What is a cold foam mattress?

Definition of the cold foam mattress

A cold foam mattress is made of foamed cold foam, which provides the sleeper with wonderful sleeping comfort. The positive properties of the cold foam material make the cold foam mattress particularly adaptable, heat-insulating, and durable. It is ideal for people who suffer from back pain.

Cold foam mattress and positive properties

A cold foam mattress is probably the most well-known type of mattress among mattresses. In this section, we will consider the topic of finding the right sleeping surface. A cold foam mattress is very point-elastic and provides good support for the sleeper in every sleeping position. The weight is distributed individually depending on the sleeping position and adapts according to the lying properties of the person. A uniform, gentle sinking and prevention of back pain is achieved. This greatly enhances sleep quality and sleeping comfort. The cold foam mattress is particularly suitable for people who desire a premium sleep on a firm-comfortable surface and want to wake up in the morning without possible back pain. The adaptability of a cold foam mattress offers a significant advantage for sleep quality. The firmness level of a cold foam mattress is ideally between mattress firmness level H1 (firmness level 1) and mattress firmness level H2 (firmness level 2). The firmness level is therefore set to medium-firm to firm. A good high-quality premium cold foam mattress is wonderfully breathable among mattresses of other types and offers a pleasant sleep for the spine while lying down. Combined with a practical cold foam pillow for the cold foam mattress, which is also breathable and shape-stable, you will enjoy the best sleep and lying comfort in your bed.

Cold foam mattress: Mattress manufacturing cold foam mattress

Next, we will deal with the topic of manufacturing: A cold foam mattress consists of a cold foam material, which can be produced through the block foam process. This distinguishes the mattress from other types of mattresses. A cold foam mattress and other cold foam mattresses are therefore a polyurethane mattress (PUR mattress). For the manufacturing of these mattresses, foam blocks are hardened at high heat, which is how the cold foam mattress got its name. The cold foam material of the mattress is firm, has a higher degree of hardness, and the core of the mattress has a high compression hardness. A cold foam mattress with H1 or H2 degree of hardness is initially cast from a block through the mattress manufacturing process by the manufacturer and then cut. By breaking open the closed pores, cold foam mattresses become open-pored and breathable. This allows the mattress to ensure particularly good air circulation and a very good as well as stable sleeping climate. A high temperature in the bedroom can lead to the person, for example, having high perspiration, which negatively affects the sleeping climate. An optimally fitting high air circulation is of great importance, as the air circulation helps to ensure that the mattress is optimally ventilated. This prevents moisture accumulation or the deposition of individual dirt particles and mites in the mattress core or on the surface of a mattress, as the air circulation prevents this. The mattress of the type of cold foam mattresses offers, in addition to air circulation, the advantage of excellent point elasticity, which impresses with positive lying properties during sleep. People can sleep relaxed and well and enjoy a pleasant lying comfort while lying down.

Cold foam mattress: The disadvantages of a cold foam mattress

Regarding the topic of critical points with this model: cold foam mattresses have, in addition to many mattress advantages, also some mattress disadvantages that we want to highlight here. One of the disadvantages of these mattresses is that you need a suitable slatted frame for one of these types of mattresses in order to ensure the necessary stability. Therefore, one should seek advice in advance on whether the slatted frame fits the sleeping model. The topic of slatted frames is thus an important topic that one should definitely pay attention to. Not only is the construction of the slatted frame crucial, but also the feeling when lying in the beds. Furthermore, to mention more mattress disadvantages, these mattresses, in the form of a cold foam mattress at temperatures of 400 degrees, pose a fire risk for these types of mattresses, as the cold foam mattress can ignite. Additionally, due to the chemical construction and manufacturing of the mattress by the manufacturer, cold foam mattresses can have an unpleasant smell at the beginning. However, one must keep in mind that every mattress, in addition to a mattress advantage or several advantages, also always brings mattress disadvantages with it. It is important to weigh the mattress advantages as well as the mattress disadvantages accordingly and to pay attention when purchasing a mattress that you choose a manufacturer and foam where the advantages of the mattresses outweigh and the disadvantages are minimized.

A cold foam mattress is divided into 7-ergonomic lying zones so that all pressure points (spine) find an optimal alignment, even in different lying positions. The special feature of a cold foam mattress with lying zones is that you can flip the mattress as desired. Certain cold foam mattress zones, such as the:

• head lying zones
• shoulder zones
• pelvic zones
• heel zones

sink deeper in and should not be too firm, but softer so that they sink into the lying zones accordingly. It is also ensured that there is a straight and ergonomically optimal as well as correct spine alignment. Especially people who have issues with their back or neck should pay special attention to an ergonomic model in their search for a healthy back-neck area. For the purchase of a new mattress (children's mattresses or regular mattress), one should decide on the right firmness level, which is best obtained in the form of a consultation.

