What is better to buy - Ormatek or Ascona mattress

Among Russian manufacturing companies, two brands are very popular - Askona and Ormatek. So what to choose - Ormatek or Askona? In Russia, in 41% of cases when choosing a mattress, the buyer leaves these two market giants and chooses among them.

It is difficult to unequivocally answer the question “which is better?”, since both companies have something to offer for different customer needs, have their own developments, good specialists and a large assortment.

Features of Ascona mattresses

The Askona company, founded in 1990, has become a recognized leader in domestic sleeping products. Every year in Ascona’s assortment you can see new items among mattresses, pillows, as well as furniture: beds and sofas.

Ascona now has several popular series of mattresses, mainly spring mechanisms are used, there is a springless series, as well as a line for children, designed taking into account the physiological development of children.

A mattress from Askona is a quality product, a real investment in your health.

Features of Ormatek mattresses

Ormatek is a relatively young Russian company, but it has already achieved great success.Founded in 2001, the company produces a number of products for comfortable sleep comparable to Askona. Ormatek focuses on two directions – Russia and export. At this rate, Ormatek managed to attract many foreign clients.

Like Askona, Ormatek follows the main trends, has its own patented springs and production technologies, pricing policy and differences in the purpose of mattresses - children's, adults, double, spring, springless, etc.

Comparison: Askona or Ormatek

In order to choose an anatomical mattress, you need to decide on your goals. For a comfortable sleep at home, you can choose mattresses by comparing them based on parameters such as quality of materials, springs (or lack thereof), mattress hardness, warranties and durability.

There is certainly a difference between these two companies. If you compare by several indicators and decide on your needs, it will not be so difficult to make a choice.

Mattress Ormatek Optima

Materials

The materials used are almost the same. Askona uses such materials in production as:

• felt,
• artificial latex,
• coconut coir,
• natural latex,
• polyurethane foam,
• sisal,
• cotton,
• holofiber,
• combined materials

Ormatek uses the same materials, with the addition of two more categories:

• Horsehair
• Nonwovens.

Patented springs

Mattresses come in 3 types:

• with independent springs,
• with dependents (Bonnell system),
• springless.

Both Ormatek and Askona produce all 3 options.

Both manufacturers have their own, patented springs.

Qualified Ascona specialists have developed and patented the “Hour Glass” and “Hour Glass” independent spring model. Sleeping on such springs is comfortable, the body rests, and the load is distributed evenly. In an hourglass, each block has a separate case, and compression occurs only vertically. This allows you to significantly ensure a comfortable and restful sleep.

Ormatek is also not far behind, and has patented its own Titan springs. Such springs guarantee increased strength under heavy loads.

Hardness degree

The hardness of the mattress is one of the important indicators that the buyer should pay attention to when choosing. Unless there are obvious contraindications, medium-hard mattresses are usually suitable for most people of average build.

Thin people should pay attention to soft mattresses. This is the most comfortable type of mattress for thin people who do not suffer from spinal diseases.

Usually, people with excess body weight are advised to look at hard mattresses, but there is a nuance here: the presence of cardiovascular diseases may be a contraindication to a hard mattress. This should be discussed with your doctor.

If there is an opportunity to “try it on”, to lie on the surface of a sleeping product, it is better to take advantage of this opportunity.

Both companies divide rigidity into 5 categories:

• Low
• Below average
• Average
• Above average
• High

These firmness levels are suitable for each side of the mattress. For example, you can choose a combined type, when, for example, one side of the mattress is soft and the other is medium hard.

Due to differences in the design of patented springs in each company, a soft mattress in Ormatek may differ from a soft mattress in Askona. In general, reviews from people who were able to try both mattresses indicate that the mattresses in Ormatek are a little softer. But this is neither an advantage nor a disadvantage.

Consultation with specialists from both one and another company can help you make the right choice.

Height and dimensions

The limits of acceptable sizes in both companies also differ. Thus, Askona produces mattresses with a length of 60 centimeters (children’s series), while Ormatek added 16 centimeters, and the minimum possible length is 76 cm. The upper limit for both companies is the same – 220 cm.

The width differs according to the same principle: Askona has in its assortment products with a width of 40 cm, and Ormatek starts with 60 centimeters. At the same time, the upper limit is also different - Ormatek does not produce mattresses wider than 210 centimeters, versus Askonov’s 220 cm.

But if it is possible to order the highest mattress, Ormatek is ahead of Ascona.The height of the Ormatek product can reach up to 50 centimeters, while the maximum height of the Askona mattress is 31 cm.

The height of mattresses depends on the hardness indicators and the fillers. Typically, the softer the product, the higher it is. But this does not apply to springless mattresses.

Quality certificates

All products from both factories have the necessary quality certificates and declarations of conformity. Having a customs union declaration allows you not to worry about the quality and safety of products.

It is important to note the openness of both companies - both Askona and Ormatek are happy to talk about their products, all certificates are posted on the websites of both companies, and the sellers in the furniture stores that represent these companies are always friendly and ready to provide qualified advice. All this speaks of the high quality of service and products. With a high probability, the buyer will receive answers to all his questions and leave with the purchase.

Warranties and durability

But there are significant differences in the guarantees and stated service life. Askona promises a period of trouble-free operation of up to 25 years! Ormatek is confident in its products, but the service life indicates 10-15.

Warranties also vary. Askona accepts products under a 3-year warranty, and Ormatek - 2 years.

Price

Having analyzed the most popular price aggregator Yandex.Market, we can conclude that the pricing policy in both companies is different.

According to data for 2021, prices for the Ormatek mattress start from 1,320 rubles, and Askona - from 2,889 rubles. At the same time, if you go to the websites of the companies themselves and sort them in descending order of price, you can find out that the most expensive mattress from Ormatek will cost 440,000 rubles, and Ascona – 545 thousand rubles.These prices are not available on Yandex.Market, since luxury mattresses are made to order and include a huge number of additional options.

If we compare on Yandex.Market according to the same indicators, for example, we need a standard rectangular anatomical mattress, 2 meters long, 190 to 200 cm wide, and 20 to 25 centimeters high, of medium hardness on both sides of the mattress, as well as with independent springs . We don’t think about the warranty and service life, and neither do we think about the contents. Such a sleeping product from Ormatek will cost 17,000 rubles, and from Askona 24,000 rubles.

However, you need to understand that choosing a bedroom only based on the low price is irrational. People sleep on average 8 hours a day, so it is very important in what conditions 1/3 of life is spent. Both companies produce high-quality materials and carry out the strongest control of products. Both manufacturers collect feedback from their customers and carefully monitor product quality.

In addition, the price is affected by warranty indicators, which are higher at Askona. Therefore, based on this parameter, we can assume that prices are indeed at the same level.

To summarize, we can highlight several main parameters when choosing:

• If you have serious illnesses, it is better not to select a sleeping product yourself;
• Both in Askona and in Ormatek you can find products that satisfy a wide variety of needs;
• Ormatek is a little cheaper, but it also has a shorter warranty;
• Both companies certify their products.

May your choice be correct and your sleep comfortable under any circumstances.
