Spring mattress

Spring mattress (English spring mattress), commonly known as "Simmons" in China, is a modern commonly used mattress with better performance, and its cushion core is composed of springs. The cushion has the advantages of good elasticity, better support, strong air permeability, and durability. The three-section partitioned independent spring designed strictly in accordance with the ergonomic principle can more flexibly expand and contract in accordance with the curve and weight of the human body.

The spring mattress evenly supports each part of the body, keeps the spine naturally straight, so that the muscles are fully relaxed, and the number of sleep turns is reduced.

Chinese name: spring mattress

Product classification: first-line steel, connection type, etc.

Features: good elasticity, better support, strong air permeability

Cushion core composition: spring

Resultant

Traditional mattresses are made of coils of springs with a relatively thick wire diameter, which are connected and fixed by steel wires. They have high hardness, a firm feeling of sleep, good support but less elasticity, and are easily involved. Most of the elders in China or Japanese people often use linked box springs due to their living habits. However, if they sleep in a fixed position or sit on the sides and corners of the bed for a long time, or if they don't turn the mattress regularly, it is easy to cause depression and elastic fatigue.

First-line steel

Every spring of each mattress is wound with a steel wire from the head of the bed to the end of the bed, and then connected in parallel, creating the uniqueness of the first-line steel mattress, which is all in terms of supporting force, average stress and pressure dispersion. The strongest kind of spring structure.

High elasticity

The steel wire diameter of the high elastic spring is 1.8mm. After the spring is made, the steel wire is connected to form the whole mattress. It is made of high-carbon steel and high-temperature heating of Sinosteel. It can bend 90 degrees without deformation, so it has high resilience. , And both have the characteristics of Q soft and flexible.

Independent tube

The independent cylinder spring is packed into a bag with non-woven fabric or cotton cloth, and then sealed by glue bonding or ultrasonic wave. The more coils of the spring, the higher the spring body and the greater the softness. The number of coils is 6 or 7 is the most. The number of spring bodies arranged is based on the inner diameter of the spring. The smaller the inner diameter, the more spring bodies are needed, and the harder the mattress is. Independent tube mattress springs are not connected by steel wire buckles, but are individually "independent". Even if the person next to the pillow rolls over and moves sideways, it will not affect the other person's sleep, and at the same time, it can even withstand every drop of the body. Pressure prevents the body from soreness due to suspension, which is the so-called ergonomic advantage. Compared with the connecting spring, the independent tube mattress has a softer sleeping feeling, but the excellent independent tube has a supporting property and the connecting spring is comparable.

High support independent cylinder

The high-support independent tube is one of the independent tube mattresses. Its manufacturing process and arrangement are the same as those of general independent tube mattresses, but the spring wire diameter used is 2.4mm refined high-carbon steel, and the number of springs is designed to be 660 The size (5 feet) can keep a stable but not too soft sleeping feeling at the same time. It is the best choice for consumers who are accustomed to using hard beds.

Honeycomb independent barrel

The honeycomb independent tube is a type of independent tube mattress with the same material and method. Generally, the independent tubes are arranged in parallel. The special feature of the honeycomb independent tube is the staggered arrangement, which can reduce the gap between the springs and improve the support and elasticity. Function, once again reduce the traction force on the surface of the mattress, it can more closely follow the curve of the human body, and improve the flexibility and elasticity of the average pressure distribution and sleeping feeling.

Independent spring pack

The independent spring bag, also known as the independent bag, is to fill each independent spring with a non-woven bag into the bag, then connect it and arrange it, and then glue it together to form a bed net. The bed net surface is usually glued with Shanghai cotton layer, so that each bag of springs can be evenly stressed, and it will feel more comfortable when used. Each spring is bent into a "bucket shape" with a strong steel wire; then after a compression process, it is sealed in a tough fiber bag to effectively prevent mold or moths, and to prevent the spring from shaking and making noise due to mutual friction; The feature is that each spring body operates individually, supports independently, and can expand and contract independently. Each spring is packed in fiber bags, non-woven bags or cotton bags, and the spring bags between different rows are glued to each other with viscose. More advanced continuous non-joint longitudinal spring technology enables one mattress to achieve the effect of double mattress.

How to choose

Consumers should first choose branded products with a certain scale and popularity when purchasing.

At the same time, the following aspects should be paid attention to.

1. Fabric quality. The fabric of the spring mattress must have a certain texture and thickness. The industry standard stipulates that the weight of the fabric per square meter is 60 grams or more; the printing and dyeing pattern of the fabric is symmetrical; the sewing needle thread of the fabric has no defects such as broken threads, skipped stitches, and floating threads.

2. Production quality. The inner quality of the spring mattress is very important for use. When choosing, check whether the surrounding edges of the mattress are straight and flat; whether the cushion surface is full and well-proportioned, and the fabric has no slack feeling; press the cushion surface 2-3 times with bare hands. The hand feels moderately soft and hard, and has a certain degree of resilience. If there is a depression or unevenness, it means that the quality of the spring steel wire of the mattress is poor, and there should be no spring friction sound in the hand feeling; if the edge of the mattress is If there is a mesh opening or a zipper device, open it and check whether the internal spring is rusty; whether the bedding material of the mattress is clean and odor-free. The bedding material generally uses hemp felt, brown sheet, chemical fiber (cotton) felt, etc., and waste is not allowed Recycled materials, or felts made from bamboo shoot shells, straw, rattan silk, etc., are used as mattress pads. The use of these pads will affect physical and mental health and service life.

