Healthy and restful sleep is influenced by many factors: the stress that appears in our everyday life, the temperature of the room, comfortable clothing and, of course, the quality of our mattress. In order to achieve a relaxing sleep, it is essential to choose the most suitable mattress for us: what size should it be, what material should it be made of and what should its structure be? Should we choose a sprung one, one made of foam, one or two people? Our goal is for everyone to find the perfect mattress for them, which is why our range of mattresses suitable for all age groups and body types, manufactured with the most modern technologies, help to improve the quality of life of our customers.

What is a good mattress?

When standing and sitting, a great burden is placed on our spine: the vertebrae are compressed in this case. Only in a lying position, when sleeping, is it possible for our spine to relax properly. The spine should be imagined as a dynamic, flexible column, which is made up of vertebrae, discs, tendons and ligaments, and has three natural bends (cervical, dorsal and lumbar spine sections).

Ideally, in a lying position, the spinal column elongates and the vertebrae move away from each other, thereby optimizing the supply of nutrients and fluid circulation. However, only a mattress that adapts to its natural shape can effectively relieve the elastic spine in this way, thereby preventing the formation of pressure points that deform it and cause pain in the morning.

What exactly is a mattress?

If we want to put it very officially, a mattress is nothing more than a mattress pad or mattress made of all kinds of materials, filled with different covers, in order to create a place to sleep. It is interesting that the word itself comes from the Arabic word matrah ( "place where something was thrown", taraha = "throws, sows, hurls"), and it spread in very large numbers during the Crusades with the help of the Arabs, who slept on bunks thrown on the ground .

Looking back even earlier, mattresses, which can be called mattresses, appeared in the houses of the Romans: they were actually still stuffed sacks, which usually contained hay, wool, and feathers in the case of the more sophisticated citizens. Today, of course, mattresses are made from much more sophisticated materials, with structures and compositions based on research and science, but the essence has been the same for centuries - the most comfortable sleep possible.

Today's mattresses are made of many types of materials - with even more layers. In itself, there is no such thing as a perfect material, rather the properties of the materials used (such as the density of the foam material, the number of springs, etc.) and the composition of the mattress (the thickness and ratio of the individual layers in comparison to each other) show how comfortable and shape-retaining the bed cover will be.

What is a mattress made of?

There are many types of mattresses (we will tell you all the important things about them below), and they are all made of different materials. In general, it can be stated that all mattresses are built up of layers. In the center of spring mattresses is a so-called core. This is actually the middle layer, which basically determines the hardness, support and support of the mattress. To this day, the types of mattresses equipped with a spring core are very common, as they can be turned over due to their symmetrical structure, thus increasing their lifespan. There are several types of this: the best known are bag, LFK and bonell spring mattresses.

• Bonell: Bonell springs are hourglass-shaped springs made of thick wire - they provide a durable, stable and solid surface at an affordable price.

• LFK : LFK springs are cylindrical, smaller and thinner than bonell springs. An LFK spring mattress has more support points than a bonell mattress because it has more springs, so it fits better to the contours of the body.

• Bag springs: Each spring is in a special, closed, separate bag to reduce wear, noise and movement in the mattress. It adapts perfectly to the contours of the body thanks to its many support points, thus providing excellent comfort.

These spring systems can be wrapped and layered in several protective layers, which can also be made of different materials.

• Memory foam: Flexible material that adapts perfectly to the contours of the body, provides unparalleled support and can prevent blood circulation problems, muscle and joint pain.

• Latex: Only used in some more advanced mattress solutions: it breathes well, provides support and flexibility, a good choice if you tend to sweat.

• Coconut: A natural material that provides good ventilation and support.

• Shaped purfoam: Used in many models, as the material easily wicks away moisture from the skin.

• Comfort+ foam: Flexible foam that provides extra protection as it sinks deeper into the mattress and follows the shape of the body.

Foam mattresses represent a simple type of mattress that can be placed in the bed frame. The most defining element of mattresses is the foam core, which can consist of the following materials.

• Latex: It breathes well, which means it dissipates body heat.

• Purfoam sponge: Purfoam sponge is a very popular type of foam that is available in several hardnesses and densities.

• Highly flexible foam: Highly flexible foam is also a foam sponge, but heavier and more flexible, and also provides great support for the body.

