It only seems that with the acquisition of a new sofa or mattress all problems end. Not at all, such a purchase is dragging along new spending, for example, the acquisition of a thin mattress pad. We'll talk about why we need a mattress pad and the features of its choice today.
Types of thin mattress covers
Speaking of thin mattress covers, it is necessary to distinguish products whose main purpose is to protect the main mattress or the surface of the sofa from dust, moisture and other contaminants and orthopedic thin mattress covers with a certain level of rigidity.
By type of base material, protective thin mattress covers can be divided into:
- Cotton - quite a budget view of mattress covers, ideal for people with a delicate skin and a tendency to allergic reactions. But, unfortunately, quickly lose their appearance and protective properties.
- Synthetic - unlike cotton ones, they retain a presentable appearance longer, but they have an unpleasant ability to store static electricity.
- Woolen - a kind of medical mattress covers, which help create and maintain a certain microclimate in bed. They are simply irreplaceable for the treatment of many diseases of the spine, for example, osteochondrosis.
- Waterproof - the inner surface of such mattress covers has a special impregnation or membrane, which reliably protects the main mattress against possible leaks. Such mattress covers will be a rescue for bedridden patients or children with enuresis.
Rigid orthopedic thin mattress covers are made of several layers of natural or artificial materials, and are used usually either to give additional stiffness to the main mattress, or to hide defects that have appeared over time, for example, springs.
