The purchase of a children's mattress should be taken seriously, because parents are worried about the health of the baby at the moment and in the future, and orthopedists constantly remind about this. Of course, the experts are right, and that is why an increasing number of manufacturers offer such a wide range of models.
Let's take a look at the details to consider when choosing.
Initially, you need to pay attention to the "stuffing". Orthopedic mattresses allow for the prevention of many diseases of the spine, since this is very important in the formation of the baby's skeleton. The essence of this product lies not only in the treatment and correction of deformities and defects of the body, which have already manifested themselves, but also in the excellent prevention of possible unpleasant diseases.
Children's orthopedic mattresses, both springless and spring-loaded, should be moderately elastic and rigid, have a comfortable and even surface. All these characteristics are very important for the body of a newborn baby, because he spends most of the time lying down and cannot independently take the most comfortable position for himself. If the child is uncomfortable lying, the handle is numb, or the back is lying down, he can only try to report it by crying. The orthopedic properties of a product can be expressed to varying degrees, because it all depends on fillers, their combination, and on the design itself.
What are mattresses made of?
If we briefly consider the design, then from the cover, fillers and base.
In addition, designs are springless and spring-loaded. In addition to the base, the filling of the product is very important, starting with the insulating spring block (if we consider spring models). Environmentally friendly non-woven fabrics, heat-treated felt are usually responsible for the functions of the hard layer. According to its properties, the canvas is usually burlap or non-woven.
Children's double-sided mattresses have proven themselves well, one of the sides of which is hard (made using coconut chips), and the other is soft, latex. Newborns, according to many experts, are well suited to the tough side. When the baby reaches the first year, the natural curves of his spine are already relatively formed, the bones have acquired strength, and the baby has increased weight, it can be shifted to the softer side.
When choosing products with various fillers for your child, be sure to pay attention to their hypoallergenic and environmental friendliness.
