MATTRESS FOR SOFA BED: INTRODUCTION
A sofa bed deserves a quality mattress, just like a standard bed, for several reasons. First of all, because our backs also require a quality product, and secondly, because it’s unfair to make guests sleep on poor-quality mattresses. Then, for those who live in a studio apartment, such as a worker or student living away from home, a sofa bed often becomes a mandatory solution. Consequently, the choice of mattress becomes fundamental.
FACTORS TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION
In addition to aesthetics, the sofa bed must obviously be highly functional. First of all we must think about comfort, in addition to the support of the seat and mattress. We must be careful to choose products that meet the need, in this case, for both an excellent sofa and an excellent bed, designed for those who use them daily.
First we need to think about what we want and how we want it. The mattress, in fact, can be made of different materials and with multiple degrees of support. We must be aware that, when choosing a mattress, it is good to consider that the sofa bed mattress is subjected to greater stress. It must, therefore, be given special care.
For example, it should be rotated often, and should not be left halfway open when not in use, so as not to compress the mattress, seat cushion, and backrest for long periods. Furthermore, we should avoid closing the sofa with quilts or duvets inside, especially if they are very bulky.
HEIGHT
Perhaps the most important factor, the one that catches the eye most easily, is the height in centimeters of the mattress. But before giving measurements, we want to clarify one thing: many polyurethane foam mattresses, due to the presence of different densities, must be measured with a height tolerance of ± 1% in their various parts.
In general, the reference number when taking measurements is established by evaluating the center of the product.
MATERIALS
Polilatex
Polilatex refers to the aforementioned expanded polyurethane, one of the best materials on the market. This, in fact, is of the orthopedic type and guarantees very high comfort, as well as various benefits for the back and spinal column.
It is an excellent economic investment, also due to its high resistance over time. It must also be said that the cost, although higher than that of other materials, is actually quite low.
Latex
Latex is another material often used in the production of mattresses, and sofa bed mattresses are obviously no exception.
It is a cheaper material than others, although the price often depends on its degree of rigidity. It should be noted, however, that latex is not the best choice if you intend to purchase a sofa bed mattress. The reason is quite simple to understand: since it is a material that is not known for its resistance, constant bending could easily deform it.
On the other hand, due to its very low price, many consumers still prefer this type of mattress.
Water Foam
Water foam is a cutting-edge material that maximizes all the benefits of a mattress. In practice, we are talking about a material that guarantees both comfort and characteristics such as ergonomics, breathability, consistency and durability over time.
It’s worth noting that water foam is also the most expensive material on the market, given its truly remarkable characteristics.
Among the advantages of this material are its anti-mite and hypoallergenic properties.
If you intend to choose a truly quality mattress, and you have a starting budget that allows it, you should always keep this solution in mind.
Memory foam
Memory foam is a high-quality material with strong hypoallergenic and ergonomic properties.