3. Size requirements. The width of spring mattress is generally divided into single and double: single specification is 800mm～1200mm; double specification is 1350mm～1800mm; length specification is 1900mm～2100mm; product size deviation is specified as plus or minus 10mm.

How to buy

Mattresses are an indispensable thing in people's lives. Most people don't have a comprehensive understanding of spring mattresses. They feel soft is comfortable. In fact, you should choose a suitable spring mattress according to your physique and age.

The purchase of spring mattresses should follow some principles to help you find a spring mattress that suits you.

First, before purchasing a spring mattress, we must first understand whether the main structure of the mattress is ergonomic or not. Whether it can provide the human body with appropriate support, when lying on it, can maintain a most natural and comfortable state, without the slightest oppression and reluctance.

Second, test the elasticity of the mattress before purchasing the spring mattress. Since the human spine is not a straight line, but a shallow S-shape, it needs proper stiffness support. A bed with a healthy spring system and a spring mattress should be used for comfortable sleep. Therefore, mattresses that are too soft or too hard are not required. Suitable, especially for children who are in the developmental stage, the quality of the mattress will directly affect the child's spine development.

Third, consider the size of the mattress. When purchasing a spring mattress, add 20 centimeters to the most appropriate size for your height. In addition to leaving space for pillows and stretching your hands and feet, you can also reduce the pressure during sleep.

Fourth, choose spring mattresses according to personal sleeping habits. Because everyone has different requirements for soft, hard and elastic mattresses, you should understand your personal sleep habits before buying spring mattresses. Especially the elderly need to pay special attention to their sleeping habits. Mattresses that are too soft are easy to fall. It is difficult to get up. For the elderly with loose bones, it is better to choose a mattress with a higher hardness.

Fifth, you should choose a well-known brand that is trustworthy and has good after-sales service when purchasing spring mattresses. Because, in the mattress market, there are not only hundreds of manufacturers, whether imported or domestic, but consumers must have the correct purchasing concept and judgment ability. When buying spring mattresses, they should choose well-known brands with good reputation, perfect after-sales service and guaranteed quality. At the same time, remember to ask for the original manufacturer's guarantee or the guarantee from the agent or distributor. Don't be fooled by the superstition that the import tariff is the original imported mattress.

Sixth, when buying a spring mattress, try lying and turning in various positions to feel the support of the mattress on the spine and whether it can give a good and even support to the spine. Do not touch the mattress with your hands or buttocks. When buying a mattress, you should lie down and feel the touch and hardness of the mattress.

Product maintenance

No matter how good the quality of the mattress is, the user's care is needed to prolong the life of the mattress. The basic maintenance methods for mattresses are:

1. Turn over regularly. During the first year of purchase and use of the new mattress, turn the front and back, left and right, or turn the foot once every two to three months to make the spring of the mattress evenly stressed, and then turn it over once every six months.

2. Keep it clean. Use a vacuum cleaner to clean the mattress regularly. If the mattress is stained, you can use toilet paper or cloth to absorb the moisture. Do not wash with water or detergent; it is best to use bed sheets or cleaning pads, and avoid immediately after taking a shower or sweating Lie on it, let alone use electrical appliances or smoke in bed.

3. Don't sit on the edge of the bed often, because the four corners of the mattress are the most fragile. Sitting on the edge of the bed for a long time may damage the edge protection spring.

4. Don't jump on the bed to avoid damage to the spring when a single point of force is applied.

Structure classification

First of all, we certainly look at it from the appearance and our touch. The choice of appearance, I think, should be based on personal needs, and choose according to the layout, style and color of the respective rooms. Tactility is relatively important. Under normal circumstances, when we choose a mattress, we will touch the surface of the mattress with our hands. In fact, this is the choice of mattress fabric. When purchasing, you can ask the shopping guide appropriately. What is the fabric, and you can personally feel the comfort of the mattress fabric. But it is worth noting that the mattress is not suitable for us to sleep directly on the surface, because everyone's skin sensitivity is different, and some people sleep on it more easily than others to cause allergies. So even though the mattress we bought is very comfortable and soft, we still have to put bed sheets on it when we buy it back.

In terms of structure, spring mattresses can be roughly divided into connecting type, bagged independent cylinder, linear vertical type, linear integral type and bagged linear integral spring. In the domestic mattress market, the minimum cost of spring mattresses is around 500 yuan, and the market prices are above 750 yuan, 1,000 yuan, and 1,500 yuan, respectively, aimed at consumers with low, medium, and high demand. One of the ways to test whether the hardness is appropriate is to lie flat on the bed and reach into the waist with your hands. It may be difficult to reach in. The mattress may be too soft; on the contrary, if there is a large gap between the waist and the mattress, the mattress may be too hard .

