The best orthopedic mattress - Ascona, Consul, Dimax or Ormatek?

The load indicator per bed is one of the most important criteria when choosing a mattress, including an orthopedic one. The correspondence of this value to the weight of a person will allow you to fully appreciate the convenience of the product and its comfort. It is important to understand that the load is indicated specifically on the berth, and not on the entire surface.

Among the compared mattresses for sleeping, the most “load-bearing” is Micro Hard from the Dimax brand. The version from Ormatek is only slightly inferior, which can withstand up to 160 kg per bed. But it looks more preferable from the point of view of the fact that the manufacturer took care to indicate one more indicator - weight, i.e. allowable difference between two sleeping people. For Orto Premium Hard it is 40 kg. The rest of the compared models lag behind the leaders, but still show excellent load indicators from 130 to 150 kg. This is more than enough for most people.

A sufficient level of rigidity is one of the conditions necessary to ensure the orthopedic properties of the product. Some models have sides that differ in stiffness, others are the same.

Orto Premium Hard from "Ormatek" has a high rigidity and a well-thought-out design, but is one-sided. Good or bad - it's up to the buyers to decide. In general, this circumstance is not a disadvantage. Mattresses from the firms Dimax, Ascona, Consul and Dreamline are double-sided, but the stiffness on each side is the same, the maximum possible for spring models. But the model from Lonax stands out from those compared in that it has only one side that is rigid, and the second, due to the extreme layer of 2 cm of latex, has lower rigidity.

Mattresses based on blocks of independent springs are among the most comfortable and modern. More recently, most models had no more than 500 springs per bed, but now you can find much more impressive options.The more springs, the smaller they are in diameter and more precisely adjusted to the load from the body of a sleeping person.

The undisputed leader of the comparison was the mattress from Dimax, in which there are about 2000 independent springs per bed. The mattress from "Consul", according to the manufacturer, contains 660 springs per 1 m^2. Since 1 sleeping place according to the established classification is 2 m², then it is easy to calculate that in this product there are 1320 springs for 1 sleeper.

Three more Family Care mattresses from Ascona, Dream 3 S1000 from Dreamline and Cocos Medium Light S1000 from Lonax have 1000 independent springs per bed. In the name of the last two models, this is indicated in the title. In general, these indicators are also very worthy for sleeping with comfort. But the model from Ormatek is noticeably behind in terms of the number of springs per bed, there are only 620 of them. But the company uses a model of 4D Matrix blocks of independent springs specially designed for it.

Orthopedic properties of mattresses are determined by all the materials used in their production.And although in models based on blocks of independent springs, most of the space is occupied by them, additional layers also play an important role.

In terms of the variety of materials used, the leader is the Lonax orthopedic mattress. It has a layer of coconut 3 cm thick on one side, and 1 cm of coconut and 2 cm of latex on the other. In this case, the block of independent springs is insulated on both sides with felt.

In the mattress from "Ormatek", which is one-sided, on the block of independent springs there is a layer of coconut, then Ormafoam foam, which is close to natural latex in properties, and again coconut. There is no information on the thickness of the layers on the manufacturer's website.

Models from Dimax and Dreamline use a combination of coconut and thermal felt. The second material does not play any significant role in the orthopedic properties of products, but it is believed that it increases their durability. In the Consul and Ascona mattresses, in addition to blocks of independent springs, only coconut coir is used, but the first manufacturer speaks of its sufficient thickness of 3 cm, but the latter has no data on this in the description of the model on the site.

The highest mattress is the Orto Premium Hard model from Ormatek, its height is impressive 29 cm. It will be really comfortable to sleep on this. Length and width options are standard. Most of all, the choice of length and width sizes is from the manufacturer Lonax. In the line of dimensions, there are even options for cribs 60x100 cm. Dreamline has almost the same number of sizes. “Dimax”, “Ascona” and “Consul” have everything more or less standard, there are both single-sleeping options 90x190 cm and impressive beds 200x200-220 cm.

The quality of the mattress cover largely determines its service life, so when choosing a product, you must definitely pay attention to the material of the outer layer and its features. At Lonax, the cover is made of double cotton-viscose luxury jacquard with a density of 300 g/m². There is no doubt about the strength and durability of this material. Mattress "Multi Class" from the company "Consul" can be purchased in two versions of the cover - jacquard or knitwear. The first option is more wear-resistant, and the second is more pleasant to the touch. Only buyers can choose, but the very possibility of choice pleases.

Ormatek chose a combination of several materials for its one-sided mattress. Since the product is quite high, it was decided to make its side parts from durable furniture fabric.Top - from knitted fabric with a filler (density 400 g/m²), bottom - quilted fabric. It is nice to note that three standard color options are available to customers to choose from at no additional selection fee.

The mattress from "Dimaks" has a cover from jersey Aloe Vera. It is a natural material based on cotton, viscose, silk and wool. It is quite soft and hygroscopic, does not accumulate static electricity, and is wear resistant. Dreamline uses SofTech material for the cover - this is a knitted fabric quilted on holkon. Ascona says very little about the Family Care case. It is only known that this is jersey with Intense impregnation.

How long a mattress will last depends largely on the conditions and correct operation of it. A number of manufacturers confidently give a fairly long warranty, but not just like that, but under the conditions.

So, "Ormatek" and "Ascona" are ready to give a guarantee for 25 years, but only when buying a protective cover in addition to the mattress. It is difficult to say unequivocally how profitable this offer is, especially considering the fact that these companies have a standard warranty of only 18 months.

Offers from Lonax and Dimax look much more confident, which give a 3-year standard warranty without any conditions. Dreamline has a 2-year warranty, but additionally + another 10 years for springs and wires in case they are weakened or damaged.

The cost of mattresses of one series is largely determined by their size. Sometimes it can be higher when ordering additional options in the form of a removable cover, a window with a zipper and other additions that are not included in the standard version. To make the comparison objective, we analyzed the price of 90x200 mattresses without any additional features. The cost is taken from the official websites of manufacturers and is relevant for May 2022.

The most inexpensive of those included in our comparison is the Cocos Medium Light S1000 model from Lonax. At the same time, in many respects, it not only does not concede, but also surpasses its competitors. A mattress from Dreamline is a little more expensive, which is also a very worthy representative in terms of quality and orthopedic properties.

The most expensive is a model from Ormatek. The cost is partly due to the increased height of the product, and of the popularity of the manufacturer. The remaining three participants in the comparison differ little in price and cost within 30,000 rubles.Given the fact that this cost is a single size, you can’t call them cheap.

Although with a small margin from the nearest competitor, the most inexpensive mattress model from the Lonax brand wins the comparison. She won in 4 nominations, became the best in terms of the quality of materials and the case, as well as the duration of the guarantee. This once again proves that it always makes sense to look towards underdeveloped brands and manufacturers who can also make quality goods.

Only a little behind the leader according to Dimax estimates. He also won in 4 nominations, including the number of springs, of which there are 2000 per bed, and the possible maximum load of up to 170 kg.

The rest of the participants also performed admirably. Ormatek has become a leader in height and, like Dimax, is ready to offer a very impressive load of up to 160 kg per bed. Ascona, Consul and Dreamline cannot boast of a large number of victories, but this in no way speaks of their low quality.
