stringent enough, so many companies and loss of self-discipline in the market competition,
there will be pollution mattress moved into the bedroom of consumers. To this end, the
reporter interviewed a mousse, hillman brand sleep experts, led by the consumer out of the
mattress consumer misunderstanding and to avoid the mattress in the process of purchase and
use of pollution.
Consumers are more concerned about the mattress is environmentally friendly
The Keung ready to replace the spring mattress from home for nearly a decade. Walk around
the mattress area of a large home stores, but she more screenwriters: each said the quality
of their mattresses, non-polluting, do not know which one should choose. According to the
reporter’s survey, 80% of the people attached great importance to the mattress of
environmental issues, but do not know how to choose good quality and pollution-free
mattress.
Learned after the reporter visited several home stores, usually in the the mattress
District will gather a dozen or even dozens of brands, brand awareness and mattresses of
different materials, the price from a thousand dollars or less to tens of thousands . When
the reporter asked a price of $ 5999 spring mattress is environmentally friendly, the sales

The national indoor environment and indoor environmental products Quality Supervision and
Inspection Center Director Song Guangsheng said that, the mattress pollution problems exist
in the bedding material and filler, and other aspects of the pollution caused in the
bedroom, the release of even more serious than decoration materials and furniture.
Consumer attitudes urged the mattress industry development

director of marketing Liang Zhou pointed out that the regular brand products will be
accompanied by security identification, instructions for use, consumers in the purchase of
the mattress when the need to carefully review the product specifications to ensure product

to lead to fierce competition has led some manufacturers to reduce product quality. Simmons
mattress Fan Jing, a senior marketing manager, said the cohabitation of the market, the
well-known brand products by virtue of good quality, reputation and become the first choice

