Various partitioned mattresses are widely available in the mattress market, and opinions on partitioning vary among people. Is the specific partition good? How to choose a partitioned mattress? This has always been a difficult problem that troubles everyone. Firstly, let’s understand why there are partitioned mattresses?
This also starts with the emergence of independent bagged springs. After the emergence of single bag springs, people began to further design the internal structure of mattresses. I want to achieve a healthier sleep experience by utilizing different placement methods of springs with different hardness. This led to the emergence of partitioned mattresses on the market today.
Mattress zones are now mainly divided into three zones, five zones, and seven zones:
Three partitions
According to some sources, the three zones were mainly designed for obese individuals at that time. Due to the accelerated pace of social development, people’s lives have become more comfortable and their weight continues to increase. The comfort level of spring mattresses can no longer meet the needs of obese people. A hard mattress can prevent the spine from relaxing, while a soft mattress can cause spinal deformities and other issues. So mattress manufacturers allocate different springs to different positions based on the S-shaped curve of the human body when designing mattresses. Thus, there was a three zone mattress.
But the problem with three zone mattresses is still quite serious. Generally, three zone mattresses have hard springs on both sides and soft springs in the middle. The human body is a sunken U-shape. Long term use can easily cause deformation of the spine, leading to serious consequences.
Five zones
There is no specific information at home and abroad to confirm the existence of a five zone mattress. However, a five zone mattress was found on X Dong and T Cat, and upon closer inspection, it was found that there were hardly any human body segmentation maps for the five zone mattress. The distribution diagram of internal springs in mattresses mainly consists of evenly distributed springs. This leads to a fatal issue where two people of different heights cannot enjoy this partitioned mattress at the same time.
Seven partitions
The concept of seven zones has always existed, mainly based on ergonomics to scientifically divide the human body. Please note that what is referred to here is the ergonomic seven zone design, not the equally divided seven zone mattresses sold in the market. However, it must be admitted that Italians are the ones who apply ergonomics the best. The seven zone mattress designed by Italians is not the same as the normal seven zone mattress.
In multiple experiments and studies conducted at the University of Salerno in Italy, it has been found that the distance between the head, neck, and shoulders is not significantly different when the height is around 150-190cm, but there is a significant difference in the distance between the waist, hips, and legs. So Salerno University has teamed up with Italian high-end mattress brand Valflex to develop a new seven zone mattress. The internal structure of the mattress is mainly designed based on the seven zones of ergonomics. Using springs of different densities and softness to achieve more reasonable support for different parts of the body. At the same time, it also meets the needs of people of different heights and weights for healthy mattresses and healthy sleep.
Conclusion
Finally, to summarize: Is partitioning good? Okay! How to choose a partition? Depending on the needs and personal conditions, the three zone is suitable for overweight people to use alone, while the five zone and equivalent seven zone are pseudo zones. The seven zone should be selected in accordance with ergonomics. So which one would you choose?
