How to choose a mattress for a double bed: a guide to models and manufacturers

Mattresses for round double beds are selected according to diameter. To prevent partners from interfering with each other, choose products that are at least 230 cm in diameter.

The maximum weight load on the mattress indicated in the passport is based on one sleeping place. Since people sleep together, it is recommended to multiply the passport value by two, but this approach is only justified if the inhabitants of the apartment are of approximately the same build. If there is a significant difference in the weight of a man and a woman (from 30 kg or more), special design solutions are required.

Which mattress is best for a double bed: 5 principles for choosing

The main task is to make a successful purchase. In appearance, the mattresses may be the same, but the properties and operating features of different copies differ. When choosing, it is important to do the following:

• Decide on the type and design of the product.
• Choose the right size.
• Choose upholstery and filling.
• Assess hardness indicators.
• Explore the best manufacturers.

If you are going to make a purchase online, be sure to read the annotations for each product. Compare different models and rely on the price-quality ratio.

Stiffness characteristics

Mattresses, regardless of size, can have different hardness levels. If there are no serious health problems, the choice can be made based solely on personal preferences. If you have any diseases of the spine or joints, you should consult your doctor before purchasing the product.

There are three levels of product rigidity:

1. High. Suitable for people under 50 years of age whose weight exceeds 90 kg. They are also indicated for sleep for those who have problems with the spine, and for those whose activities involve heavy physical exertion. The advantage is that the high firmness level is suitable for young children who often like to sleep next to their parents.
2. Average. The most common and, one might say, universal option. Such models are intended for people under 50–55 years old with a weight of 55–90 kg.
3. Short. Mattresses that are particularly soft are best chosen by people without any pathologies in the back and neck area. Such models have strict weight restrictions - up to 60 kg. Designed for elderly couples and those who do not lead a very active lifestyle.

The elasticity of a mattress is largely determined by the filler. In springless products, this parameter plays a decisive role. Coconut coir or other natural materials have a high level of rigidity, while polyurethane foam is softer. This parameter can also be adjusted by the thickness of the filler itself.

Sizes of mattresses for a double bed

Size is an important indicator when choosing. To determine the parameters, you need to measure the bed around the perimeter, after removing the old mattress.

Length

Ideally, the length of the mattress should be at least 10-15 cm greater than the height of the person for whom the product is selected. However, this indicator must be observed even at the stage of choosing a bed, because it is its size that must be taken into account when purchasing.

The standard size of a mattress for a double bed is 190-200 cm. But there are people for whom these parameters are not enough. In this case, you can place an order for the production of products according to individual measurements.

Width

The second question is how to buy the right mattress for a double bed and not make a mistake with the width. It's simple - the parameters of the product must correspond to the size of the bed. Practice shows that a measurement error of 1-2 cm leads to discomfort during sleep. Therefore, it is worth studying the available range of models in advance.

Thickness

This parameter depends on the type of mattress and type of filler. The average thickness of springless products is 1-5-18 cm, spring - 18-24 cm.

It is also worth taking into account the height of the bed. It should be comfortable for you to lie down on a bed and also easy to get up from it. Often buyers make the mistake and experience difficulties by choosing a mattress that is too thick. This is especially true for young children - the child should be comfortable using the bed independently.

Load

Maximum load parameters can be found in the accompanying documentation. If this information is not available, it is better to check with the seller. The service life of the product and its performance characteristics depend on the load indicator.

The parameters depend on the type of mattress. If the surface is exposed to too much weight for the selected model, dents will form on the product. The maximum standard load is 200 kg.

The best manufacturers of double mattresses - which company to choose

If you need a mattress urgently, but don’t want to understand the nuances, just read our review of the best models.

You should pay attention to the following manufacturers of mattresses for double beds:

• Sleep&Fly
• Ascona
• Strong
• Dreamline
• Consul

However, the famous name of the manufacturer is not the only selection criterion. After all, a double mattress requires good support for two people at once. And each of the sleepers may have their own ideas about a comfortable bed. So it’s worth studying the recommendations of experts before you go shopping.

How to choose the firmness of a mattress for a double bed

Stiffness is the ability of a product to support a vacationer’s spine in an optimal position. The choice of parameter depends on the age, health and build of the person for whom the model is intended.

Main varieties:

1. Hard mattresses. Optimal for people with heavy weight. The main requirement for products is the ability to withstand significant daily loads. Typically, such models are equipped with reinforced spring blocks or fillers that hold their shape well.
2. Medium-hard mattresses. A universal option designed for adults and children. Suitable for people of average build. Models can be equipped with both springs and various fillers.
3. Soft mattresses. Such products are not suitable for everyone. They are ideal for older people and people with lumbar problems. Also, the products are intended for men and women with low weight.

