EXAMINATION OF THE COMFORT WHILE LYING ON A METTRESS WITH A SOFT POLYURETHANE FOAM CORE

Abstract

The paper presents the results of the examination of the comfort while lying on a mattress with a soft polyurethane foams core. The areas of standing close by measurements with measurement of the multi- sensory appropriate cover and computer software were studied. For an indicator of comfort is taken the comfort index, according which within the limits of average height and weight of the group of users, the measurements match the recommended method of tabular values. The cases where the users are with low body weight and greater height, and users with greater body weight and short stature, deviate from the recommended method of tabular selection. The measurement with multi sensory measuring cover is recommended as yet most realistic method for determining the comfort when lying on a mattress.