• Memory foam: Memory foam is a high-quality product that follows the natural contours of the body and prevents blood circulation problems, muscle and joint pain.

• Comfort+ foam: Follows the shape of the body, provides extra comfort as it sinks deeper into the mattress.

Types of mattresses

Everyone needs undisturbed, calm and quality sleep. We can only handle everyday stress and tension if we can sleep through the night and wake up rested the next day. Over the past nearly 50 years, the most modern mattress manufacturing technologies have been developed so that customers can sleep really restfully.

At Yatas Bedding , we know that people's expectations regarding mattresses are diverse, so over the years we have tried to satisfy most customer needs. Among our products, those who like soft, semi-hard or hard mattresses will find what they are looking for. Thanks to our various mattress production technologies, our customers can choose between spring, pocket spring, foam or even hybrid mattresses.

What suits you best is entirely determined by personal preferences: are you looking for a single or double mattress, how much do you weigh, do you have any health or posture problems, and what position do you sleep in the most? Let's see which mattress has the biggest advantages and disadvantages.

Spring mattresses

Spring mattresses have been available since the middle of the 19th century and are considered the greatest classics of mattress types to this day. The frame or core of spring mattresses is provided by galvanized steel springs. According to the shape and design of the springs, we distinguish three quality levels: bonell springs , bag springs and barrel bag springs. With regard to the quality and surface and point elasticity of spring mattresses, it is definitely true that the more units of spring are incorporated, the more "sophisticated" and high-quality the spring mattress is.

Yatas Bedding TIP: Mattresses developed with the technology of our Ergocoil® spring system have twice as many springs as conventional ones, so they offer twice as much comfort compared to other spring mattresses. Ergocoil springs do not lose their shape even after 240,000 presses. Thanks to its structure, the spring system does not deform and remains just as quiet over the years.

Our Hi-Low intelligent spring system is made up of a combination of two sizes, high and low springs. The high springs provide even support, the lower ones ensure the ideal curvature of the spine. As the high springs are compressed, the low springs are also activated. Thus, each spring works at the same time exactly where the body needs support and offers perfect spinal support regardless of body profile.

Each spring mattress consists of several layers, consisting of a spring core, a wadding or felt protective layer, and a sealing pillow layer, and the whole is covered by a mattress cover. Starting with bonell spring mattresses, the characteristic feature of all spring mattresses is their excellent air permeability, which makes mold formation almost impossible, and is especially ideal for people who sweat a lot. The spring mattress should not be used with adjustable bed frames, as the spring core makes it less flexible and flexible, and the structure of the mattress may be damaged. The big advantage of spring mattresses is that they are robust, durable and have an exceptionally long service life.

• Bonell spring mattress: This is the simplest form of spring mattresses. The steel springs have a relatively strong design, and the springs are spirally connected to each other. Since bonell spring mattresses usually have fewer springs than other spring mattresses, they are the most affordable spring mattresses. The relatively wide hollow parts between the springs are usually filled with padding or foam to prevent noise during movement. The main feature of bonell spring mattresses is surface elasticity - they react in different ways depending on the load. With a low body weight, the load is small, so the suspension seems softer than with a heavier load due to a higher body weight.

• Pocket sprung mattress: We talk about this type when the springs are individually sewn into small fabric pockets. In contrast to simple spring mattresses, these mattresses have very good ponteelasticity, as only the spring that is affected by the load is always compressed due to the individual bags. The properties of the type are explained in detail below.

• Barrel bag spring mattress: The word "barrel" here refers to the hollow shape of the steel springs, which are thus much more flexible than the shaped springs of other spring mattresses. Because they fit perfectly to the body, they are also ideal for people with back pain or other special ailments.

Pocket sprung mattresses

In bag-spring mattresses, also known as bag-spring mattresses, the springs are packed separately in small bags, so they can move independently and distribute body weight evenly. When you lie down on the mattress, only the springs that are really under pressure sink in. Thanks to this, for example, our partner will not perceive the discomfort caused by our movements, and both parties can sleep peacefully. The bag spring adapts better to the shape of the body, thus protecting the spine and vertebrae, and the layer of memory foam located above it can provide us with sufficient softness.

