Orthopaedic Mattresses

While a sinking soft mattress can be dreamy when we’re younger, as we get older, it becomes that much more important to invest in a new mattress with the right back support to prevent back aches and pain upon waking – which is exactly where orthopaedic mattresses come in!

What is an orthopaedic mattress?

As the name implies, an orthopaedic mattress is specifically designed to provide optimal support to key areas of the body while you sleep, promoting better posture and spinal alignment.

To do this, high-quality orthopaedic mattresses make use of a revolutionary technology which spreads body weight around evenly, rather than allowing you to sink in one place, as you would with a softer mattress. This takes the strain away from joints and other pain points, alleviating spinal pressure and reducing feelings of soreness and tenderness upon waking.

Why choose an orthopaedic mattress?

Given their naturally supportive nature, there are many excellent reasons as to why you might choose to buy an orthopaedic mattress, including some or all of the following:

  • Maximum support – whether you choose a pocketed spring mattress, memory foam mattress, or hybrid design, a firm orthopaedic mattress delivers outstanding support for your body without losing its shape.

  • Better weight distribution – being that much more robust than other mattress types, firm orthopaedic mattresses spread out your weight across a larger area, minimising the pressure on certain pain points. This also makes them a good mattress choice for heavier or larger people, as their more even weight distribution ensures that pressure spots are eliminated.

  • Encouraging a healthy posture – the older we get; the more important good sleeping posture becomes. And thanks to their unrivalled levels of support, an orthopaedic mattress is the perfect way to help you naturally settle into a more comfortable and healthier sleeping position.

  • Neutral spine alignment – lastly, an orthopaedic mattress for back pain is fantastic for keeping your spine aligned correctly from your neck down to your lower back. This minimises the stress on the body during sleep and helps you get better rest in general.

How firm are orthopaedic mattresses for back pain?

By their supportive nature, orthopaedic mattresses are generally rated as firm or extra firm – though medium-firm models do exist – but this limited range of mattress firmness is necessary because of the support levels they aim to provide.

Additional firmness is essential for allowing your body weight to be more evenly distributed across the mattress, relieving painful pressure points while maintaining a natural spinal alignment, hence why you’ll likely struggle to find an orthopaedic mattress for back pain in a gentler firmness level.

What types of orthopaedic mattresses are available?

Like any mattress, orthopaedic mattresses and beds can be purchased in an array of fillings to provide sleep support to users with an assortment of needs and ailments. Some of our orthopaedic mattress models even offer differing top-layer materials and contents to complement the firm orthopaedic base and take the edge off its hardness.

For the most part, you can find orthopaedic mattresses with all the following fillings:

What is the price of an orthopaedic mattress?

Due to their heightened levels of support, you’ll likely find that you’ll have to pay a little extra when buying a good quality orthopaedic mattress, purely because of the way they’re constructed.

For example, orthopaedic memory foam mattresses use denser, thicker layers of foam to provide better support, some of which may also include reflex foam to help your mattress retain its shape.

On the other hand, orthopaedic pocket-sprung mattresses will typically include far more springs than standard pocket-sprung models, again for better weight spread and support as you sleep.