Hardness parameters for choosing mattresses

How to avoid mistakes when choosing?

1. Do not buy a mattress where the maximum load is less than the weight of the heavier partner.
2. Consider your typical seasonal weight fluctuations. If you gain 3-5 kg ​​every winter, choose a model with a load capacity of +15 kg of your maximum weight.
3. Determine whether your preferences in the firmness and height of the berth coincide.
4. Accurately assess the difference in weight categories. One of the main parameters is rigidity. Its perception depends on weight. For people weighing up to 50 kg, moderately soft products are suitable. For adults whose weight is 50-90 kg, medium-hard models will be comfortable. Heavier people need firm or moderate-firm options. Heavy people will find it uncomfortable to sleep on a soft surface, since the body will constantly “sink”, the muscles and spine will be constantly tense without support. This is fraught with swelling of the limbs and even convulsions. A light partner will experience discomfort on hard surfaces and a lack of support for the knee and lower back areas.

What firmness to choose a mattress for a double bed if people have different wishes

Imagine the situation - you are choosing a mattress on which you will sleep together. What if there is a difference of opinion about toughness? In this case, there are three solutions:

• Each of the couple can choose a single mattress. The main thing is that the products match in length and width, because you will have to join them on the bed. One inconvenience is that a gap forms between the surfaces. But the problem can be easily eliminated with the help of a thick mattress cover.
• Another option is to buy a mattress with different degrees of hardness on the sides. This effect is achieved due to the design features of spring blocks or other plastic fillers. Many people think that such models have an uneven surface, but this is not the case. Externally, the products are no different from copies with the same parameters.
• The third way to overcome the differences is to choose products with a Dual Spring unit. There is a clever design inside the mattress. Each unit of the system consists of two springs of different diameters. If the sleeping place is occupied by a person with low weight, only the external element will work. When someone heavier lies on the surface, the internal spring is also activated.

Important! If your spine is healthy, avoid a surface that is too soft - it will make you uncomfortable while sleeping. An overly hard mattress will also not be beneficial if there is no indication for its purchase. Most often, medium-hard ones are chosen, which provide comfort and relaxation.

Which models are suitable for couples with a large weight difference?

• With a DS spring block, or in other words, “a spring in a spring.” Larger external springs work with a small load on the mattress, and internal ones with increased pressure on the product;
• Models with variable stiffness, in which two parts of the mattress are made of springs of different densities;
• Mattresses with pocket springs and asymmetric or zonal filling.

Age, level of physical activity and their influence on choice

Age is far from the main criterion when choosing a mattress. However, there are still some nuances:

• With age, irreversible changes occur in the human body, which also affect the musculoskeletal system. Therefore, experts recommend that people over 40 years old choose mattresses with a lower degree of hardness.
• Children under 3 years old should sleep only on hard surfaces, since children's spine is still developing. A soft mattress can negatively affect this process.
• Medium hardness is suitable for children under 10 years of age. It is better to give preference to springless models.
• Models with moderate stiffness are ideal for teenagers.

With the level of physical activity it is even easier. The less a person moves, the harder his sleeping surface is. If you are exposed to significant stress every day, it is better to choose a softer mattress. On a hard bed, the body will not completely relax, and the muscles will not have time to recover during sleep.

Optimal level of hardness

The first parameter you should pay attention to when choosing a mattress is its hardness. This characteristic is very subjective; even the same mattress may seem hard to some and soft to others. In addition, the feel of the mattress’s hardness is affected by the sleeper’s build and age. But at the same time, there are general recommendations that will allow you to understand which mattress is right for you: hard or soft.

Choose the firmness of your mattress depending on your weight. If the weight of the sleeper is up to 50 kg, then a soft mattress is suitable; for a person weighing from 50 to 90 kg, a medium-hard model is suitable. If the weight of the sleeper is more than 100 kg, then a moderately hard or firm mattress can provide a healthy and comfortable sleep.

The age of the sleeper also affects the firmness level of the mattress. For newborns and children under three years of age, hard coconut models are recommended; for school-age children and teenagers, it is better to choose medium-hard mattresses. Moderate to medium firmness is also suitable for adults of average weight, while older people should choose soft mattresses.

Since we are choosing a mattress for a double bed, it is worth making sure that it is comfortable for each sleeper, but how to do this if, for example, they have a different weight category?

