Rating of the 21 best orthopedic mattresses

The quality of sleep affects our performance throughout the day, our physical and emotional state. The spine bears the main load during sleep. The height and material of the pillow matters, but it is easier to choose them based on your feelings. Finding a mattress that will allow you to relax and unwind is more difficult, and it costs much more. Therefore, you need to approach your choice responsibly. Descriptions of characteristics and customer reviews will help you choose the best mattress for sleeping.

Review of manufacturers

The most famous manufacturers of orthopedic mattresses in Russia are five companies: Askona, Consul, Dreamline, Ormatek and Toris .

Askona is the largest Russian plant. Famous brands are produced on its premises: Serta, IKEA, King Koil and others. The cost of their products is higher than most of their competitors.

Ormatek is the second largest production. Their prices for popular models are always slightly lower than their competitors. In general, the company sells products at the most reasonable prices. Dreamline specializes in the production of bedroom furniture and orthopedic mattresses at a very affordable price.

Toris and Consul are also quite large and well-known factories. Mattresses from Consul are on average 30% more expensive than similar models. Toris offers the most modest selection of mattresses, but at an adequate price.

Among foreign companies, the leaders are Sealy , Serta (in Russia, orthopedic mattresses under this brand are manufactured by the Askona ) and the French Simmons , known here as Sleepeezee .

Which orthopedic mattresses are best avoided?

Products from unknown manufacturers. This is an important point, since small companies do not have the necessary production capacity and resort to manual assembly. It is impossible to make a high-quality mattress this way.
Orthopedic mattresses without an inspection zipper, which makes it possible to check the filling. Often, unscrupulous manufacturers lay ordinary foam rubber instead of the declared felt or coconut, and instead of five- or six-turn springs, they use four-turn springs. Such products have nothing to do with mattresses intended for the prevention of diseases of the musculoskeletal system.
Persistent chemical smell. Low-quality glue may be used in the production of mattresses. Naturally, there can be no talk of a “sweet sleep” on such a mattress.

The best soft spring orthopedic mattresses

Mattress Ascona Balance Smart (Balance Smart) 90 x 200 cm

Average price: 2505 RUR

Advantages: One of the most affordable orthopedic spring mattresses is made on the basis of “Bonnel”, which elastically supports the spine and prevents its deformation. The softness of the springs and the elasticity of the sleeping surface ensures a comfortable rest. Noise and friction in the mattress are eliminated; the coils of the springs do not touch each other under load due to their bicone shape. The softness of the mattress is given by polyurethane foam slabs, protected from the spring block by spunboard - a durable, non-toxic, highly breathable and environmentally friendly material. Polyurethane foam does not put back pressure on the muscles and does not interfere with free blood circulation. Maximum load capacity 90 kg. Disadvantages: Slippery coating, it is better to use sheets with elastic bands. Reviews: “I purchased it on the advice of a doctor, after spinal surgery I can’t sleep on regular mattresses, I need normal support, otherwise I can’t get out of bed. But I sleep great on it, it’s very comfortable, take it for prevention.” “Cheap doesn’t always mean bad. The mattress performed excellently during use.”

Stiffness options

Sleeping attributes vary in level of hardness:

Soft and moderately soft. Spring with polyurethane foam or latex. A sleeping place will help you quickly regain strength and recover after physical activity.
Moderately hard. Spirals in combination with coconut, orthopedic foam or polyurethane foam. A bed of high or moderate hardness will avoid problems with posture.
Tough. Springless, made of polyurethane foam, or independent spring blocks, reinforced with coconut coir.

Maximum weight supported

A mattress can only support a certain amount of the sleeper's body weight. The minimum load per seat is 80 kg, the maximum is 150, 180. The total weight of those sleeping on the entire mattress can reach 245 kg. You can find out the permissible load by looking at the information on the label.

When buying a mattress, you need to check whether its parameters correspond to the size of the bed on which it will lie. It’s good if its length was 20 cm greater than your height. For a single mattress, the width must be at least 80 cm, for a double mattress - from 160 cm. You must take into account your equipment.

What to look for when choosing a mattress

When a person decides to buy a new mattress, of course he wants to buy the most fashionable and comfortable product. He believes that now he will have a good night's sleep, because no forces will act on the spine, forcing him to take an uncomfortable and incorrect position. But in reality it turns out that my back and neck are still stiff, and besides, allergies have appeared. What's the problem? Yes, you just need to know how to choose the right orthopedic mattress.

Side stiffness

Today there are several levels of rigidity.

Increased. Recommended for back diseases and osteochondrosis. Sleeping on such a surface is not very comfortable, but it perfectly supports problem areas. Such mattresses must be purchased for medical reasons, or if a person’s weight exceeds one hundred kilograms.
Average. The best option for a healthy person who has an average build and dimensions.
Low. Soft or moderately soft mattresses are intended for older people and children from three to fifteen years old.

The hardness of a mattress directly depends on its filling. There is no need to overpay for a reinforced spring block design or a super-fashionable hard “filling” if a person is of moderate weight. It is enough to choose a softer model with latex filling, the main thing is that the quality of the product is at its best.

