Good and comfortable sleep is the key to vigor, excellent well-being and good health in general. Unfortunately, not everyone can boast of the maximum comfortable bed. But the main element that ensures sleep comfort is a good and reliable mattress.

Today there are many types and options of mattresses, which differ in filling. In addition to modern orthopedic options, so-called coconut mattresses have begun to gain popularity.

What it is?

The main element of this model is coconut coir - this is a special fabric obtained as a result of preliminary processing of coconuts. She has a number positive qualities, which are able to provide the necessary level of rigidity, elasticity and comfort necessary for sleep.

At its core, coir is a 100% natural product, as it is made from coconut fiber without any additional materials. In order to obtain it, the nuts are soaked in ordinary water approximately 10 months, due to which the soft fibers are easily separated from the hard ones.

The “woolen” part of the fruit is sorted after separation. Longer and stronger sections will be used to make ropes, and short and tangled fabrics will be selected for coir. When transported, they resemble the haystacks familiar to many of us in appearance. But unlike dry grass, soft fabrics coconuts do not prick and spring better.

In order to make a mattress, or rather, a solid block for filling it, the manufacturer can use two various technologies. The first of them, the simplest and most accessible, is based on pressing large quantity coirs. As a result, a “briquette” of a certain density and rigidity is formed, which is perforated with special needles to circulate air and increase service life. After this, the filler is cut into separate blocks with the required proportions.

Some mattresses may also contain coconut fiber with the addition of natural rubber or latex.

Typically, materials are mixed in proportions of 50:50, but some domestic manufacturers focus on hardness, choosing proportions of 70:30. In general, latex gives this coconut filler greater elasticity and strength, which makes it a universal material for any bed, and also increases its service life.

Thus, when choosing coconut fillers, you can be sure that you are using a natural product. In addition, coir has a lot of positive qualities that will affect not only your sleep and rest, but also your health in general.

Which is better - felt or coconut?

Enough frequently asked question those who are not sure about the need to update their bed. It should be noted right away that even among most manufacturers, not to mention the consumers themselves, felt is a material that is becoming a thing of the past.

The thing is that it is in many ways inferior to coir in its qualities. Indeed, felt is another good option for natural filler, but it does not have a sufficient combination of elasticity and rigidity.

There are mattress options with felt bases that can provide comfortable sleep for a period of time. After the expiration date, felt very quickly loses its quality, sags, and rolls up.

As for coir, it is devoid of such disadvantages. As it turned out, such simple material is more reliable. Combination with latex allows you to achieve much better foundation for a mattress that will last much longer, while perfectly conforming to the shape of your body and guaranteeing comfort.

In addition, there is some evidence that felt, unlike plant-based materials, is much more likely to cause allergic reactions. It is also a fairly favorable environment for various insects, bacteria, fungi. This made it far from the best choice, especially when it comes to buying a crib mattress.

This is why mattresses filled with coconut began to gain such popularity and displace their “felt” competitors.

Benefits and harms

But don't limit yourself to only the positive aspects. When you choose a place to sleep, you are, of course, interested in all the advantages and disadvantages. To decide for yourself whether sleeping on coconut coir is good or bad, just evaluate all the pros and cons provided in the following list:

• The filler made from the soft tissues of coconut palm fruits is quite beneficial for our body. It is hypopallergenic, does not have any negative effect on the skin, does not form small dust particles;
• Koira not exposed dampness and rotting;
• Coconut mattresses, as a rule, have quite high orthopedic indicators;
• Filler is excellent ventilated and does not accumulate unpleasant odors or dust;
• Vegetable base made from coir, including in combination with latex not a breeding ground for bacteria, mites, fungi or mold;
• Enough long service life.

We can safely say that such a mattress will not be harmful to any consumer. However, it also has some disadvantages that must be taken into account when purchasing and using:

• Koira- not the best available material For domestic producers. Therefore, you should be prepared for the fact that coconut mattresses are relatively expensive;
• If you choose a mattress with coir and latex, then keep in mind that it may have a rubber smell. According to the manufacturers, the specific “aroma” disappears a few hours after opening the package and protective film. However, a lot depends on the quality of coir and latex, so pay special attention to them;
• More expensive and good option considered to be 100% compressed coconut fabric. But she is very picky in terms of use. If used incorrectly, this filler can dry out and crumble.

Who is it suitable for?

Coconut mattresses are a universal base for sleeping place, which has high orthopedic performance, an ideal combination of elasticity and rigidity, and also has the ability to be combined with other filler options.

The environmental friendliness and safety of coir allows it to be used for both adults and children. In general, anyone who needs a sound and comfortable sleep should choose such a mattress.

For children

One of the most valuable qualities of coconut filler is the ability to use it for a child’s bed, even if we are talking about a newborn baby. Moreover, many experienced pediatricians recommend giving preference to such material, since in the first months of your child’s life, his posture and figure are just developing and he needs increased rigidity of the sleeping surface.

Coir, enclosed in an equally reliable and hypoallergenic cover, for example, made of natural cotton, is best suited for a crib, stroller or cradle.

