This study compared the body contact pressure profiles of 2 types of mattresses: latex and polyurethane.
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.
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 polyurethane mattress.
Latex mattress reduced peak body pressure and achieved a more even distribution of pressure compared with polyurethane mattress across different sleeping postures.
本研究比较了两种床垫(乳胶床垫和聚氨酯床垫)的身体接触压力分布情况。
20名参与者被要求以三种不同姿势躺在不同床垫上6分钟,并用压力垫传感器记录他们的身体接触压力分布情况。
数据表明,与聚氨酯床垫相比,乳胶床垫能够降低躯干和臀部的身体压力峰值,并实现更高比例的低压区域。
与聚氨酯床垫相比,乳胶床垫在不同睡眠姿势下能降低身体压力峰值,并实现更均匀的压力分布。