Optional “misunderstanding”
The mattress is not more expensive the better
Myth: Most of the mattress selection of springs, foam, latex and natural materials,
different material hardness to withstand the force and permeability, and so on their own
merits. Some people choose the mattress that is certainly more expensive the better.
Positive Solutions: materials, the better the mattress of course the price is more
expensive, each person’s age, size is not the same, not a luxury or high prices of the
like, the most important. Best when you select the mattress can lay up to feel, a good
mattress is guarantor lay up, the various parts have a reasonable load bearing fitting
curve of the body, maintaining the spine’s natural state of the body to relax. thus enjoy a
deep sleep.
Mattresses to be moderate hardness
Myth: the mattress more rigid as possible, the softer the better. The old people always
said that the mattress the more hard to fall asleep more comfortable, many products on the
market hit a soft card. The mattress in the end the harder the better, or the softer the
better?
Positive Solutions: hard and soft of a mattress is important to note that of the consumers
choose to buy a mattress. The ideal mattress should be moderate hardness, perfect support
to live in every part of your body. According to body curves and weight evenly to support
each part of the body. Sleeping in inappropriate mattress for a long time will affect the
health of the spine, many people’s back pain but also because there is no election on the
mattress caused. Too soft or excellent bed will disrupt the spine’s natural physiological
curvature.
Avoid pollution of the fabric and filler
Myth: Many consumers assume that is nothing less than the mattress fabrics, springs,
sponges processed, there is no pollution problem, even if the pollution can be ignored.
Positive Solutions: spring mattress, high levels of formaldehyde appear in the bedding
material, followed by decomposition of the manufacturers in order to save costs, bedding
material to use high levels of formaldehyde cloth, sponge, formaldehyde easily.
When you purchase, try lying more than five minutes
Myth: Many consumers due to troublesome because of the sensibilities, buy mattress only sit
two feelings of resilience, or lying one minute feel the softness, it is easy to judge the
suitability of mattress.
Positive Solutions: buy mattress must go to trial lie at least five minutes alone to sit
and touch can not test the mattress good or bad. Try lying, the most critical to test the
mattress support is good.
The most simple test is to lay up, observe the body, especially whether there are gaps in
the neck and waist, or feel the body, especially the neck and waist are good prop.
Healthy mattresses to create high-quality sleep mattress is not more expensive the better
Buy mattress must try to lie down for at least five minutes.
The mattress to be changed frequently
Myth: usually given useful life of mattress manufacturers generally ten years, while
domestic consumers tend to believe that a mattress can sleep one or two decades, except for
the mattress surface is severely damaged, the spring run out or the entire collapse, will
replaced.
Positive Solutions: good material and then the mattress, the body weight of long-term
squeeze, inevitably elastic fatigue or deformation, then the body and bed fit the gap,
long-term sleep on it, it will have adverse effects on the body, and therefore should be
promptly consider replacing.
Industry argument
Mattresses use 6-8 years is necessary to change
Liang Zhou, hillman Furniture Co., Ltd., director of marketing
The mattress understanding of Chinese people in the consumer durables level, many people
even more than than 10 years are still using the old mattress.
With the strengthening of people’s attitudes, more and more people are starting to focus on
the importance of the mattress on the health, the experts also recommended mattress 6-8
years needs to be replaced.
The bedding industry has some shortcomings, mainly in the furniture product design
unscientific and unqualified product materials, dimensions and consumer requirements do not
match, to provide after-sales service and poor aspects.
The quality and safety of consumers of sleep every year great importance to the
increasingly high demands of home life, which all contributed to the mattress industry to
the development of more professional, more health, more intimate humane direction.
Solve the pollution from the start with industry standards
Fan Jing, a senior marketing manager of Simmons mattresses
Mattress market in different ways, including some rough work, the environmental quality
standards. Solve the problem of pollution of the mattress, grabbed from the root of the
specification starting from the mattress industry.
The mattress industry to achieve sustainable development, and businesses to establish a
brand must be high quality products, good reputation and social responsibility, but also
with the help of media and industry associations, business quality inspection departments
the power to regulate the industry as a whole. I believe that inferior products dominate
the market by low-cost competition, only short-term profit, not long-term survival.
The use of qualified raw materials and process
Xu Lifeng, Thailand Pu Pi Di Managing Director
Involved in the pollution problem to solve the mattress to the production of mattress
materials used and production process to eliminate the pollution must use the qualified raw
materials and improve the production process, can not go wrong in every aspect of a
production, so in order to create qualified pollution-free mattress. I think that the
corporate quality control, trade associations, industry and commerce, quality inspection
departments, like fingers, tightly hold together in order to play a strength, in order to
really control the pollution problems of the mattress.
Weapon
Good mattress clear instructions
First look at the price of purchase to avoid buying the products of many kinds, and low
prices. If the price is too low, consumers have a right to suspect that the raw materials
if there are problems; smell it, some poor-quality mattress will add some substandard
filler, will emit a pungent taste; as much as possible to buy the professional bedding
brand or service a good product, the waiter at the time of purchase, ask the stores, look
at product packaging instructions, instructions on spring density of state regulations are
not clear, we must not buy.
Flip the mattress regularly
In order to avoid the breeding ground for bacteria and dust mites, remove the plastic bags
used, and ventilation to keep dry to prevent moisture caused by mildew; use regularly flip,
use a cleaning pad and sheets, there are absorbent function, can also be washed frequently,
to ensure sleep hygiene; annually using a vacuum cleaner to clean up the mattress several
times to keep the mattress clean. Washing with soap and water stains on the mattress, do
not use detergent.
The new mattress attention to ventilation cleaning
High levels of formaldehyde or mildew will cause the mattress issued to stimulate the
unpleasant odor. If you find to buy mattresses, indoor environmental pollution is serious,
or family members have health problems, the best indoor environment testing in a timely
manner. Meanwhile, buy a new mattress should also pay attention to ventilation and
purification, to prevent health hazards. Mattress for too long already moldy, musty, damp,
dust, dirt, etc., should be properly cleaned or dry. If you use too long spring deformation
can choose to replace the mattress stains difficult to remove.
Self-test
Quickly determine whether sleep is healthy
Wangguang Liang, Secretary-General of the Committee of Experts of the Chinese Medical
Association of Sleep Medicine, sleep League Secretary General
The main indicator to measure whether people have a healthy sleep: one, full of sleep,
enough time, high efficiency; 2, easy to fall asleep; continuous sleep, will not be
interrupted;, deep sleep, wake up tired all evaporated. Each person’s physical condition,
some people are short of sleep type, adequate sleep about six hours a day will be able to,
while others belong to the long sleep type, and takes about 10 hours in order to maintain

as the basis.
