What Is An Orthopaedic Mattress?
An orthopaedic mattress delivers maximum support with firm construction. Unlike softer mattresses that allow you to sink in, an orthopaedic mattress offers a rigid, stable surface.
You'll sleep ‘on top’ of the mattress rather than ‘in it’, maintaining straight spinal alignment and even weight distribution across your body.
Different Types Of Orthopaedic Mattresses
Orthopaedic mattresses achieve their firm support in various ways. Traditional designs use high-tension springs with dense comfort layers, while modern versions might incorporate extra-firm memory foam or latex.
Some combine reinforced pocket springs with firm comfort layers, and others feature zoned support that's particularly rigid in the lower back area.
How An Orthopaedic Mattress Feels
You'll immediately notice its unwavering (rock-hard) support system that doesn’t sink underneath you. There isn’t a soft surface to squash into.
That firm, solid platform is particularly beneficial for stomach sleepers because it prevents hip sinkage, while back sleepers often appreciate the enhanced lumbar support that helps maintain natural spinal curves.
The underlying point is that orthopaedic mattresses are unyielding—this suits front sleepers and some people with joint and mobility issues.