How to choose a springless mattress for a double bed

Instead of spring blocks, inside such mattresses there are stacked or monolithic blocks made of various fillers. Main advantages of the products:

• Service life up to 15 years.
• High strength.
• Good orthopedic properties.

And such mattresses do not creak. This is not surprising, because there are no spring blocks inside, which means there will be no extraneous sounds even over time.

Types of springless products

Sectional view of springless mattress

Types of mattresses

Modern mattresses can be not only spring or springless, but also imply much more complex designs.

Spring mattresses with a block of dependent springs

Models with a block of dependent springs are made of steel wire rigidly fastened together. This is a reliable and durable design, the orthopedic properties of which are minimized. Springs sag and stretch over time.

The Bonnell type spring block has a different weaving technology: springs, structurally woven in a certain sequence, have an orthopedic effect. The advantage should be considered low cost and durability.

Spring mattresses with a block of independent springs

The smaller the spring diameter, the more precise the support and the higher the orthopedic effect. In addition, the better the spring blocks will adapt to the person. In the most advanced systems, the diameter of the springs is only three cm; for each division of the mattress there are up to 1000 independent springs. This allows you to take into account the individual characteristics of the body.

The advantages are that:

• each spring is in a separate bag;
• the elements are separated and do not touch each other, they do not have a “wave effect”;
• the spine is in a natural position.

Thus, the more springs, the higher the level of comfort and the greater the load the base can withstand.

Mattresses without springs

Springless systems consist of layers of natural and artificial filler. The greatest orthopedic effect is formed by the latex foam base. Latex foam consists of 65% natural rubber, the remaining 35% is soap and a special reagent. The special shape and system of through holes create a zoned anatomical design with an internal ventilation system. Each movement during sleep increases air circulation three times.

The second important element is the filler. The thickness of the filler must be at least three cm. The main parameter of the filler is hardness.

Wherein:

• the choice of degree of rigidity depends on the sleeping position;
• if a person sleeps on his side, choose soft fillers;
• If you are more accustomed to sleeping on your stomach or back, firmer fillers are better.

The cheapest model has a filling made of foam rubber (polyurethane foam). Over time, it wrinkles and crumples. To ensure an orthopedic effect, such a mattress is placed on a special grid with a metal frame.

If other materials are added to the foam rubber, for example, latex, coconut coir or polyurethane foam, the service life increases to 20 years. These products can withstand loads of up to 140 kg.

Combined

A multi-layer combined springless mattress filled with coconut or latex is perfect for a married couple. Products made from natural latex and coconut coir are elastic, resilient and hypoallergenic.

The level of rigidity varies from medium to high (depending on the percentage of materials). Natural materials are breathable and provide reliable support for the spine, as well as comfortable rest. They are worthy competitors to models with an independent spring block.

Single-sided and double-sided

If there is no need to turn the mattress over, one-sided is recommended: it has filling on only one side. They can be not only spring, but also springless. The presented models are cheaper than similar double-sided ones.

Double-sided systems are manufactured with varying degrees of rigidity. Such models should be turned over and used for preventive and therapeutic purposes.

Double-sided winter-summer models have warm wool on one side and cool wool on the other. It is usually made of materials that allow air circulation and dissipate heat.

Non-standard

If a person is the happy owner of a bed of an atypical shape, for example, round or oval, you can make an individual order. Russian factories will produce a model of any shape and combine layers of filler to suit individual characteristics.

Top natural fillers for springless mattresses

Fillers for products are divided into artificial and natural. The latter are considered more environmentally friendly and non-allergenic. Let's look at four popular options.

Sisal

It is a soft fiber treated with latex. Belongs to the category of expensive materials. Used to make premium mattresses. It has pronounced orthopedic properties and high strength and moisture resistance. Does not absorb odors.

Natural latex

Raw materials made from the sap of rubber trees. Characterized by increased elasticity and the ability to withstand significant loads. Latex remembers the shape of the body and provides support for the spine in the correct position. Does not accumulate dust and is resistant to bacterial growth.

Coconut coir

Coconut fiber treated with latex compound. Material characterized by moderate rigidity. Does not accumulate moisture, is perfectly ventilated, and provides an optimal microclimate. It has orthopedic properties, making it ideal for children and the elderly.

Horsehair

Biological material from horse manes and tails. It is used in pressed form and covered with a latex composition. Refers to premium raw materials, used for the manufacture of elite models of mattresses. This is a very strong and durable filler that allows air to pass through and does not accumulate moisture. Provides optimal firmness and comfort during sleep.

Which mattress to choose: double-sided or single-sided

Single-sided mattresses are most often models of the premium segment; among them, high mattresses from foreign manufacturers are often found. They are ideal for sleeping systems and low beds.

