The mattress market is full of products aimed at people with different needs. One of these parameters is increased body weight.
As a general rule of thumb from manufacturers, if you weigh more than 115 kg, then you have specific support needs during sleep. Stay plump and comfortable at all times of the day, even during your night's rest. Below we break down the features that optimize performance in mattresses for people with increased weight.
Mattresses with perimeter support
Ever feel like you're slipping off your mattress every time you get close to the edge? That the mattress sneaks under your body and you risk ending up on the floor if you don't pay attention to the position in which you fall asleep? These suspicions were not a bad dream. Unfortunately, you've had the misfortune of sleeping on a well-weathered mattress or one without the necessary perimeter support - a feature especially useful in plus size mattresses. The perimeter support system is based on either the special springs within the mattress or on reinforced density foam materials around the mattress. In this way, its shape is maintained for a long time, while it withstands multiple shocks and high pressures, since the materials that make up your mattress remain in place, thanks to the reinforced perimeter barrier of the support system. Roll freely across the length of your mattress!
Bonnell spring mattresses
Staying on the issue of support, it is important to mention another important feature in mattresses for people with increased weight, that of the special springs that are responsible for the elasticity of the mattress as well as the quality of sleep. The best choice in this case are
Bonnell spring mattresses , the classic wire springs that have been used for decades in mattress production. Thanks to the high resistance of the hard material from which they are made, Bonnell springs offer maximum support to the body, while remaining resistant to time. They are commonly used in hard, orthopedic mattresses that provide maximum support for spinal support. At Orion Strom we minimize the annoying sound of wire springs in every movement thanks to the latest technology materials we incorporate into their construction. So Bonnell springs remain an economical choice as long as they squeak like traditional springs!
Kevlar layers
Materials that can withstand high temperatures, such as Kevlar technology, are an important addition to mattresses for people with increased weight. If you get hot and sweat easily, you need a mattress that keeps its temperature constant regardless of the outside conditions. A cool mattress during the hot summer and beyond, ensures a quiet and restful sleep without hot flashes and interruptions. A real balm for every voluptuous body!
Ventilated mattresses
Even if you can't avoid heat and sweat, especially when the temperature soars, a ventilated mattress is essential for material safety and your health. Ventilated mattresses are the most suitable as they allow fresh air to circulate inside them and prevent moisture retention and the growth of harmful microorganisms.
Medium to high hardness mattresses
We left the degree of hardness of the mattress for the end, knowing that your options based on this parameter are almost countless. From orthopedic mattresses that hold the spine in perfect position to the softest anatomical mattresses that hug the mattress like a soft cocoon. However, the weight and stresses experienced by soft mattresses in particular can significantly strain them in a much shorter period of time than the intended life specified by the manufacturer. The result is that they bag easily, need to be changed very often and above all, do not offer a peaceful and restful sleep to whoever uses them.
Thus, especially for people with a plus size body type, we recommend mattresses with the maximum hardness they desire. Orthopedic mattresses are quite economical, durable and offer very good support to the spine. Of course, softer anatomical mattresses remain a wise choice, as long as they meet all the characteristics we have already mentioned.
