Traditional single and double beds are not available in every family. Today, many prefer to sleep on couch-transformers, arguing that the beds and mattresses are expensive, and the apartments are small. However, everyone without an exception wants to sleep in comfortable conditions. For this purpose, invented toppers, or so-called nadivanniki. Let's talk about what it is and how to choose a mattress topper for a sofa.
Topper for a sofa - features of a choice
The mattress topper is designed to smooth the unevenness of the surface of a drawout or folding sofa. This is especially true if your sofa in the unfolded state has deep folds and irregularities. They are well felt if the sofa is covered with an ordinary thin sheet without an additional mattress.
So, the topper is a very thin orthopedic mattress, which is put on top of the sofa surface. Unlike a usual mattress, it is fixed by means of special angular holders, and thanks to them it does not move and does not move during sleep. In addition, the topper will protect the surface of your sofa from the settling dust, accidentally spilled tea or coffee .
There are many varieties of toppers, from which you can choose any one you want. So, toppers are different:
- According to the filling material . In its role can act coconut coir, buckwheat husks, natural latex, memorials, holofayber, polyurethane foam (artificial latex), etc. Toppers are also popular for the sofa with polystyrene granules.
- According to the material of the cover. As a rule, the cover is synthetic or semi-synthetic (this option will please you with durability, non-wrinkle, it will be easy to wash and dry quickly), or natural, made from coarse calico, cotton, bamboo. This cover is hypoallergenic, easy to clean, and "breathes". There are also combined cases, where the outer part is made of natural, "breathing" fabric, and the inner - from moisture-proof synthetics.
- By density. Toppers are soft (usually they are made of low-density polyurethane foam, latex 6-8 cm in height or hullfiber) and relatively hard (for such nadivannikov filler is a memorial, coconut coir, seaweed or dense latex with the addition of natural materials, for example, thermoset linen) . Thanks to this you can adjust the rigidity of your sleeping place: make the surface of a too hard sofa softer or, conversely, more elastic.
- In height (from 3 to 8 cm). The higher your topper will be, the more pleasant it will be to sleep on it. The ideal height of the rider is 4-5 cm. Thinner models will not provide you with the proper level of comfort, and there is no topper with a height of more than 8 cm, because it's just an oddivanik, not a full-fledged orthopedic mattress.
- To size. Topper can be calculated not only on the sofa for adults, but also on a small children's sofa. Very practical are waterproof mattress covers with special antibacterial impregnation. They can also be used in place of
a removable cover on a regular mattress . - By the way of folding. As a rule, toppers for transformer sofas are dressed only for the night, in the morning the sofa is folded, and the topper is removed into the closet together with the bed. It can be rolled up or folded along the already planned folds. The best are considered to be twisting mattress covers - perfectly smooth and smooth.
When choosing a nadivannik, remember that some fillings of orthopedic toppers for a sofa are allergic. In particular, this applies to natural latex and coconut coir.