In addition to quality and safety, this choice makes it easy to wash the bed. With age, when your baby learns to sit and stand on his own, you can slightly reduce the hardness by choosing a mattress with latex coconut filling.

A special double-sided children's mattress is considered an ideal option. One side of it is made of high-grade coconut fiber, and the second is made of softer materials. From the first days of life until about a year, the child sleeps on the harder side, and then the mattress is simply turned over.

Kinds

In general, coir bases allow you to achieve a wide variety of filler combinations. Today the most famous and popular are considered the following types coconut mattresses:

• Based on 100% coconut fiber. Such mattresses are the hardest and are recommended for use by people who suffer from various musculoskeletal disorders;
• With coconut fiber shavings impregnated with natural latex. This combination has become very popular as it provides ideal rigidity, elasticity and ventilation;
• Mattresses with spring blocks, which are covered with several layers of coir. This option is most suitable for people with increased weight and anyone who does not like too soft beds;
• With additional fillers, among which cotton, felt, buckwheat, and any other natural materials can be used.

Dimensions

The simplicity of making coconut filler allows you to create completely different proportions of the base for mattresses. Much depends on the manufacturer. For example, some trade marks they purchase ready-made “briquettes”, therefore, as a rule, their price is limited to fairly standardized sizes like 160x200, 90x200, 60x120, 160x70, 140x200, 140x70, 90x200, 160x80, 180x80. In European regions, the standards are 160x200, as well as a mattress length of 140 cm with a width of 70 cm, which forms one standard sleeping place.

If pressing or latexing of coir occurs directly at the manufacturer’s premises, a wider range of mattress sizes is possible: 73x198, 68x153, 75x195, 125x65, 90x40, 78x193, 63x158. It is these manufacturers that can offer special mattresses for cribs or strollers.

• Buy mattresses only in professional specialized stores and salons. Never order a future stock via the Internet, as you will not have the opportunity to initially test it for yourself and check it in detail;
• Feel free to view a sample of the product. Any professional salon has separate samples that demonstrate all the “insides” of the types of mattresses available in the assortment;
• Make sure it is not too thin. Even if the sample shows that it has an impressive layer of coir, in reality this will be completely insufficient. It is better to give preference to options with additional separate spring blocks or alternating dense layers of several natural materials;

• The best orthopedic material for combination with coir is holofiber. It practically does not wrinkle and will allow your mattress to always return to its original state. Even a relatively small layer of this material radically changes the situation, so it is in your interests that the mattress has at least a basic holofiber backing;
• If the bed is large, a standard double mattress may not be suitable. therefore, always take measurements and inquire about the possibility of custom ordering;
• Pay attention to the external materials of the bed. Immediately refuse options with cheap synthetics and give preference to mattresses with covers made of natural cotton;
• For one bed, a double-sided mattress can be an economical choice, which will allow you to alternate between hardness and softness by turning it over. These mattress options are especially popular for children's bedrooms;
• Do not forget about your weight, since coir is a rather sensitive material. If your weight exceeds 90 kg, then you should pay attention to options with additional spring blocks, which will not only provide additional comfort, but also longer service life of the mattress.

How to properly care?

Typically, the features of caring for such sleeping products are indicated in their passport. However, it is recommended to comply general recommendations To prevent your coconut mattress from deteriorating too quickly:

• Avoid putting excessive weight on it! The service life will increase if you do not put heavy things on the mattress and do not allow children to jump on it;
• If you have a model with thin layer coke, then you should not twist it or fold it even for a short period of time;
• Store your mattress only in horizontal position;
• Don't forget to turn it over periodically even if your model is not double-sided;
• Choose mattresses with replaceable covers to so that you have the opportunity to wash regularly.

In the design of a mattress, spunbond, first of all, acts as a cushioning (shielding) material, i.e. protects softer flooring materials and upholstery from springs. The screen is only used in spring mattresses, it is installed after the spring block to increase the service life of the fillers. The shielding fabric insulates the spring block and does not allow polyurethane foam to fall into the spring cups of the block. Depending on the required rigidity, they can be used as a screen. various materials: burlap, calico, spunbond, lavsanite, felt, plastic mesh etc.

In modern mattresses domestic production The most widely used shielding materials are spunbond and felt. It must be said that, just like in the upholstered furniture segment, spunbond non-woven fabric is used in the manufacture of cheap category mattresses. First of all, because for the production of more expensive mattresses a completely different composition of flooring materials is used, due to which spunbond, as well as its more expensive woven counterparts, is most often not required. The fact is that in mattresses in the “above average” price category, non-woven fabrics such as:
. Felt;
. Lavsanite;
. Coconut coir;
. Srootofiber;

Thermopressed felt (KM - construction material) is a material obtained by sintering synthetic and natural fibers, which are waste from weaving. The composition may include various threads, wool tow, pieces of batting, and small shreds. The density of this material is 500 g/m2, giving the mattress hardness and durability, and serves as an excellent insulating material.

Lavsanite is an insulating material consisting of lavsan threads fastened together special technology. The density of lavsanite is 300 g/m2 and serves the same purposes as heat-pressed felt.

