The right mattress
A lot of things in a person's life depend on the right mattress - from a good mood to good health. In this article we will try to talk about the main points that must be considered when acquiring this indispensable attribute, without which normal sleep and rest are impossible.
The choice of mattress depending on the age of its owner
- mattress for newborns. Everyone knows that the formation of the human musculoskeletal system takes more than one year, and even more than one decade. Newly born babies do not yet have strong bones. The formation of their spine has just begun, and this process is ongoing. Therefore, pediatric health experts strongly insist that babies should be put to sleep on the hardest mattresses, best of all springless ones;
- mattresses for children up to 2 to 13 years. During this time, the child moves from a children's bed to a more adult, teenage one. Accordingly, the mattress that should lie on such a bed should be different. When choosing a mattress for a teenager, it should be borne in mind that its mass can change significantly over a short time. Also, the mattress should be selected taking into account the existing features of the development of a teenager. Mattresses of medium firmness should be used here. They can be both springless and spring;
- for older young people under the age of 25, experts do not recommend using soft mattresses. In humans, the spine is formed precisely before this age, so a soft bed can interfere with this process. In this case, mattresses of medium and high rigidity are used. The high firmness of the mattress is recommended for overweight young people.
Mattress characteristics
The firmness of a mattress is an important characteristic. If it is difficult to determine this characteristic when buying, you need to purchase a mattress with different rigidity - on the one hand, the rigidity is high, on the other, it is low.For adults, the choice of stiffness depends on its weight. It is clear that the greater the weight of the sleeper, the harder the mattress he needs. As a rule, a soft mattress is recommended for a person weighing up to 50 kg.
If the weight reaches 70 kg, then a moderately soft mattress is required, and for a person with a weight of 90 kg - medium softness. Heavyweights up to 90 kg need a moderately hard mattress, if the weight is even greater, then he needs to rest on a hard mattress. Fillers in mattresses are different. The best are coconut coir covered with latex, horsehair, just latex.
