A good rest is, of course, a dream. It allows you to recuperate so that later a person can have a productive day. A high-quality and correctly chosen mattress will not only provide an opportunity to get such rest, but will also take care of the health of the spine, as well as improve overall well-being. Modern mattresses are complex engineering designs. Entire laboratories of qualified specialists develop models that later go on sale. In this article, we will consider the question of how to choose the right product, and what you should first look for when buying.
How to choose a mattress for a double bed
- Varieties. There are four main types on the market: with a dependent spring block - the most budgetary, but least popular option. Does not distribute body weight evenly, and also makes any movement felt. If someone sits on the neighboring edge, then the wave by inertia will reach, shaking the one who is already lying on the mattress; with an independent spring block - unlike the previous one, the most popular choice among buyers. Here, each spring is placed in a separate fabric cover and works autonomously, independently of the others. Such an orthopedic design correctly distributes body weight, and any movements of the second person will not disturb the sleeping person; springless also belong to orthopedic. They consist of several layers of differing density. Usually it is latex, polyurethane foam, struttofiber, coconut fiber, synthetic winterizer, horsehair, etc. Most often, these mattresses are recommended for people with a lot of weight, although they are suitable for any physique, including a thin one; combined ones consist of a block of independent springs and interlayers of other materials. This allows you to adjust the degree of rigidity of the product.
- Rigidity. Correct rigidity ensures the natural position of the spine. For people weighing up to 55 kg, soft models should be chosen, those who weigh from 55 to 90 kg are suitable for medium hardness, and people over 90 kg should buy products of increased hardness.
- Mattress size. The optimal dimensions are considered to be 160 cm wide. For small rooms, you can choose a 140 cm mattress to save space. But the most comfortable sizes will be 180 and 200 cm. The length of the product cannot be less than 190-200 cm, as this is the standard.
- External cladding. The appearance of the mattress and the durability of its service depend on this parameter. Choose items with a thick layer of fabric. The best are jacquard and dense coarse calico, as well as high-quality synthetic counterparts.

Criteria for choosing a mattress for a bed
To choose the right mattress, it is necessary to take into account such parameters as rigidity, features of the filler and dimensions.
When choosing a product, you should decide on the following criteria:
- The degree of rigidity is adjusted to individual needs. Manufacturers offer mattresses with different hardness: standard, soft or reinforced.
- It is important to measure the inside dimensions of the bed. It is better if the mattress is slightly smaller, then it will easily fit into the base. The length of the mattress should be at least 20 cm longer than the height.
- Fillers for mattresses. There are spring and springless options.

Elderly people are not recommended to sleep on too hard ground, as this can provoke poor circulation and pain in the spine. For lower back pain, it is better to choose softer options, and if there are problems in the upper back, then the choice should be stopped on hard products. Children's mattresses must be strong, as children will definitely play and jump on the bed.