When buying a pocket sprung mattress , pay attention to the number of springs, the diameter of the spring, its thickness, height and the quality of its raw material. These are the main aspects that determine the comfort and lifespan of the mattress. For example, how well the mattress will adapt to our body is determined by the number and thickness of the springs. Most of the manufacturers indicate a spring number between 1000 and 2000 pcs as ideal, however, basically determining the body weight and sleeping position helps to determine which spring density is worth choosing. A higher number of springs is not always a better choice, because, for example, lying on your side can make your mattress feel harder with an average body weight.

The thickness of the springs and the wire must also be taken into account, as these factors influence how tight and hard our mattress will be. The thicker the spring wire, the harder it is to compress the mattress, which makes the mattress harder. The thickness of the pocket spring wire usually ranges from 1.2 mm to 2.1 mm, but we can make our mattress even more comfortable with different comfort layers. These can also be very diverse: from cold foams to memory foams to latex, we can choose a variety of comfort layers according to our individual needs.

Bag-spring mattresses also offer a good solution in terms of longevity - of course, their durability depends on many factors. It is clear that the better the quality of a mattress, the more durable it is. Weight also matters: a heavier person weighs more on the mattress than a lighter one, but sweat is also a similar factor: it is not good for the mattress lining, so we can improve its durability with a mattress protector.

Maintenance is at least as important: protect it from dirt and sweat, turn it over 3-4 times a year and vacuum it thoroughly.

Yatas Bedding TIP: Our double-sided mattresses with Woolmark® technology now have both a winter and a summer side. The winter side typically contains wool, which with its breathable texture balances the body temperature, calms the heart rhythm, and ensures comfortable and quality sleep in the cold winter months. The summer side of the mattress is typically made of cotton, which ensures a cooling effect in the warm summer months.

DHT spring mattresses

The DHT spring system is a patented manufacturing technology that we like to use for Yatas Bedding mattresses. DHT, double-hardened steel spring in Hungarian, is an exclusive and high-quality spring system that allows the mattress to keep its shape for years. DHT springs provide sufficient support for all body types and maintain the ideal position of the spine. The quality of DHT springs is excellent, and in terms of height and loss of shape, they have achieved successful results in international tests as well.

A very common problem with lower-quality spring mattresses is that the spring structure gets tired over time, and in this case it becomes fragile. If a single spring breaks, it will also affect the uniform structure of the entire product. In addition to the fact that a broken spring can tear through the mattress cover and cause injury, our mattress can sink and become bumpy - and thus make sleeping and lying down extremely uncomfortable.

However, in the DHT spring system, the springs are doubly hardened , which means that they are much more resistant to the load generated during daily use and will be more durable and stronger. However, this does not mean that DHT spring mattresses are hard! During production, cold foam and memory foam can be added to the top of the springs as required, so DHT springs provide adequate support and support for the spine, while the softer foam layer increases comfort and convenience.

Among our DHT spring models, Wool Sense Pro , Blue Star and Silver Therapy are hard, while our Athletic model is the ideal choice for those looking for a semi-hard mattress.

Foam mattresses

Foam mattresses are usually made up of several layers of foam of different types and hardness. Since foam is basically a flexible material, such mattresses can also be used in adjustable beds. One of the most important aspects when choosing a mattress is how hard the mattress is, which is determined by the type and density of the foam used in the mattress. Many foam mattresses also contain a coconut layer, which provides a hard and stable base. Foam mattresses are usually made from the following materials.

• Polyether foam: Also known as Purfoam or polyurethane, this is the most commonly used, most popular, flexible foam type. Mattresses of different hardness and quality categories are made from it. It usually forms a 10-15 cm thick layer in the mattress. The hardness of the mattress depends on the density of the sponge, which is given in units of kg/m³.

• Cold foam sponge: It is somewhat heavier and harder than polyether foam because it has a higher density, so there are fewer air bubbles in the structure of the sponge itself. Because of this, cold foam mattresses are heavy-duty and durable, and they retain their quality for a long time. It usually forms a 10-15 cm thick layer in the mattress.

• Memory foam: Memory foam is an innovative, modern material that precisely adapts to the shape of the body. It supports the spine well and reduces the load on the muscles and joints. In mattresses, it is always combined with a harder type of foam. It usually forms a 2-6 cm thick layer in the mattress. The thicker the memory foam layer, the easier it sinks in and the softer the mattress will be. The quality of memory foam is also determined by its density.

