An orthopedic mattress (or orthopedic mattress) is a mattress designed to support the joints, back
and overall body. As its name suggests, an orthopedic mattress has been influenced by the medical
study of orthopedics which focuses on disorders or deformities of the spine and
joints.
Orthopedic mattresses offer high levels of support, pressure relief and comfort.
Whilst they are particularly beneficial for those who have a bad back or
experience aches and pains throughout the night, this type of mattress isn't only
for those who suffer from back pain.
An orthopedic mattress is
one that's specially designed to reduce stress on your back, neck and joints
and alleviate aches and pains. ... You can also buy memory foam orthopedic mattresses that do not have springs; instead
they're designed to mimic the firmness and orthopedic qualities of sprung versions.

look at orthopedic mattresses containing visco elastic foam. These products
recognize how well memory foam is in contouring, and they contain other
properties which work with the memory foam to create a product best suited to
keep you properly aligned and comfortable.
