Good memory foam mattresses offer great lying properties and comfort.divides and supports body weight and provides less pressure points The blood flow not or hardly constricted body parts that have to sink a bit deeper into the mattress when lying sideways (shoulders, hips) are given all the space for this. Because at these points memory foam becomes extra elastic and therefore soft under the influence of body heat. Because the weight is well distributed, nothing breaks down and the blood circulation is not disturbed and the muscles remain smoother.good ergonomics, less turning and a quiet sleep.
Quality differences from memory foam mattresses.
The quality differences between memory foams are enormous. It is important that the cells of the memory foam can pass air through, creating the ventilating capacity.open cell structure has which allows the mattress Ventilation.
Density of memory foam.
Density means (cell) density. In the case of memory foam, this is expressed in kg of carbendazim per cubic metre (m3).
The cell density is very important in relation to the Ventilation and moisture-permeable power. At high density, cell density increases, cells shrink and the breathability decreases.
Medically qualified memory foam.
Medically qualified memory foam has, as usual, a density from around the 50 kg. Slow foam used for medical purposes good ventilation because of 24 hours use, otherwise you just work decubitus (lay through) in the hand. Such a mattress can you here (visco 50, soft)
Only when a patient needs to be fixed, for example on an operating table or if a patient is allowed to move as little as possible, will high density be used. here (visco 85, solid)
In hospitals, burn centres and nursing homes memory foam has been used successfully for years.pressure lowering action prevents decubitus (lay-through) Because the weight of the body on the mattress is distributed very well, the blood flow is better and you need to turn someone less quickly. When lying sideways it joins to the hips and shoulders that are well supported. When back lying the pelvis tilts slightly and there is support in the loins.
Decubitus comes in different degrees:
- Grade 1: Non-compressible redness in intact skin. Heat, oedema, hardening and pain may also occur.
- Grade 2: Loss of part of the skin layer (excoriation) or blister.
- Grade 3: Loss of the entire skin layer. Subcutaneous fat may be visible, but bone, tendons and muscles are not exposed. There may be trauma.
- Grade 4: Loss of a complete tissue layer and bone, tendon or muscle visible. Often there is also undermining or subtunneling of intact skin.
For all these degrees, a density of around 50 kg is recommended.
Such a mattress you can here (visco 50, soft)
Difference between memory foam and cold foam.
In the case of memory foam, it is not like cold foam that a higher density is much more expensive or better. It is hardly important in terms of price because the production process is especially costly for memory foam. The production process takes more than 10 times as long as for example with cold foam.
With Cold foam Is it true that the higher the density, the higher the resilience The longer the life and the better the quality is.
With memory foam works differently 85 kg/m3 is the highest density The memory foam is then heavy, slow and rather warm. 20 kg/m3 is too soft (fluffy).Density of between 40 kg/m3 and 60 kg/ m3 is a good The Commission's assessment of the situation ventilation, reaction time and comfort.
With cold foam and high density memory foam, turning on the mattress is more difficult. At high density, ventilation is also less automatically.
The life of memory foam.
The life of a good memory foam mattress is approximately 8 to 10 years.
Conclusion:
If you are a patient with decubitus, choose definitely a mattress that suits your needs. Should doubt, please contact us. We will gladly advise you.