• Latex sponge: A latex mattress is made by foaming liquid latex with air, which creates a spongy structure that is molded. The result is a springy mattress with excellent support, which is very well ventilated thanks to the many small air bubbles in its internal structure, making it ideal for those who often feel hot at night. It has an antibacterial effect.

Foam mattresses have many advantages. They are able to absorb the shock waves generated by movement, so they are specifically recommended for those who toss and turn a lot while sleeping.

Yatas Bedding TIP: The pocket spring made with our FreeZone® technology ensures that partners are not affected by each other's movements during sleep. The bag springs are packed independently, so the partner's movements are not felt by the other party. At the same time, our Active Support® technology provides extra support and comfort, and the natural sleep movements it promotes help relax the muscles. This allows you to start the day energized and rested in the morning.

Both sides of some foam mattresses can be used: while one side rests and recovers its shape, you can sleep comfortably on the other side, and by rotating it, you can increase the lifespan of the mattress. Always place it in a well-ventilated bed frame or bed frame from the bottom to ensure moisture escapes, and after waking up, let the mattress air out for at least 30-60 minutes, so do not cover it with a quilt or bedspread until then.

A vacuum-packed foam mattress will regain its full shape after about 72 hours, and our bodies may need about 2-3 weeks to get used to it, so give it enough time!

Orthopedic mattresses

Orthopedic mattresses represent a special type of mattress. These mattresses are made of hard and resistant materials and are designed in such a way that they can provide extra support in the right, necessary places. They distribute the body weight evenly, thanks to which they prevent the accumulation of pressure points, especially on the back and neck. Orthopedic mattresses help with correct posture during sleep and ensure better blood flow.

Because of a too soft mattress, our spine is crooked during sleep, but the same is true for a hard mattress - only there, the sleeping surface can put extra pressure on our protruding body parts. The main characteristic of a real orthopedic mattress is that it supports you in the right place - without being too soft or too hard.

So-called ergonomic zones are created on the mattresses, the essence of which is that the shoulders and hips are allowed in sufficiently by the mattress, while the rest of the body is held up. Of course, this beneficial effect is mostly exerted when lying on the side, but of course it also offers a much better sleeping experience to those who sleep on their backs, because it also supports the lower back better. Many pocket sprung and cold foam mattresses also have such zones, so they are also considered orthopedic. If everything is in order, our spine will be straight, so there is no extra pressure on it anywhere. They usually have 3, 5 or 7 established zones.

Yatas Bedding TIP: In our ergonomic zoned pocket spring mattresses, the pocket springs are arranged in 7 zones and support 7 different pressure points. The bag springs work independently of each other, so they react quickly to the body's movements and always adapt to the body position. And our UltraWaist® lumbar support system provides extra support for the waist and hips. It provides the right waist support for everyone, regardless of body profile and age.

Mattress toppers

In terms of their function, mattress toppers can be used for several things. On the one hand, they provide greater comfort during sleep by compensating for mattresses that are too hard or too soft. Without changing the mattress, this is the most economical, temporary solution to increase the comfort level of, for example, a hard mattress. We recommend using a softer, memory foam mattress topper for a mattress that is too hard. Memory foam is a material that quickly takes on and keeps the shape of the body, thereby providing extra comfort and softness.

Another important function of mattress toppers is protection. The mattress topper absorbs moisture and sweat, so it doesn't get underneath. It can be removed from the top of the mattress for easier cleaning and ventilation. Some of our mattress toppers have removable and machine-washable covers, so they stay fresh and clean longer, and you can protect the large mattress from dirt and damage, thus increasing its lifespan.

Yatas Bedding TIP: The Adaptive™ fabric used in our mattresses acts like an air conditioner. By rapidly removing humidity and optimizing the feeling of heat, Adaptive™ technology provides individualized thermal comfort. And our Feran Ice® technology fabric promotes the optimal microclimate for a good night's sleep, accelerates the distribution of excess humidity from the surface of the mattress, which leaves the body through perspiration, and provides a cool resting environment.

In an emergency, the mattress topper can also function as a guest bed: simply lay it on the floor or the sofa to provide a suitable place for the guest. As a mobile bed, you can easily take it camping or camping.

Hybrid mattresses

A hybrid mattress is a mattress that combines two different mattress base materials in a single bed insert. The term originates from the Anglo-Saxon countries and mostly applies to mattresses that consist of pocket springs at the bottom and memory foam at the top, but in truth it can be applied to any mattress that is created by mixing two different materials.

