Mattresses with the "winter-summer" system are unique mats that provide conditions for a comfortable and useful rest of a modern person. Their special effect makes them popular among the buyer. Such models have a number of differences from conventional counterparts and are distinguished by a mass of useful qualities.

Peculiarities

Classic double-sided mattresses with a "winter-summer" system have two working sides for different seasons. The structure of the mat remains unchanged, whether it is a spring or springless block.

The addition of the cover differs: on the one hand, it is quilted with cotton material, on the other, it is supplemented with sheep's wool

This changes the properties of the mattress, making it comfortable for different seasons.

They are versatile mattresses: they combine the best properties of single-sided mats and eliminate the need to purchase separate designs. The task of additional layers is not to vary the degree of block rigidity, although in one model the hardness of the two sides will seem different. These additives complement mattresses with a soft, moderately hard and hard surface.

Pros and cons

Despite the skeptical opinions of potential buyers, the effectiveness of the mattress with the "winter-summer" system is tangible.

Even under a textile fabric cover, wool does not change its properties: having "dry" heat, it does not overheat the body, eliminates the greenhouse effect, maintains the required level of heat, eliminating the formation of sweat.

It contains the natural antiseptic lanolin, which has antibacterial properties. Such a cover addition:

• gives the block surface softness and warmth;
• promotes rapid recovery from colds;
• relevant for radiculitis, osteochondrosis;
• has a low thermal conductivity, retaining valuable heat;
• allows the surface of the block to remain dry, absorbing and evaporating moisture;
• has a relaxing effect on the user, calms the nervous system and helps to strengthen the immune system.

The disadvantages of this layer include:

• intolerance to wool (the possibility of allergic skin reactions in the form of a rash, problems of the upper respiratory tract, redness of the mucous membranes);
• not resistant to dust accumulation (environment for the appearance of dust mites that cause itching);
• the appearance of moths without observing the rules of operation (it is necessary to periodically ventilate the unit, dry it in the sun).

The cool cotton side of the mattress, designed for summer use, has its own characteristics. She:

• does not depend on the degree of surface rigidity;
• is a hypoallergenic material of natural origin and is suitable even for allergy sufferers;
• hygroscopic, non-electrifying and moisture permeable;
• eliminates the possibility of a greenhouse effect;
• refreshes the skin.

The disadvantage of the cotton additive is the thickness: it does not change the degree of block hardness.

The advantages of two-sided winter-summer mattresses include:

• use of the system in mats for children, adults, elderly and sick users;
• compatibility with different block structures;
• addition of conventional and orthopedic structures;
• different cost depending on the price and the number of components;
• the ability to use not only seasonally, but also depending on the room temperature (relevant in the off-season);
• extending the life of the mattress (due to the use of two sides).

Materials (edit)

Both surface layers do not affect the structure of the mattress: in most cases, these additives are quilted together with the fabric of the cover that wraps the base.

The main padding of the block of mattresses with the "winter-summer" system are:

• dependent and independent springs;
• natural latex;
• artificial latex (high density polyurethane foam type HR with latex impregnation);
• coconut coir (latex impregnated);
• spandbond;
• flexfiber;
• synthetic winterizer;
• thermal felt.

In terms of structure, such mattresses are more often of a composite plan, although among the models there are many monolithic options (a children's line made of coconut coir or analogs made of latex).

The best type of cover textile is jacquard or stretch jacquard.

The best "winter-summer" designs are considered to be a block with independent springs. " Micropackage" and "Multipackage "and also springless mattresses with an orthopedic mat surface made of latex and coconut coir.

One-sided models

The line of mattresses with the "winter-summer" system includes mats with one working side. These are improved designs of the classic "winter-summer" effect, providing the desired degree of comfort, regardless of the season.

The principle of operation is explained by the special stitching of the cover: it is supplemented with a special fibrous material with a high oxygen content. Due to the presence of special hollow components, overheating or freezing of the user's body is not allowed. Thermal saving fiber does not detract from the performance and durability of the unit.

The line of such mattresses includes models with the system:

• Climat Control;
• Thermo Balance;
• Lux Comfort.

All varieties represent a special stitching of the cover with excellent ventilation, which prevents the penetration of moisture into the mattress.

Systems Top Comfort and Top Comfort Plus are anatomical American developments in the form of a porous elastic foam with heat-saving properties. The Plus modification is distinguished by the presence of special orthopedic cuts.

Lux Comfort It stands out for the fact that in addition to thermal fiber and foam, there are mini-springs in the block.

How to identify the warm and cold sides?

Find out where you can feel which side of the mattress: the "winter" surface is softer. If, after touching the surface, the question remains open, you should pay attention to the tags located on both sides of the mattress.

Usually, a manufacturer who thinks over all the little things, in addition to the name of the model, indicates a schematic drawing: a sun on the winter side and a snowflake on the summer side. In addition to these drawings, sometimes additional identification marks are indicated (drawing of a sheep, a snowman), intuitively explaining where which side of the mattress is. If not, the sides can be marked with patches: pink (summer side) and blue (winter).