Double-sided mattresses are more practical. By turning the mattress over from time to time, you extend its life by preventing it from caking and sagging. In addition, a double-sided mattress can have different sides of different firmness. If you cannot determine the ideal mattress firmness for you or want to change it from time to time, then double-sided models will be the best option.

Among double-sided mattresses, “winter-summer” models are especially popular, as they provide an optimal microclimate for your sleeping area throughout the year. In such mattresses, the “winter” side usually contains natural wool, and the “summer” side is equipped with a breathable cotton cover.

Artificial fillers and their features

Artificial fillers are not much inferior to natural ones. A larger number of varieties allow you to choose products with the desired properties.

Eco Foam

Hypoallergenic foam filler. Material for moderately soft mattresses. Provides optimal position of the spine during sleep. Does not accumulate dust, does not absorb odors.

Holofiber

One of the most common medium-hard fillers. Durable, high-strength material with orthopedic effect.

Polyurethane foam

Material from the budget category. Hypoallergenic, moisture-resistant, elastic filler with good ventilation. Different types of polyurethane foam differ in density, so when choosing a mattress you need to pay attention to this parameter.

Memorix

A fairly new filler with a memory effect. Provides incredible comfort while sleeping. When you lie down, indentations are formed on the surface, exactly repeating the contours of your body. As a result, the load on the joints completely disappears, and the spine takes on an optimal position. However, there is one drawback - the material is quite soft, so it is not suitable for lovers of hard mattresses.

Artificial latex

A material with similar properties to natural latex. It does not deform, quickly restores its original shape, does not cause allergies, can withstand heavy weight, and lasts a long time. It is the leader in popularity among other fillers.

Types of mattresses

There are many options on the market today, which can be divided into two main categories: conventional and orthopedic. The difference lies in the quality characteristics and properties of the fillers. Cotton or padding polyester products are considered not comfortable enough and cannot boast of optimal back support. An orthopedic mattress, in turn, serves for the prevention and treatment of diseases of the musculoskeletal system.

Despite the fact that orthopedic mattresses are filled with different materials, they all have a positive effect on the condition of the spine.

When choosing the appropriate option, it is worth considering that they are divided into two types:

• springless - with various fillers (struttofiber, coconut coir, latex), single-layer or combined, from artificial and natural materials;
• with spring blocks - such models use a metal base.

Products that use spring filler are supplemented with layers of artificial or natural raw materials. The rigidity indicators of the model depend on them.

With spring block

For the production of spring-type mattress products, steel wire with a diameter of 1.8 to 2.5 mm is used. The classification is based on design:

1. With Bonnell springs - with dependent blocks of four- and five-turn spirals, which are arranged in a row and interconnected. The number of such elements per square meter is approximately 100. When one spring is compressed, neighboring ones are also subject to deformation, which does not provide the necessary orthopedic effect.
2. With independent blocks. The number of five and eight-turn elements is from 250 to 1200 per square meter. m. Each spring is wrapped in a cover and is not connected to the adjacent one. When pressed, only the spiral on which the pressure is applied is compressed.

The design with independent blocks ensures equal distribution of the load over the entire area of ​​the mattress, therefore, the maximum orthopedic effect is achieved.

Mattresses with independent blocks are also classified according to subtypes:

1. With different hardness of the sides. By turning the spring mattress over, you can change the degree of elasticity of the sleeping place.
2. With longitudinal zoning. The products are characterized by different hardness for each half of the bed. For married couples with a significant difference in weight, a double bed with just such a mattress is suitable.
3. With cross zoning. Due to the asymmetrical filling, the rigidity of the sleeping place differs for different parts of the body. The number of such zones reaches seven.
4. With hourglass spring shape. Each component consists of 7 turns and an additional support. This configuration allows the spring to compress in 3 stages and provides several levels of rigidity.

The latest developments include mattresses with a DS block. They are characterized by a complex filler design - “a spring within a spring”. External elements can withstand a load of up to 100 kg, internal elements are connected only if the person’s weight exceeds this norm (but not more than 150 kg). Such models are relevant for obese people.