These types usually offer various innovations and improvements to improve the quality of sleep. Hybrid and specialty mattresses combine different professional materials and technologies to provide customers with a unique and customized experience. Broadly speaking, the following more common types exist.

• Memory foam hybrid mattresses: Pocket springs, cold foam or bonell springs are usually used under memory foam.

• Cold foam hybrid mattresses: Cold foam is a truly versatile material. Almost any kind of comfort can be obtained from it. If it is made into a hybrid mattress, memory foam is usually added. There are also versions with latex on top, and sometimes supported with coconut strips.

• Latex hybrid mattresses: They are usually mixed with coconut, and are sometimes found on top of pocket spring or cold foam mattresses as a comfort layer.

• Hybrid coconut mattresses: We do not recommend anyone to lie on a natural coconut mattress - in any case, it is worth softening with some other material.

• Pocket-spring or pocket-spring hybrid mattresses: There is almost no pocket sprung mattress that is not a hybrid, since there is usually some kind of comfort layer above the springs.

Among our mattresses made with special technology, we offer the following custom-made hybrid special mattresses:

– Ergocoil Infinity: it has twice as many springs as conventional mattresses

– Smart Track: the world's first mattress made with memory spring technology, combines the properties of memory foam and springs

– Prestige Prime: combines DHT spring technology with solid foam technology, so we get a really hard, monoblock mattress

Other special mattresses

Other special mattresses are mostly made into medical aids, especially nursing beds. Special expertise is required here, since a bedridden patient spends almost 24 hours a day lying or sitting in bed, so the support provided by ordinary mattresses is not sufficient. The thickness and cushioning of these do not match either, since the bed frame of the special beds is also harder.

It is also not a minor aspect that for nursing beds, the ability to move at several points is an important aspect, to which the mattress must adapt, but for example it must not break at the points of displacement.

The two most commonly used aids are the electric alternating pressure anti-decubitus mattress and the sponge or polyurethane (PU, or memory) anti-bedsore mattresses that provide more even pressure . The surface preparation of the sponge antidecubitus mattresses is special.

It can be made of uniform memory foam, it can be a sponge with a pile-like surface, or it can be a mattress of the most serious category consisting of replaceable modules. In all three cases, the main feature is to distribute the pressure on the part of the body that meets the lying surface.

Effective electric anti-bedsore mattresses now have alternating pressure without exception. This means that different areas of the mattress become hard and then soft at different times, i.e. it inflates and then deflates. The thicker the mattress, the larger the air layer, the more effective the mattress.

The mattresses of electric anti-bedsore systems can be made of cheaper PVC material or more expensive but body-friendly PU (polyurethane) material. The pumps that inflate the mattress can also have special knowledge: they also have a pressure sensor and alarm, static and dynamic operation buttons, cycle time selection, and a care function.

Mattresses by size

As is usually the case with bed frames, mattresses also have the usual, standard dimensions. These are usually adjusted to the dimensions of the bed frames, since the two must match each other. In Hungary, the usual sizes can be divided into the single and double categories. We also find different single sizes, as we are not all the same, each of us has a different width and length of mattress.

And of course, the lack of space is also a factor not to be neglected: people often buy a smaller mattress because it would no longer fit in the room together with the bed frame, or they would not be able to move properly with it.

When choosing the size of the mattress, think about who you are buying a mattress for. Since the height and width of the mattress will give you the feeling of comfort, an adult man obviously needs a thicker and bigger mattress than a little girl. Mattresses generally start at a thickness of 15 cm and can reach a thickness of 30-32 cm, and 200 cm is the usual length, but of course there are other proportions as well.

Single mattresses

These are definitely the mattresses we want to use alone. Bed frames and mattress covers are available for them in the same way as for any other size. They can be placed on sofas, children's beds, in bed frames or on their own, depending on their type, they can also be laid on the bed frame. Of course, there are as many beds as there are bed frames today, so it is not surprising if the usual, standard-sized mattress does not fit in the frame. This can be observed mainly with regard to smaller beds.

The 60 x 120 size for a baby bed is common, but 70 x 120 bed frames are not uncommon either, for which the mattress usually has to be cut individually. Those bigger than this can actually be any size, but most of the time, parents choose the 70-80 x 160 size, because it can be used up to at least elementary school age, even the lower grades, without changing beds.

