Our mattress is not in small way responsible for quality of our sleep. Comfortable sleeping prolongs our life, but if when choosing a bed you made a bad choice, it can cause such chronic illnesses as sleeplessness, radiculitis, osteochondrosis, arthritis, allergy and even asthma.

Scientists think that our ancestors slept on branches of trees. Sleeping there they felt protected from predators. But there was a danger of falling.

Then people slept in caves, which were safer, and with the lapse of time began to build safe dwellings. But during a long time these beds had boards for protection against night falling. And only when our ancestor made the bed using a skin of a beast, it was the first bedding in the history. And according to the opinion of modern scientists, this was one of the most successful variants.

Since then there were many types of bunk. There were mattresses filled by hay, leaves, horsehair or cotton. There were homespun sackcloth and bed sheets made of expensive Dutch linen with lacy edgings. There were downy feather-beds and pillows, foam rubber mattresses and blankets made of synthetic padding polyester. And it is too early to put a full stop in this list. Technical progress bursts into mattress producing industry.

This is good, but medics-hygienists since the time of spring mattresses invention in 1870 have serious claims to them. The main problem is accumulation of dust, microorganisms and house insects in an internal space of mattress; this part is absolutely inaccessible to cleaning. Besides, on a spring mattress, as well as on steel nets, in process of its using backbone sags, muscles are tensed all night long.
