How to choose the best orthopedic mattress in the UK
Step 1: Assess sleep position and pain areas

Aim for firm or medium-firm depending on pain relief.

Pocket-sprung hybrids give support and bounce; memory foam contours for pressure relief; latex stays cool and lasts longer.

Look for high-density foam and quality pocket springs.
