Deciding to buy a mattress means investing in sleeping peacefully, avoiding problems such as headaches, back pain, joint pain or waking up accompanied by hated cevicale.
The possibilities of choice are really many and depend on the conformation, the needs and the way of sleeping of each one.
Here are some points to consider before opening your wallet and buying an ecological mattress.
Buying tips: the ecological mattress
Does the 100% ecological mattress really exist ? Probably yes, paying attention to production and origin you can buy ecological latex mattresses, memory foam or even a futon .
Here are the important points to check before jumping on the first morbidone that happens!
Used material
To avoid allergies or technical problems, the first thing to do is to find out about the materials and their status. The latest trends favor memory foam compared to the "old" latex, natural and rubber or synthetic that it is, or that of pocket springs. The memory foam made with vegetable foam is considered ecological and enveloping.
However, if you suffer from allergies, 100% natural latex always remains the most suitable choice because it is breathable and does not contain mites or molds, taking into account the fact that there are also mattresses made of latex internally and covered with a top layer of soft foam.
The springs are not considered so positively, because they can generate electromagnetic fields, even if there are spring mattresses of the latest " hybrid " type, that is with springs enclosed one by one in fabric casings, then covered in memory foam.
Lining
Very important component, the element that more than any other will come into contact with the skin: check that it is made of raw cotton or natural fabric and - like bamboo or wool - , ecological and biological, hypoallergenic and breathable.
Mattress support
Perhaps we are not aware of the fact that there are also mattresses made "a zona", that means that they provide from 3 to as many as 13 areas of different " hardness", understood as a support to give to the body during the night, depending on whether it rests on it the head, the pelvis or the legs.
Here too it is good to orient oneself according to one's own personal needs, which contemplate both weight and sensitivity and the needs linked to various disorders. Another rather stiff mattress is the ecological and natural futon, basic made with layers of cotton, but which can also contain natural latex and coconut fibers to increase elasticity .
