Hello everyone, I am GT_7, a home appliance digital field life home, like to experience a variety of new products or blockbusters, and strive to share the real feeling of temperature. Follow me and work with me to choose all kinds of good things with lower prices and better uses!
As a business traveler, the perennial travel and irregular schedules led to my poor sleep quality for a long time in the past, and I often felt that I was half asleep and half awake all night. In the past three years, for well-known reasons, I stopped traveling and began the state of WFH, and I also had enough time to adjust my sleep, and now I have returned to normal levels, and after having enough sleep, the whole person's appearance is different, plus the past two years have indeed been a bit "lying flat", self-feeling and friends have learned that I look younger than in previous years.
Normal people spend more than 30% of their lives in bed, and when I talk to many friends around me and friends on the station about furniture choices, many people will spend more energy and money on choosing mattresses, and indeed a good mattress can bring a completely different sleep experience.
I moved into my own small house from the previous year, a total of three mattresses, three mattresses are carefully selected and used by myself, the price and characteristics are different, I think they are very good, but also quite representative, this article will share how I choose the mattress, as well as some experience of using the mattress, I hope it can be helpful to friends.
Know your needs
No matter what you buy, it is very important to have a rough psychological price or budget, we must understand a truth when choosing any product, that is, we try to choose the most suitable product in a certain price range, and should not be "invincible" and "1000 yuan more than 10,000 yuan", the mattress as a "penny a penny" stack representative is even more so, how much your budget will directly lead to the direction of the next choice.
We also have to figure out our own and family's preferences for the soft and hard mattress to sleep, some people like hard board beds, palm beds, using a slightly softer spring mattress, memory foam mattress can not fall asleep at all; some people like to fall into it; different ages, different weights, and even different genders for mattress sleep preferences are not the same, so before choosing a mattress, you must figure out the real preferences of your body.
So how do most of us know our body's preference for mattress sleepiness?
On the one hand, it is the past habit, what type of mattress did you sleep in the past, and how hard was it?
On the one hand, you need to try to experience a new mattress, you may not have slept in the past, but as long as you have slept once, you will fall in love with it. People who travel frequently can probably know which kind of body they prefer by sleeping in different hotel beds; others need to go to furniture stores to try more, go to various brand stores to experience different mattresses, such as wearing a comfortable dress to find a time to go to IKEA to lie down, the purpose is not to buy a certain mattress of IKEA, but to know their body's preference for mattress sleep.
If you are a person who is also picky about pillows, then bring your own pillow, compare it with other pillows in the store, and try to eliminate the biggest factors that affect the mattress experience as much as possible, and more accurately understand your body's preferences for mattress sleep. Do you mean to say that it doesn't feel good? In order to sleep 8 hours a day in the future, more than three hundred days a year, it must be cheeky to do so, whether it is IKEA or other home stores, sales have long been commonplace to these, and many people are wearing pajamas to try, as long as not excessive exposure affects others, it is very normal.
Originally, I didn't want to talk about branding, because for me, a straight man in engineering, I am more inclined to "configuration", "parameters", "materials", "real feedback" and other relatively objective aspects. But when I talked to a female friend about this, I found that in addition to her willingness to spend money, that is, we often say "spend money to buy happiness", it also more or less affects the use of post-experience, which is a psychological hint, but it really affects the user's feelings about a product, so I will talk a little about the brand here.
My suggestion is that if the budget is sufficient, you can give priority to looking at foreign mattress brands such as Hystens and Simmons black labels, especially the Hysten mattress may be the dream cushion in the hearts of many people, it is more regrettable that I have not even seen a Hesten mattress in kind; but I often have a direct mail in the station in the past few years when I helped my friends buy two Simmons black standard mattresses, in addition to the size is not the national standard, the extra customized bed, the overall feedback is still quite good.
If the budget is controlled to within 10,000 yuan, I think there are still many brands to choose from, and the common traditional old brands at home and abroad, such as Jin Ke'er, Sealy, Xi Linmen, etc., have a reputation accumulated over the years, and the product quality and pre-sales and after-sales also have certain guarantees.
There are also some innovative mattresses that have developed over the years, such as perched detachable mattresses, dream lily memory foam mattresses, pineapple zebra air fiber mattresses, etc., which generally have their own "unique skills", using new materials or new processes and producing mattresses with special functions according to people's preferences and needs for mattresses.
Don't blindly choose expensive ones
When recommending many other products, I would say, "Buy the most expensive one you can afford." But on the mattress, this one-size-fits-all formula seems to have failed. So isn't the more expensive the mattress, the better? Right or wrong, aside from the brand added value and the impact of each brand pricing standard on the final price of a mattress, it is true that the configuration of the mattress is positively correlated with the price of a mattress, but it should be clear that high configuration often does not equal a good experience.