Different materials are used to fill springless bed mattresses. The rigidity of the product and its orthopedic properties depend on their characteristics. The most popular are:

1. Polyurethane foam. Characterized by high orthopedic properties. It allows air to pass through well, does not accumulate moisture (reduces the risk of dampness and musty odors), is hypoallergenic, and is also affordable. An analogue can be called the innovative material OrmaFoam, which also has high strength and orthopedic properties.
2. Latex. This is a natural raw material (from the juice of the Brazilian Hevea). There is also a similar artificial material, but with more rigid characteristics. Both fillers have high orthopedic properties, are hypoallergenic, do not retain moisture and are well ventilated. The disadvantages include a fairly decent cost.
3. Coconut coir (pressed nut threads) is an environmentally friendly and natural raw material. Mattresses are made from it, which have a positive effect on the condition of the muscles, spine and joints. In most cases, the filler does not cause allergic reactions and has ventilation and moisture-repellent properties.
4. Struttofiber. An artificial material made from polyester fiber. Other components can be added to the raw material to improve air circulation and regulate hardness. Such models last for many years, although they are quite expensive.

The product passport must contain information about which type of mattress is filled - synthetic or natural.

Seaweed can be used as a natural filler, woven into a special synthetic mesh, which gives strength to the material. Mattresses made from this raw material have antibacterial properties, are resistant to rotting, and allow air to pass through well. They have average hardness levels. Also used are husks made from cedar shavings, which are distinguished by high orthopedic properties and also improve health due to the content of essential oils.

With memory effect

Similar products for double beds are made from a special synthetic material - soy foam or cellular polyurethane foam. The main advantage is the memory effect: under the influence of body heat, the filler becomes flexible and takes the required shape, evenly distributing the weight. When the sleeping position changes, the mattress also adapts to it. Advantages of using this model:

• the ability to take any shape and withstand loads of up to two hundred kg;
• hygroscopicity and hypoallergenicity;
• antibacterial effect;
• breathability;
• durability.

The only drawback is that high-quality models made from “smart” foam are expensive. The use of such specimens is indicated for users with diseases of the musculoskeletal system, pain in the joints and lower back. The products are also popular among older people and those who play sports.

Mermen

The filling of such a mattress is ordinary water. Externally, the product does not differ from simple models for double beds, but functionally it is significantly superior to them. When choosing, you should take into account all the positive and negative characteristics.

Pros:

• high orthopedic properties, provides relief from fatigue and muscle relaxation, improves blood circulation;
• equipped with a water heating function, which helps you fall asleep better at a comfortable temperature;
• hypoallergenic, not susceptible to mold and mildew;
• easy to care for.

The water mattress is durable, does not sag or deform, the upholstery is made of durable, wear-resistant material.

This model also has disadvantages:

• The weight of the product is quite heavy, the bed for it must have a particularly strong base;
• due to its large size, it is not suitable for small rooms;
• There are certain operating rules that must be strictly followed.

A high-quality air mattress, even if it is small, must be multi-chamber - equipped with special cylinders filled with water. In this model, the liquid is stationary, which makes the bed stable.

How to choose a spring mattress for a double bed

Spring mattresses are models equipped with spring blocks responsible for rigidity and elasticity. Such systems ensure uniform load distribution over the surface of products.

General features of spring models:

• Such specimens are always 2-5 cm higher than springless ones. Before buying, it is worth critically assessing the height of the bed.
• They have an elastic surface, promote muscle relaxation and fall asleep quickly.
• They allow air to pass through perfectly and do not accumulate moisture.
• They are relatively inexpensive - cheaper than many springless models.

Models are classified depending on the type of spring block. There are two types of systems: dependent and independent. Let's talk about each in more detail.

Choosing the right size

If you have already decided on the type of mattress and its contents, then all that remains is to correctly determine the size of your mattress. The size of the mattress always matches the size of your sleeping area. It should be measured along the inner perimeter of the bed: the length of the bed from the foot to the head and the width of the bed between the side parts is the length and width of your sleeping place.

Mattresses with a width of 160 cm are more popular among buyers, and more and more often they are choosing “king” bed sizes - 180 cm and 2 m wide. The standard length is 190 cm or 2 m. The height of the mattress should also be determined in accordance with the dimensions of your bed. The average height of a spring model is from 18 to 24 cm, a springless mattress is 15-18 cm.

If the dimensions of your sleeping place are far from standard, then we can easily make a mattress according to your individual size.

Dependent spring block "Bonnel"

Using this type of system is one of the first proven mattress technologies. The filling of the block is a base of four-turn springs interconnected by spirals.

Advantages of a dependent spring block:

• Low cost.
• Good elasticity indicators.
• Excellent ventilation.
• Resistant to heavy loads.
• Ability to withstand weight up to 180 kg.

The system has few disadvantages, but they are significant. Before choosing a mattress model with Bonnel, keep in mind that the system provides a low level of orthopedicity. Instances with a dependent spring block are not recommended for children and people with spinal problems.

