Orthopedic Mattresses

An orthopedic mattress is built for people who need firmer-than-average support — primarily back and stomach sleepers, and anyone waking with lower back pain. The support core is divided into seven zones that carry the body with varying firmness: the shoulder zone is softer so the shoulder can settle naturally, while the pelvic and lumbar zones are firmer to stop the midsection sinking. The result is a spine held in neutral alignment through the night, reducing muscular tension and pressure on the intervertebral discs. It is worth knowing that "orthopedic" does not automatically mean harder — an excessively firm mattress presses into the shoulder and hip and can make pain worse. The firmness of our models is chosen so support stays solid while pressure points are still relieved. If you have a diagnosed spinal condition, discuss mattress choice with your physiotherapist.
