Winter-summer mattresses

Good sleep is an integral part of human life, so many people prefer comfort, even if they have to pay a little more for it. Sleeping on the right mattress is the best way to relax. The modern market provides a wide variety of sleeping accommodations as well as additions to it. One of these additions is considered to be a double-sided mattress, which is one of the most practical purchases. In this article, we will consider what a double-sided mattress is, its features and filling, well-known brands, as well as methods of care.

The reversible mattress is different from the classic one. The difference lies in the fact that double-sided products have two surfaces, which are also called "winter-summer", the fillings of which are completely different in filling, as well as in the material of manufacture.

The very base of the mattresses is either a spring block (with or without independent springs) or a springless block.

Further, on the one hand, materials are chosen that are inherent in the winter period, and on the other, those that are suitable for the summer period. A cover is always put on top of the mattress. Usually it is a cotton or linen stitch for summer and cotton and wool for winter.

Materials commonly used for filling:

1. frame with independent or dependent springs;

2. felt;

3. polyurethane foam;

4. 100% or natural latex;

5. synthetic winterizer.

For children's models, monolithic mats made of coconut coir or latex are most often used.

For the winter side, wool is usually used over coir and latex and has no other analog or man-made options. The main advantages are that wool stays warm for a long time and heats up quickly. Due to the fleecy surface, it allows air to pass through, so the skin will not sweat too much. Wool absorbs moisture well.

For the summer side, it is necessary to use materials that, on the contrary, will retain heat worse. Cotton or linen do this very well, because this fabric:

1. good air permeability;

2. does not accumulate static electricity;

3. absorbs moisture, while the surface of the mattress dries quickly;

4. there is a slight cooling effect.

The reasons why double-sided mattresses have become so popular is that a person sweats more in warm weather, and in winter, on the contrary, he often gets cold.

Today there are many brands that make sleeping mattresses. Reversible mattresses are not uncommon these days, but there are still a number of companies that are considered the best in this business.

The British company Sleepeezee presents products with an independent spring block. The line has mattresses of various heights, 25-37 cm.

Lonax, Sembella, Ascona use a simple system: cotton on one side and wool on the other.

For children it is worth looking at mattresses of the Sandman series by Toris.

The German-Russian brand "Rollmatratz" presents models in which it uses materials such as cotton and holofiber, and for winter - wool with padding polyester.

At Primavera, in addition to using natural ingredients in the mattress itself, they also use covers that are divided into summer and winter. The base of the product is made of puralatex, which identically repeats the entire anatomy of a sleeping person.

The Italian brand Bedding Industries offers the Biosan line, which is made from natural latex. It has 7 zones of distribution of loads, which means that you can choose your own filling for each part of the body.

And the most popular brand is Magniflex. The company is Italian. For mattresses, they use pure cotton and merino wool, which goes through several stages of processing. The main features are that the company ensures that all mattresses are protected from fungal mildew, dust mites. Has high orthopedic performance.

Many people wonder where which side is located. Even if we take into account the fact that the winter side is made of wool, and the summer side is made of cotton, it is very difficult to understand this under the upper upholstery layer and cover.

Of course, you can look at the instructions every time, but manufacturers understand that many will not do this. And they made it easier to understand where which side is.

Under the cover, usually where the zipper begins, on the mattress itself, manufacturers leave markings. It can be:

• snowflake pattern - for the winter side, the sun - for the summer;

• highlighting a small area with color - blue and pink;

• embroidery of the letters "Z" and "L".

And also many people note that the winter side of the mattress is softer, but the summer side is tougher.

1. After purchase, the mattress should be vacuumed and ventilated. The cover should be machine washed with a minimum amount of powder.

2. Cleaning should be carried out in warm weather, but the mattress should be dried every two weeks or at least once a month.

3. Wet cleaning should not be applied to the mattress, only dry cleaning, namely: with a powerful vacuum cleaner, approximately once every 2 weeks.

4. Do not place near heating systems.

5. Every 4-6 months it is necessary to turn the mattress, changing the positions of the head - legs, so that dents do not appear. This is especially true for dependent spring units.

6. Any stains that appear should be washed fresh. Wipe gently with a minimum amount of powder only where the stain is. Do not take more areolas.

7. Once a year, the mattress should be given for a professional cleaning, or call the master at home. Do not wash yourself, you can unknowingly render the mattress unusable.