Take my own Kimker mattress as an example, the expensive style has a more complex filling layer, these filling layers can effectively increase the comfort and wrapping of the mattress, as I said earlier, not everyone will like soft and wrapped mattress, many people prefer a slightly harder sleep.
The same cost of making a mattress, the choice of different configuration composition will present a completely different sense of sleep; in addition to the different configuration composition, the configuration and debugging of different configurations also directly determine the support and wrapping of a mattress is different, including the choice of different elastic springs, the distribution of different elastic springs, the type of filling layer used, the order of the upper and lower filling layers, etc.
So since you don't blindly choose expensive, can you buy it casually? Or you're more confused about what mattress to buy. In fact, what I want to say is "suitable for yourself is the best", put your favorite brand or style into the alternative list, and then go to the offline store to try it!
Compared with blind selection, when choosing a mattress, I recommend going to the offline experience, even if many mattress brands will sell different styles offline in order to better sell, that can also go to the brand's offline stores to experience products of the same price or almost functional description, so as to carry out limited reference, my own three mattresses have been experienced by offline stores, of which Jin Ke'er experiences similar models of the same price.
Mattress structure
So how to choose a mattress as an alternative mattress? Or no matter what brand and price of mattress you choose, what knowledge you need to understand in advance, so that you don't see the mattress configuration description or hear the introduction of the sales staff.
A mattress often consists of the following parts: a support layer, a filling layer, and a surface fabric.
(1) Support layer
Common support layers are springs (individual bag springs, net springs), palms, and air fibers.
Palm is a natural material made of glue or no glue, characterized by high hardness, some people who like hard bed will like, but do not exaggerate the comfort of palm mattress.
Air fiber is a tall saying, its essence is polyethylene 3D fiber, this material has a looser texture than coconut palm, more abundant and adjustable elastic strength, breathability is also good, but now the use of this technology mattress brand is still less, belongs to a relatively niche product, the price is also more expensive, I personally will not consider it for the time being.
Focusing on the most used independent bag springs and whole mesh springs in mattresses, most mattresses now flaunt how many independent bag springs there are, so that we may think that independent bag springs are better than whole mesh springs, which is also strictly wrong.
The production process of independent bagged spring mattress is generally more complicated than the whole mesh spring, and in most cases the cost is higher, because it needs to use non-woven bags or other material bags for each spring to cover up, and then arrange, the spring and the spring are not directly connected, and the spring deformation on one side does not drive the spring deformation on the other side, which is a plus on the double bed cushion.
Some independent pocket spring mattresses use more than one type of spring, the different elastic spring reasonable partition arrangement can bring more suitable support to different parts of the body, such as the waist needs to be supported, in the middle of the mattress to use a more elastic support spring, the head of the bed and the end of the bed use elastic small spring, but I myself offline experience of several feelings This feeling is not particularly obvious, mainly in the support layer above the thick filling layer, before buying this mattress is best to try first, to avoid spending money.
The whole mesh spring is a whole, the interaction force between the springs, the overall sense is good, the support of the whole mattress is good, which is a plus on the child mattress that needs support; the disadvantage is that all the springs are interrelated, so the anti-interference performance is poor, the left side moves, the right side also follows the movement, which is a minus on the double mattress.
(2) Fill the layer
There are more types of fill layers than support layers, and they are more dazzling, here are a few common fill layer materials, and then you can give an example.
Common filling layer materials include: cotton, latex, wool, linen, horsehair and so on.
Cotton's different hardness and rebound bring different touches, latex is relatively mainly to provide elasticity and wrapping, wool/horsehair and other natural materials are also to increase the sense of wrapping, breathability.
The more layers of filling, the better the mattress? No, but basically the more padding layers, the thicker and more expensive the mattress. Understanding this can prevent being directly under the words "This mattress has N layers of filling layer" and directly saying that the order is not ordered.
(3) Surface fabric
Our People use the mattress basically will still cover the mattress with sheets, and even some cover the waterproof bed, I personally do not recommend, especially the waterproof bed will lose the breathability of the mattress itself.
Many mattresses are encouraged to sleep directly on it, the surface fabric is made of comfortable material for body skin contact, even if the bed sheet is used, the material is excellent to ensure that the entire mattress has good breathability.
(4) Others
In addition to the use of materials for the support layer, the filling layer, and the surface fabric, the stitching, hardware material, glue, and whether there is edge support for the mattress also more or less affect the use experience of a mattress.