At the top, the needs usually change as well, not just the sizes. For those who do not want to change beds again, it is practical to choose the standard mattress size 90 x 200 for their child. The pieces that differ from this also have to be made individually, which requires time and an extra charge. As a single adult bed, the size 90 x 200 is ideal, but it is quite uncomfortable for two adults.

Standard dimensions of the most common single mattresses:

• 80 x 200 cm
• 90 x 190 cm
• 90 x 200 cm
• 100 x 200 cm
• 120 x 200 cm
• 140 x 190 cm

Double mattresses

The 140 x 200 size mattress can fit into small bedrooms, as it has to be folded quite a bit for maximum comfort. You need a version one size larger than this if one (or even both) parties move around a lot at night. With the 160 x 200 mattress, this is less noticeable, in this case we can stretch out to our heart's content.

In the case of the 180 and 200 x 200 sizes, we can almost feel like we're on a football field, since most people don't care which way they sleep on such a large surface. With this size, it is not at all disturbing if the number of people increases a little at night, when our child climbs in between us, since comfort is guaranteed in every way.

Of course, this also requires a suitably sized bedroom. Mattress sizes larger than this must be made individually in every case, as it is likely that the bed frame is not standard either, but individual carpentry.

Standard dimensions of the most common double mattresses:

• 140 x 200 cm
• 150 x 200 cm
• 160 x 190 cm
• 160 x 200 cm
• 180 x 200 cm
• 200 x 200 cm

Mattresses by hardness

Hardness is a property of the mattress that we must definitely take into account when buying. There is no one-size-fits-all guide to choosing the firmness of a mattress – some people prefer hard mattresses, while others prefer soft versions. How do the different degrees of hardness differ and what should we look for when choosing?

We must choose the appropriate hardness of the mattress according to the weight of the body. In case of higher weights, mattresses with higher hardness are generally recommended, while people with lower weights should choose softer types.

Mattresses are basically classified on a five-degree hardness scale (or you can find them with T or H markings):

• Hardness T1 : Extra soft mattresses, which are mainly suitable for occasional sleep.

• Hardness T2: Soft mattresses, mainly suitable for children or people with low weight.

• Hardness T3: Medium hardness mattresses - these are the most popular, suitable for most weight categories.

• Hardness T4: Hard mattresses that are popular among heavier people and for those who prefer to sleep on a harder surface.

• Hardness T5 : Extra hard mattresses that are also suitable for heavier people. It is not necessarily recommended for people with low weight.

Soft mattresses

These include very soft and soft mattresses, i.e. those marked T1 and T2. The very soft mattresses withstand everyday stress and at the same time provide stable support for the spine. They are often equipped with a cooling cover so that we don't sweat a lot at night.

It is suitable for those who like to sleep on their side , but also for those who suffer from joint pain and would be pressed by a harder mattress. However, a very soft mattress is not really suitable for, for example, retirees who may have trouble getting out of bed.

A soft mattress has similar properties to an extra soft one: thanks to its flexible surface, it offers a very comfortable sleep. It also supports the spine well so that you don't have to wake up broken in the morning. In most cases, you don't have to worry about the weight limit either, because it can be made from materials that can adequately support the larger weight.

A soft mattress is suitable for those who like to sleep on their side - the mattress gives way to the shoulders and hips, it will not put pressure on protruding body parts, and it is also a good choice in case of joint pain.

Semi-hard mattresses

Semi-hard or medium-hard mattresses belong to the most popular and sought-after category, as they perfectly suit the majority of customers. When looking for a new mattress, we always start the selection with medium-hard mattresses and, if necessary, increase or decrease the hardness.

The medium-hard mattress provides stable support for the spine , but also real comfort - it gives way to the shoulders and hips so that we can sleep perfectly without feeling pressure anywhere. This is a universal type of mattress, so it is suitable for side, back and stomach sleepers, as well as for those who often turn over.

Hard mattresses

Hard and very hard mattresses also belong to this category. In general, men tend to choose it much more than women. A hard, i.e., H4 or T4 marked mattress guarantees excellent support for the body and spine, and also provides comfort for anyone who likes to lie on a harder surface . We can easily support ourselves on the mattress when we wake up, because we do not sink into it. In addition, most firm mattresses offer a higher load capacity.