Coconut fiber (coir) is a hard filler that is usually placed on top of heat-pressed felt or lavsanite and serves as additional insulation for spring blocks. It is strong, environmentally friendly, durable, natural material obtained from a natural product and bonded with latex glue. This material is well ventilated and allows moisture to pass through well, while remaining dry, as it has an adhesive water-repellent protective film.

Strutofiber is a tubular polyester fiber impregnated with silicone. It is elastic and soft, environmentally friendly, has a heat-protective and sound-absorbing effect. There are 4 types: pure polyester, with cotton fiber, with wool, with seaweed, with horsehair. Strutto with additives increases the density of the material by 1 sq.m. As a result, rigidity also increases. They are also used for people with a diseased spine, osteochondrosis, etc. Thickness 2cm, density 760g/m2, width 2m. Thickness 4 cm, density 2200 g/m2, 1520 g/m2.

All these materials serve to achieve additional hardness, elasticity of the mattress, surface leveling, etc., but in addition they also serve as an excellent insulator for the spring block. Thus, if a flooring material with a high insulating ability is used, then there is no need to lay spunbond as well. Another thing is if hard flooring material is not used (usually an economy-class product), then the soft element of the mattress must be protected from the influence of the spring block with spunbond or other woven material.

A classic economy class mattress has the following design:

Cover: quilted on padding polyester/wadding, jacquard/calico fabric;
. Foam rubber (polyurethane foam);
. Spunbond;
. Bonnell spring block.

Natural latex can be used as a soft element.

If we are talking about middle and premium class mattresses, then there are possible various options composition. However, the main feature is that a layer of heat-pressed felt is added directly to the spring block with a density of 500-600 g/sq.m. Batting (300 g/sq.m) and other materials described above can also be used. Some mattress manufacturers, targeting consumers with “above average” incomes, note a tendency to switch entirely to felt or thermal felt (a cheaper version of felt), as a higher quality material with additional functions.

At the same time, speaking about the two main insulation options - spunbond and felt - in no case can they be called substitutes for each other. These are two different classes of mattresses, and the materials are different various functions. It should be borne in mind that there are also models using felt and spunbond at the same time, or coconut coir and spunbond.

To insulate the spring block, a fairly dense spunbond of 40-100 g/sq.m is used.

One of the most popular materials used in the manufacture of modern mattresses is thermal felt. This non-woven material is made by mixing fibers of natural and synthetic origin. Sheets are made from thermal felt, which are located on both sides of the spring block in an orthopedic mattress.

Thermal felt composition

Thermal felt is an essay on a free theme. Each manufacturer determines for himself percentage natural fibers and synthetics. There are no rules determining what materials will be used. Most often, synthetics in such material do not exceed forty percent, but there are also options when it is not used at all. It is worth noting that when using high-quality materials, this does not affect performance characteristics finished thermal felt.

The most popular synthetic fibers are polypropylene and acrylic. The first one is known to everyone. After all, it is the basis for foam rubber and has excellent properties - strength, reliability, resistance to high loads. As for acrylic, it has good low thermal conductivity. As a replacement for these two materials, some manufacturers often use polyester and polyamide fibers.

The natural part is usually represented by wool, cotton, jute and flax regenerated fibers.

Characteristics of thermal felt

A sheet of thermal felt is usually a little more than two meters wide. This is quite enough for the production of a mattress, while the amount of waste is kept to a minimum.

Why is thermal felt so good? What characteristics make it so popular among well-known manufacturers?

First of all, it's dense. For sheet material the parameter “surface density” is used, which is measured in grams per square meter and kilograms per square meter. Those. the mass of one square meter of material.

Thanks to this density, it effectively isolates the springs from the top layer material in the mattress. For example, the model is Mattress "Classic +15 BS" (Jacquard). Its base is a bonnell spring block, insulated with a layer of thermal felt, and a layer of polyurethane foam is placed on top, which gives comfort to the top layer. This is the most classic example use of thermal felt in mattresses.

There are other extremely important parameters such as elongation at break and breaking load. In the first case, this is an indicator of how much the material stretches before it begins to tear. In the second, we can understand how much body weight the mattress can support without the risk of damage to the thermal felt sheet.

Durability is important for a mattress. because this material important parameter is resistance to physical wear and tear under constant mechanical influence. High-quality thermal felt lasts for years without losing its properties.

Thickness. Typically this parameter starts at three millimeters. But different manufacturers and for different models of mattresses the parameter changes.

It's hygienic safe material, which even when destroyed does not pollute environment and safe for allergy sufferers.

Features of thermal felt manufacturing technology

To create this popular material, special devices are used - plucking and carding machines, which prepare the fibers used in production. Then, in special machine, they are mixed in a special way and shaped. After this, the material is fastened using the needle-punched method, or by thermal bonding. In the first case, we are talking about firmware. But many manufacturers, for reliability, even after this use the thermal method.

When thermal bonding, the workpiece is heated to 190 degrees Celsius, after which it is pressed. A special apparatus is used for this. After the synthetic fibers melt, the material is securely bonded.

What is thermal felt used for in mattresses?

