Visco Elastic Mattress - Questions |
|
|
1. What is visco elastic?Visco elastic is a synthetic foam based material that moulds perfectly to any shape when pressure is applied to it, and returns slowly to its original shape once pressure is removed.
2. Why is a visco elastic mattress better than a spring mattress?A visco elastic mattress:
- Is pressure point free
- Ensures correct spinal support
- Ensures correct spinal alignment
- Removes pressure from shoulders and hips
- Lasts longer than a spring mattress
- Minimises partner disturbance
- Is an open cell material, allowing it to breath
- Is hypoallergenic
3. What is 'zoning' in a visco elastic mattress?Zoning is when a mattress is staged in different densities to cater for different areas of your body. For example a mattress needs to be softer over your shoulder area and firmer over your lower back where you need more support. A three zone mattress will have three different densities in the one mattress.
4. Do I turn over and rotate a visco elastic mattress?A visco elastic mattress does not need to be turned over or rotated. It is left in its original position on the bed.
5. Does a visco elastic mattress become hot in summer?Visco elastic is an open cell material, meaning that air will filter naturally through the mattress keeping it at room temperature. This is provided it is on slat base or a bed base that air can get through.
6. Is visco elastic good for allergy sufferers?Visco elastic is anti allergenic meaning it is great for allergy sufferers. Dust mites can not live in a visco elastic mattress and as a result these mattresses promote good health.
7. Can I use my electric blanket on a visco elastic mattress?Yes, electric blankets do not harm visco elastic mattresses. It is best to choose one with thin wires or to purchase an electric quilt by Sunbeam.
8. Do visco elastic mattresses have to go on slat bases?We suggest all of our mattresses either go on a slat base or a base with holes in it to allow air to flow naturally through the base and the mattress. You achieve approximately 30% of your comfort from your bed base, so it is an important factor to consider.
9. What is the life span of a visco elastic mattress?Most of our visco elastic mattresses come with a 10 year warranty - however, they will last 15 to 20 years depending on your weight and how well you look after them.
10. What is the benefit to the special mattress covers?
- You can dry clean them to promote good health
- They keep perspiration off the mattress and you
- They increase the life span of the mattress
- Replacement covers can be ordered to freshen up the look and feel of your mattress