The biggest drawback is in the design of the system. If one element of the block fails, this will invariably lead to deformation of the surface and disruption of the performance characteristics of the mattress.

Important! Buyers often point out another disadvantage of such models. A few years after starting to use the product, it begins to creak. It is not a fact that this will happen with your purchase, but the probability is still present.

Manufacturers rating

Many brands produce reliable mattresses that will serve a married couple for a long time. But some factories have established themselves as suppliers of the most durable and hardy models. Our rating includes Russian companies that are distinguished by fast delivery, a wide range of products and popularity among customers.

• Sontelle. A Russian mattress factory that produces models from the budget to the premium segment. The main advantage of Sontell is that the client can order a mattress of any non-standard size in increments of 1 cm. This is an excellent offer for all owners of non-standard beds. Roll-up mattresses of the Libre series and multi-layer elite mattresses Solo are especially popular.
• DreamLine. The very first factory with which the MnogoSna store began to cooperate is distinguished by the highest quality of goods, fast delivery and a careful, responsible approach to orders. DreamLine mattresses with double springs have long become a household name among connoisseurs of orthopedic support. The popular Massage series is distinguished not only by high-quality fillers, but also by a constant massage layer on top. This surface will help you relax at the end of the working day and fall asleep faster, thanks to a gentle massage of the soft tissues of the body.
• BeautySon. This brand produces glue-free mattresses in which all layers are connected using metal staples, rather than being glued together. This avoids any unpleasant smell after unpacking. Additional reinforcement in the form of Z-springs makes the edges of the mattress very strong. They won't get wet even if you sit on the edge every day.
• Ormatek. Manufacturer of orthopedic mattresses with a proven reputation and a large fan base among married couples. The brand produces both affordable and premium products for daily use. A large number of series will allow you to choose the right bed for any family.

But the range and variety of spring blocks allows any couple to assemble a sleeping place. The Element series, which has collected the hits of spring mattresses, is especially in demand today.
• Alitte. A young brand located near Moscow, which has almost no negative reviews and is distinguished by its low price and great attention to quality! Alitta is distinguished by spring mattresses with double springs from the Duo line, despite the expensive and powerful spring unit, a couple can afford such a model even with a modest budget.

Independent spring block: types and characteristics

Independent systems are more modern analogues of mattress filling. Unlike Bonnell blocks, where the elements are connected to each other, here the springs are autonomous. Each part is enclosed in a separate pocket made of dense material.

Advantages:

• Minimal vibration effect.
• The ability to adapt to the anatomical curves of the body.
• Ensuring complete safety and relaxation of the body during sleep.
• Service life from 10 years.
• Elasticity, strength.
• Resistance to deformation.

Mattresses with independent spring blocks have excellent orthopedic properties. Performance characteristics depend on the number of springs in the block. The more elements, the better the support of the spine.

There are different options for independent systems. We invite you to study their features.

Spring mattress with independent blocks in section

S1000 (Multipocket)

The number of springs is 1000 elements per bed. Mattresses equipped with this system are suitable for people weighing from 90 to 110 kg. Practice shows that the surface can withstand even heavy loads.

Products with such fillings belong to the premium class. Due to the high density of springs, the system has ideal orthopedic properties. S1000 mattresses are recommended for people of all age groups.

TFK

This block has 500-512 springs per bed. This is the most popular and budget option. The maximum load on the surface is 120 kg, however, such products are not recommended for people with heavy weight.

S2000 (Micropocket)

From the name of the system it is obvious that there are 2000 microsprings per bed. Mattresses with such equipment belong to the premium class. They are characterized by point elasticity, ideal supporting properties, and increased elasticity. Products with the S2000 block are suitable for people weighing up to 150 kg and couples with a significant difference in weight.

DS (Duet)

The block received this name because small structural elements are located inside larger ones. Mattresses with such filling should be considered by couples whose weight difference is more than 30 kg.

The system's double springs can support weights up to 150 kg. This indicator is stated by the manufacturer, but in fact, persons with a body weight of up to 180 kg can use the sleeping surface without the risk of deformation of the elements.

Hour Glass

An innovative system developed by representatives together with American specialists. A special feature of the structure of the springs is the narrower and more elastic central parts of the parts.

Each part of the element comes into effect step by step. If a light weight is applied to the surface, only the upper and lower zones of the springs are compressed. When there is a significant load on the mattress, the narrow central parts of the structure are used.

Each spring is compressed strictly from top to bottom. The unique shape of the elements completely eliminates sideways deviations of parts.

Advice! As you now face the question of how to choose a mattress for a double bed with orthopedic properties, pay attention to models with the “Hourglass” system. They are universal in terms of stiffness and are suitable for people of any age, including small children.

