A healthy and strong dream is an important component of the life of any person. And in order for your dream to be really full, you need to take care so that not only your bed is convenient, but also pay attention to bedding and, of course, a mattress. Modern latex mattresses are one of the best offers at the moment.
Possibilities of choosing and dignity
If you think about buying a latex mattress, evaluate available models according to various criteria. Firstly, material. The mattress can be made of both natural and artificial (synthetic) latex. The basis of natural latex is the material that is obtained from rubber wood juice. It is completely environmentally friendly and safe for your health. A synthetic mattress is mainly orthopedic foam. In terms of properties, it is as much as possible with rubber, but still not to the end. Therefore, if there is such an opportunity, choose natural mattresses. There are also mattresses from combined material, which will also be a good option.
Among all the advantages, we highlight the following:
- The modern orthopedic latex mattress greatly reduces the load on the back, prevents joint diseases, prevents the appearance of pain and discomfort in the back. Latex is a very elastic material. He is able to easily take your body, providing greater convenience and comfort during sleep. This reduces the load on the muscles, joints and spine, hips and shoulders. In addition, the mattress seems to flow your body and supports the correct posture.
- Latex as a material is famous for its durability and wear resistance. Please note that in most cases synthetic latex wear out faster. But natural mattresses can last you for more than ten to fifteen years. And with unstable operation, even longer. Based on the requirements of durability, we still recommend natural materials.
- The smell from such a mattress is either completely absent, or it is almost invisible. But cheap latex can radiate an unpleasant odor for a long time after the purchase. At the same time, your clothes, bedding and even the room itself will be saturated with them. Therefore, we will immediately give advice - not to save. Especially if you are sensitive to smells. Again, natural latex wins in this regard. If it radiates the smell, then this is rather a pleasant aroma of ghee. But about 20 percent of the owners of synthetic mattresses complain that there is an unpleasant production smell, and it is quite difficult to remove it.
- Latex mattresses provide good insulation of movements. If you are not alone in bed, then you probably often wake up from the fact that the lying nearby is turning on the other side, gets out of bed or lays down. On the latex mattress, you simply will not feel it. In this regard, latex leaves far behind water, air and any spring mattresses. Movements from one side to the other are practically not transmitted. You can even conduct a test: put a glass of water on one edge of the mattress, and jump on the other. If the mattress is high -quality, then the glass will not overturn. In addition, latex is one of the most silent materials in the home textile market. You just won’t hear any creak of springs and other noise at night.
- The latex mattress is 100% environmentally friendly. Such mattresses are certified by the OEKO-TEX system, which indicates the complete absence of any toxins. Another big plus is hypoallergenicity and protection from dust mites. For allergies, this is really one of the most important criteria. In addition, the material is resistant to fungi, mold or bacteria. The problem of other types of mattresses is that they can only be initially safe, but over time they are no longer such, and you may not even know about it.
- The last but no less important point is the lack of damage to the environment. Natural rubber juice is collected on specially created plantations, and the trees themselves are not cut off, but they make small sections, after which the tree continues to grow fully further. The chemical components used in production are environmentally friendly and safe for health.
Thanks to the above properties, reviews about latex mattresses in the vast majority are positive, and those who use them for a long time note improved sleep and improve health.
How to buy a latex mattress?
We bring to your attention six key points that will help in choosing:
- Non -free latex mattresses made of natural materials are always the best choice. In addition to health safety, it also has a large indicator of elasticity, which means that it is more convenient for sleeping.
- Choose a mattress without a particularly elaborate design. This will protect you from the possible problems of moving the contents of the mattress or displacing layers. If you see that the mattress has a large number of zones or its design “cut” is also better to refrain from buying.
- The cover for your mattress should "breathe". Therefore, you need to choose natural materials - cotton or wool. The cover itself should be relatively thin so that your body feels latex, and not covering the cover. You have not paid for him in vain.
- Do not buy mattresses of unknown manufacturers. Choose those that you know and received good reviews from other customers. Other people's comments and tips can really help in the right choice. But don't be too gullible. Marketers today go to a variety of tricks. Including the bribery of commentators and visitors to the thematic forums. Remember also that high -quality latex mattress cannot be cheap. But if you have already decided to take it, then do not look for where cheaper.
- Before buying, ask the seller about the guarantee. As said, latex mattresses are very durable, so conscientious manufacturers and sellers calmly give a guarantee for 10 or more years with the possibility of replacing the goods for another for several years. And the seller, for whom his reputation and good reviews are really important, will replace your mattress with a new one if it does not correspond to the declared quality.
- If you choose a mattress, then take care of buying a latex pillow. In their properties, they are quite similar, and in the kit will provide you with a strong and calm sleep every night.
Today, high -quality latex mattress can be found both in specialized stores and large supermarkets. For example, you can easily find and buy an Ikea latex mattress. The most important thing is to be guided by the above tips and requirements.
On the issue of choice, one must also forget about the degree of stiffness. No wonder sellers give you the opportunity to sit on the couch right in the store or lie down on the mattress. The fact is that every person for a comfortable sleep needs a mattress of certain rigidity. And the matter here is not only in habit, but also in the characteristics of the body and the body as a whole. Frequent cases when doctors recommend sleeping exclusively on hard mattresses. Sometimes even without a pillow. And this is a standard practice. If you have such a doctor’s recommendation, choose a hard latex mattress. If not, then the best option is the average stiffness. As a rule, fans of soft mattresses are less and the demand for them is significantly lower.
It is especially important to choose the best latex mattress for your child. If adults get the curvature of the spine is almost impossible, then for the young organism this is a serious threat. It is very important that the child’s spine is not twisted during sleep and does not deform. He already has enough loads during the day at the desk, at the desktop and in front of the computer.
A few more tips
We have already mentioned a mandatory guarantee for mattresses. But the problem is that if the product corresponds to the declared quality, you may not change it if it simply seems inconvenient for you. Therefore, you need to clarify the sellers whether it is possible to get a mattress for trial use. In many modern stores, this opportunity is provided without problems. And the trial period should be two to three months so that you understand exactly that the mattress suits you.
The price of latex mattresses is far from the last factor affecting the choice. Remember, a mattress made of natural rubber juice will always cost more than from synthetic components. Therefore, if you see a suspiciously low price, it is better not to risk taking such a product. Also, not only the material itself, but also the manufacturing method can affect the cost. There are two main ones at the moment: the Danlop method and the Talalai method. The first is older and time -tested. Latex made according to this method is usually more rigid and denser. The Talalai method mainly repeats it, but includes a fast cooling stage immediately before heating for thickening. The main advantage is to reduce the number of bubbles in the future latex, which means the best strength.
Perhaps the seller will not know which of the methods a particular mattress is made, but this can be understood even by cost. The Dunlop method is not so expensive, therefore, the final product is cheaper. This is not to say that the difference is very noticeable, but it still is.
In addition, you can combine mattresses. As a core, you will have a strong mattress made using DanPol technology, and the upper layer is a more convenient mattress according to the Talalai method. This design, of course, will cost more, but the quality of sleep will provide the best.
