So, do you even want to know what's going on inside of your mattress and how its variation affects you? Comprising the quality of sleep and welcoming back problems can be avoided by choosing the right mattress. So, let's discuss further what's inside our mattress and how it ends up supporting us.
What's Inside of Your Mattress?
This sounds unreal, but many people don't know about the bed they are sleeping in. Dealing with poor sleepy nights and still don't know the reason? We are here to break it to you by telling you the types of mattresses. Let's start by discovering the layers it has.
-
The Comfort Layer: The main goal of the comfort layer is the same as yours: providing comfort while sleeping. Ticking and quilting play a major role in making the layer comfortable. An exterior layer of any mattress consists of a cotton and polyester blend. This layer is common in all mattresses, but a mattress with good-quality ticking and quilting lasts longer than one not having it.
-
The Transition Layer: This is the second layer that lies between the comfort layer and the support layer. The material used in this layer is for extra support and comfort. Versions of latex and micro coils have been used in this layer to make a fine balance between both layers it is situated in.
- The Support Layer: This is the last layer made up of materials like heavy hitters for bed support. We all know the foundation is the key to any successful thing, so this layer has been made with extra attention by using either springs and coils or foam. The quality of spring and coils below the padding should be of good quality, as that will impact the mattress overall.
Parts of the Mattress
Each component holds its part so strongly that each and every one's quality ends up impacting the quality of the mattress. Let's explore the parts our mattress is made up of.
Ticking and Quilting
This is the outermost part of your mattress, which you cover from your bedsheets. Although this is not a separate part, but comes under the comfort layer, or we can say the very first impression of a mattress on its buyers. We do not have enough knowledge about mattresses, but when we visit to buy one, then, at first, we just touch and judge the material it's made up of.
Innersprings/ Coils
This has the function of providing support and can be found in inner layers or hybrid mattresses. It is also made up of steel and then combined with comfort layers like latex, polyfoam, or natural fibers to give extra support and comfort. Bonnell, offset, continuous, and pocketed coils are four types of innerspring supporting cores.
Latex
Latex is used for the support of a mattress. It's a rubber made up of synthetic and natural material which comes in varying fitness levels. Mattress having latex support has an excellent support and can also paired with other materials in the support ka yet. The properties of latex make the mattress long-lasting and comforting.
Natural Fibers
Apart from artificial components, natural fibers like silk, coconut coir, horsehair, and woolen are good alternatives for polyfoam, latex, or memory lane. Just like the regular components used in mattresses, they also provide excellent breathability, durability, and cushioning to the mattress.
Foundation
In any building to any mattress, the foundation plays a vital role in its making. Foundation elevates the mattress and extends its life. Nowadays, foundation too has a lot of variations, i.e., platform foundation, solid foundation, wooden box, wooden slats, and movable base. These variations provide different -different facilities to the mattress and make it comfortable accordingly.
Mini Coils, Micro Coils, and Nano Coils
Coils have been used nowadays in the comfort layer of the mattress. Mini, micro, and nano coils are significantly smaller than those used in innerspring and hybrid models. The main purpose of using coils in the innermost layer is to provide prominent support to the mattress and let its other layers set appropriately.
Conclusion
Comprising the quality of sleep should not be anyone's cup of tea. So, to escape these types of situations, you should make the right choice when selecting a mattress for your bed. Having the right information helps in the better selection of a mattress and ends up giving optimal support and comfort while sleeping.
