Warning and regulation

THE CHOICE OF THE IDEAL MATTRESS

The mattress and its support cannot be recommended by other people or anyway chosen in a superficial way, since every person has particular and specific sleep needs that must be taken into consideration.
Lordflex’s has a series of Sleep Well-Being Centres where customers can try many different kinds of products before buying them, in order to choose the one which best responds to their needs.

THE RIGHT SUPPORT

We suggest laying the mattress on the base and making sure its sagging is less than 5 cm when body weight is applied. If supported by an inappropriate base, a mattress will show signs of early ageing due to bad working conditions and not to its structural characteristics. The right support plays an important role in the mattress’s life cycle and is a key element for a good sleep. For this reason, wired bed bases or bases without uniform-flexibility surfaces are not recommended. We recommend lath supports with rubber shock absorbers, because they enhance its performance, and supports able to guarantee the transpiration of the mattress.

INITIAL ADJUSTMENT

After a certain time, the mattress has to show the signs of the person who has slept on it. A good mattress automatically adjusts to the body shape, having been subjected to its slight pressure. Only in this case can we be sure that the mattress is a healthy tool of well-being. Slight adjustments testify to such excellent qualities. Otherwise we would be using an inflexible, and therefore extremely incorrect, support which forces the body to take up unnatural harmful postures.

USEFUL ACCESSORIES

Lordflex’s always recommends the use of a base cover to protect the mattress from wear and tear and avoid contact with the base, and the use of a mattress cover to protect it from getting stained. Both of them act as good dust barriers too. The accessories of the Merino Set are also very important in that, thanks to their excellent thermo-regulating properties, they create the most appropriate microclimate and have a positive impact on the quality of sleep.

RULES FOR THE MEASUREMENT OF MATTRESSES

Dimensions and tolerances according to UNI. The product dimensions can be slightly different from the nominal dimensions shown. In fact, the product is composed of several elastic materials, which can undergo adjustments. For its products LORDFLEX’S complies with the size tolerances provided for by the rules of the international standardization body UNI concerning the “Methodology for the measurement of mattresses”.

DURABILITY TEST

Lordflex’s products undergo many tests carried out by influential laboratories in order to check their condition after stress and ageing tests. These tests consist of intense cycles of 45,000 forward/backward movements of a roller with a frequency of 16 ± 2 cycles/minute, i.e. a 140 kg load: much heavier than the weight of an average person borne by a mattress during sleep. This test is a laboratory reconstruction of the real conditions and strains experienced by a mattress during 15 years of use. In LORDFLEX’S collection there are only products that have passed this “durability test”.
