Choosing an orthopedic mattress on the sofa
Orthopedic mattresses ensure the correct position of the human spine during sleep and rest. Therefore, it is so important to purchase a sleep product that will not harm your health, but, on the contrary, will help to preserve it. Thanks to the orthopedic mattress, after sleep, a person does not feel back pain, there is no feeling of tension or muscle numbness.
general description
A large comfortable bed is very good. But the realities of our life are such that it is not always possible to arrange a large bed in a room, therefore folding sofas are often preferred. Sleeping on a pull-out couch is not very comfortable.
A good way out in such a situation would be to purchase an orthopedic mattress for the sofa. An orthopedic mattress differs from ordinary ordinary sleep products in its ability to repeat all the anatomical features of the human body, while an ordinary mattress can crumple, slide and sag under the weight of the human body.
Orthopedic mattresses for a sofa differ from other models designed for beds in their height. Bed mattresses, as a rule, have a product height of approximately 20-30 cm. Some models can reach a height of 40 or even 50 cm. Mattresses designed for use on different types of sofas are much thinner. The thickness of the sofa mattress is less than 10 centimeters.
A special feature of mattresses for use on sofas is that there are no springs in them. Thanks to this, they can be easily rolled into a tight roll, which is very convenient for storage.
Overview of varieties
Models of manufactured orthopedic mattresses for sofas differ in the fillers used. Among them are artificial and natural. Artificial fillers for sleeping mattresses are latex, strutto, orthopedic foam, polyurethane foam, holofiber.
Currently, the quality of artificial fillers is very high and differs little from natural materials. They are hypoallergenic, strong and durable sofa products.
Natural fillers for mattresses are coconut fiber and latex, which is obtained from Hevea resin. This is an absolutely environmentally friendly and safe product. Mattresses with natural fillers are well ventilated, dry very quickly, keep clean and fresh for a long time. The mattresses do not crumble and retain their shape perfectly.
According to the degree of rigidity, mattress models are divided into:
- solid;
- products with medium hardness;
- soft.
An orthopedic mattress is laid on the sofa for sleeping (there are also other names - "topper" or "thin mattress"), due to which the sleeping place becomes more rigid. And this has a beneficial effect on the condition of the spine.
Curling and folding models seem to be the most convenient. This allows them to be stored in the closet during the day when the sleeping place is assembled. But there is always an opportunity to quickly unfold the mattress and organize a comfortable place for a quiet rest at night.
You can select product models for use on the sofa bed. This is a separate category of mattresses, which are rigid and can be folded. In any case, an orthopedic mattress of the required parameters and properties can be selected on a folding sofa.
Dimensions (edit)
The standard size for a double orthopedic sofa mattress is 145 by 195 centimeters. However, the choice is not limited to these parameters. It is necessary to choose the size of the mattress depending on the width and length of the sofa:
- 120 by 200 centimeters are suitable for one and a half berths;
- 160x200 centimeters are comfortable for double large sofas;
- children's models are 60 to 120 centimeters wide;
- individual models, made to order, taking into account the specific requirements of the buyer.

How to choose the right one?
The correct choice of an orthopedic mattress for a sofa depends on several factors. First of all, size is important. The product must completely cover the surface of the sofa. Only in this case the sleep will be as comfortable as possible. To choose a product that is comfortable, it is best to lie on it to see how comfortable it is.Also, an expert consultant can help with the choice, who will present all the features of each model. When choosing an orthopedic product for a sofa, the weight of a person must be taken into account. The most durable slim models are suitable for people with a weight of 80 kilograms. Moreover, the maximum weight of a person should not exceed 120 kilograms.
It is also important to choose the right thickness of the mattress. For sofa use, thinner items are preferred. This is due to the fact that such a mattress will be convenient to roll up and remove so that it is invisible during the day. Therefore, when purchasing a product for a sofa, you should choose springless options. They are lighter in weight. An orthopedic mattress for a sofa will be an excellent solution in the event that it is not possible to purchase a full double bed.
The use of a mattress will allow you to ensure a comfortable and restful sleep without any special financial costs. And given the orthopedic characteristics of the product, you can forget about back pain and discomfort during a night's sleep.
