Enjoy sleeping on a horsehair mattress

30 Aug

The horse is a characteristic symbol of freedom, throughout the period of its coexistence with man. His gallop always creates strong emotions, even with a simple glance. This is because over the centuries the horse has been one of the most valuable companions in every moment of man’s life and everyday life, from transportation to his valuable goods.

Horse hair created the basis for a multitude of materials, and is still used today. It has unique properties, which make it stand out and often constitute the only natural choice. Its exceptional resistance is uniquely combined with its characteristic elasticity, while its nature to uniquely regulate humidity levels further enhances its thermostatic properties.

Over the centuries, horse hair has found application in any material that required strength, elasticity and proper management of moisture levels. Thus, from the creation of strings and ropes, to clothing, horse hair was the most basic choice. But where do all these qualities find application in modern dentistry?

By choosing the right, sustainable and horse-friendly management, the horsehair used in bedding and all related sleeping products is carefully removed in the correct amount and length from the horse’s mane and tail. Its sterilization and special treatment make it one of the safest and friendliest choices of materials to create the internal “filling” of sleep products, thus ensuring and transferring its top properties to the maximum, for every application.

A mattress made with horsehair filling maintains at exceptional levels 3 basic parameters that determine the quality of sleep. The first parameter is related to the ability of the horse’s coat to maximally expel moisture. Thus, the mattress maintains its desired internal “dryness”, allowing its pores to breathe and ensure maximum hygiene. This prevents the development and entrapment of both internal dust and harmful microorganisms that could cause problems both for the mattress itself and for its user.

In direct connection with the humidity levels, but also with the property of the material to allow the natural passage of air, is the second parameter, that of maintaining the ideal temperature of the mattress. Thus, the material itself eliminates the additional temperature during the warm months, keeping the mattress itself, but also the user’s body, at a constant pleasant temperature, while the same thermostatic mechanism prevents the material from acquiring an unpleasant cold sensation, during cold months, thanks also to the absence of trapped moisture.

Both of these parameters contribute decisively to both the quality and hygiene of sleep, creating the conditions for a safe and extremely pleasant environment, while at the same time ensuring the durability of the mattress over time during its use. This third parameter of strength comes to be completed by the nature of the material itself. Horsehair, as we noted, is extremely durable and resilient, and under the proper and ideal layering treatment, it forms into extremely durable fill layers. These layers give the mattress excellent resistance to maintaining its structure and delightful elasticity, which, together with the rest of the structural features, contributes to the qualitative adaptation of the mattress, according to the shape of the user’s body, offering unique comfort and the possibility of rest.
