Abstract

The palm fiber mattress is made of palm fiber and natural latex material. In recent years, with the society's environmental protection requirements and the sustainable development of resources, more and more researches on its performance have been made. In this paper, through the compression fatigue test of the palm fiber mattress test block, simulate the impact of human sleep on the mattress under 8 hours a day, study the fatigue performance of the palm fiber mattress under different loads, and analyze the experiment to find that the  palm fiber mattress The stress-strain curve of the fiber mattress test block and the deformation of the mattress test block. Finally, the obtained results were subjected to finite element simulation and linear fitting, and the calculated results were consistent with the experiments, which proved the validity of the experimental data.