1. Connected spring mattress: All individual springs are connected in series with a spiral iron wire to form a "community of force". Although it is slightly elastic, the spring system is not fully ergonomically designed, so it will move as soon as possible. When the whole body is under pressure, the nearby springs will pull each other.

2. Bagged independent tube spring mattress: each independent spring is pressed and filled into the bag, and then connected and arranged. Its characteristic is that each spring body operates independently, supports independently, and can expand and contract independently. Each spring is packed in fiber bags or cotton bags, and the spring bags between different rows are glued to each other. Therefore, it acts as two objects. When placed on the same bed, one side rotates and the other side will not be disturbed.

3. Line-mounted vertical spring mattress: It is formed by a continuous strand of stainless steel line, which is formed from the beginning to the end. It is characterized by adopting an integral non-disruptive structure spring, which follows the natural curve of the human spine and supports it appropriately and evenly.

Linear integral spring mattress: It consists of a continuous strand of stainless steel, from automation and precision machinery to mechanics, structure, and overall molding. According to the principle of ergonomics, the springs are arranged into a triangular open structure, the weight and pressure are supported in a pyramid shape, and the force is distributed to the surroundings to ensure that the spring’s elasticity is always as new. It is characterized by moderate hardness of the mattress. Ergonomic benefits can provide comfortable sleep and protect the health of the human spine.

4. Pocketed linear integral spring mattress: the linear integral spring is packed into a sleeve-like double-layer reinforced fiber sleeve without interval and arranged. In addition to the advantages of a linear integral spring mattress, the spring system is arranged in parallel with the human body, and any rolling on the bed surface will not affect the sleeper on the side.

Baby mattress

Newborns will spend 70% of their time in bed, so choosing a good mattress is essential to ensure that your baby sleeps well on a high-quality mattress. Even if the baby spent the first 4-6 months in a stroller or cradle, choosing a comfortable and high-quality mattress is still a wise choice. Although the baby develops rapidly in the first year, the baby's bones are still very soft. Even in early childhood, in addition to sleeping at night and naps during the day, he will spend 50% of his time in bed. Therefore, a high-quality mattress can effectively support the baby's spine and make it a straight line. Just like adult mattresses, you are uncertain about the material of the mattress. Should you choose a sponge mattress or a spring mattress? No mattress is the same. If you haven't decided yet, take a look at our comparison below, which may be instructive. 1. The sponge mattress is made of either polyether or polyester, which means it will be much lighter than a spring mattress, but the main problem is that the sponge mattress is easy to break and will quickly deform, but the sponge bed The pad is cheap. When choosing this type of mattress, you must determine whether its density is high, but it does not mean that it is thick, as long as it depends on whether the sponge uses high-density materials. High-density foam mattresses will have better support and can last for several years. 2. Spring mattresses. The reason why spring baby mattresses are more durable than foam mattresses lies in the springs. Of course, the mattresses will be heavier and the price will be higher than foam mattresses. The springs in the mattress have more turns, at least It takes 150 turns or more, whether it is a sponge mattress or a spring mattress, some vents are needed on the side, these vents can exhaust the peculiar smell. The standard of baby crib is generally 51 5/8" X 27 1/4", so when choosing a mattress, it should be consistent with the size of the bed. The distance between the mattress and the guardrail should not exceed the width of two fingers. The choice of car and cradle mattress should also pay attention to this problem. If you want the mattress to be waterproof, you can choose a nylon fabric mattress. 3. All?children's mattresses are 100% imported from Spain. It is a mattress product developed and designed according to children's different ages and heights. By supporting the growth of the spine, it can effectively restrain the kyphosis. The largest sales markets in Europe are furniture stores and children's hospitals, so they are called medical mattresses. No paint formaldehyde, easy to take care of, all coats are removable and washable. It can be replaced with new cloth cover in time when it is old, and it can also be personalized according to the season and the preferences of different age groups of children. The fourth advantage is pure solid wood bed. The internal material is pine imported from North America and Canada, and the board is made of nine-layer ash solid wood multilayer board. The yarn density of the fabric adopts 420 high-density cotton fabric, and is woven into American DuPont sterilization nanofibers, so as to fully inhibit the bacterial regeneration of the whole set of sleep products. No matter what kind of mattress you choose, make sure it is not easy to catch fire. Relatives and friends may give you mattresses they have used. Although the surface looks good, some second-hand mattresses are not fireproof and support for a long time. The strength is not enough, so it is better to buy a new mattress yourself.

Production Process

The first process is neither spring making nor cotton fabric, but incoming material and incoming material inspection. This is the primary process of production, and it is a process that must be strictly controlled. The appropriateness and qualification of raw materials is directly related to the production and quality of the finished mattress.

The second process is quilting and threading, which are two separate and simultaneous processes. Tuck cotton is the cotton cart used for mattress fabrics to the fabric, the final form of expression is the top and bottom layer of the mattress; the spring is to connect the spiral springs into a whole, which is a chain spring mattress The technology of independent bag and independent tube spring is to pack each coil spring into a strip.
