What is an Orthopaedic Mattress?

An orthopaedic mattress - or orthopedic mattress for our friends - is a mattress designed to offer a firmer sleep surface, providing targeted support for your back and joints. Manufacturers first developed orthopaedic mattresses in the 1950s as the benefits of orthopaedic support were discovered.

Specifically designed to offer excellent support and comfort, an orthopaedic mattress provides many benefits:

• Maximum support

  The firm surface of an orthopaedic mattress means you get optimum push-back for the perfect sleeping position. This will reduce tossing and turning and help you to wake up feeling refreshed.

• Even weight distribution

  An orthopaedic mattress evenly spreads your body weight to prevent the build-up of pressure points, particularly in your neck, back and hips.

• Correct spinal alignment

  Orthopaedic mattresses ensure correct spinal alignment to help alleviate stress on the spine and reduce back pain.

• Healthy posture

  An orthopaedic mattress helps you to adopt the correct posture as you sleep, promoting healthier blood circulation throughout the night.
