What are premium mattresses?
Premium mattresses are the highest quality products that combine modern materials, cutting-edge technology and ergonomic design. These mattresses are designed to provide not only comfort but also health benefits to the user. They are the ideal choice for those looking for a mattress that promotes healthy sleep, proper posture and long-term prevention of musculoskeletal problems.
The orthopedic function of premium mattresses is aimed at supporting the natural curvature of the spine and even distribution of body weight. This minimizes pressure on the joints, muscles and spine, which is essential for the body’s recovery during sleep.
What makes premium orthopaedic mattresses special?
Premium orthopedic mattresses differ from regular mattresses in all key aspects – from materials to construction to health benefits. Let’s take a look at the main features that set them apart.
Use of innovative materials
Premium mattresses often incorporate advanced materials such as next-generation memory foam, latex, gel layers or hybrid combinations of these materials. These materials are designed to be not only comfortable, but also durable and healthful.
Memory foam adapts to the shape of the body and provides individual support. Latex is flexible, breathable and hypoallergenic. Gel layers help regulate temperature and keep the mattress cool during sleep.
Zonal body support
Premium orthopaedic mattresses are often divided into zones according to the support needs of different parts of the body. For example, the area around the hips and shoulders is softer to reduce pressure, while the area around the lumbar spine is firmer to ensure proper posture.
Ergonomic design
The Shape and construction of the mattress are carefully designed to support the natural curvature of the spine. The ergonomic design helps to keep the body in an optimal position during sleep, reducing the risk of back, neck or joint pain.
Hypoallergenic properties
Many premium mattresses are made with hypoallergenic materials that repel dust mites, mold and bacteria. This is especially important for allergy sufferers and those with sensitive skin.
Long life
High quality materials and precision manufacturing ensure that premium mattresses last for many years without losing their properties. This makes them a worthwhile investment in the long term.
Types of premium mattresses
There are several types of premium mattresses available on the market, which differ in materials, construction and features. Here are the main types:
Memory mattresses
Memory foam is a popular material because of its ability to conform to the shape of the body. Memory foam mattresses are ideal for back pain sufferers because they provide even support and minimize pressure points.
Latex mattresses
Latex mattresses are made from natural or synthetic latex. They are flexible, durable and offer excellent ventilation, making them an ideal choice for people who prefer a cooler sleep.
Hybrid mattresses
Hybrid mattresses combine the benefits of different materials such as memory foam, latex and springs. This combination provides optimal comfort, support and breathability.
Gel mattresses
Gel mattresses contain layers of gel that help regulate temperature and keep the mattress cool. They are ideal for people who overheat while sleeping.
How to choose a premium mattress
Choosing the right premium mattress is an individual process that depends on your preferences, health and sleep habits. Here are the key factors to consider:
Density
The stiffness of a mattress should match your preferences and sleeping position. Side sleepers usually prefer softer mattresses, while back or stomach sleepers need firmer support.
Size
The mattress should be large enough to provide you with comfort. Standard sizes are 90×200 cm for a single bed and 160×200 cm or 180×200 cm for a double bed.
Material
Choose the material that suits your needs. If you suffer from allergies, consider a hypoallergenic mattress. For people with thermoregulation problems, gel or latex mattresses are ideal.
Cleaning and regular disinfection of mattresses
The mattress is one of the most important elements of our home, having a major impact on our health, well-being and quality of sleep. When choosing a mattress, we pay close attention to its material, hardness and ability to adapt to the shape of the body. Unfortunately, we often forget that we also need to care for and clean the mattress regularly. Although many people don’t realise it, a mattress can become an ideal environment for dust mites, bacteria, mould and other dirt. In this text, we’ll explain why regular mattress cleaning is important, what your options are, and how to choose the best mattress cleaner.
Mattress Vacuuming & Knocking: Professional vacuums with a HEPA filter and HEPA bag must have an electric vibrating knocking head. This technology of KIRBY® / HYLA® vacuum cleaners makes it possible to remove surface mold spores, dust mites by dry method from the mattress surface.
Cleaning with special chemical cleaners: Professional antibacterial disinfectants and cleaners from the manufacturer and brand POTEMA® / Dr. Schutz® bring an environmentally friendly, anti-allergenic way to disinfect mattress surfaces.
UV-C Lamp: We recommend entrusting your mattress to industry professionals who have a UV-C germicidal mattress lamp. UV lamps that produce UVC radiation are designed to be safely used on mattress surfaces and other household items. The radiant energy of the UVC radiation acts directly on microorganisms that reside on the surface and top layer of the mattress. The disinfection process usually takes a few minutes, during which time the lamp kills up to 99.9% of the bacteria and other harmful organisms present.
OZON: we recommend entrusting your mattress to industry professionals who have the BIO-OZON® vacuum cleaning system. The disinfecting properties of ozone result from its ability to oxidize molecules in the cells of bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms. When ozone comes into contact with these pathogens, it disrupts the cell membrane or wall of the microorganism, leading to its decomposition and subsequent death. This process works similarly to the action of conventional disinfectants, but without the use of chemicals, which is beneficial for people who prefer natural and eco-friendly solutions.
In indoor applications such as mattress cleaning, ozone not only kills bacteria and viruses, but also mites, mold spores and other allergens. Its ability to destroy harmful microorganisms without toxic residues makes it ideal for the environment in which we sleep and rest.
Allergens, mold spores, bacteria, viruses and dust mites are not only a hygiene problem in mattresses, but also a health problem. But with proper prevention, maintenance and the right choice of mattress, the risks can be significantly reduced. Even the thickest sheets and blankets cannot protect us from micro-particles. Dust mites or moulds, which often number up to one million and produce allergy-causing faeces that settle in our mouths, noses, eyes, etc. every time we move. In addition to the allergy manifesting as itching, mucous membrane inflammation, bronchitis, asthma and shortness of breath can be added. This condition can be prevented by professional cleaning and deep dry disinfection thanks to UV-C radiation or vacuum ozonation of the mattress with thorough machine vacuuming and above all regular maintenance.
