Test method for determining the mattress climate
Abstract
This document specifies a gravimetric test method for determining the microclimate development at the interface between the human body and the mattress. The test method simulates the heat and water vapour emission of a resting human body and enables the evaluation of the ability of ready-made mattresses to form standardized heat and moisture influences at the contact zone between the body and the lying system.