Kaltschaum-Matratze: Raumgewicht einer Kaltschaummatratze

Which density is suitable and which density is not? A high-quality premium cold foam mattress has a high density of 50 to 60 kg/m³. The greater the density of a mattress, the greater its durability. Cold foam mattresses and cold foam pillows with a high density prove themselves through better point elasticity and are more shape-stable. This foam also has a better and optimal recovery force due to its structure, which adapts well to the body, shoulders, and spine in every movement, which is another advantage. A cold foam mattress is generally very affordable in terms of purchase price, so many people can afford a cold foam mattress plus topper, plus bedding for box spring beds, children's mattresses, etc. However, if the mattress is to last many years, such as 12-15 years hold, one must expect a higher purchase price, but this is worth it, as one does not have to buy a new sleeping solution again after a few years.

Cold foam mattress: Which slatted frame is suitable?

Slatted frames are the base for the mattress. For beds, these must be specifically tailored so that the sleep system can function.

Cold foam mattress and the optimal firmness level

The feeling of lying down is different for every person, as everyone has individual needs. Mattresses, such as cold foam mattresses, are generally suitable for all people, apart from niche products like children's mattresses, baby mattresses, or allergy mattresses. People with a low or high body weight can also choose a cold foam mattress if they find it comfortable. However, the mattress should not be too firm and not too soft. Otherwise, choosing the wrong cold foam mattress product can lead to back pain and strain the spine.

Features of the right cold foam mattress

A good cold foam mattress is a premium item if you pay attention to the following purchase criteria for cold foam mattresses:

• Cube cut: The core (set minimum core height) of a cold foam mattress should have a 3-dimensional cube cut when purchasing a high-quality item, as the body adaptability is significantly better here. The core height is crucial, and therefore the core height should be at least 14 cm so that the total height of the sleeping model is comfortably high.
  
  
• Density: The rule is: The higher the density, the better the quality and durability of the mattress. A good guideline is between 50 to 60 kg/m³.

• Compression hardness: The hardness of the cold foam mattress and other mattresses is measured in compression hardness. The higher the compression hardness, the harder the mattress. A sagging or annoying lying pit cannot occur with a high compression hardness.

• Mattress height: The ideal total mattress height is 20-24 cm. The total height indicates how high the model should be. The total height includes not only the mattress core but also the mattress cover. The total height can be increased by an additional topper, which is available in various high-quality versions.

• Core height: Here too, the rule applies: The higher the core, the more pressure response it has. The core height should be between 14-19 cm.

Comparison of mattress types in the test: The cold foam mattress compared to the spring core mattress with spring core (spring core mattresses) and to latex mattresses

In this test, we show how test candidate 1 behaves compared to test candidate 2 and test model 3. The comparison test is intended to show which test model performs best. To conduct the comparison, we consider the test objects based on different parameters that will be evaluated against each other. For test model 1: A cold foam mattress (test candidate 1) among the cold foam mattresses has, in comparison to a spring mattress (spring mattresses) (test candidate 2) with springs (spring mattresses) point elasticity, while a spring mattress with springs is surface elastic or also has point elasticity. In cold foam mattresses (test candidate 1), the body can adapt better, and the material is precisely for this reason more conforming and supportive than in the surface elasticity of a spring mattress with springs (test model 2). In a latex mattress (test candidate 3), the same point elasticity can be found, as in comparison with a cold foam mattress (test candidate 1) (or a cold foam pillow). Both mattresses are very breathable and also have good and optimal climate properties in comparison. Those who cannot decide between the two mattresses being compared here can choose a corresponding latex topper or a cold foam mattress topper. In the Mister Sandman Online Shop, we also offer a fantastic latex visco cold foam mattress that combines the advantages of all 3 materials in one product. Especially people who envision a particularly heavenly night's sleep will find what they are looking for here. The sleep model fits into all beds depending on the desired dimensions, such as spacious double beds. The comparison test shows that all 3 test candidates (test model 1, test model 2, test model 3) have different characteristics. The comparison also shows that there is not one model that fits everyone. In the comparison, one should simply look and ask oneself what lying properties and comfort expectations one desires (for example, from the type of spring mattresses) and then select their product after the comparison. For example, cold foam mattresses are a good investment, as cold foam mattresses are affordable and still possess high-quality properties and advantages. However, when choosing high-quality models, it is always important to choose the variant that best suits you. There are many different variants and different offers to choose from. Ultimately, sleep comfort should be decisive. It is often the case that sleep disturbances occur when sleep comfort does not align with personal needs.
