Background
The sleep is the guarantee of human energy and physical recovery, and the mattress is as the platform of sleep, and its physical properties has important influence to the sleep quality. The stiffness of the mattress is an important aspect of characterizing the physical properties of the mattress, primarily because the softness of the mattress affects not only the relief of the human-bed pressure, but also the spinal support. The hardness of the mattress is not easy to be too high, when the hardness of the mattress is too high, if the local pressure of an interface between a person and a bed is 2 times greater than the pressure of a terminal arteriole blood vessel of a human body, namely 9.33KPa (70mmHg), and the pressure duration is 1-2h, the perfusion of capillary vessels to tissues can be blocked, the hypoxia is caused, and the irreversible damage to muscle and soft tissues of the human body can be caused when the pressure duration exceeds 2 h. For healthy people, the influence of human-bed interface pressure on human muscle soft tissues can be reduced by appropriate action behaviors such as turning over (normally, the turning over times are about 20 times per night), but the too frequent action behaviors in sleeping can make the sleeping time interrupted and difficult to maintain, thereby being not beneficial to improving the sleeping quality. For the person who is limited in behavior or bedridden for a long time, the bedsore can be formed under the dual effects of the acting time and the acting strength of the load. When the mattress is too soft, a human body can sink deeply into the mattress, larger energy is required to be consumed for human body turning-over or posture adjustment, the number of times of human body turning-over is obviously reduced, and the local part of the human body is in a continuously pressed state due to too few turning-over times, so that the blood circulation and nerve conduction of the human body are not facilitated, and the muscle relaxation of the human body is also not facilitated; moreover, when the mattress is too soft, the contact area of the human-bed interface is increased, the excessive contact area is not beneficial to the diffusion of moisture of the human-bed interface, and the microenvironment of the wet and sticky human-bed interface is not beneficial to the improvement of the sleeping comfort of the human body.
In addition, when the mattress is too hard, the pressure distribution of the human-bed interface is concentrated, when the user sleeps in a supine sleeping posture, the pressure is mainly concentrated on the apophysis parts such as the hip, the shoulder, the head and the like, the waist part is in a suspended state and is lack of support, which is not beneficial to muscle relaxation and the natural state of the spine; the pressure of the side-lying sleeping position is mainly concentrated on the large crutch point, the rib part, the shoulder part and the head part, when the side-lying sleeping position is in a mattress with larger hardness, the stability of the human body is poorer, and in order to keep the sleeping position, partial muscles are in a tight force application state, and the muscle fatigue can be caused for a long time. Namely, the mattress is too hard to be beneficial to the natural bending state of the spine of the human body and the relaxation of muscles. And increased disc compression once the spine is in an unnatural bending state. The mattress is too soft, the buttocks are very easy to sink deeply into the mattress, and the natural bending state of the spine is not facilitated, so that the intervertebral disc pressure is zero and the muscles are not relaxed.
Therefore, the hardness of the mattress plays an important role in human health, sleep quality and the like. As is known, the support of a mattress on a human body is the result of interaction between the whole mattress and the weight of the human body, but at present, the evaluation of the softness and hardness of the mattress mainly remains in the aspects of the test of a single material of the mattress, the subjective and qualitative description of the whole mattress, and the like, such as the 'softness', 'hardness', 'moderate hardness', and the like of the mattress, and the standard for objectively and quantitatively testing and evaluating the softness and hardness of the whole mattress is lacked. With the continuous expansion of the Chinese mattress consumption market, the evaluation of the mattress hardness can not stay in subjective and qualitative description, and the evaluation and classification of the mattress hardness must be carried out through standard quantitative tests, so that on one hand, the evaluation can help consumers to select and purchase mattresses suitable for the consumers, and on the other hand, the evaluation is also beneficial to the standardized design and production of enterprises.
Meanwhile, with the further development of customized furniture, the quantitative test and evaluation of the hardness of the mattress are also the basis of customized production of the mattress. This is mainly because the human body is a personalized human body, different people have different reminders and weights, and different reminders and weights have different requirements on the hardness and hardness distribution of the mattress. For example, the lumbar curve of Asian people is gentler than that of European and American people, the European and American people have larger gaps between the lumbar curve and the mattress, so that the whole hardness of the mattress is smaller in order to keep the natural shape of the spine, and particularly, the sinking amount of the hip region is large enough. Therefore, the hardness of the mattress is different from that of the western mattress in the selection range of Chinese consumers, and the hardness standard of the mattress made by the western countries is not suitable for Chinese. At present, the standard mattress hardness testing method in China is still in a blank state, and the standard for setting the hardness grading of the mattress according to the body type of Chinese people is lacking.
Accordingly, there is an urgent need for a quantitative test method for hardness grading of mattress, which can provide scientific basis for humanized design and customized production of mattress.

Compared with the prior art, the invention has the advantages that: (1) at present, whether in the market range or in the scientific research field, the description about the hardness of the mattress is mostly or qualitatively. The qualitative description is not beneficial to the comparison between enterprise products and the standardized production and design, and simultaneously, the qualitative description restricts the innovative design and the customized design and production of the mattress.

(3) the invention can also test the hardness of each point on the mattress, and draw the hardness distribution map of the whole mattress according to the test result. The reasonability of the support of each area of the mattress is evaluated through the hardness distribution and the body shape and the weight of a user, particularly whether the lumbar support is reasonable or not is evaluated, and whether the natural bending state of the spine can be ensured. A common zoned mattress is divided into five regions, head, shoulder, back, waist, hip, and leg. The hardness grading and hardness distribution of the mattress provide data support for the modular design and customized production of the mattress;
(4) through the mattress hardness test, the invention can provide visual and scientific basis for consumers to select and purchase mattresses;
(5) the critical value of the pressure of the terminal arteriole of the human body is 4KPa, if the pressure applied to the local part of the human body from the outside is more than two times of the arterial pressure of the terminal capillary, namely 9.33KPa, and the pressure lasts for 1-2h, the perfusion of the capillary to tissues can be blocked, the hypoxia of the tissues is caused, and the bedsore is possibly formed due to large long-term pressure. The influence of the supporting force of the mattress on the blood circulation of a human body can be relieved by posture adjustment of turning over and the like for healthy people, and the turning over and posture adjustment and the like must be assisted by guardians or nursing staff for old people with inconvenient actions or people with restricted behaviors. The mattress has high hardness, and the turnover frequency is more frequent. Therefore, the invention can provide scientific theoretical basis for the monitoring work of the old with inconvenient actions and the person with restricted behaviors. The hardness S value of the common mattress is 3-4, and the posture needs to be adjusted once at intervals of 30 min; the hardness S value is 4-5, and the posture needs to be adjusted once at an interval of 50 min; the hardness S value is 5-6, and the posture needs to be adjusted once at an interval of 60 min;
(6) the market share of intelligent furniture is getting bigger and bigger, the intelligent design of the mattress is still in the early development stage, and the lack of a standardized mattress hardness evaluation method is an important factor for limiting the intelligent development of the mattress. The quantitative test device, method and evaluation method for grading mattress hardness can exactly solve the problem. The mattress hardness grading quantitative test device, the method and the evaluation method provided by the invention can provide scientific theoretical basis and data support for intelligent adjustment and intelligent monitoring of the intelligent bed;
