At the moment, many mattresses are sold in stores, all of them differ in their structure and quality. When buying this type of product, carefulness and scrupulousness are necessary, since this accessory is selected for a long time. Today, in orthopedic accessories, instead of a spring unit, latex is increasingly used, and in models from a variety of manufacturers. Why is there so much interest in latex products?
The main reasons for the popularity of latex mattresses
Based on customer reviews, we highlighted several key reasons for the increased interest in latex orthopedic models and found out why latex products are the best mattresses today.
The first and main reason is the interest of buyers in choosing an environmentally friendly model. This also includes those customers who prefer products made from natural materials, those who want to be sure that their orthopedic accessory does not poison the room with chemical fumes. And although there are other, the same environmentally friendly materials, such as natural cotton, wool, polyurethane foam, viscolatex or other types of components (for example, cedar shavings or buckwheat pocket), and each of these materials has its own unique properties, but none of they do not have such elasticity and the ability to change shape, like latex.
In addition, there is also a latex mattress, customer reviews talk about it, prefer because of antibacteriality and hypoallergenicity. Microorganisms do not live in natural material.
And the last reason noted by a small number of customers is the comfort of latex products. Some people suffer from various pains, and often these are back pains. Others tried various mattresses, but still did not get the desired effect.
But the main reason why products from this filler, according to reviews, are popular, is because they are the most convenient. Latex is at the same time very dense and at the same time, thanks to its elastic properties, resilient and supple.
There are many models of the above mattresses, and each is unique in its own way. In our life, everything natural is preferable, therefore, consumers write in their reviews that when choosing a mattress they are often guided by the naturalness of the material from which the orthopedic accessory is made.
Natural latex mattresses
The naturalness of the material, of course, is the main criterion that guides when choosing an orthopedic accessory.
Natural filler is a type of foam rubber tree foam. Basically, it is safe for allergy sufferers, it supports the body well. Natural latex mattresses will be very expensive, the price for such a mattress is much higher than for a spring one. Since natural material is more expensive and more appreciated by customers. How to understand synthetic or natural latex mattress? User reviews say that by the color of the product you can determine the naturalness: the presence of yellowish greasy cream will say about this filler. It will have many holes with different diameters, which will be responsible for ventilation. Today, one of the leading natural materials, without a doubt, is latex.
Further, I would like to give the main criteria necessary for choosing a springless orthopedic accessory.
How to choose a latex mattress
Before choosing a latex mattress, reviews are worth a look and figure out a few important nuances. It must be remembered that the filler under consideration is this type of milky sap of rubber trees.
When this product is made, antibacterial additives are added to the material and poured into a special sealed form with protruding sticks and pins. At the next stage, it is frozen to -30 ° C, thus, in the latex, breathing holes are formed, similar in shape to bee weaves. These channels provide excellent air circulation, meaning it is breathable. At the final stages of production, carbon dioxide is added, heated, cooled, and a finished latex mattress is obtained.
Thin to choose or thicker is everyone’s business, but it should be noted that there are various models of mattresses of this type from different manufacturers that differ in terms of stiffness, elasticity and the presence of the “summer-winter” effect. A soft mattress, hard or elastic - it all depends on which foam is used (since it is their base). These properties are influenced by the size of the diameter, and how many holes the foam has. For modern models, for example, Ikea products, mattresses are produced using innovative technologies, the surface stiffness level is variable, and this helps different parts of the human body to be supported with different strength and uniform load. This effect occurs because the holes of the same sheet are zoned. As a result, the level of orthopedic effect is the highest for models from the Ikea company, such mattresses will last a very long time. In addition to orthopedic products "Ikea" there are some more models of mattresses that are in demand among consumers, let's dwell on them in more detail.
Best latex mattresses
The brands of mattresses listed below are those models that have received the greatest number of positive reviews and are the best solutions in the price / quality ratio.
SFL Megaflex Latex
Products of this brand are represented by a fairly wide size range - from 60 mm to 230 mm in height. Of course, the cost of these models is affected by the height of the mattress, the higher - the more expensive. If we talk about the standard size 160x190 with a height of 200 mm, then the price of such an orthopedic product will be 37,000 p.
CityLife Gentle
Like the previous brand, the models of this company consist of a monolithic block of natural latex. This soft latex orthopedic mattress with a height of 180 mm is especially suitable for people aged and people suffering from diseases of the joints and blood vessels. The cost of such an accessory with dimensions of 160x200 is 24500 p.
Lordflex's NATURISTA and BIOS CRINE
Both models are latex springless mattresses. The first is hard, the second is softer. These mattresses have 7 zones of rigidity for various parts of the body, for a more comfortable stay. Suitable for people with a lot of weight. Stiffness is achieved due to horse hair of different thicknesses used in the production of the described models. Lordflex's NATURISTA at a height of 22 cm has a price of 87,000 p., And BIOS CRINE with a height of 21 cm costs 70,500 p.
In the end, I would like to summarize by canceling the main advantages of latex mattresses that made them the most popular orthopedic products.
The main advantages of the material
A kind of natural filler is an environmentally friendly material made from hevea juice. In its natural form, latex does not like temperature changes: if the temperature rises, it sticks, and if it drops, it becomes tougher and more fragile.
Therefore, today the production of latex is carried out using two unique technologies - Talalay and Danlop.
It is possible to purchase a coconut mattress, woolen. But only latex easily accepts the shape of the human body. After some time, deformation does not occur and the color does not change. For sleep, they are comfortable and convenient.
Latex materials have special ventilation, resilience and hygiene. Not hygroscopic. The biggest advantage of mattresses from this filler is that there are no dust mites. Life and reproduction of these creatures in latex is simply impossible. If an allergic person lives in a family, then it is better to look at synthetic mattresses, since they are hypoallergenic.
Artificial additives
Orthopedic products that use both natural latex and artificial additives are also sold. Basically, these additives are varieties of flavors and substances that destroy the latex mattress. Reviews from some users say that it is not necessary if artificial additives are used, then the mattress is bad. The main advantage of this type of model is its low cost, much lower than that of products made from natural material.
The disadvantage of a latex mattress is its fragility. After a couple of years, the filler crumbles and becomes thin. But mattresses made of natural material serve for a long time without changes in appearance.