If you are looking for a mattress for a heavier person, choose a hard type . It is also good for those who sleep on their backs or stomachs. When you sleep on your side, you can put pressure on your shoulders and hips.

The last type included here is the very hard mattress marked H5 or T5 . Excellent support for the spine, but also a great help when getting out of bed. Recommended for heavier people - some mattresses can support up to 200 kg without giving out in a short time.

If you buy such a mattress because of the higher weight limit, but find it too hard, feel free to look around among the mattress toppers: you can easily soften the sleeping surface with these

The very hard mattress is suitable for everyone who needs a bed with a higher weight limit , but also for those who sleep best on a hard surface. It will mostly meet our expectations if we sleep on our back or stomach.

What makes a mattress truly high-quality and long-lasting?

As we read above, the mattress can be spring or foam to keep the spine in the right position, support the body and relieve pressure. Both come in a variety of sizes and strengths and can have comfort zones that prevent certain parts of the body from sinking in too much.

But how do we make sure that the mattress is of high quality and how do we preserve its durability for as long as possible?

We are looking for quality ingredients!

Above, for each type of mattress, we can find the material they are usually made of: before buying, let's see what layers and techniques the product is made of. Let's pay attention to the patents published on the manufacturer's website - these have also participated in international tests on many nights. If the mattress - or a part of it - has won recognition there, it will probably be really good quality and durable.

Yatas Bedding TIP: The Tesla® fabric technology woven with magnetic fibers in our mattresses has a positive effect on the functioning of the pineal gland, thus contributing to improving the quality of sleep. Our mattresses made with Celliant® fabric technology contain stress-relieving minerals, thereby increasing the body's oxygen level, preventing muscle pain and waking up tired; And our Tencel® fabric technology is made using fibers obtained from eucalyptus trees, provides excellent moisture management and thus balances body temperature.

How can we influence the lifespan of our mattress?

Mattresses should mostly be replaced after eight to ten years of use , but at the latest after fifteen years, depending on the quality of the mattress. The cheaper the mattress we use, the sooner we have to change it. At the same time, we can influence the lifespan of the mattress in many ways. The mattress must be ventilated regularly and vacuumed from time to time.

It is recommended to wash the bed slats once a month . The best solution for protection is a mattress protector. This can extend the life of the mattress by several years, since thanks to this you no longer have to worry about sweat or other moisture that can get into the mattress core.

Yatas Bedding TIP: The Fresche® technology used in our mattresses is a completely safe and environmentally friendly method that provides an effective solution against bad odors that may occur in the mattress, as well as reduces the risk of allergies. It also extends the life of the mattress.

How do you choose the perfect mattress?

The most important aspects to pay attention to are: what our previous mattress was like, how firm it was, what position we like to sleep in and how much we weigh.

Based on sleeping position

Each of us prefers a different sleeping position. However, most people don't look for a mattress based on how they sleep. Whether you sleep on your side, back or stomach, the ideal mattress hardness is different for each sleeping position. Many people who sleep on their side often experience pain in their pelvis and shoulders. This is mostly caused by the wrong mattress. For this position, you should choose a medium-hard or soft mattress.

This is because the materials used in softer mattresses adapt perfectly to the shape of the body and thus provide adequate support for the spine.

When lying on your back , the most important thing is that the spine is in the right position. If you like to sleep on your back, choose hard mattresses that provide adequate back comfort. The right firmness is a medium firm or firm mattress. Sleeping on the back is considered the most suitable, as the weight of the body is evenly distributed in this position and the pressure on the spine, neck and joints.

If you like to sleep on your stomach , we recommend buying a medium-hard mattress that provides adequate support and keeps the spine in the right position. If the mattress is too soft, the middle sinks in and the spine bends during sleep. However, if it is too hard, the spine is not in its natural state, which can lead to back pain.

Mattress thickness based on weight

The thickness of the mattress is very important when we are at a higher competition weight. When we lie down on the mattress, we simply press it in with the weight of our body, and some parts of our body can press in even more. In other words, the mattress needs a thickness, if you like, "depth" that can accommodate our body.

For an average-weight adult, a mattress of at least 17-18 centimeters thick and of good quality can already provide optimal support without feeling the unpleasant pressure of the rib row under the mattress. For heavier weight, a thicker one can be sold, depending on whether the person weighs, say, 100-110 or 150 kg.