Choose a mattress according to your preferences. There is no need to suffer on a hard surface if you are used to a soft surface. There is no need to follow fashion trends.

Filler

Latex, polyurethane foam, and coconut coir are usually used as fillers. Thermal felt is used between the filler layer and the springs as an additional protective layer.

Pay attention to the naturalness of the material, since artificial ones often cause allergies, even if their characteristics convincingly state “hypoallergenic”.

Most often, a combined filler consisting of several layers is used. They can be fastened together using special equipment, but sometimes they are simply glued together. You will immediately notice such a mattress by its specific smell, which can be toxic and harmful to the body.

Upholstery

Give preference to natural fabrics - cotton, linen. Synthetics will not allow you to get a good night's sleep - the body will not be able to breathe. The upholstery fabric should be durable and non-marking.

It is recommended to purchase a removable cover along with the mattress, which will protect the upholstery from dirt and stains. You can wash it at any time, and the mattress itself will look like new.

Number of springs per place

The more springs there are, especially if they are independent and each located in a separate pocket, the better, since they will respond more “sensitively” to load distribution.

The standard is 256 springs per square meter, but there can be more than a thousand.

Maximum weight supported

Each mattress is designed for a specific load. The heavier the person, the harder the surface should be. Ideally, before purchasing, you should lie down on a mattress and check how evenly the weight is distributed and how deeply the springs sink. This is why it is not recommended to buy mattresses online – you won’t be able to sit or lie on them remotely.

For a person of average weight, a mattress filled with latex or combined with coconut fibers is suitable. If the weight exceeds a hundred kilograms, then you need to opt for hard mattresses made of coconut coir with a reinforced spring block.

Double mattresses for spouses often have different firmness zones so that the lighter person does not roll under the side of the second spouse.

Availability of handles for turning over

Periodically, the mattress needs to be turned over to avoid deformation, especially if the spring block has independent springs. Some models are so heavy that you only need two people to turn them over.

Agree that doing this is much more convenient and easier if there are special loop handles.

Memory effect

This innovative coating was created back in the seventies of the last century for astronauts in order to reduce overload on the body. Now memory foam material or memory foam can be found in real life.

The meaning of the effect is that the surface “remembers” the position of a person’s body in a dream and his weight, thereby providing comfortable “notches and depressions”, and then restores its original appearance.

Such “smart tricks” will cost you a lot, but they are not always useful or advisable. The disadvantages include high cost, warming properties, which is not at all good in hot weather, the possibility of allergic reactions, as well as unusual enveloping sensations.

Pros and cons of products

Springless mattresses are offered in a wide range. They have the following advantages:

strength and durability. There is nothing to break in them, so they can last more than 10 years;
the materials used in mattresses are not subject to electrification and do not create a magnetic field;
due to the absence of metal parts, the products do not create noise;
the ability to choose a surface with different degrees of elasticity;
ensuring optimal load on the spine;
resistance to moisture and temperature changes. If the material absorbs moisture, it evaporates very quickly;
when using high-quality filler, springless mattresses will not deform or sag;
compactness. They are convenient to store and transport.

Products of this type also have disadvantages:

price. Natural hypoallergenic filler will have a high cost;
inability to check the quality of the filler. For expensive mattresses, the cover cannot be removed. It is easy to avoid difficulties if you purchase products from a trusted manufacturer;
The maximum weight that the mattress can withstand is 120 kg. Exceeding the specified figure will quickly render the product unusable;
The layers of a springless mattress are glued together with a special compound. While it is new, it may have an unpleasant, pungent odor. After some time it disappears.

All the pros and cons of the mattress depend on the manufacturer, the quality of the filler used and the adhesive composition.

Upholstery

There are also certain requirements for upholstery fabric. It should be made of high-quality knitwear, silk, non-woven materials, jacquard with a ratio of synthetics and natural fibers of 30/70. The cover must be quilted, otherwise the mattress will spread out. In appearance, these are squares with a side of no more than 2 cm. There should be no gaps in the stitches. To check the quality of the material, stretch and rub it a little. If the quality of the fabric is low, it will immediately begin to fray or become electrified.

Additional accessories

Covers serve to soften hard bases and keep the structure intact. For sewing, durable, wear-resistant furniture fabrics are used that are easy to clean at home. To increase service life and reduce friction between the filler and the fabric, the cover is attached to a thin layer of polyurethane foam, holofiber or padding polyester with a density of 100 g. As an additional layer, some manufacturers lay lush felt. Some models are equipped with a removable cover.

Experts recommend giving preference to non-removable protective coatings. The high-density polyurethane foam body, packed in rigid fabric, firmly holds the filler and prevents it from “creeping” in the future. A mattress cover-sheet, which is best purchased together with the mattress, will help prevent premature wear of the cover.

Average price: 14932 RUR

Advantages: This mattress is created for those who like a comfortable and soft bed. Recommended for beds with an adjustable headboard option.

The cover is the Elit model - jacquard fabric on a cotton base. Disadvantages: None found.