Here is not to expand on the talk, it should be noted that a good mattress is also very harsh in details, stitching neat, zipper smooth, glue formaldehyde and other conditions are not exceeded the standard is a good mattress necessary conditions.
Last year, I briefly used a roll mattress, which felt very interesting at first, but in the use of it, I found that there were several problems in the later stage, and it seemed that all brands of roll mattresses had problems, one was soft, one was no edge support, it was easy to roll off the bed near the bed, and it was easier to deform it for a long time.
My three mattresses
In front of it is my own homework and experience of buying mattresses many times, and then I will see with me what is the difference between my own three mattresses, because they also correspond to different price points, different brand types of mattresses, and the common feature is that they all have offline stores, all of which are started after my own experience.
IKEA Felan and Kinkorn Nasha were purchased when I renovated my new house the year before, and the nudity π is an upgrade to the IKEA Felan in the master bedroom this year.
(1) IKEA Ferran
IKEA Felan is the mattress used in my master bedroom before, the previous price was 2499 yuan, this year the price increased to 2999 yuan, it was when I and my friends visited IKEA at night, found the treatment products in the processing area, and finally 999 yuan arrived.
Phelan as IKEA's explosive mattress, my friend and I bought a total of three, to know that my friend before buying Phelan is looking at a brand twice as expensive style, and I am looking at the light year of the fire in the station, and finally gave up and chose Phelan.
In terms of configuration, Ferran has the same price point of the more popular independent pocket spring, 3cm latex layer such a configuration, but the overall mattress is hard, in all IKEA independent pocket spring mattress is also a partial support.
The appearance of Phelan is very "IKEA", the front fabric is made of polyester and cotton, the wavy pattern is ordinary, and the touch is not comfortable.
The side gray mesh is a breathable layer, which can effectively increase the breathability of the mattress, but the design of the ventilation layer of Ferran is a little bad in my opinion, that is, the material is hard, a bit of a skin-scratching feeling.
The side of Phelan is built-in edge steel, but because of the design of this breathable layer mesh cloth, it does not look so structured from the outside, but in actual use, it is far more reliable than the rolling press.
Fran is composed of 5 to 6 coil springs, which are fully supportive, slightly less wrapped, and have a certain degree of immunity to interference.
(2) Perched as a nudity π
I have more time at home this year, and I am not very satisfied with the master bedroom Felan, on the one hand, the comfort is worse than my other mattress, and there is the treatment product I bought at that time, which is slightly dirty, so it has always been used with a waterproof bed, which is a bit impermeable, so I decided to choose another mattress to replace it.
Chance to see others share the perch "nut π", learned that the brand mattress can be disassembled by filling layer, change the feeling of sleep, just we have the brand's offline store, the scene can even be customized according to the needs of a variety of different springs and filling layer materials, after experiencing a few models, it was decided to start, used to replace the original Phelan is also an upgrade. The list price of the perched nude π is 5088 yuan, and the discount is 3738 yuan.
The nude π compared to his family's popular nut π added a layer of Dunlop latex, which to a certain extent increases the softness and wrapping of the entire mattress, and the combination of three layers of filling layers can present 6 nuances of sleep by adjusting the upper and lower positions.
There are two things that attract me in terms of design, the first is that the surface is made of square textureD A class waffle fabric, which is visually exquisite and very comfortable to the touch, similar to the feeling of high-end hotel bathrobes.
The second thing that attracts me to the design is the detachable design, which uses a 360-degree detachable structure above the mattress, which is fixed to the front and sides by a YKK zipper, making it easy for users to view the material inside the mattress and change the adjustment of the filling layer.
The entire cushion on the front can be removed, which also facilitates the user to sleep directly on it, even sleeping naked, dirty directly removed for washing, solving the traditional mattress cleaning difficulties, the use of waterproof bed and hot and breathable problems.
After disassembly, you can see the three layers of filling layers of the naked π: 2cm support spine sponge, 2cm Dunlop process latex, 3cm soft sleep release cotton, the three layers of filling layer are used in independent bags, the upper and lower layers can be freely adjusted, a total of 6 different sleep sensations can be presented.
Unlike traditional mattress glue that sticks to multiple layers of filling, nude π filler layer and bed body are directly fixed with several Velcro stickers, and not using glue means cutting off the health problems that may be caused by substandard glue from the root.
This mattress is surrounded by a butterfly-shaped steel frame, good support, the naked eye can check the structure, but also because there is no use of glue, so the mattress outer fabric in the adhesion is worse than the Jin keer mattress to say below, in the heavier people sitting on the edge of the bed can be slightly seen deformation, I feel that this will not affect the use of the mattress and the overall beauty.
