Bed

The standard bed is a design consisting of a back, side panels, foot wall, the frame (base) with a frame (bars) and legs. Headboard can be decorated with intricate carvings, painted with ornate patterns, have an unusual shape. Headboard is high and low or absent. Backrest can be equipped with the tilt mechanism, and, being made, such as frosted glass, represent a night-light, illuminated from within. Side panels beds (side-bar) is usually made of the same material as the back, but in some cases are upholstered in leather, suede or fabric. Especially popular is the interior sidewalls of the bed in Italy. Bed may or may not have foot-wall (footboard). No limitation on length is usually people like tall. Foundation bed is a lattice, or frame, which put a mattress. This can be either wire mesh (the cheapest, but not the best option) and a wooden frame with slats. An ideal base for the mattress - a plate of natural beech on a wooden or metal frame. The greater the number of plates, the frame is more expensive and better. The minimum number of sheets - 15 pieces for a single bed and 30 pieces for a double. Elastic and a striped mattress is desirable to get an orthopedic. These mattresses are rigid, semirigid and soft. The most severe latex mattresses are padded with natural resins. Soft mattresses with natural fillings retain their shape and repetitive movements of the human body during sleep. Somewhere between soft and hard - a spring latex mattresses, with various body parts for a number of springs with different diameters. Generally, speaking of mattresses, correct to speak about the orthopedic effect, which may be higher or lower, or it may simply not be at all. Orthopedics - an area of ??surgery, but not furniture production. The mattress can not cure the disease back, but it may help to better relax, relieve stress and fatigue, relieve the spine. The spinal column must be in its natural position, but this is only possible if he does not have any additional loads. To do this, the mattress should repeat all the contours and shape of the body. Too hard a mattress will put pressure on the spine, and too soft to give him slack. The closer to the natural position is the spine, the greater orthopedic effect. The only "orthopedic" mattresses water and air. They were developed in his time, for hospitals and medical institutions. High orthopedic properties of these mattresses are very quickly made them very popular. Nevertheless, the purely technical difficulties did not allow these mattresses to "win" a sleeping market. In air mattresses - a high level of noise the compressor, while the water - a large mass (up to a ton) and the problem of replacing the water every two to three years. Unfortunately, these mattresses are still exotic, like ours, and in the West. Latex mattresses are made of natural materials, latex, which is an extract of the foamed rubber tree juice. Dynamic and static characteristics of the latex, its resistance to environmental and durability make this material an ideal filler for mattresses. Air channels in a latex filler provide good air circulation. Such a mattress breathes, and its superior flexibility and durability foam and spring fillers. Orthopedic effect of such mattresses - Max. Producers also use various forms and combinations of latex with other materials. It could be two-sided mattresses stiffness (different stiffness in the face and reverse side), mattresses with a layer of horse hair or coir etc. More accessible (in price) from an artificial latex mattresses (foam). Spring mattresses are the most abundant and affordable. Spring - is the heart of the mattress. Therefore, from its characteristics depend on its quality. Poor spring quickly prosyadet, or burst, or simply do not provide the required elasticity and stiffness. Another option is making the spring unit - based on independent springs pocket. Used cylindrical springs, each of which is inserted into a special bag (pocket). Bags sewn together. The advantages of such a mattress obvious. Springs are attached to each other, so - do not creak. Such a mattress is no effect of the waves. " The technology allows the use of more springs of smaller diameter. Thanks to this improvement point elasticity, one of the main characteristics of the mattress. Under the point elasticity understand properties of the mattress snugly to the body and bend in the field of point loads. Mattresses with low point elasticity form a cavity and can not be good enough to support the body, and hence the spine. The second important advantage of mattresses - the possibility of using springs of different stiffness, which maximizes the orthopedic effect. And what is there inside him? Filler - this is what is between the springs and upholstery fabric. The main function of filler - the redistribution of the load and giving the mattress extra properties (hardness or softness). The main materials used as flooring: batting, felt, foam rubber, latex, horsehair, coir. Filler is the worst batting (cotton or wool wool) because of low elasticity, and susceptibility to pilling. Foam has a sufficiently high elasticity properties (especially lateksoobraznye brand foam). But too often manufacturers use cheaper brands of low-density foam. Such foam quickly "sags" and crumbles. Very often, producers, through the use of foam rubber filler, artificially increase the thickness of the mattress. Another drawback - foam absorbs moisture. Latex and horsehair until recently were considered the best fillers. But many people have horse hair can cause allergies. Therefore, in recent years, a growing number of manufacturers replace the horsehair on coir. Although there are some "buts". As a rule, used coir very poor quality, because then the mattress would be very expensive. The bad is based on phenolic adhesives (as a consequence can cause allergies or just hum), and on the elasticity is an order of magnitude worse than even felt, not to mention the fact that after a while begins to crumble, and maybe even as a brush to get out through the upholstery material outward. Nicest (and most expensive) mattresses are upholstery jacquard fabrics. If Jacquard present, it has a high density of weaving yarn. Such fabric - strong and durable. Best of all, if the Belgian jacquard. To confirm as a material, try a little stretch or rub the fabric. If she immediately became a "nap" or "beat current" means - poor quality. Depending on the used yarn, fabrics can be: HB (100%), synthetic (100%) and mixed (any percentage). CB tissue - a more pleasant and comfortable, and synthetic fabrics - a stronger and more durable. The optimum ratio of 60% cotton and 40% synthetics. Not recommended to buy a mattress with upholstery made of synthetic fabrics. Sleep on this mattress is not very nice. In no event should not buy mattresses, which are used for upholstery flock. After a flock mattress does not "breathe" and is moisture. Mattresses can be made in two versions: quilted and buttonholes. In the quilted version of the upholstery fabric quilted together with synthetic padding and interlining. It also can be quilted and filler (in the event that materials are used, the structure which allows migration, for example - batting). In buttonholes version upholstery fabrics do not whip, and for fixing the soft layer of filler is used lace with two buttons. The quality of mattresses below due to the fact that the scheme of mounting buttons does not fix the flooring material and it can migrate. Bed for a child to a choice of bed for a child's approach should be more careful: in addition to the main selection criteria should take into consideration the safety factors, and the inevitable growth of a loved Chad. Cot for the little family member should have a high back and sides safe from all sorts of rods and bars, well ventilated and be made from environmentally friendly materials: frame - made of solid wood and wood veneer or high-quality boards, mattress - with natural fillers (from algae , coconut, or a simple straw) and a covering of wool or cotton. In modern bed can be called a structure in which the sleeper is located on the top tier, and its lower part is a desktop connected to a small closet. In a fashion as bunk beds, and sometimes buy them, not only those families in which two children, but couples with one child. Free bunk becomes a new place for children to play in the future - who knows ... the upper bunk must have high bumpers or stops and stairs at the "second floor" - the handrails. The bottom line - total absence of sharp corners (this applies to all children's furniture). It is best to buy a bed out of lumber and plywood. Wood (pine, alder, etc.) in the solid parts of the bed is the key to your child's health. If you liked the bed with a base of particle board, ask the seller the appropriate health certificate and make sure that the stove does not emit formaldehyde (the indicator should go to zero - E0). The mattress is also desirable to select a padded top and filled inside with natural materials. In extreme cases, suitable and environmentally friendly synthetic materials such as polyurethane (PUR) foam for filling. Make sure that none of the components of the bed did not cause the child's allergy. Approach to choosing a bed with all the responsibility, you thereby provides not only a good dream, but as a consequence, a good "climate" in the family. Because of the already difficult to reconcile with the idea that half of my life will oversleep. Let these half-life will be held in the viewing of pleasant dreams on a comfortable mattress in the pet bed.