In modern orthopedic mattresses, this material is used to protect the fillers. It is installed in such a way that this layer separates the spring block from the materials. Also, thanks to its properties, it makes it possible to provide the same spring pressure on the human body over the entire surface of the mattress. The mattress becomes more comfortable and maintains the desired level of firmness.

Soft felt in mattresses

In addition to pressed felt - thermal felt, soft felt (cotton fabric) is also used in mattresses. It serves to isolate the fillers from human contact. A striking example Moreover, Beautyson mattresses, in particular Mattress "Multipackage Prestige" .

In the production of mattresses today, materials of both natural and artificial origin are used. The most popular natural mattress fillers are materials obtained from the juice of Hevea, coconuts, oil palm fruits, algae, and also from agave leaves. In addition, frequently used natural fillers include soy, horsehair, cotton, felt and wool. Modern natural fillers provide a high level of comfort for mattresses, often providing not only a bactericidal, but also a massage effect. They are generally more durable than their synthetic counterparts.

1. Coconut coir

Coconut coir is considered the hardest material used in the production of mattresses. This modern, environmentally friendly material is characterized by durability, high elasticity and excellent bactericidal properties. For countries with high humidity levels, it is very valuable that coconut coir will not rot no matter the humidity. This natural material is obtained by processing the intercarp of the coconut palm nut in a special way. Impregnation of coconut fibers with natural latex provides the coir with excellent elasticity and protects it from delamination.

Innovative technologies also make it possible to process coconut by reinforcing its fibers with a mesh of 100% polyester material (Politex coconut). This technology guarantees the highest strength of mattresses, ensures their excellent orthopedic properties and extends their service life by 20%.

2. Cactus coir

Cactus coir (also called "Mexican fiber", "sisal" and "Tampico fiber") is one of the best natural fibers. Mattresses with such filling are classified as medium hard. It has excellent antistatic properties and protects against the feeling of heat, promoting the evaporation of moisture. It's rude strong fiber obtained from agave leaves. It is believed that the milky white fibers of sisal are much more elastic and softer than the woody, hard fibers of coconut coir.

3. Palm coir

This natural material from the fruit of the oil palm is valued for its extremely high elasticity, durability and resilience. At the same time, palm coir mattresses are well ventilated, protecting the sleeping person from contact with various germs and dust mites.

4. Seaweed

This natural material is unique because, thanks to its high concentration of microelements, it can have a therapeutic, bactericidal and preventive effect. However, it crumbles quite easily. To increase strength, it is specially impregnated with latex or other materials are added to form the base of the mattress. The algae themselves impart rigidity to the filler, providing orthopedic properties to the products.

5. Latex

This popular filler is based on Hevea juice extract and is durable. Natural latex is resistant to caking, does not cause allergies, and also prevents the appearance of various microorganisms in mattresses and rotting even in a humid environment.

Thanks to a special microporous structure reminiscent of a honeycomb, latex gives mattresses exceptional softness and the ability to easily restore their original shape. Uniform distribution of air in latex mattress provides excellent comfort and unsurpassed massage effect. It perfectly supports the spine, ideally distributing the load. The great advantage of this natural filler is the perfect ventilation even of the inner layers of the mattress.

Because the natural latex is quite expensive, a cheaper synthetic substitute has been created. However, artificial latex is slightly stiffer and less durable than its natural counterpart.

6. Soy

Soy fillers are made from an aqueous solution of soy with the addition of high-tech polymer additives. Such mattresses are non-toxic and do not cause allergies. At the same time, they are valued for their tight support, amazing elasticity and resilience. In addition, they are well ventilated.

7. Horsehair

The advantages of horsehair mattresses include optimal rigidity, durability and the ability to retain heat well, thanks to the air layer. Fillers with the addition of horsehair do not retain moisture and protect products from rotting.

8. Wool

The wool of various animals is often used to fill orthopedic mattresses on the winter side. This significantly increases the mattress's ability to retain heat and absorb moisture, providing pleasant dream. Also, the advantages of wool include the firmness and elasticity of the fleece.

9. Cotton

Filling made from natural cotton fibers is used in mattresses on the summer side to dissipate the heat of a sleeping person. Natural cotton fiber has a high moisture absorption capacity. It is very convenient that in winter cotton can retain heat, and on hot summer nights it can give a feeling of pleasant freshness.

Felt (this is a woven fabric made of wool and cotton) shows good characteristics in terms of hygroscopicity and thermal conductivity. It often acts as an insulating layer between soft fillers and springs. This design gives the mattresses additional elasticity and strength.

Such diversity natural fillers allows you today to choose a mattress that will truly take care of comfortable sleep and the health of a person of any age and size.

From the point of view of consumer properties, the entire variety of mattresses can be divided into three groups according to hardness: soft, medium hard and hard. This same characteristic can be called “elasticity”. The rigidity of the mattress is ensured by the use of a spring block in its design, as well as special fillers such as coconut coir. In general, the more springs per square meter in a block, the thicker the layer of coconut coir, the stiffer the mattress.