How to choose a good mattress for two: checklist

Write down the answers to the following questions and use them when purchasing a mattress

1. What are the dimensions of the bed you are buying a mattress for? Specify the length, width and preferably height. Do not select a mattress that fits the size of the bed. It is better to buy a product a couple of centimeters smaller than to purchase a size that is true to size. Standard dimensions of mattresses for double beds are 160x200 cm with a height of 18-24 cm.
2. What is the total weight of the partners? As a rule, the stiffness of the mattress is selected taking into account the total mass. The larger it is, the harder the mattress is needed. (Below there is a sign that will help you choose the hardness of the sleeping place depending on the weight of your partners)
3. Do you need a mattress with different firmness? If so, choose one that has different levels of stiffness on each side. Typically, such a mattress is necessary for couples whose weight difference is more than 40 kg.
4. Does one partner have back problems? For diseases of the spine, you need an orthopedic mattress with independent spring blocks.
5. Are you considering purchasing two different mattresses? It may be necessary if partners have radically different preferences in mattresses. For example, a man has back problems, and the difference in weight between partners is 30-40 kg. In this case, you can purchase two different products with suitable parameters.
6. Do you or your partner have allergies? If “Yes,” choose a product with synthetic hypoallergenic filler. As a rule, it does not cause an allergic reaction. Natural materials are suitable if you are absolutely sure that the chosen filler does not contribute to allergies in you or your partner.

Selecting mattress hardness depending on weight

What is an orthopedic mattress

Now let's move on to the main question - which mattresses are considered orthopedic. Many people mistakenly believe that such a product will relieve curvature of the spine and other pathologies of the musculoskeletal system. However, a correctly selected surface only helps to minimize discomfort and pain during rest and maintains the spinal column in its anatomical position.

Mattresses with orthopedic properties can be either spring or springless. The main characteristics of the products: rigidity, type of construction, types of filler and size. To make it easier to decide, look at the short guide on choosing.

The most commonly used fillers for orthopedic models are: coconut fiber, artificial and natural latex, struttofiber, polyurethane foam. Manufacturers choose raw materials that do not cause allergic reactions, do not roll off, or sag during the use of the mattress.

Orthopedic mattress cross-section

Requirements for a sleeping place for two

A double orthopedic mattress for a couple should meet the needs of both partners. Take into account physiological characteristics and wishes.

A quality mattress for a couple should:

• suit both partners in terms of softness, height and other properties;
• be durable;
• be spacious enough so that you can toss and turn on it without disturbing your partner;
• work without grinding or squeaking;
• do not transmit vibrations from the movements of a neighbor;
• take into account the difference in weight (especially if it is more than 20 kg).

Advantages and disadvantages of models with orthopedic properties

Among the advantages: long service life, various levels of rigidity, orthopedic properties that have a positive effect on the condition of the body. After sleep, you will feel completely rested, full of strength and energy.

However, there are also disadvantages:

• Heavy weight of the mattress.
• High price.

The high cost is due to expensive filler materials. Well-known manufacturers most often use natural raw materials or independent spring blocks.

Water mattress for a double bed: how to choose the right one

There is another category of products worthy of your attention - options with liquid filler. Such mattresses are very popular among couples because they are often cheaper than high-quality orthopedic models.

Features of water mattresses

The top of the product is covered with a sealed PVC cover. The synthetic cover is highly durable and protects the mattress from water leakage. However, to avoid failure of the sleeping surface, it is worth following the manufacturer’s instructions regarding operating loads. Most specimens can withstand a weight of up to 200 kg per square meter.

Some water mattress models are equipped with additional filling. As such a safety net, artificial and natural materials can be used, in particular polyurethane foam, coconut coir, and latex. Additional filler can significantly increase the elasticity of the product.

High water mattress

Benefits of water sleeping surfaces

There are copies with two chambers, each of which is designed for one person. This division allows you to distribute the load on the mattress and increase the service life of the model.

If you use the mattress correctly, you do not have to worry about liquid spreading inside the product. Water specimens are equipped with cross-shaped grilles that provide uniform pressure on every centimeter of the surface.

Dust does not accumulate on waterbeds. They owe this property to the synthetic cover. Even allergy sufferers can safely take up space on such a sleeping surface.

And most importantly, the products heat up on their own. All you need to do is connect the mattress to an electrical source.