We can roughly measure the hardness of the mattress according to our weight based on the table below.

T1	Soft mattress	up to 60 kg
T2	Medium soft mattress	50 – 80 kg
T3	Medium firm mattress	70 – 110 kg
T4	Hard mattress	90 – 130 kg
T5	Extra hard mattress	Over 130 kg

Of course, diversity goes hand in hand with high quality: we use a number of systems and patented manufacturing technologies that all work to improve the quality of sleep.

Patented innovative mattress production technologies in our mattresses:

• DHT spring system: DHT, double hardened steel spring in Hungarian, is one of Yatas Bedding's exclusive and best spring system technologies, which allows the mattress to keep its shape for years. DHT springs provide sufficient support for all body types and maintain the ideal position of the spine. The quality of DHT springs is excellent, they have achieved successful results in international tests.

• Memory foam technology: Versions with high-density viscoelastic memory foam offer a properly supported sleeping experience. The characteristic feature of memory foam is that it takes on and keeps the shape of the body, comfortably surrounding the body and ensuring undisturbed rest.

• Memory Coil® - Memory Spring Technology: Memory Coil is the world's first memory spring technology developed by the most advanced spring technology experts (Leggett & Platt) and Yatas. Memory springs have the unique properties of memory foam, so they provide a truly restful sleep.

• Fine Wire® technology: Fine Wire technology consists of small diameter and finely wired springs. This mattress manufacturing technology provides greater air permeability, so the mattress breathes better and provides maximum comfort.

• Propocket 2.1 spring technology: The Propocket 2.1 bag spring system guarantees the most precise support with all the positive properties of independently operating bag springs. An innovative mattress technology recommended for those who prefer a hard surface.

• Monoblock Solid Core technology: In the case of a mattress made with Monoblock Solid Core technology, the properly prepared, liquid foam material is placed on the DHT springs and allowed to dry. Thus, the mattress takes on a robust, hard and orthopedic form.

Among other things, we have to answer questions such as whether we share our bed with someone, what position we prefer to sleep in, what is our body weight - and we immediately receive the best mattress types by email.

Frequently asked questions about mattresses

Is it worth buying 2 single mattresses for a double bed?

We should only buy 2 separate mattresses if our partner and our own needs are really very different. Let's try to reach a compromise solution, because it is easier to keep a large mattress clean, we will certainly not "fall" into the middle part, and if we choose a memory foam mattress, it will only sag where we lie on it due to its point springs - in other words, it will be comfortable for everyone.

How do I start choosing a mattress?

How often should a mattress be changed?

Mattresses must be replaced after eight to ten years of use, but after fifteen years at the latest, depending on the quality of the mattress. If we use it for longer than this, the mattress changes its shape, which affects our spine. It is also necessary to replace the mattresses for hygienic reasons. The mattress absorbs our sweat, and the bed is also an excellent habitat for mites, where they can multiply very quickly.

What kind of bed frame should we buy under the mattress?

Choose one that properly supports the mattress. If the slats are too sparse, our mattress may deform prematurely.

What does density mean for a memory foam mattress?

Several types of memory foam mattresses are available in stores, the foam density of which is given in kg/m 3 . The average, high-quality memory foam usually starts at 50 kg/m 3 , a value lower than this is not really worth buying.

The mattress is uncomfortable: what can I do?

It usually takes at least 2-3 weeks to get used to the new mattress, so make sure to give yourself time to adjust.

Mattress summary

Unfortunately, we are still not fully aware of the important role our sleep plays in our everyday lives . Despite the increasing interest in a healthy lifestyle, sleep is still only a stepchild of exercise and nutrition.

However, when we are tired, we are not only more irritable and impatient - which in the long term also affects our social relationships - but we also make more mistakes and perform less well at work, and lack of sleep also increases the risk of road accidents.

Poor quality sleep can also cause many health problems. In addition to the obvious back and waist problems, we become obese more easily and have a greater tendency to type 2 diabetes. Our blood pressure may be higher, we will be more likely to suffer from heart and vascular diseases, and we will also have to reckon with a weaker immune system or even memory problems in the long term.

So it is in our basic interest to sleep well at night, as this allows us to live healthier and be more successful in everyday life. The first step is to assess your own needs and sleeping habits - and choose the right mattress !