The softness of the mattress is given by materials such as,. The more soft layers between the cover and the hard element of the mattress, the thicker these layers, the softer mattress. The soft layer takes the shape of the human body, allowing the muscles to relax. Moreover, polyurethane foam and latex come in different densities. The lower the density of the material, the softer base. The softest mattress will be one that uses “memory effect” materials that take the shape of the human body.

You need to know that mattress bases are made from artificial latex and, moreover, those made from polyurethane foam are less durable and less environmentally friendly than those made from natural latex. The fact is that with daily use, residual deformations gradually accumulate in the mentioned artificial soft materials. In addition, foam rubber is destroyed by moisture, releasing toxic substances, and human skin always evaporates water to maintain a stable body temperature. All this means that in two to three years (depending on the person’s weight) the foam bed will be pressed through, and instead of a positive orthopedic effect, we get the exact opposite - an unnaturally curved position of the spine guarantees back pain and terrible health after sleep.

Natural latex is resilient and elastic, it can be washed, and it does not provoke allergic reactions.

By internal structure There are spring and springless mattresses. The same softness and elasticity indicators can be achieved for any of these types of construction. But spring mattresses, having excellent orthopedic properties, are priced somewhat lower than springless ones.

It is possible to choose a mattress with different elasticity options for each of the two sides. For example, one is of medium hardness, the second is with a more pronounced orthopedic effect. In this case, you can change the firmness according to your mood simply by turning the mattress 180°.

Orthopedic or anatomical?

If you have a question about which mattress to choose is better - orthopedic or anatomical - you should know that these two concepts do not exclude, but complement each other.

Strictly speaking, the orthopedic function contributes to the correction and correction of a deficiency (temporary or even permanent). As a rule, “orthopedic” mattresses are anatomical. They can also quite rightly be called anatomical mattresses with an orthopedic effect. When purchasing, you need to select it depending on your weight, hip width, shoulder width, and your habit of sleeping on your stomach, side, or back. As a rule, people with low weight, narrow hips, and often on their stomach or back like to sleep on a “hard” base. People with narrow shoulders prefer to sleep on their sides, otherwise they need a high pillow. Often, orthopedic doctors recommend the use of orthopedic mattresses of medium and increased hardness for children and adolescents - as a guarantee of the correct formation of the growing skeleton.

As you know, the spine is not only the core of the human musculoskeletal system. Through spinal cord located in the spine, nerve impulses travel to every organ of the body. Damage to the spine threatens not only paralysis of the limbs, it is difficult to hope for normal work other internal organs. Currently, unfortunately, many people are susceptible to certain spinal diseases associated with lifestyle and work habits. It’s easy to purchase them, but fixing them is much more difficult.

Orthopedic mattress- This modern remedy to combat deformities of the spine and musculoskeletal system, as well as to prevent them. This is a way to maintain your health without putting any effort into it. After all, you will be treated in your sleep, in your own bed.
An orthopedic mattress is designed to create the so-called straight back effect. This means that when a person lies on such a mattress, his spine remains straight throughout the entire time. Today, almost all modern mattresses have orthopedic properties to one degree or another.

The secret of comfort anatomical mattress lies in the special structure of its spring block. The diameter of the springs is so small that there are more than 500 of them per square meter. Due to the fact that the springs are not connected to each other, they cover the contours of the body with maximum precision, the natural curves of the spine are not distorted, and the body muscles can completely relax during sleep. Each spring in the block has a separate fabric cover, and therefore anatomical mattresses never creak. The softness of such a mattress is given by multi-layered covering layers, such as,.

Anatomical mattress is capable of completely repeating the anatomical shape of a person. It's like sports insoles for perfect feet. Anatomical insoles conform to the foot and prevent it from trampling and getting tired.

However, we sleep, first of all, to rest comfortably and gain strength, and only secondly, to achieve a therapeutic effect. That is why when choosing a mattress, the main condition is comfort, and if there is also a healing function, then this is very reasonable.

Types and properties of spring blocks

The main advantage spring mattresses, of course, is their relatively low price compared to springless ones. At the same time, spring mattresses have good orthopedic properties.

But it would be incorrect to talk about spring mattresses in general. Because this group includes a whole range of mattresses that are dramatically different from each other. Thus, spring mattresses are usually classified depending on the shape of the springs, the way they are woven and their location.

The most popular are mattresses based on continuous weaving blocks. Their second name is Bonel blocks. This is a classic block of five-turn bicone springs, connected by a steel spiral and fastened with a rigid steel frame.

The springs are made of 2.2 mm thick wire and have special units to provide additional rigidity. The number of springs is 110-120 pieces per m2.

Relatively inexpensive, they can withstand heavy loads. This system of springs is orthopedic because it allows you to hold the body in an anatomical position. correct position. It is the basis for mattresses of medium and high hardness.

The main disadvantage of continuous weave mattresses is that they use large-diameter springs, due to which the edges of the springs can over time push through the soft material covering layer. This problem This is solved by using dense coconut coir or horsehair, which protect the soft layer. In addition, it is desirable to use modern materials, such as struttofiber, holofiber, latex, which can withstand a huge number of compression-recovery cycles without losing their original shape. Bonel type mattresses are ideal for people who do not have back problems, as well as for children and teenagers. Our store offers several inexpensive mattress models<.....>, "" based on the Bonel block.

