Mattress had been one of the testimonials on how humans evolved from literally sleeping in a dry ground to comfortably slumbering in a bed. Pads or mattresses are usually placed above a bed for sleeping or resting. The word the etymology of the word 'bedding' is from Arabic terminologies meaning, 'a place where something is thrown', 'to throw' or 'mat or cushion'. It was first used during the times of Crusades from the method of sleeping of the Arabs on cushions on the floor. Consumers' preferences which regards to how choose their mattresses, depend on how comfortable they would be regarding the size, quality or the materials that made a certain bedding.
Standard Sizes of Mattress
Size definitely plays a big role in choosing mattress. Everybody does not have big space to accommodate the biggest mattress nor be very comfortably sleeping or resting in a large space. The following are the standard measurements of known mattresses being used by individuals of all ages (from babies or toddlers and adults). A Twin Mattress has 39 x 75 inches size while the Twin (extra large) has 39 inch-wide and has an 80 inches in length. Full Mattress measures 54 by 75 inches and Full (extra large) Mattress is five inches (5 in) longer but the same wideness (54 inches). 60 inches wide and 80 inches long bedding is considered to be a Queen Size mattress. There are actually 'three kings' to consider in measuring King Size bedding. The California King mattress measure 72 inches in terms of wideness and has 84 inch-long extent. The other 'king' which is the Eastern King Size mattress is four inches wider but has a shorter length, also by four inches compare to the California King mattress. Last but not the least, the King Split bedding has the same numbers with the Eastern King size mattress but it could be divided into two (2) Twin (extra large) Mattresses. These given sizes are available at Dormia, a bedding manufacturer.
Care and maintenance
As a simple tip, a bedding should be placed on top of an unyielding base to prevent sagging or drooping. Another tip to consider is to rotate the bedding, upon purchase and usage at least once a month for the first six months and once every two-three months after that. A big no-no for mattress is to bend it. As much as possible, mattress should not be folded. Avoid soaking the mattress wet is another thing to remember to maintain its quality. Mattresses could be cleaned by slightly cleansing it with a slightly damp cloth or using a vacuum cleaner.
