1, mattress
Middle-aged and elderly people should follow several principles when choosing a mattress, such as the hardness should not be too soft, the body curve should be consistent with the mattress, and the length of the mattress should be 20 cm longer than that of the human body. When choosing a mattress, the most important thing is to let the elderly feel comfortable. Buying with the elderly is the best choice.
2, sheets, quilts
When middle-aged and elderly people choose sheets and quilts, they should not only consider the preferences of colors or patterns, but also pay attention to material characteristics such as warmth, breathability, weight and cleaning convenience. In addition, different seasons have different requirements for the characteristics of sheets and quilts, which need everyone's attention.
Step 3: pajamas
Basically, how to wear it when sleeping depends entirely on personal preference, but because the process of sleeping will definitely turn over, so when choosing pajamas, we should give priority to looseness, and at the same time pay attention to the soft and warm touch and sweat absorption of the material. However, some people are used to "sleeping naked" or wearing only a pair of close-fitting shorts to sleep. Basically, as long as you can make yourself comfortable and relaxed, you can wear anything to sleep.
4. Pillow
The pillow should first consider whether its height is appropriate. When the pillow is too high, it is easy to make the neck and shoulders uncomfortable. If it is too low, it is easy to make blood flow to the head, causing discomfort. In addition, you need to choose a suitable pillow according to your sleep habits. For example, if you often sleep on your side, the size of the pillow should be able to support your head and neck at the same time, and the height is roughly equal to the width of one shoulder. The pillow you need to sleep on your back is mainly to support your neck, which is about the height of a person's fist. If you often turn over when you sleep, the pillow area needs to be wider to avoid falling asleep as soon as you turn over. After long-term use, the internal material of the pillow will gradually lose its original elasticity, so you should pay attention to updating the pillow regularly. If you sprain your stiff neck when you wake up, maybe you should consider replacing it with a more suitable pillow.
What fabric is good for the four-piece bed for the elderly?
1, polyester cotton
Polyester-cotton bedding fabric products generally use 65% polyester and 35% cotton. Polyester cotton is divided into plain weave and twill weave. Plain polyester-cotton fabric has thin surface, good strength and wear resistance, very small shrinkage rate, and the appearance of the product is not easy to deform, which is economical and durable, but not as comfortable as pure cotton. In addition, because polyester is not easy to dye, polyester-cotton fabrics are mostly light and thin, which is more suitable for spring and summer use.
2. Silk
Silk bedding fabrics are gorgeous, rich in appearance, with natural soft and shiny effects, comfortable to the touch, high in strength, better in elasticity and hygroscopicity than cotton, but easy to get dirty and poor in heat resistance to strong sunlight. Its fiber cross section is a unique triangle, and the reflection of light changes after local moisture absorption, which is easy to form water stains and difficult to eliminate, so silk fabrics should be padded with white cloth when ironing.
3. pure cotton
Pure cotton, with good hand feeling, comfortable use, easy dyeing, rich patterns, softness and warmth, strong hygroscopicity, washability and less static electricity, is a widely used material for bedding fabrics.
4. Yarn-dyed cotton
Yarn-dyed pure cotton is a kind of pure cotton bedding fabric, which is made by interweaving warp and weft of different colors. Because dyeing first and then weaving, the dye has strong permeability and good color fastness, and the heterochromatic yarn fabric has strong three-dimensional sense and unique style, which is often shown as a checkered pattern in bedding.
What are the requirements for a bedroom suitable for the elderly?
1, the bedroom house where the old man lives is relatively high.
Good air and sunshine are good for health. According to the Design Standard for Civil Buildings, the clear height of the living room shall not be less than 2. 8 meters. Experiments show that the clear height of the room is less than 2. At 55 meters, the indoor carbon dioxide concentration increases, which affects the indoor air quality. Too low clear height also makes people feel depressed.
2. In the bedroom where the elderly live, the countertop should be made lower.
Both fixed countertops (hanging cabinets) and movable countertops (furniture) should be low, especially for the elderly who are weak and inconvenient. Generally, it is convenient and applicable, subject to not crawling or crawling to get things.
The bedroom where the old people live is not slippery.
It is best to use high-quality unglazed bricks, non-slip bricks, wooden floors and laminated floors. Avoid using fancy and geometric floor tiles to avoid slipping due to visual deviation.
There should be enough light in the bedroom where the old people live.