Block-based mattresses are also produced independent springs. In this case, each barrel-shaped spring is placed in a special bag made of non-woven material. Thanks to this design feature, mattresses on an independent spring block are silent. Blocks of independent springs create an anatomical effect, distribute the weight of the human body, giving a feeling of complete relaxation to the entire body.

Compared to the Bonnell block, independent springs provide greater comfort during sleep and avoid the “wave effect”, when the compression of one spring entails the compression of the others.

You will find a wide selection of mattress models based on a block of independent springs in the section:
- (block of independent springs TFK- 250 springs per m2)

One of the varieties of the independent block is the “multi-package”, which, thanks to the increased number of springs, has increased comfort, withstands heavy loads and provides high elasticity, improving blood circulation. Collection:

- (multi-package S1000 - 500 springs per m 2 (section for reconstruction)

In the "Micropackage" block of independent springs, thanks to the high density of the springs, the effect of "flowing around" the contours of the human body is achieved, which improves the anatomical properties of the mattress.. Collection:
- (micro package 1200 springs per m 2) - (section for reconstruction)

One of the modern developments is "Duet" block- a block of double independent springs, where a small diameter spring is placed in a large diameter spring. This technology allows you to combine two properties - softness (at low load) and elasticity (with increasing load). Ideal for spouses with a large weight difference who will sleep equally comfortably.

Important Features spring mattresses is the number of turns of the spring. The more there are, the more comfortable and softer it is, accordingly. mattress. Continuous weaving blocks (Bonnell) consist of springs with 4-5 turns, independent blocks - of springs with 6-9 turns.

Mattress covers

Functionality, appearance and the ease of use of a sleeping mattress cover depend on several factors - the composition of the material from which it is made and the ability to remove and clean it.

Depending on the fabrics used, mattress covers can be made of cotton, synthetic or mixed. The best mattress covers are jacquard. Jacquard- strong and durable fabric - has a high density of thread weaving. There are also covers for mattresses made of satin, calico, and polyester. To make high-quality covers, jacquard or knitwear is usually used.

Polyester is a beautiful-looking fabric, the mattress cover made from it shines, for which mattress manufacturers nicknamed it “glass.” But such a cover does not “breathe” well, and the sheet slides over it.

A mattress cover made of 100% cotton fabric (calico, satin) is more pleasant to the touch than synthetic, but quickly loses its shape and wears out. The optimal ratio for a mattress cover is 70-80% cotton and 20-30% synthetics.

When making a cover, the fabric can be quilted with and. A quilted mattress with a jacquard cover will retain heat in the cold season and give a feeling of freshness in the summer. This is a soft textured fabric used in standard mattresses. Jacquard perfectly resists elevated temperatures and absorbs moisture well. In addition, mattress covers made of satin jacquard fabric look chic and feel pleasant to the touch.

In terms of functionality, mattress covers can be removable And non-removable. Removable covers are undoubtedly more practical and easier to clean. They are especially good for cribs and allow you to maintain the necessary hygiene regime for the child. But not all covers can be removed and washed. For example, jacquard mattress covers shrink significantly when washed. Therefore, they must be cared for by dry cleaning, which increases the cost of maintaining the mattress.

U fixed Mattress covers also have their advantages. For example, in their manufacture special equipment is used that ensures a tight fit of the cover to the mattress. The cover does not move off the surface of the mattress and does not twist. In addition, a non-removable cover holds the layers of the mattress more tightly, and this, in turn, increases its service life.

There is a way to combine the advantages of both options: you can order a mattress with a simple non-removable cover and separately purchase a removable cover of the appropriate size, or a mattress cover for it.

Our store offers you mattresses with covers made of cotton jacquard (cotton 70%, polyester 30%), quilted with spunbond and padding polyester.

For mattresses of the Optima series, the choice of cover material is even wider: in addition to cotton jacquard, you can choose knitwear with silver thread, impregnated with eucalyptus; or polycotton (70-80% cotton, 30-20% synthetic thread); or synthetic jacquard (polypropylene 65%, polyester 35%) - which will allow you to save a little (from 140 to 360 rubles depending on the size of the mattress).

Materials used in the production of mattresses

BATTING

Batting belongs to the category of non-woven materials. In the USSR, batting was a thin stitched layer of cotton wool, which was used mainly for insulating clothing. Now on the materials market one can distinguish needle-punched, canvas-stitched and thermally bonded types of batting.
The main difference is that with needle-punched batting (canvas), the bonding of the original wool blend, synthetic or cotton fiber occurs due to piercing with a dense package of punching needles.

And canvas-stitched or quilted (as it is often called) batting is bonded using cotton or polyester. thread that quilts the fabric along its entire length (in the form of a herringbone).
Thermally bonded batting (thermal batting) is a non-woven material, which is a thermally bonded fabric, produced by forming a canvas using a carding machine and a card converter. This layer passes through a thermal oven, where the fiber is easily fixed. The composition of thermal batting is similar to half-woolen batting with the addition of polyester fiber for bonding the layer in a thermal oven.
Needle-punched batting and thermal batting are used in the production of mattresses as cushioning (protects the soft layer from wear) and flooring material (used as a soft filler).

