Buying a new or replacement orthopaedic mattress is an important measure when it comes to the health of your back and indeed your body as a whole. Using a good orthopaedic mattress is one of the most important measures that you can take to ensure a good night's sleep and avoid back pain and muscular discomfort. It is critical to your body's long term health. |
| |
Even so, millions of people suffer from back and muscular problems needlessly and simply because they have not purchased, or considered purchasing, an orthopaedic mattress. |

So why should you think about buying an orthopaedic mattress?
In its optimum alignment, the human spine takes the form of a double "S" shape, a shape that an old or poorly supporting mattress may not be able to support. |
| When this shape is not supported and encouraged by a good mattress, back problems can arise. Orthopaedic mattresses and beds are constructed with spine, skeletal and muscular support as their main objectives and this is why they can help, rest and support our backs. This contributes to our overall well being |
When should you replace an orthopaedic mattress?
Despite the fact that most older mattresses have a typical life expectancy of no more than 8-10 years, many people continue to use the same mattress for as long as 20 years. Once a mattress (even a good one) has reached this age it will have started to develop irregular support, failing comfort, lumps and other potentially harmful irregularities. All of these structural failings can increase the possibility of preventing restful and restorative sleep and may even start to harm the back. |
What does an orthopaedic mattress do?
An orthopaedic mattress helps encourage a good night's sleep by promoting a healthy back. It does this by ensuring that the spine is supported in the correct alignment with the avoidance of localized pressure points. People who use orthopedic beds tend to sleep better, feel more rested in the morning and move around and wake up less frequently during the night. |
| Today orthopaedic mattresses come in a number of different constructions and the modern view is that, rather than being very hard, a mattress should have the ability to contour and mould. This enables the mattress to fill the gap under the lower back whilst still being firm and offering support the rest of the body without sagging or deflecting. |
