A folding sofa is available in each house and is used as the main or additional bed. Sleeping on such a sofa is not always comfortable, because when unfolded it consists of two halves, between which there is a gap.
In addition, over time, the existing filler rolls from half to the center, and significant dents and recesses form. Comfortable and functional mattresses-toppers will help to eliminate such shortcomings, most of which are positive reviews. Such a soft bed helps to smooth out existing irregularities, which ensures the anatomically correct position of the spine.
What are toppers
The orthopedic mattress topper has the most positive customer reviews, since it can help you to have a calm, comfortable sleep throughout the night and in excellent condition after waking up. Toppers are thin springless mattresses filled with various artificial and natural materials. They lay on the surface of a bed or sofa, as well as on top of a regular mattress.
The functional purpose is to level the bed and give it orthopedic qualities. Moreover, models of such berths are used for a variety of purposes. To give softness, mattresses with polyurethane filling are used, and to make the surface more rigid, toppers with coconut guillemot are needed.
What is a topper for?
Folding sofas are operated not only at night, but also during the day, therefore they experience a double load and wear out very quickly. However, most of these furniture items do not have the required solid orthopedic base. Topper mattresses have earned the best customer reviews because they help to fix the existing disadvantages of the sofa and are used for:
- surface leveling;
- connection of sliding parts;
- provide more comfortable sleep.
In addition, with the help of such products, you can adjust the required stiffness and softness of the berth, give the sofa orthopedic qualities and extend its life.
What are the types of fillers
Choosing a high-quality and reliable mattress topper, you need to focus on the following qualities:
- compactness;
- ease;
- the presence of orthopedic properties.
That is why spring blocks cannot be used as the basis for the manufacture of toppers , as they have considerable weight and take up a lot of space. Toppers belong to the category of springless mattresses and have a small thickness, as well as weight. Among the most popular materials used as fillers, it is necessary to highlight such as:
- coir;
- latex;
- artificial latex;
- polyurethane foam;
- memorial form;
- combined option.
Coira is a natural material made from coconut palm fiber. The coir is initially pressed, then processed in various ways, it can be fastened by firmware or impregnated with latex. The filler, not processed with latex, is more rigid and has a short life. When choosing a mattress with a coir, one must take into account its rigidity, which is determined by the amount of latex.
Latex is a natural material that holds its shape very well, has good orthopedic qualities and does not emit dangerous toxic substances. Such a base provides the required air exchange, helps to maintain a certain body temperature. Even a very thin latex mattress will provide the spine with the support you need and give you a feeling of relaxation.
Artificial latex in its characteristics is close to natural, however, it is characterized by greater rigidity and has a shorter period of use. In addition, in its production, substances are used that, gradually evaporating, can have a negative effect on the well-being of a person.
Quite often, in the manufacture of toppers, polyurethane foam is used, which has an acceptable cost, however, at the same time, it is quite short-lived. The degree of elasticity is somewhat inferior to latex. Orthopedic characteristics are expressed poorly enough. They are mainly used if the sofa is rarely used as a sleeping place.
The filler memorial is made of polyurethane with the addition of special additives. This is a very pleasant material that provides the maximum level of comfort, as it minimizes pressure on the body. Such a mattress is able to give a feeling of weightlessness, but is not able to provide sufficient air exchange.
Combined options combine all the advantages of artificial and natural materials, are characterized by a long service life, and have good permeability to moisture and air. It is possible to choose different models according to the level of rigidity.
Materials for making a topper cover
When choosing a mattress, the quality of the cover for the topper, as well as the material from which it is made, is taken into account. The characteristics of the mattress itself and its cost largely depend on the cover. Best of all, if it is made of natural fabrics that allow good air permeability, in particular, such as:
Combined materials can also be selected. Quite often there are products with satin sheathing, however, the most popular sheathing is jacquard made of pure cotton or with the addition of synthetic fibers.
Orthopedic qualities of a mattress
In the process of studying people's reviews about topper mattresses, you can make sure that these are high-quality and reliable products that provide the most comfortable rest and sleep. They can be:
- orthopedic;
- take the anatomical shape of the body;
- bend only in places where pressure is exerted.
Almost all toppers have an orthopedic effect, but to varying degrees: it all depends on the filler. If you need to give the bedroom place more rigidity, then you should buy a product from coconut coir. The latter in combination with natural latex allows you to organize a sleeper of medium degree of rigidity. If you need to soften the sofa, then you should buy a topper made of latex, memorials or polyurethane foam.
How to choose the right topper on the sofa
To choose the right mattress topper, reviews need to be read in the first place. In addition, it should be clearly understood for what purpose this product is intended. All toppers differ in their characteristics, so it is important to know in what conditions the mattress will be operated.
The most rigid and dense mattresses are made of coir. Under them, differences in height and joints are invisible. Such mattresses are ideal for young people who do not have problems with the skeletal system and do not suffer from excess weight.
A polyurethane foam mattress is ideal for those whose weight does not exceed the average, as the product has almost no orthopedic support, and all the unevenness of the sofa will be immediately felt.
