own mattress, just as every person likes his own type of sandwich. There are people who are suitable for a doctoral on a piece of Borodinsky, and there are people who need a huge sandwich with all the fillers and Extra onions.
In other words, to buy the right mattress, you need to focus not at all on the category of orthopedic mattresses, but on your feelings. The mattress store has places where you can lie down on mattresses and check which one you like more. Do not buy a mattress on the principle of what you read in its characteristics or reviews about it. There may be useful information for comprehension, but all opinions are subjective. The fact that the orthopedist of one company can be called an excellent solution for people with a sore back will turn out to be that the orthopedist of another company will not advise for your sore back. Yes, and your back can decide that you bought her something wrong, even if the rest of the world will sleep on the same and screaming, how great it is.
