The most failed shopping this year was to spend more than 10,000 yuan to buy a brown mat in the middle of the year. I originally thought that the more expensive the better, but since I bought the mattress home, I haven't had a good sleep.
I later learned that there is no need to buy a brown mattress that is too expensive. And even if it is expensive, you should not focus on "brown". Let’s join me in writing and complimenting my new mattress while summarizing the purchasing methods of the brown mattress!
Choose Mountain Brown Don’t choose Coconut Brown
Since it is a "brown mat", we must first know "what is brown". Currently, the brown on the market is divided into mountain brown and coconut brown.
mountain palm, belongs to the Palm family plant. palm oil , palm tree , I believe everyone has heard of it. It looks like this when it grows ▽
Pull off its bark and gets brown. By treating the brown fiber in a series, you can make a mattress.
Coconut palm, we are more familiar with it. I believe everyone has eaten coconut and has also seen coconut shell . Coconut shell has a layer of furry and very thick fiber outside, which is coconut palm▽
Coconut palm can also be made into a mattress after treatment. But compared with mountain brown, coconut brown has short fibers. After making a mattress, the support capacity is relatively poor, and it is often a pit, and there is no sense of support under the body.
, hot pressing, not weaving
, after the brown fiber is processed, it looks similar to the hemp rope. How to make these large piles of "hemp ropes" into mattresses? There are also two methods:
One is hot pressing, which means using a machine to heat and pressurize the brown fibers. Press a lot of brown fibers together and press it into a mattress.
Another type is braiding, just like braiding a hemp rope, intertwining a lot of brown fibers into a piece and weaving them into a mattress.
The biggest problem with braided mattresses is that the density is too low and it is easy to collapse after sleeping for a long time. Moreover, there will be many burrs exposed outside during the weaving process, and you will feel a tingling when you sleep on it. The harder the
, the more expensive the more uncomfortable it is
The price of a brown pad is as follows: the harder the more expensive it is. The salesperson explained to me at the time: the harder the more dense the brown, the more raw materials used. At the same time, the harder the harder the pressure on the processing equipment, the higher the pressure requirements.
When I heard this, I quickly gave me the most expensive one - but I ignored one question, is we can sleep?
People often ask how hard my mattress is. At first I said, "It's about the same as a wooden board." Later, I thought about it and it wasn't right. The wooden boards were not as hard as my mattress, so I said, "It's about the same as marble."
The most important thing about mattresses is the support force. It not only can it "support", but it must also "collapse". When lying on a mattress, a curve that is the same as that of a human body should appear on the surface of the mattress.
The mattress that is too hard cannot produce the curve, and the muscles on the body are still tense after lying down. I slept on my side for a night and my body was numb the next day. The thicker the
, the more expensive it is, the less useless
The thicker the brown mat, the higher the price. The reason is still related to the amount of raw materials: the thicker the mattress, the more brown fiber you need to use, and the cost will naturally be higher.
The common brown mat thickness is about 10cm, and my brown mat is 20cm thick. Because my bed is designed with a spring pad and the bed is relatively short, a thick mattress must be used. Is there any difference between
20cm brown mat when you fall asleep and 10cm brown mat? When I bought it, the salesperson told me: There is no difference! The mat below 10cm may be too thin to prevent the unevenness on the bed. The brown mat above
10cm is almost the same when you sleep - note that the thickness of the brown is mentioned here. Some mattresses also have a layer of latex or sponge on the brown, and this part of the thickness is not included in this "10cm".
pads are more comfortable to add pads
The more popular one now is the multi-layer mattress. The support layer is brown or spring, and a contact layer is made on the support layer. The function of the support layer is what I said earlier, supporting the body.The contact layer is used to make the mattress softer to the touch. When sleeping on a multi-layer mattress, the short-term feeling is provided by the contact layer; when sleeping for a few hours, the feeling is provided by the support layer.
Because my mattress is too hard, I don’t want to lie on the bed and play with my phone during the day. Later, I followed my friend's advice and bought a 5cm thick latex pad, which made it much better after being spread.
Some mattresses will come with their own 5cm latex pads (or sponge pads). If I were given another chance, I would definitely buy this kind of multi-layer pad - at least it would ensure that I felt comfortable during a nap.
"granules" are completely a gimmick
I bought a mattress this time and found that many brands of brown mats will add a lot of particles to the brown fiber. The one I bought has latex granules added. There are also some, which activated carbon particles, sea salt particles, etc. are added.
Take my latex granules as an example: in my opinion it is completely a gimmick.
latex has good support force, but how much support force can it provide if the latex is crushed into particles and sprinkled on the mattress? Instead of doing this, I might as well buy a latex pad and spread it on the brown pad!
