Today, the most widespread and popular mattresses are orthopedic models with various fillings. They help to properly hold the human spine during rest or sleep, which further relieves problems and diseases of the musculoskeletal system.

Peculiarities

Before purchasing such a product, you need to decide on the type of mattress and its filler. They are spring and springless. Fillers include coconut coir or add a latex blend to it to reduce stiffness. Natural, artificial or combined materials are used for filling.

If an orthopedic mattress consists only of natural fillers, then its service life is greatly reduced.

To select the perfect product, you need to consider its properties and durability.

Materials and manufacturing process

Soft natural filler - latex is used in spring or springless mattresses. It has good elasticity, elasticity, hypoallergenic, and is able to withstand heavy loads. Coconut coir gives rigidity to the product and has high strength characteristics; it is able to withstand a constant heavy load; does not rot and does not absorb moisture.

Natural coconut filler is made from nuts freshly picked in the southern latitudes. For 10 months, coconuts are soaked in water to easily remove the shell and separate the fibers. Only the best coconut coir is selected from the total mass and dried for a long time. For filling orthopedic mattresses, short and strongly loosened fibers are used.

Coconut fiber processing methods for orthopedic mattresses:

  • The preparatory stage is impregnation of natural raw materials with a latex mixture. When coconut and latex are combined, a monolithic plate is formed, which is not subject to crumbling. To obtain a stiffer product, it is necessary to increase the percentage of coir depending on the latex, with a ratio of 70/30. Due to this, the elastic and strength properties are increased, and the mattress service life is also significantly increased. This method has a big drawback - the cost of the product is greatly increased.
  • Pressing coconut filler and punching it with special needles... The manufacturing process itself is cheaper, but the product is short-lived.

An orthopedic mattress with walnut fiber filling is thinner than other products and has many advantages:

  • Natural, environmentally friendly and safe for human health.
  • Does not provoke allergic reactions.
  • Possesses increased moisture resistant properties.
  • Does not absorb foreign odors.
  • Well ventilated and heat conductive.
  • Does not rot.
  • Has a long operational period.

There are also disadvantages of orthopedic products made from coconut coir:

  • Overpriced.
  • The smell of rubber for a short time after purchase.
  • The pressed coir has a short service life and begins to crumble under constant heavy loads.

How to choose the right one?

To choose the perfect natural orthopedic mattress, you need to take into account the main parameters and characteristics of the product, as well as the operating environment:

  • Coconut mattress most convenient and does not cause discomfort... The body assumes a natural position that corresponds to the anatomical features of the person.The muscles are in a relaxed state, and in the future there will be no spinal diseases.
  • Coconut filler, no latex blend very hard. It is used in both spring and springless orthopedic products. The amount of coir depends on the firmness of the mattress, however, you should not choose a model with a high percentage of coconut chips, because they have a high coefficient of hardness. The best option would be to get a latex model.

Older people are more susceptible to pressure on the soft tissues of the body and body, therefore, orthopedic mattresses with coconut fiber as a filler are not suitable for them.

  • There are a large number of varieties of orthopedic products and in order to choose the right one, it is necessary to rely on the weight category of the person. For people weighing up to 60 kilograms, mattresses with a block of independent springs and filler with coconut coir and latex are suitable. A heavier person weighing up to 90 kilograms is recommended a product with springs that occupy half of its area and layers of coconut and latex chips. It can be replaced by springless orthopedic models with the same layers of latex and coir. For people weighing 120 kilograms, models with springs are suitable, but the layer of coconut coir should be larger to increase the rigidity of the product.

A coconut orthopedic mattress without springs is ideal for babies. The child's spine is even, and the rigid product does not allow him to bend. The main thing is that all materials are natural and have quality certificates.

Care

All tips for the care and storage of a natural product are spelled out in a technical document. There are a few key points to keep in mind:

  • Don't let children jump on the bed.
  • The model is thin and should not be rolled or folded.
  • Store only in a horizontal position.

Subject to the rules of operation and correctly selected model, the orthopedic product will serve for a long time.