I am the naked π of the soft sleep release cotton layer to the top, the support spine sponge layer to the bottom, the overall feeling of sleep is stronger than the IKEA Felan wrapping feeling, but the support is not bad at all, and if you like the hard sleep feeling, you can also adjust the support of the spine sponge to the top, soft sleep release cotton layer to the bottom, so as to obtain a harder sleep.
I personally prefer to lie flat on the mattress, the mattress for the body support, because the human spine is curved, so when lying flat on the hard mattress (such as flat bed, palm mattress), the waist is suspended; and a good independent bag spring mattress can provide a certain degree of support at the waist, naked π can provide a suitable strength of support at the waist, this aspect of the naked π better than Phelan.
When lying on the side, the main factor affecting comfort is the balance between the mattress for the shoulders and crotch wrapping and support, good support at the same time will not overly bring excessive pressure to these two parts is the premise, nude π thick filling layer so that the shoulders and crotch feel fully wrapped.
(3) Kim Kornasa
My family's Jin Ke'er Nasha is a one meter five specifications, but also a new house decoration time to buy, priced at 17699 yuan, discount 10099 yuan, to be honest at that time also did not understand, you know that the Jin Ke'er brand is good, this is the brand's more expensive model.
Although I didn't understand it at the time, but in addition to the expensive price, it was not a pit, Nasha's configuration was still very luxurious, especially the filling layer was very thick, including latex layer, ultra-soft sponge, the quality of the surface material and custom spring was also very good, the overall sleeping feeling was soft, and the sense of wrapping was full.
Jinkol Nasha is the most expensive of the three mattresses in my house, the surface is made of skin-friendly knit fabric, soft and delicate, but because there is no way to remove it, I dare not sleep directly on it like using nude π.
The thickness of this mattress reaches 31cm, which is because it has a very thick filling layer, although the specific parameters of the latex layer and the pressure-relieving sponge layer cannot be found, but I feel that it should also be more than 3cm.
The ventilation holes on the side of this mattress are much more delicate than the IKEA Felan breathable mesh.
Jinkol Nasha is the softest of the three mattresses, full of wrapping feeling, but this does not prevent its springs from effectively supporting the curve of the body, if you like the soft feeling of sleep, you will like it, I myself like a slightly harder sleep, so I prefer nude feeling π just from the sleep feeling.
※ IKEA Felan, Perch Nude π, Kinko nasha three mattresses are carefully selected by me, IKEA Felan and Perch Nudity π is the same as the store experience, IKEA store because of the number of people but more comfortable, the disadvantage is noisy can not meditate on the experience, while others are also waiting for the experience, so there is no way to try for a long time,
Jin Ke'er offline stores do not have Nasha this one, which is actually a certain risk for the purchase of such an expensive thing, fortunately, in the end, it is not a pit.
The three mattress sleep performances are: IKEA Felan is the hardest, Jin Ke'er Nasha is the softest, perched nude π softness and hardness between the two, nude π change the sense of sleep by adjusting the upper and lower positions of the filling layer, the hardest is closest to IKEA Felan, the softest is close to Jin Keer Nasha; support I personally feel that the three are good, but IKEA Felan is slightly worse than the other two in the support of the waist.
IKEA Felan before the price increase is a very cost-effective mattress, after the price increase I think it is still a good mattress, but the loss of cost performance; perched naked π removable adjustment of the sense of sleep design is very novel, the actual use of the sense of wrapping and support are superior, the quality of the material is close to nearly three times more expensive Jin Ke'er Nasha; if you like the brand of Jin Ke'er, and like the sense of sleep full of wrapping, then Nasha in addition to the expensive point will be a good choice.
summary
Thanks for your patience, I hope that seeing this you no longer find it difficult to choose a "good mattress" that suits you. I summarize the main considerations for choosing a mattress and buying a mattress as follows:
- Before purchasing, it is best to go to the physical store to test it;
- Not necessarily the more expensive the mattress experience, the better, but to choose a regular brand to ensure the health and safety of the materials used;
- Identify who the mattress uses? Themselves, husband and wife, children, parents and the elderly;
- Domestic brand mattress design, materials, workmanship, experience is not lost to foreign big brands slightly more expensive mattress;
- Some of the new concept mattresses can bring products that are more suitable for everyone, a better experience, or some are simply for the convenience of transportation or storage of goods.
I have not experienced the mattress myself can not be directly recommended, but welcome friends to their favorite style message to tell me, I will come with you to analyze the mattress in theory, whether it is worth buying.
