Effects of Mattress Material on Body Pressure Profiles in Different Sleeping Postures

Abstract: Objectives: This study compared the body contact pressure profiles of 2 types of mattresses: latex and polyurethane. Methods: Twenty participants were required to lie down on the different mattresses in 3 different postures for 6 minutes, and their body contact pressure profiles were recorded with a pressure mat sensor. Results: The data indicated that the latex mattress was able to reduce the peak body pressure on the torso and buttocks and achieve a higher proportion of low-pressure regions compared with the… Show more

“…In some studies, mattress samples were only vaguely described. López-Torres et al (2008) selected four mattresses claimed to cover the full range of firmness, while Low et al (2017) commented that the density of their mattresses was intermediate. Palmero et al (2017) used the subjects’ existing mattresses but did not describe their brand, stiffness, or type.…”

“…Vücut temas basıncı, vücut ağırlığının vücuda temas eden vücudun yüzeyine dağılımının bir ölçüsüdür. İyi tasarlanmış bir yatak sıklıkla vücuda uygulanan yüksek basınç noktalarını en aza indirme özelliğine sahip olmalıdır [3]. Bu amaçla yapılan bir çalışmada geliştirilen iki yatak üzerinde 10 katılımcı ile iki geceyi içeren, termal algıların alındığı subjektif denemeler yapılmıştır.…”
