Is a very firm mattress good for osteoporosis?
Hi there ,I am looking for a very firm mattress for my mother who is 67 she has a back problem and has orthoritous and she is heavy weight also.
People r suggesting imperial ortho posturestic.kindly suggest is it right for her .
Hi Raabz,
Thank you for your question.
I am very sorry but I cannot find any details on the model you refer to which makes it impossible for me to comment on the mattress.
I would also need to know your mum’s body weight in order to be able to recommend a mattress from our Ranges.
If you are to purchase a traditional pocket sprung mattress then the spring tension is dictated by body weight as the springs are there to give you the support.
| Bodyweight | Spring tension |
|---|---|
| Upto 16 Stone / 50-101kg | Medium (1.4mm) |
| 16 Stone / 101kg Upwards | Firm (1.6mm) |
| Available in Bespoke Products (Please Call) | Soft (1.2mm) |
We would also need to know as to whether you require a mattress with a firm spring but softer upholstery layers or both firm springs and firm upholstery layers. The upholstery layers are there to give you the comfort.
I hope the above is of assistance but I would recommend telephoning our Office in order to discuss your requirements fully. Please telephone 0161 437 4419.
Kind regards Julie
