Mattresses play an important role in treating arthritis and joint pain. Choosing the right mattress largely impacts the affected areas. Exerting your body weight on a mattress for long hours that don't relieve pressure leads to various issues, including soreness in your knee joints. Medium-firm and firm mattresses are the best-suited mattresses to manage arthritis and frequent joint pain, but if you are still experiencing pain, you might want to try a soft or ultra soft mattress. Here are some of the best mattress types in India for arthritis that you can buy from a leading brand.

Memory Foam Mattress 

Due to its body contouring plushness, the memory foam mattress helps in relieving pressure from the pain points. A high-density memory foam mattress provides adequate support and aligns the sleeping posture enabling people to have a good night’s sleep. Memory foam mattresses are best suited for young adults and middle-aged persons with average or more than average weight. Depending on your age, sleeping position, and level of joint pain, you can try an ultra soft memory foam mattress in India or go for medium firm memory foam mattresses.  

Latex Mattress 

A latex mattress is also one of the best mattresses for managing joint pain, arthritis, and orthopedic issues. Latex mattresses are comfortable, supportive, and durable. They are highly responsive as compared to a memory foam mattress but also help isolate motion transfer, which works great for those sharing beds. This combination of responsiveness when applied pressure and motion isolation helps in providing support to those with arthritis and joint pain. Latex mattresses are also naturally breathable, hypoallergenic, and resistant to dust mites, mold, and mildew, which are added benefits.

Hybrid Mattress

Hybrid mattresses consist of an innerspring base with multiple layers of foam. The upper soft layers of the mattress help in relieving pressure from the pain points and comfort the joint pain. The lower layers of hybrid mattresses provide the necessary support that is required to align the body posture and cushion the body to ensure no undue pressure is forced on the joints due to incorrect sleeping position. 

Conclusion 

Mattresses that are too firm or too soft put excess pressure on areas like shoulders, hips, back, knee, and neck only exacerbating the pain. Doctors also recommend medium-firm mattresses with softer tops as it helps cushion the painful joints and provide adequate support. But it is best to consult with a doctor before buying one. Leading mattress companies like King Koil in India manufacture a variety of imported international quality medium-firm and ultra soft luxury mattresses that can be helpful for people experiencing joint pains. You can easily choose from King Koil’s range of the best ultra luxury firm and soft mattresses in India by checking your Sleep ID; a feature that suggests mattresses best suited for your body type and sleeping needs.
