Mattresses
We have prepared for you the guide to choosing the best mattress for your well-being.
Often we like to focus our energies on buying a bed that is aesthetically pleasing to our eyes and that knows how to meet our style and personality in furnishing the home and bedroom. However, even if the mattress is rarely visible, it takes on a fundamental role at the center of our lives, determining the quality of our sleep .
It is known that sleeping optimally and in the best possible conditions for our body also determines all the positive development of the day. And who starts well… Exactly, it's already half done!
What is the perfect size for me?
The first search parameter for identifying your mattress is the size, which is divided into standard formats and special formats. These are the result of studies and research carried out by manufacturers in the sector on the quality and dynamics of sleep and are approved by the EU.
FORMATI SPECIALI
French double
Mattress 140 x 200 cm
It's the trend of the moment.
With its format narrower in width but longer in depth than a standard double, it establishes itself as the most coveted choice.
King size mattress
Mattress up to 180 x 200 cm
Do you have a lot of space for the greatest possible comfort?
It is the extra-large mattress par excellence, of American inspiration but entirely Italian production.
STANDARD FORMATS
Surely you are already familiar with the three most standard mattress formats: single, queen size, double .
Let's see them equally in comparison and in detail, highlighting their salient characteristics and the necessary differences.
Single mattress
Children
bedroom
80 x 190 cm
90 x 190 cm
90 x 200 cm
- Takes up little space
- Limited freedom of movement
One and a half square mattress
Teenagers
Adults looking for more comfort
Bedroom/guest room
120 x 190 cm
120 x 200 cm
- Great alternative to single mattress
- Good freedom of movement
Double mattress
Couples
double room
160 x 190 cm
160 x 200 cm
- Sharing of space
- It must satisfy the rest needs of two different people
What is the ideal type for my rest?
Once you have identified the size you want to buy, carefully evaluate the composition and material of the mattress.
FOAM MATTRESSES
Currently they are the most appreciated and requested.
They are composed of one or more slabs of foams.
Memory foam mattress
- "Keeps in memory" the shape of the body and molds itself to your physical structure;
- It does not create pressure points, making it particularly suitable for those suffering from back pain and lumbar pain;
- It is breathable, thermosensitive and thermoregulatory : it maintains a constant temperature during sleep, controls perspiration and creates an ideal microclimate;
- It cushions movements very well , so it lends itself to being lived and shared as a double mattress!
Latex mattress
- It has great elasticity ;
- Promotes circulation ;
- It is made up of "lift zones", stiffer and softer sections that help the musculoskeletal system find and maintain optimal position ;
- It is cool and breathable , even in summer.
What's your choice? Reception or elastic response?
SPRING MATTRESSES
It has always been the most widespread type and consists of a variable density of metal springs inside and a fabric surface.
Traditional spring mattress
- The springs are connected to each other;
- An interconnected structure of springs creates a propagation of movement by deforming a larger surface than necessary;
- They are known for their stiffness ;
- They still represent the best-selling mattresses today, as well as the cheapest ;
- They are durable and can last for several years.
Pocket/independent spring mattress
- The springs are pocketed individually;
- In a shared mattress condition, the pocket springs allow personalized movements without compromising the sleep of the other occupant of the bed;
- They consist of the right middle ground between spring stiffness and progressive elasticity given by the independence of movement;
- In principle, the quality of the mattress is directly proportional to the quantity of springs present .
Which mattresses can be classified as a medical device?
A medical mattress is designed and manufactured for all those suffering from pathologies that can be treated thanks to an excellent quality of sleep. Usually these are disorders related to the musculoskeletal system, but the scope of interest can be broader. Let's see the main categorizations of this type of mattress.
ANTI-DECUBITUS MATTRESSES
They are devices indicated to all people confined to bed for a prolonged period of time in conditions of complete or partial immobility (patients, disabled, elderly ), as it is a product that helps prevent the appearance of bedsores caused by from excessively prolonged contact with the same surface.
Air bubbles, polyurethane foam or memory foam prevent the appearance and treatment of this problem.
ORTHOPEDIC MATTRESSES
They are generally identified in "very hard and rigid mattresses", because for a long time it was believed that people with back problems could benefit from sleeping on a particularly rigid support.
However, recent studies have shown that the best mattress for sleeping should be neither too hard nor too soft, but rather an ergonomic mattress, capable of adapting to the shape of the body, providing perfect support for well-being throughout the day.