FELT

Felt is a non-woven material made from felted wool or from synthetic fibers. Needle-punched felt and thermally bonded felt (thermal felt) in the production of mattresses are used as cushioning (protects the soft layer from wear) and covering material (gives the mattress additional rigidity and elasticity).

COCONUT COIR

Coconut palm fiber is a filler of purely plant origin. Coconut coir is produced from coconut fibers, mainly in India and Sri Lanka.
The fibers, reaching 30 cm in length, protect the fruit and soften the impact when falling from a height of about 30 m, like elastic upholstery. Based on its natural purpose, coconut fiber is also very suitable as a filler for elastic orthopedic mattresses.
Preliminary processing Processing of coconut fiber involves separating the fibers from the nut and removing foreign substances from the resulting mass. The fiber is then aged in seawater, a process that can last up to 10 months. The fibers are then dried in the sun.
The final product is an elastic and strong plant fiber. Coconut coir slabs have high rigidity, but at the same time are quite flexible and elastic.
To obtain an elastic, deformation-resistant, breathable filler, coconut palm fibers are impregnated with natural latex. The ideal proportion of latex and coconut fiber is 50% to 50%. Coconut coir with this composition is elastic and durable. In Russia, more rigid boards are common, containing 70% coconut fiber and 30% latex.
Coconut coir is designed to give the mattress rigidity. In mattresses where medium hardness is required, coir is combined with elastic fillers.

LATEX

Two concepts are widely used in the industry: natural latex and artificial latex. These two materials are different in appearance and properties, due to their composition.

Natural latex- a material containing the sap of Hevea (a genus of evergreen trees of the Euphorbia family), in other words - natural rubber. The main source of natural rubber, Hevea brasiliensis, is cultivated in tropical countries.
Rubber in pure form It is afraid of contact with fat and ultraviolet radiation, which destroys it, so special stabilizing additives are used in the production of latex.

The production of natural latex used in the production of mattresses and the furniture industry has its own technological features:

• From a special container where the latex mixture is continuously mixed, it enters a special container and foams.
• The foam is poured into special molds and vulcanized at a temperature of 100°C.
• The resulting workpiece is removed from the mold.
• The finished block is sequentially cleaned of foam residues, dried at a temperature of 120°C, tested for hardness, weighed and packaged.

The maximum rubber content possible in this material is 85%; optimal for use in mattress production is from 45% to 65%; it is with this percentage of rubber that the resulting latex foam has the proper elasticity, resilience (thanks to natural rubber) and wear resistance (thanks to additives).

Properties of natural latex:

• High elasticity due to the content of natural rubber
• Excellent support and ergonomic properties
• Self-ventilation
• Wear resistance
• Hypoallergenic and hygienic
• "Silent" material (absolute absence of annoying noise during operation)

Latex artificial- commercial name for highly elastic. Compared to other brands of polyurethane foam, artificial latex has increased elasticity. The creation of this filler is one of the most successful attempts to bring the properties of a synthetic material closer to the properties of a material with natural ingredients. Artificial latex has good recovery ability and is more wear-resistant than other types of polyurethane foams. The main and, perhaps, the only advantage of artificial latex over natural latex is its lower price.

Artificial and natural latex is used in spring mattresses as a highly elastic filler that gives the mattress elasticity; in the form of a monolithic block is used in springless mattresses. In the latter case, these are highly elastic mattresses with good ergonomic qualities.

MEMORIFORM

Hypoallergenic memoryform has no analogues among materials used in the furniture industry. The cells of this material have open form and are microscopic “springs” that compress under the influence of load and body heat.

Its peculiarity is its ability to “remember” the shape of the body: such a mattress adapts to the contours of the person lying on it and, having “remembered” his silhouette, does not exert reciprocal pressure on him. As a result, a weightless effect appears and a feeling of complete comfort is born. This material is characterized by high strength and reliability, which will allow you to use the mattress for a fairly long period.

On a mattress made of such material you can sleep all night without ever turning over, and there will be no problems with blood vessels, because nothing compresses them.

POLYURETHANE FOAM

In fact, polyurethane foam(PUF) is a mass-produced engineering plastic that can be used for a variety of purposes. Produced by foaming polyesters and polyesters.
Block elastic PU foam is often used in the manufacture of mattresses. The reason is the high breathability, excellent moisture and heat exchange, and low weight of this material. However, it should be remembered that the density of the polyurethane foam used in the manufacture of the mattress must be at least 30-35 kg/cub.m. This is necessary so that the polyurethane foam cells do not deform and moisture and air exchange inside the product are not disrupted.

The disadvantage of block polyurethane foam (especially with a density less than 30 kg/cubic meter), which should be remembered, is that the material may lose its original properties when recovering from excessive compression, as well as the property of gradually deteriorating under the influence of moisture and heat generated by the human body .

