What is an Orthopaedic Mattress?

An orthopaedic mattress is specifically designed to provide exceptional support, especially for your back and joints. Created in collaboration with medical professionals and sleep experts, these mattresses are firmer than standard ones and help maintain correct spinal alignment while you sleep. If you often wake up with aches, stiffness or back pain, an orthopaedic mattress can help reduce discomfort and promote better posture.

How Firm Is an Orthopaedic Mattress?

Orthopaedic mattresses are generally on the firmer side to provide the support your body needs for proper spinal alignment and pressure relief. At bedkingdom, we understand that everyone’s comfort preferences are unique - that’s why we offer orthopaedic mattresses in a range of firmness levels, starting at medium for those who prefer gentle support and going up to extra firm for additional support.

Orthopaedic Mattress Types

There are several types of orthopaedic mattresses, each offering unique benefits to suit different sleepers and preferences. Our orthopaedic mattresses come in two main coil types and two filling options:

Orthopaedic Mattress Coil Types:

• Pocket Sprung Orthopaedic Mattress: Individual coils work independently to provide superior support and motion isolation. Many include a foam or pillow top layer for added comfort and pressure relief.
• Open Coil Orthopaedic Mattress: A traditional coil design offering reliable firmness and excellent value - ideal for those seeking strong support at an affordable price.

Orthopaedic Mattress Fillings:

• Memory Foam: Contours to your body’s shape, delivering exceptional pressure relief and promoting healthy spinal alignment.

What is the Best Thickness for an Orthopaedic Mattress?

The ideal thickness for an orthopaedic mattress depends on your body weight, comfort preference, and specific orthopaedic needs. Generally, a thicker mattress provides greater support and durability, making it ideal for heavier individuals or those requiring extra back and joint support. A thickness between 25–30 cm often offers the perfect balance of comfort and stability.

What are the Benefits of an Orthopaedic Mattress?

Orthopaedic mattresses are especially beneficial for those suffering from back pain or joint pain, or anyone in need of extra support to improve sleep posture. They are also recommended for individuals seeking a firmer sleep surface. Some of the key benefits of an orthopaedic mattress include:

• Targeted Spinal Support: Each mattress is engineered to distribute your body weight evenly, reducing pressure on the spine and joints for a more comfortable night’s sleep.

Does an Orthopedic Mattress Help with Back Pain?

Yes, an orthopaedic mattress can help with back pain. Its firmer support encourages proper spinal alignment, easing pressure on your lower back while you sleep. Firmness alone isn’t a fix for everyone though. The right level of support depends on your body weight, sleep position and comfort preference, so it’s worth trying different levels to see which works for you.

What is the Best Orthopaedic Mattress?

There isn’t one single best orthopaedic mattress, it depends on your body weight, sleep position and firmness preference. A pocket sprung orthopaedic mattress gives targeted support, while orthopaedic memory foam adds pressure-relieving comfort. The best way to choose is trying a few types to see what feels right for you.

What is the Best Orthopedic Mattress for Back Pain?

For back pain, a medium-firm to firm pocket sprung orthopaedic mattress is often recommended. Individual coils respond to your body’s shape while keeping your spine properly supported. If you’d like extra cushioning too, an orthopaedic memory foam mattress combines this firm support with pressure relief around your hips and shoulders.

How Much Does an Orthopaedic Mattress Cost?

Orthopaedic mattresses tend to sit at the higher end of the price range, reflecting the denser materials and reinforced support needed for correct spinal alignment. Cost varies depending on size, coil count and whether you choose springs only or added memory foam. We offer 0% APR finance, allowing you to spread the cost.
