Overall height (thickness) of the mattress.
This parameter is selected by the manufacturer, taking into account the general purpose and design features of the product, so in most cases it is not fundamental when choosing. We only note that traditional type mattresses have a thickness of
10 – 15 cm to
30 cm or more. And products with a thickness of less than 10 cm belong to the category of so-called
futons, or toppers. Most often, such models are not used separately, but as additional overlays on another sleeping surface. For example, you can add a topper to an existing classic mattress — if it is not soft or hard enough, or if its properties have deteriorated due to wear — or lay the topper on a sofa, making the sleeping place on it more comfortable. Due to their thinness, futons are relatively inexpensive, and buying such a product is often more profitable than replacing an existing mattress.