In the mattresses offered on our website, polyurethane foam is used to form a box around the perimeter (along the side) of the product. And for flooring, more suitable materials are used, for example latex, struttofiber, holofiber, memoryform.

SINTEPON

- high-quality non-woven filler of the traditional production method for upholstered furniture, mattresses, bedding, quilting, sewing and decorative products of the new generation.

The production technology includes classic method formation of non-woven fabric of the Sintepon type using modern technological capabilities, expressed in the use of additional technological equipment that creates a unique structure of the fabric, having a larger volume at a lower density, as well as better tensile characteristics.

Sintepon is made from polyester fibers. Bonding of fibers to each other is carried out thermally. Polyester fiber with a low-melting coating is used as a binding material.

SPUNBOND

Polypropylene non-woven thermally bonded material (fabric) "SPUNBOND" has a wide range of applications as a replacement for more expensive materials.
Composition: 100% polypropylene.
Manufacturing method: thermal joining of fibers.

Due to special additives, the properties of the material can be different: hydrophilic, hydrophobic, antistatic, antibacterial and others.
The density of spunbond used for the furniture industry is 15-100 g/sq.m.

Spunbond has found wide application in the furniture industry. Spunbond is a facing non-woven fabric designed to replace materials traditionally used in the furniture industry such as calico, itcal, burlap, butt, interlining, etc.

Strength, durability, ease of cutting and other qualities of this material allow it to be used for cladding, interior panels And back side upholstered furniture, as a separating layer between wallpaper fabric, padding and forming material, for strengthening seams, covering springs, mattresses, etc.

When making furniture with removable covers that can be washed or dry cleaned, non-woven material "Spunbond" is simply irreplaceable (for internal lining pillows and mattresses).

STRUTTOFIBER

Struttofiber™ (is a registered trademark) – “non-woven independent springs”. The name Struttofiber consists of the words "Strutto", meaning vertical fiber laying technology, and "Fiber", from English word fiber, which actually means laying fibers using Strutto technology.

Struttofiber is one of the best orthopedic materials for the production of modern and comfortable mattresses, as well as a unique and inimitable filler for modern upholstered furniture with increased requirements for comfort.
The uniqueness of the Struttofiber technology lies in the vertical laying of fibers, which gives the Struttofiber non-woven material improved volume recovery compared to other mattress covering materials. Struttofiber is produced on the basis of various synthetic and natural fibers in the density range from 750 to 2500 g/sq.m., and has good recovery after repeated compression.

Struttofiber is made from polyester fibers. Bonding of fibers to each other is carried out thermally. Polyester fiber with a low-melting coating is used as a binding material. In the production of some types of Struttofiber, additional fibers are introduced into the composition: cotton, wool, camel's wool, goat hair, etc.

Struttofiber is a homogeneous fabric consisting of three layers: two reinforcing and one load-bearing. The load-bearing layer is located between two reinforcing layers. Fibers forming load-bearing layer, located vertically relative to the reinforcing layers. The figure below shows the “mechanism” of compression resistance of the Struttofiber flooring material. As you can see, the Struttofiber structure resists compression, reminiscent of the work of many independent springs.

Orthopedic flooring material Struttofiber is ideal for use in the production of mattresses. It provides sufficient elasticity to maintain the original shape of the mattress. The use of Struttofiber gives the mattresses orthopedic properties, and good heat exchange and air circulation creates comfort.

"Holofiber ®" is 100% polyester, which is a hollow fiber. All voluminous Holofiber ® canvases are manufactured by thermal bonding and processing of the canvas for a certain time under pressure at high temperatures. These technologies favorably distinguish Holofiber ® from other materials, for the fastening of which short-lived and toxic PVA glue, acrylic, etc. are often used.

Thermally bonded canvases can have different densities from 60 to 4000 g/m2, with a maximum width of up to 3.6 m and the ability to vary height.

The same material with the same density can be made different in thickness, as well as denser, lighter, softer, thinner, more elastic, etc.

Finished fabrics can be calendered - bake the top and/or bottom layers in order to prevent migration of fibers through the fabric, which avoids the need to use additional materials (non-woven fabric, padding polyester, etc.) or create a multi-layer cushioning material using a binder (glue, acrylic etc.) before quilting.

Holofiber® nonwoven fabrics have such high consumer properties as:
- environmental friendliness;
- non-allergic;
- absolute rot resistance;
- lack of moisture absorption;
- odor resistance;
- non-flammable;
- breathability;
- stable forms;
- convenience and ease of washing.

Thus, Holofiber® fabrics are able to satisfy any requirements of designers, constructors, and consumers.

« Holofiber ®-Hard» - rigid non-woven fabric. Effective when used in heavily loaded elements of upholstered furniture, car interiors, etc. It is an environmentally friendly substitute for toxic and short-lived foam rubber in the manufacture of upholstered furniture, orthopedic mattresses, etc.

In fact, mattresses and cushioned furniture can consist only of “Holofiber” non-woven fillers of different hardness, height and density. Without foam rubber, without coconut, without cotton wool, without felt, without padding polyester! "Holofiber" has become an alternative to all these fillers and floorings. However, any type of “Holofiber” goes well with each of the listed materials.
