1) Spring, foam or latex, discover the mattresses for Murphy bed

Discovery of the spring mattress

Choosing the right mattress for a bed cabinet is a crucial step in enjoying great sleeping comfort . With the retractable bed system , the mattress of your choice is installed on the wooden slatted base. You can therefore opt for a spring mattress if this technology suits you best.

2) Choose the size and thickness of the mattress for the bed cabinet

90 x 190 cm, 140 x 190 cm, 160 x 200 cm, etc. : all bed sizes find their place in a bed cabinet, from the dimensions of a child's bed to bedding king-size . The selection will therefore depend on the bed cabinet model chosen.

To fit perfectly into the structure of the wardrobe, the thickness of the mattress must generally be between 18 and 23 cm. However, this technical limit does not detract from the comfort of the mattress. You can benefit from a very good bed despite this constraint regarding thickness. You must especially focus on the thickness of the core, namely the interior foam of the mattress, to choose a mattress that provides real sleeping comfort adapted to your needs.

3) Density, firmness and resilience of the wardrobe bed mattress

• The density of your mattress must be adapted to your weight and height

Expressed in Kg/m³, the density of the mattress is an essential element to guarantee its comfort and durability. In other words, the higher the density, the more your mattress will return to its original shape despite daily use. Opt for high-density foam mattresses, equal to or greater than 50 kg/m³.

• Soft, firm, balanced: which firmness to choose?

Just like preparing a good recipe, a good dose of balance is necessary to support the body but also to conform to its shape. Here again, your body shape as well as any back problems (such as scoliosis) should guide your choice. Open-cell polyurethane foam mattresses, unlike full-cell foam mattresses, provide more ventilation and elasticity.

The result: more balanced support and more effective wicking of perspiration.

• Springs, memory foam, latex, etc.: what type of mattress for your bed cabinet?

Polyether foam and latex mattresses are not necessarily wise choices for equipping your bed cabinet, unless you are looking to equip your second home at a lower cost.

Already mentioned, high resilience foam mattresses ensure optimal comfort for the greatest number of people.

If you are more interested in having a mattress that meets specific needs such as back or blood circulation problems, memory foam mattresses could help you rediscover the virtues of sleep.

ADVANTAGES OF THE WALL-BED MEMORY MATTRESS:

• Feeling of weightlessness thanks to the removal of pressure points in the wide (shoulders) and heavy (pelvis) parts;
• Sleeping independence thanks to high density;
• Anti-mite, antibacterial and anti-mold.

Among spring mattresses, the pocket spring technique is by far the most sophisticated. Each spring is individually wrapped to guarantee perfect sleeping independence. A very good option to consider if you sleep as a couple!

4) THE FABRIC OF THE MATTRESS FOR A BED CABINET: A CRITERION NOT TO BE FORGOTTEN!

Did you know that the fabric of your mattress is called ticking? Little mentioned during the purchase, the quality of the ticking is just as essential to choose well. Several materials can be used, including wool for the winter side, linen and cotton for the summer side.

WHY NOT NEGLECT THE QUALITY OF THE TOOL?

The quality of the ticking largely determines the reception of the mattress, that is to say the first impression you will have when trying it. No need to remind you that this first contact is key for the rest of the selection!

Although it does not influence support, the filling plays an essential role in the comfort of your mattress.

WHICH MATERIALS TO PREFER FOR TICKLING?

• Silk and cashmere: these precious materials not only offer delicacy to the touch. Silk gives a cooling effect in summer while it provides balanced warmth in winter;
• Combed cotton: if you invest in a children's foldaway bed or for a bed cabinet mattress for a second home, opt for a removable cover in combed cotton to facilitate maintenance;
• Wool : coating the winter side of your mattress, wool will provide excellent insulation without making you sweat;
• Lin: just like your summer clothes, linen allows the mattress to breathe while remaining hypoallergenic.

Good to know : Other elements such as the Aeroflex strips present on certain mattresses ensure greater hygiene for your mattress by allowing better ventilation.
