Buying a mattress is a rather expensive procedure. Therefore, to increase its service life, you should think about the correct and careful operation of the product. That is why today, not only in Kyiv, but throughout Ukraine, special covers for mattresses, so-called mattress pads, appear. However, not every such "assistant" is capable of performing their functions as required.
What requirements should be met for a mattress pad when buying
- The mattress topper should help preserve the appearance of the mattress, protecting it from all kinds of influences.
- If there is to be protection from liquid, dust and moisture, you should pay attention to moisture-proof products. They should be easy to use: easy to clean from dirt and dry quickly.
- Modern mattress covers are made of cotton fabric equipped with an additional moisture-proof layer and special impregnation. Such mattress toppers should not have the so-called "greenhouse" effect.
- In combination with a blanket, this product should maintain the optimal microclimate for the human body. After all, the body often gives off heat to the mattress, which is why beds seem cold. The mattress topper should prevent excessive heat transfer.
- The mattress cover is required to regulate the firmness of the latter. If it is hard, then the choice should be stopped at mattress pads made of coconut fiber or polyurethane foam. Such options help to adjust the hardness of the surface. If, on the contrary, the mattress is too soft, then you can buy latex products.
- Special hypoallergenic options are available for people suffering from allergic diseases. For example, the Yaroslav brand offers mattress toppers with an antibacterial effect that prevents the appearance of fungi around insects.
Types of mattress toppers
Mattress covers are distinguished, first of all, based on the method of sewing. The most common option is overlays that are attached using mattress rubber bands. Covers can also be worn completely, use a zipper as a fastener.
It is no secret that orthopedic mattress pads are in demand today. When choosing this product option in Kyiv or some other city, it is important not to make a mistake. Here it is important to know the parameters of the bed. As for such mattress toppers, they must exactly fit the size of the bed. Otherwise, they will bring nothing but inconvenience. In order to achieve the maximum orthopedic effect of the mattress and ensure high-quality ergonomics of the bed, latex and coconut coir are "introduced" into such a mattress topper.
A mattress cover can also act as an additional layer, softening the stiffness of the bed and preventing the ingress of dirt. This mattress topper is a thin quilted blanket, equipped with syntepon layers and a natural coating.
Moisture-resistant mattress toppers use a special membrane material in their composition. It is absolutely safe for allergy sufferers, has high air permeability, and is also quick to clean.
Mattress covers, equipped with a layer of insulation, a wool layer, provide excellent thermoregulation. As you know, wool is a hygroscopic material that makes the mattress more comfortable. This property is perfectly used by the demi-season mattress pad, consisting of two types of fabric. A cover with silk or cotton fabric is used in the summer, and a woolen cover in the winter.
