It should be remembered that currently manufacturers produce a huge variety of such accessories, each sample has its own characteristics. Today we will analyze what characteristics and features the anatomical models of mattresses have.
What it is?
Anatomical mattresses make it possible to exactly follow all the contours and shapes of the body... They are distinguished by an increased level of comfort and convenience. These varieties also provide the necessary support for the spine, prevent back curvature. Anatomical specimens are generally quite soft.
They have a number of important advantages:
- provide support for all parts of the body;

Also, these products require correct operation, it is not worth jumping and jumping on their surface, otherwise the service life will be significantly reduced.
What is the difference from orthopedic mattresses?
It should be noted that there is a significant difference between the two types of mattresses. The difference is that anatomical models have a special anatomical effect, which allows the surface to completely repeat all the bends and shape of the body of a lying person... Instances of this type are distinguished by an increased level of convenience. Orthopedic structures provide maximum support for the user's spine.
They will be the most suitable option for those who suffer from curvature of the spine. Such samples are characterized by an increased degree of rigidity. We can say that anatomical products combine two important effects at the same time. Their surface is quite soft and elastic. All anatomical specimens are orthopedic. But orthopedic models are considered tough. They are prescribed by doctors for people with back problems.
