Orthopaedic Mattresses

Orthopaedic mattresses feature firmer support cores, typically using high-density foam or pocket springs with reduced give. The construction focuses on maintaining spinal alignment and reducing pressure points. Top layers provide comfort whilst the core delivers therapeutic support. Materials are selected specifically for durability and consistent firmness over time, unlike softer standard mattresses that may sag.

Medium-firm to firm support works best for most back conditions. The mattress should support natural spinal curves without excessive sinking. Side sleepers with back problems may need slightly softer top layers for hip and shoulder comfort, whilst back sleepers typically benefit from firmer overall support. The key is maintaining alignment whilst relieving pressure points.

Yes, orthopaedic mattresses can be made to any size or shape. This includes cut corners, curves, and tapered ends common in caravans and boats. Each mattress is manufactured to exact measurements whilst maintaining the therapeutic properties. The orthopaedic benefits remain consistent regardless of the custom shape required for the space.

High-density reflex foam forms the support core, often combined with memory foam top layers for pressure relief. Pocket spring systems provide targeted support zones. All materials meet BS 7177 fire safety standards for insurance compliance. Covers use breathable fabrics to prevent overheating, which can worsen joint stiffness and discomfort during sleep.

Lead times typically range from 7-14 working days depending on seasonal demand and current production capacity. Custom shapes may require additional time for template creation. Each orthopaedic mattress is built to order rather than held in stock, ensuring fresh materials and precise construction for the therapeutic benefits required.

Guarantees up to 10 years are available, covering structural integrity and support retention. This includes the firmness levels essential for orthopaedic benefits. The guarantee ensures the mattress maintains its therapeutic properties over time. Free UK delivery is included, and the mattress arrives ready to use immediately upon delivery.

Orthopaedic mattresses can significantly help by reducing pressure on painful joints and maintaining proper alignment. The firmer support prevents excessive sinking that can strain joints during movement. Memory foam top layers contour to body shape, reducing pressure points on hips, shoulders, and knees commonly affected by arthritis.
