How to Shop For An Orthopaedic Mattress
If you struggle with back, muscle or joint pain at night, we’re pretty sure you’ve been told by one or more health professionals to buy an orthopaedic mattress. But shopping for the right one can be confusing and frustrating.
At Dial-a-Bed, we understand it isn’t easy to find the right orthopaedic mattress, because there are so many different options available. How do you know which one is best for you? Well, we are here to provide you with some advice and guidance on all things related to orthopaedic-type mattresses - from what they are to what you need to consider before buying one.
What Is An Orthopaedic Mattress?
An orthopaedic mattress is the term used for extra firm mattress types. The name comes from the area of medical health, orthopaedics, which relates to the study of the musculoskeletal system. It is thought that an extra firm, or orthopaedic bed, will give more support to the body, the spine, and muscles to prevent or alleviate pain.
What You Should Look for in an Orthopaedic Mattress?
The best orthopaedic mattress is one that is made from excellent quality materials. Extra firm mattresses are designed with multiple layers in them to create that extra firm, enhanced-orthopaedic support. Therefore, it is key to choose a mattress that is manufactured by a trusted brand that you know uses high-quality materials.
When you shop at Dial-a-Bed, you can rest assured that we only stock beds and mattresses from brands that have stood the test of time and use the best quality materials when constructing their products.
Key Factors to Keep in Mind before Buying an Orthopaedic Mattress
When buying a mattress, including a full orthopaedic mattress, you need to keep a few key factors in mind. Keeping these criteria clear in your mind will enable you to make the right purchase the first time around, and this will avoid purchase-disappointment later down the line.
The Price Factor
Be clear on what your budget is when you want to buy an orthopaedic mattress. Every brand has a varied price range when it comes to mattress types and therefore you should never feel restricted when you set a price range. Knowing your budget, enables you to know your affordability and will make it easier to choose a mattress that’s perfect for your health – both physically and financially.
The Quality Factor
Investing in a mattress that is made from high-quality materials will guarantee that you will have a bed for years to come. Poor quality beds might be cheap, but they will not necessarily offer you comfort or longevity. When shopping at our store, be sure to ask about the materials used in the bed you’re looking at and what the brand offers in terms of features and benefits.
The Feature Factor
Apart from firmness, are there any other features that you’re looking for in a bed that will affect your buying choice? For example, are you wanting the materials to be organic or anti-allergenic? Do you want the brand to offer you a mattress that can be made in extra length should you require it?
