The old man wants to sit on a cane chair and sleep on a hemp mat (what's wrong with the old man)
In August, the hottest time of the year has arrived, and some summer products, such as recliners and summer mats, have also begun to appear. The rattan chair is comfortable and cool, which is very suitable for the elderly. However, when choosing a summer mat, we should pay attention to it, and we should not covet the temporary coolness. It is best to choose a mild mat.

Compared with hard benches, rattan chairs are the first choice for the elderly in summer. First of all, from the material point of view, the rattan chair has certain flexibility and is more suitable for the physiological characteristics of the elderly. The gluteal muscles of the elderly gradually atrophy and their buffering capacity decreases. Sitting in a hard chair for a long time can induce ischial tubercle bursitis. Secondly, the rattan chair is made of rattan and has good air permeability. In addition, the temperature of rattan is moderate and cool, which is suitable for summer.

When buying a cane chair, try it yourself. It is better to have a backrest. There should not be many exposed joints on the surface of rattan. It is best to touch the surface of rattan by hand, and it feels smooth, flexible and without barbs. Grasp the edge of the rattan chair with both hands and shake it gently to see if the frame is stable and see if there is any creaking sound when it is shaken or stressed too much.

Because the elderly are physically weak, the viscera yang drops, and they are most afraid of catching cold. If you choose mahjong mats and bamboo mats that are too cold, you are prone to chills, cold limbs, fatigue, abdominal pain, etc., while gentle straw mats are easy to breed mites. The surface temperature of summer sleeping mat can keep consistent with human body temperature, with good air permeability and strong sweat absorption, which is the best choice for the elderly. In addition, the surface of the hemp pad is soft and does not hurt the skin.

Attention should be paid when cleaning the hemp pad, which can be soaked in warm water at 40℃ 10 minute; Don't twist it hard when washing by hand, flatten it and dry it naturally in the shade. The storage of hemp mats is very convenient, as long as they are washed, folded and put in the cupboard like ordinary sheets or blankets.
