Your Quest for a Genuine Orthopedic Mattress Ends Here

Orthopedic mattresses guarantee a better night’s sleep and we are here to help you learn all there is about them in order to make an informed buying decision. First and foremost, let us shatter a popular opinion that specialised orthopedic mattresses are for older adults only or that they serve a medical need alone. Think of the decision to switch to an orthopedic mattress as a proactive step towards your overall wellness. 

Why the Orthopedic Mattress Needs a Rebrand

With decades of research and success behind us, at Duroflex we don’t dispute that orthopedic mattresses have been a necessary and impactful bedroom item for people with chronic back pain. Older adults too have shown amazing transformation in posture and sleep related issues. Even if you don’t belong to either group, don’t write off the orthopedic mattress just yet because this medical-necessity perception is not the complete picture. 

Simply put, an orthopedic mattress is engineered to provide the ideal support necessary for maintaining the natural alignment of your spine while you rest. And here’s the quiet truth, as much as sleep is a restorative process, it is also known to be a major contributor to back pain, either from sleeping on the wrong mattress or the wrong posture. In other words, almost everyone who prioritises good sleep and good health will benefit from it. With its enhanced edge support technology, these mattresses last longer without sagging, to provide proper spinal alignment in your sleep. 

In conclusion, orthopedic mattresses are not just for older adults or people with back issues. Consider upgrading to a Duroflex orthopedic mattress if you are prone to sitting long hours at a desk, an athlete or fitness lover who needs rapid muscle recovery, or a side sleeper who struggles with hip or shoulder stiffness upon waking.

What Makes a Mattress Orthopedic?

Features that qualify a mattress as orthopedic are:

  • Zoned Support that takes care of your lumbar spine with targeted firmness, but provides soft cushioning for your joints, hips and shoulders. 
  • Crafted with high-density foam and pocket spring systems designed to support the spine's natural S-curve, helping reduce the risk of developing chronic back pain.
  • Distributes weight evenly, easing your muscles and joints by reducing pressure points.
  • Plush comfort but zero motion transfer making it ideal for co-sleepers and light sleepers.
