What is the biggest fear in renovation? It should be the smell!
In the public perception, renovation pollution must smell big, and smell big formaldehyde must exceed the standard. There are often people who say.
"If the furniture smells bad, there must be more formaldehyde"
"The smell of the furniture is big, the formaldehyde must be over the standard
"This XX smells a bit strong, there must be a lot of formaldehyde".
But in fact, if you can definitely smell it, it's probably not formaldehyde. Formaldehyde has an 'irritating' but not a specific 'smell'. When there is really a lot of formaldehyde, you will feel an itchy throat and sore eyes. But your nose doesn't say 'smell', your nose doesn't feel formaldehyde. Although smelling is not related to formaldehyde, it is not necessarily less harmful. There are many smells that are not quite 'natural' and are often more harmful than formaldehyde. This is especially true for products that use a lot of 'chemicals'. For example, 'textiles', which are not taken very seriously. For this renovation, the curtains were bought online. The price was half the price offline, and the samples looked good. I missed one thing in my calculations - the 'big smell'.
The new house arrived in the afternoon of July 5, and the original plan was to simply pack up and sleep, but I almost went to stay in a hotel because of the curtains! After unpacking the curtain express package, a strange odor emerged, at first thought it was the smell of the package, the results hung on the whole room and could not stay ...... helpless, dismantled and threw the washing machine washed 2 times, the smell only finally gone. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to do this, but it's already midnight!
The actual fact is that it's a lot more healthy to wash them. The curtains smell and can be washed. What if the mattress smells? What can I wash it with? How do I wash it? I always thought that spring Best Mattress online, especially those imported from big brands, should be able to do a good job of quality control, or at least "no smell" or "very little smell". I have bought a Kinko's Prosperity B myself and from my personal experience, I really didn't find it smelly. However, looking through the online reviews, people might not think so!
To be fair.
This type of review only accounts for 1-5% of overall reviews and is not a problem that is likely to be stepped on. But I think 1% is an unbearable amount of money for a major brand. These mattresses can cost as little as $500 and as much as $2000, not cheap! The extra money is for good quality, but what happens? This time, 100,000 to fit 150 sq ft of rough, although the budget is tight, I still plan to buy a few 'good mattresses'. I did consider the lower priced models from the big international brands before, but then gave up completely.
What's wrong with traditional big brand mattresses?
Which mattresses don't use glue and don't smell?
What does a true multi-purpose mattress feel like?
A detailed explanation of mattress problems, once and for all. In-depth analysis of the causes of the source, no longer step in the pit. It could turn your perception of mattresses upside down. Be patient and you'll get something!
The big problems are hard to solve!
The common classification of mattresses has always been "latex", "spring" and "coir" as the main material for differentiation. In the inner spring mattress, it is also "independent pocket" and "whole net spring" which still rely on the material to make the distinction. Although the classification is quite reasonable. But! It's not intuitive enough. Everything is enclosed inside. But everything here is as good and reliable as one would expect or as standard.
Then why do so many people complain about the smell? It's all good material, it's all good stuff, so why does it smell?
To be truly intuitive, it should be divided like this.
1) Traditional closed mattress
2) Removable replacement mattresses
All mattresses that cannot be disassembled to see the inner workings or to replace the filling material can be classified as 'traditional closed mattresses'.
And, with all due respect.
It's time to get rid of the traditional closed mattress!
Because they are closed, there are 4 major drawbacks that people hate!
The core problem.
The lack of internal transparency and the fact that closure is the biggest protection!
In recent years, many 'violent mattress demolition' videos have caught fire.
It's understandable that people love to watch videos that show problems, as bad things happen.
If you think about it, you can understand.
It's hard to see what it looks like when you take it apart.
The curiosity alone is enough to make the video a hit!
The first time I saw a mattress, I had to go to the bathroom.
We often say that consumers should have the 'right to know' ......
But in fact, we "know very little" about even the mattress we sleep under every day. If someone didn't happen to have dismantled the same one in your home online, you wouldn't have a clue as to what's inside. Does this make sense?
Does it make sense? Is it good for the consumer?
"Closed" is arguably the biggest umbrella for brands!
Without knocking down this black umbrella, there is no way to protect consumer rights!
Question 1.
Even big brands dare to use glue that smells so bad it causes public outrage! If the mattress is not closed.
Then the use of glue inside would have been immediately noticeable and it would not have been possible to be as 'rampant' as it is now!
Of course, as a student of chemical engineering, I certainly do not agree that all glues have formaldehyde, smell bad and are polluting. Whether or not it is toxic, smelly and polluting is something that needs to be tested to confirm. In the spirit of being realistic, we can't just kill everything. What is the reason! Why should consumers have to go through this!
At present, there are hardly any closed Best mattress for kids that do not use glue. In terms of odour ranking of the glues used, this is probably the case: urea-formaldehyde glue > normal spray glue > water-based spray glue > hot-melt glue
The mattress is only made of urea-formaldehyde glue, which is only used in certain products such as coir pads, and is rarely used alone in spring mattresses.
The common spray adhesive is used by both small and large brands, and the smell is minimal when fully evaporated.
Water-based spray adhesive, some brands will advertise that they are using it, but it is difficult to say whether they actually use it or not, it belongs to the "Schrodinger state".
Hot melt glue, this is also used a lot, is solid in nature, the smell is not big, relatively more environmentally friendly, but the bonding area is too small.
