We all know the importance of getting a good night’s sleep. However, as we age, the typical methods for getting enough sleep just might not suffice. With aging, it is only natural that our sleep cycle changes, not to mention the increasing prevalence of health conditions that makes it all the more challenging to get a restful night of sleep. While most homeowners tend to be more concerned with their master bedroom designs and having them complement their modern interior, it cannot be denied that the mattress and bed integrated into the space matter as well. With the right mattress and bed pairing, the needs of the seniors living in your home will be efficiently met. Capable of making all the difference between uncomfortable nights of tossing and turning or a full 8 hours of necessary sleep, this guide covers the important purchase considerations for seniors.

What Type Of Mattress Is Best For The Elderly?

Black Diamond Ultra-Cool Latex ViroClean Antimicrobial Responsive Micro-Spring

As with all furniture, there is no doubt that managing your budget is pivotal. But when it comes to mattresses, there is much debate as to whether a quality mattress is a luxury or a necessity. But with the possibility of waking up with lower back pain and feeling exhausted, investing in the right mattress that mitigates these risks that the elderly commonly face is a must. So, is turning directly to orthopaedic mattresses the only solution for the seniors in your home? Here are the best mattresses to consider:

1. Memory Foam Mattress

Memory foam mattresses have become increasingly popular in recent years. Doing a phenomenal job at evenly distributing one’s weight, foam mattresses can minimise aches and pains associated with pressure build-up. Moreover, it provides sufficient support to the entire body, relieving pain, relaxing the muscles and allowing elderly adults to get uninterrupted sleep. This body-hugging mattress also ensures excellent motion isolation, so elderly couples do not have to worry about transfer across the surface due to their partner’s movements.

2. Latex Mattress

For something firmer and made out of a natural material, try a latex mattress. Possessing properties that are similar to that of the memory foam mattress, latex mattresses have an edge due to their springiness, density, and natural physical properties. A package deal when it comes to support and comfort, latex mattresses are also a perfect fit for orthopaedics due to their spring-like physical form. Great for spinal alignment and relieving any pressure points, choosing mattresses like the Seville Lux Black Diamond Ultra-Cool Latex ViroClean Antimicrobial Responsive Micro-Spring will have the elderly in your home bidding good riddance to back pain.

3. Responsive Coil Mattress

Also known as pocket spring mattresses, they come with a core made of metal coils covered by an outer layer made of foam, latex or other materials. The oldest type of mattress in the industry, this traditional option is highly resilient, firm, and supportive. Having loads of positive responses, this is an ideal choice for those who prefer a firmer feel. The Botania Naturally Hypoallergenic Natural Latex Responsive Coil Support Mattress, for example, comes with a premium pocketed spring system and a natural latex topper. The premium pocketed spring is also calibrated to flex sufficiently to reduce motion shock and respond to body contours.

4. Hybrid

Hybrid mattresses are now more common, containing an innerspring support core that consists of pocketed coils and an additional component made out of other materials such as foam or latex that offers comfort. Combining the benefits of a foam or latex mattress with that of traditional coil ones deliver the best of both worlds. This combination contours perfectly to the bodies of the elderly, relieving pressure points, while materials like latex provide excellent airflow. At Cellini, we boast options like the Flow Silver Fresh Antistatic Natural Latex Responsive Coil Support that checks all the boxes.