Mattress size selection rules
Before going to the store, you should measure the dimensions of the bed. If you buy a new mattress to replace the old one, then measurements can be made on the old mattress.
If the dimensions are slightly different from the standard ones, then an error of up to 1 cm does not matter. But if the difference is greater, then the product must be purchased according to an individual order.
The following recommendations will help you choose the right sizes:
- Better to purchase a bed and mattress from the same manufacturer.
- The mattress can be ordered according to your individual dimensions.
Types of bed mattresses
Before buying, you need to know: what are the mattresses for the bed. There are only two main types - spring and springless products. It is important to understand how they differ and what characteristics they have.
Types of mattresses with spring filling
Spring types of bed mattresses are equipped with metal spirals of various degrees of elasticity. Products can be either with dependent spring block or with an independent one.
Most often, such structures contain the following components:
- mattress topper or cover;
- rigid interlayer or volumetric flooring;
- spring block of dependent or independent type.
In order for orthopedic mattresses to have the necessary rigidity, and to cover the spring layer, all kinds of fillers are used.
Here are the main types of fillers for spring products:
- The latex version is hygienic. Latex is obtained from the sap of the rubber tree. With the help of a special technology, the material acquires a porous structure, which provides elasticity, moisture resistance of the product, as well as excellent self-ventilation. Thanks to these qualities, the mattress perfectly follows the contours of the body.
- Natural wool is used as a filler, which is not subjected to additional processing. The woolen cloth is most often located on one side of the mattress.
- Coconut coir is durable, hypoallergenic and environmentally friendly. In orthopedic products, it is used in the form of a latex slab or canvas. The latter option is considered to be softer.
- Felt is an environmentally friendly filler. Made from felted wool and synthetic fibers. Gives durability to the product.
- Spunbond is a polypropylene synthetic fiber. Remarkably repels moisture and is characterized by high performance properties.
Dependent spring block mattresses
Bonnel-type mattresses with a dependent spring block consist of springs connected to each other. The dependent block is a net of intertwined springs connected by a rigid frame. In this case, the product has the same rigidity throughout the web. There are about 100-150 large spirals per square meter of such a canvas.
Design advantages:
- Ease of manufacture.
- Low cost.
- Withstands significant loads.
This type of mattress cannot be called durable, since the springs quickly deform, and a creak appears.
Mattresses for beds with an independent spring block
Under the upholstery of a product with an independent spring unit, there is a large number of springs that are not connected to each other. Such mattresses can have different hardness, as well as several different hardness zones. For example, a hard area in the shoulder girdle and softer in the lumbar area.
The independent block design provides excellent spine support. For greater comfort, there should be at least 256 springs per square meter.
For good products, this number reaches 512. And elite models can contain up to 2000 miniature springs.
The advantages of products with an independent block include:
- Health benefits, since such structures have the necessary orthopedic effect, which allows you to keep the spine in the correct position, and also relieves back fatigue.
- Silence of models. Each spring is placed in a special bag, which protects the elements from friction.
There are also certain disadvantages:
- Quality products are very expensive.
- It is better not to jump on such mattresses, as they are sensitive to such loads.
In order for the mattress to serve for a long time, it must be turned over up to 4 times a year. This approach will prevent deformation of the product.
Springless mattresses for beds
Mattresses without springs are characterized by a simple structure. Such designs consist of a latex layer, a coconut bark layer and a sheath. Products differ in the type of filler. Models made from natural materials are of higher quality.
These mattresses can also be quite firm. Mixed fibers of different lengths are used for the splendor of the design.
Springless models do not have metal parts. They are made from a single monoblock or from several types of materials, which are stacked in sections or layers.
Such designs have the following advantages:
- Comfort.
- Full body support over the entire surface.
- Low allergenicity. Withstands weight up to 140 kg.
- They are quiet, durable and do not accumulate static electricity.
Some disadvantages are also worth noting:
- Small degree of elasticity.
- High price.
- Deformations may occur from the shape of the body.
Springless mattresses can be made with the following fillers:
- Latex products are characterized by remarkable elasticity and perfectly follow the contours of the human body.
- From polyurethane foam, artificial latex and foam rubber, rigid products are produced that are well ventilated and can withstand increased loads.
- Coconut constructions are a suitable solution for back pain. They are often chosen for young children.
- Coconut-latex models are characterized by optimal rigidity and elasticity. But they are not designed for heavy loads.
Wear-resistant fabric covers are used as mattress toppers. Above all, they have to withstand everyday stress, weight and friction. Wool, linen and cotton are often used to make covers. Reversible covers are also popular and can be used at any time of the year.
Bonnel structures are suitable for temporary use. They can be used for guests or as an option for a summer residence. For problems with the spine, springless models or with an independent block are more suitable.
Rules for choosing the firmness of the mattress
It is not so easy to choose a mattress according to the level of firmness. In this case, it is necessary to take into account not only your preferences, but also the characteristics of the organism. There are different degrees of hardness: low, below average, average, above average and high. This indicator depends on the quality and characteristics of the fillers. The softest stuffing includes foam rubber and cotton wool. But these options do not provide the necessary support for the spine. The soft base contributes to the curvature of the spine. Orthopedic constructions are made of latex, polyurethane foam, struttofiber and other materials. The level of rigidity depends on the presence of additional components in the material structure.
For soft orthopedic products, natural latex is used, which has a low level of rigidity.
According to the degree of hardness, mattresses are of the following types:
- Soft models easily adapt to the curves of the body, and also exert minimal pressure on tissues, without hindering the work of the circulatory system. This option is suitable for people over 50 years old, as well as for buyers with low weight. It is also recommended for pregnant women and people with back pain.
- Moderate-soft options are suitable for people of middle age and normal physique. They are made from latex with spring blocks and thin layers of coconut coir.
- Mattresses with medium firmness fix the vertebrae well in the desired position and relax the muscles. Such options can be both spring and springless.
- Rigid products are designed for high loads. These models are recommended for children and adolescents as they help to shape the correct curvature of the spine. Sleeping on such a bed is good for people with poor posture, neck pain and herniated discs. The constructions are made of blocks of independent springs, and with layers of coconut coir.
- Very rigid products are recommended for heavy weights and for problems in the upper spine.
A mattress is a durable item that is purchased for years to come. Therefore, it is so important to choose the best option in terms of rigidity, materials and elasticity.
