Fix your cabin sleep by updating Petar! Do you know what the most important function of a replacement mattress is? – 2024-04-14 03:03:00

The replacement mattress has many roles: it makes it easier to lay down, improves the hygiene of the bed, reduces the pressure on the body and gives support to the body. Changing the mattress more often, due to wear or poor hygiene, is much cheaper than changing the entire frame mattress or bed.

From the very beginning, the idea of ​​a replacement mattress has included the fact that it needs to be changed often – however, this has been forgotten in many homes. Due to the modern high level of hygiene, the replacement mattress no longer needs to be changed very often due to soiling. However, the replacement mattress is thin, so even if it is of good quality, it gets tired quickly in the hole, which of course makes it easier to kick, but becomes bad for the back and sleep quality in terms of sleeping ergonomics.

Making it easier to kick is a secondary function of the replacement mattress

Good sleep ergonomics improves night sleep and prevents and reduces neck and back pain. Sleeping ergonomics is influenced above all by pillow and mattress choices. Although the positioning mattress is often thought of as just a cover that makes it easier to get into bed, its importance to sleeping ergonomics can be decisive. The most important function of the positioning mattress is to complete the support the body receives and reduce the pressure stress on the body.

Investing in a replacement mattress pays off, as it improves sleeping ergonomics

– Very often, when interviewing buyers of new mattresses, it turns out that the entire mattress set, i.e. the base mattress and replacement mattress, has been the same throughout its lifetime, for example up to 12 years. However, a replacement mattress made of standard material should be replaced every 2-5 years, says a trained expert in sleep ergonomics Janne Nieppola From the Tempur Brand Store in Tampere Koskikeskus and Lempäälä Ideapark.

The mattress under the replacement mattress creates a posture for sleeping ergonomics, i.e. it aligns the body’s position and provides support. However, without the right type of mattress, you cannot sleep properly on a spring mattress, for example, because the mattress is too hard and does not adapt to the body. The low support of a worn-out mattress leads to wrong positions, which can be felt in the body in the morning as pain or back stiffness.

– If it is difficult for the sleeper to find a comfortable sleeping position, in addition to checking the pillow and the base mattress, it is also worth paying attention to the replacement mattress, says Nieppola.

Minimizing the pressure stress on the body is important

In addition to loss of support, a worn-out mattress causes point-specific pressure stress on the sleeper’s body. In this case, when pressure is applied to a small area, surface blood circulation is blocked and this causes restless movement and turning as the body tries to protect the tissues from lack of oxygen.

– A good mattress therefore distributes the pressure on the body over a wide area, but also gives the body support, so that the body position remains physiologically correct, says Nieppola.

Before getting a petari – check the condition of the cabin mattress

In the past, it might have been customary to bring one’s own old mattresses to the cabin when new sleeping pads had been purchased. Now, free time and its activities are valued more, and many also work from the pine landscape. If your base mattress is in good condition and supports your sleeping ergonomics correctly, but you need an improvement in sleeping, upgrading a replacement mattress can be convenient and also a cheaper solution for a better night’s sleep than buying a full mattress.

Eight-centimeter-thick Tempur positioning mattresses distribute the body’s weight optimally and support the body correctly. Tempur positioning mattresses are also long-lasting, as they are guaranteed for 15 years. The replacement mattress, which is shaped according to body heat, can be placed on top of a standard foam or spring mattress in good condition.

With a Tempur replacement mattress, you can improve the sleeping properties of a mattress that is too hard, but a mattress that is too soft should be replaced, as it does not support enough. When changing the mattress, the way the body sinks into the mattress usually changes, so it’s a good idea to check the fit of the pillow: with a thicker and more flexible mattress pad, the height requirement of the pillow is usually lower.

A practical tip for assessing the condition of a mattress

– If the bedclothes do not stay in place, it indicates restless movement during the night: the mattress does not distribute the pressure on the body correctly, but prevents surface blood circulation. You may also experience physical weakness in the mornings, which can indicate a weakened phase of deep sleep, Nieppola clarifies.

Cheap, thin and low-quality replacement mattresses have to be replaced even every year. What quality and age is your mattress?

The transfer of moisture and heat changes – an expert to help you choose a replacement mattress as well

The mattress is important for both the quality of sleep and the health of the musculoskeletal system. Although, for example, the purchase of a Tempur mattress is a fairly safe solution on top of a mattress in good condition, it is worth turning to an expert when purchasing and evaluating together what the real need is in terms of sleeping equipment. Only about a fifth of the body’s surface is in contact with the mattress, so the blanket plays an important role in regulating temperature and humidity.

When changing the bed, the transfer of body moisture and the conduction of heat often change, so it would be good to deal with both the new adjustments of the bedroom temperature and the changed need for blankets in the same context. Sleeping in a cool place improves the quality of sleep, but it also requires more than usual from sleeping equipment. The Tempur mattress, pillow and blanket are based on NASA technology developed for extreme conditions, so using them to adapt the bedroom conditions to restorative well-being is the most effective of all.
