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.
What is the Difference Between an Orthopaedic Mattress and a Memory Foam Mattress?
While both orthopaedic and memory foam mattresses support your spine and joints, they do so in different ways. Orthopaedic mattresses are typically firmer, providing targeted support to relieve pressure points and improve posture. Whereas memory foam mattresses use contouring technology to cradle your body, offering a softer, more cushioned feel that adapts to your natural shape.
However, you can find orthopaedic memory foam mattresses, which combine the best of both worlds - firm support with the comfort and pressure relief of memory foam.
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 Bed Kingdom, 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.
- Springs Only: Focuses purely on firmness and structure - perfect for sleepers who prefer a no-nonsense, supportive surface.

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.
Benefits of an Orthopaedic Mattress and Who They’re Best For
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.
- Pain Relief: Ideal for those suffering from back pain, our orthopaedic mattresses are designed to offer the firm support needed to help reduce discomfort and promote recovery.
- Durability: Constructed with high-quality materials, our orthopaedic mattresses are built to last, maintaining their supportive qualities over time.
- Improved Sleep Quality: By providing a supportive and comfortable sleep environment, our orthopaedic mattresses can help improve overall sleep quality, leaving you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated each morning.
- Enhanced Circulation: An orthopaedic mattress helps to reduce tension and allows muscles to relax naturally through the night, promoting healthy circulation.
- Ideal for All Sleepers: Especially suitable for back and stomach sleepers who need firm, reliable support.
How to Care for an Orthopaedic Mattress
To keep your orthopaedic mattress in top condition and extend its lifespan, rotate it regularly to ensure even wear and consistent support. Use a mattress protector to guard against spills, dust and allergens, and spot clean as needed to prevent stains. Ensure your mattress is supported by a compatible bed base to prevent sagging.
