From the right choice of mattress depends the qualitysleep and general well-being during the day. Today on the market there are models made of different materials and different technologies. Buying a mattress is a responsible step, so any buyer is interested in the question of how to choose the mattress correctly.
Types of mattresses
All mattresses can be divided into two types: springless and spring. Before buying, you need to get information about the features of each species, in order to know how to choose a good mattress.
Springless mattresses are rigid models,made of latex and coconut coir. Instead of latex, an artificial material - polyurethane foam, waterlatex can be used. There are models equipped with a soft top layer.
Spring designs can consist of independent or dependent springs.
Independent springs are placed in cloth cupsand act independently of each other. The advantage of such models is that they provide an even distribution of weight over the surface of the mattress, promote muscle relaxation and the natural position of the spine, but at the same time cost more.
In a mattress with a dependent block, the springs are wovenbetween themselves and by pressing a single spring, the neighboring ones are included in the work. The main disadvantage is the "hammock" effect, the inability to take the shape of the human body.
The base of the mattress consists of wooden rails with springing action, which are involved in the work of the mattress. The base provides good air circulation, thereby increasing the life of the mattress.
As a filler, use foam rubber, felt, wool, coir, natural and artificial latex.
How to choose a mattress
You only need to buy a mattress from well-known manufacturers with experience and established reputation, and only in a specialized store. So, how to choose a mattress?

When choosing a mattress, you should take into account the weight of the sleeper. For people with low weight (up to 60 kg) it is recommended to choose softer models. The heavier the person, the more rigid the mattress should be.

At these mattresses rigid springs with smaller diameter are inserted into soft springs of larger diameter. The lighter person is only on the outer springs. When a heavy man lies on a mattress, soft outer springs are pushed, and he lies on the hard inner ones. For such pairs, springless mattresses made of latex and coir in the form of a sandwich can come up.