And now about the disadvantages

No matter how ideal the properties of the mattress may seem, each product has disadvantages. In the presented category of options these are:

• Heavy weight. Waterbeds for a double bed can weigh up to 500 kg. It’s one thing if you are going to leave your purchase on the floor, another thing if you still have to place it on the bed. It is important to correctly assess the parameters of the furniture and the mass of people who will sleep on this surface. Another problem is the difficulty of transportation. If you are planning to move soon, it is better to consider choosing another option.
• Poor quality sealing of budget models. The main enemy of water models is external physical damage. There are cases when cats or dogs managed to cause irreparable damage to products with their claws. To prevent this from happening, it is better to give preference to more expensive options - they are equipped with additional protection.
• Long heating. If you purchased such a mattress, you will have to wait each time for it to heat up. Don't want to spend extra time? Try to take care in advance of preparing a comfortable surface for a restful sleep.
• Additional energy consumption. Like any electrical device, the mattress will increase energy consumption. Indicators depend on the type of model. Approximate consumption is 10-20 kW monthly.

What you need to know about double memory foam mattresses

This is the best offer on the market. Memory foam mattresses are made using springless or combined technology (the spring block is covered with a thick layer of memory foam). Such products are comfortable, can be orthopedic (combined models) and are sold only in specialized clinics, or simply provide an orthopedic effect.

Double memory foam mattresses are an ideal solution for couples where one partner weighs much more than the other. They provide comfortable sleep and eliminate the hammock effect, when a lighter person rolls into a hole under the side of a heavier person while resting.

When choosing such a mattress, pay attention to whether the store provides a service in the form of a test period. In this case, if the product suddenly does not fit, and this is quite likely, it can be returned - your money will be returned or they will offer you another model in exchange for the returned one.

Signs of quality products

Are you faced with a dilemma, which mattress is better to choose for a double bed? We answer unequivocally - only branded ones. There are many copies on the market that do not at all meet quality and safety standards. What signs to look for in addition to performance characteristics:

• The surface of the mattress should not appear dirty or damaged. A quality product will not have protruding threads or other foreign elements.
• The packaging must have a protective film. Without it, your purchase runs the risk of becoming covered with dust and dirt during transportation.
• Reliable manufacturers must label their products with a brand name. If it is not there, most likely this is a fake.

If you have the opportunity to inspect the mattress from all sides before paying, do not neglect this chance. Some models are equipped with a zipper that is easy to unfasten and inspect the filling. Is there something confusing? Ask questions to the seller and, if necessary, exchange the product for a better one.

Types and types of mattresses "Askona"

To answer the question of how to choose the best mattress among the existing variety of Ascona products, you need to understand their varieties. Types are structurally divided into:

• spring,
• springless.

Each type is divided into types.
So spring mattresses are:

• with independent springs, each of which is placed in a separate bag,
• with dependent springs (Bonnel design).

Products without springs differ in the fillers they contain. These materials determine the durability, anatomical and orthopedic properties of the mattress. Askona models use modern fillers, including latex and its artificial substitute - polyurethane foam, natural coconut coir, sheep wool, struttofiber.

Which Askona mattress to choose for back pain and osteochondrosis

The sleeping surface for problems with the spine should be anatomical.
This means that the mattress should smoothly flow around the body, repeating every curve, and not put pressure on the diseased parts of the spine. How to choose the right Ascona mattress for back problems? It is extremely important to choose the right stiffness. The soft surface is suitable for people with lumbar pain. Especially if you are over 50 years old and have joint and vascular problems.

Medium hardness should be chosen by those who suffer from pain in the thoracic spine.

High rigidity alleviates painful conditions in the cervical and pelvic spine.

“Ascona” mattresses for children and teenagers

The human spine is formed before the age of 25.
Therefore, it is important for children and adolescents to sleep on beds with a hard surface. Maximum rigidity is required for babies under 1 year of age. For children, it is not recommended to purchase models with dependent springs. A child's bed is often subjected to strong impacts when children jump on it, so the springs can straighten out, rupture the cover and cause injury. A good choice for children are the Baby Flex Sleep and Baby Flex Smile models.

This will be convenient for people who move little and suffer from back pain, as well as those who are above average weight.

The knitted cover with Ultraphil Plus antibacterial impregnation allows the product to be used even by allergy sufferers.

Choosing a hypoallergenic mattress

Dust that accumulates in the bed, mites that live in the mattress, and airtight artificial upholstery that irritates the skin are dangerous for people with allergies. In this case, springless mattresses that are not electrified are recommended - latex, coconut, seaweed.

Holofiber and high-density polyurethane foam do not pose a threat. Calico mattress covers help prevent allergic reactions. The fabric rejects dust and does not collect moisture. Jacquard and knitted covers are also suitable.
