Curious?
How did the mattress appear?
If you want to know how to make a mattress, it is important to first understand how it appears. Don't worry, we won't give you a class of history.
In the Stone Age, people lived in caves, which was quite uncomfortable. As they slept on the floor, their backs suffered a lot. That's when the idea arose of joining many sheets to lie on them, thus giving the first contribution to the mattress odyssey.
In Ancient Egypt, they already used techniques to sew fabrics, adding straw, leaves and branches inside these fabrics. In this way, the surfaces they slept on became more comfortable.
The Romans were the first to idealize that which most resembles the mattress that we know today. We can say that they revolutionized the way of sleeping, because they developed more stable surfaces, made of cotton, animal hair, wool and feathers.
In the beginning of the 20th century, they started to grow mattress factories and spring mattresses being developed, leading to high demand after World War II. By placing a set of uniform springs within the layers of the mattress, manufacturers could also begin to give it a firm, strong, and even texture.
These days, mattresses are not just objects to lie on. They are increasingly a product that should be valued and built well. Currently, they are designed to provide the better comfort and support possible. Therefore, they offer a wide variety of layers, distributing body weight and preventing wear over time.
What are the steps of the production process?
Now that you know a little bit about how mattresses came about, it's time to understand what goes on in the mattress factory and how is the production process of a mattress:
- The foam makes the mattress comfortable and adaptable to the body. Foaming requires a lengthy process, adding water to chemical substances. This mixture has to stand for at least 3 days until it is finished.
- After the chemical process is completed, quality tests very rigorous, to be able to calculate the density. The foam is subjected to several deformations in succession, to imitate the use that will be given to the mattress.
- Then, the springs, in carbon steel that is highly resistant throughout its useful life. They allow for greater ventilation, so the product becomes more ventilated and fresh. In foam mattresses this step does not apply.
- To end in beauty, it is necessary to do the front cover of the mattress - to protect against external agents. It is normally made of resistant 100% polyester fabric, soft to the touch and effective in perspiration.
How is a sustainable mattress made?
At Colmol, sustainability is the motto. As we take this matter very seriously, we apply this to our mattresses as well. Now you ask, how do you make your mattresses sustainable? It's very simple:
- Used plastic bottles are collected and then transported to our factory
- The bottles are melted, obtaining a granulate
- The granulate is made into a textured filament.
- This filament is transformed into fabric and included in the mattress production process.
- A compression technology is applied to the mattress, so that its volume is reduced in the packaging, reducing the carbon footprint in transport
- The mattress is then distributed, never forgetting the main objective of this process: SAVE THE PLANET!
