With pressure-point relief, they will reduce any stress in your joints. They boast superior motion isolation technology, which will make sure you don't wake your partner with your vigorous movements during the night, unlike ordinary spring mattresses. One downside is that these mattresses can smell a bit like chemicals at first, so you'll have to air them out for at least 24 hours before adding sheets.

Choosing the Comfort Level for You
Firm Mattresses

Interested in getting a firm mattress? A 12-inch orthopedic mattress might be a good choice for you. These improved circulation mattresses promote deeper and more restful sleep. Firm mattresses are ideal for individuals who tend to sleep on their back and have a 34-36 pound indentation load deflection ranking. They evenly distribute your weight, supporting your back as well as other sensitive areas. A potential downside is that they might be uncomfortable if you're not used to sleeping on firm surfaces, so it might take a few days to get used to them. Moreover, they can put painful tension on specific pressure points, including the shoulders and hips.

Medium Firm Mattresses

Interested in getting a medium firm mattress? A 12-inch orthopedic mattress could be a good choice for you. Medium firm mattresses have a 29-31 pound indentation load deflection rating and are ideal for individuals who usually move from their back to sides when sleeping. They are good for couples where one individual who likes to sleep on their side and the other on their back or stomach. They evenly distribute your body weight, supporting your joints as well as other vulnerable areas. One downside is that medium firm mattresses can become lumpy or sag over time, so it's possible that they'll be less comfortable and supportive since your body won't be aligned well.

Plush Mattresses

Interested in getting a plush mattress? A 12-inch orthopedic mattress could be a good choice for you. These mattresses are ideal for people who usually sleep on their back, sides, or stomach and have a 19-21 pound indentation load deflection ranking. These back problems and/or joint pain mattresses help ensure that any pain you have doesn't get worse. These contouring support mattresses adjust to your body for superior comfort.

Another drawback is that they can become lumpy or sag with extended use, so your body won't be properly supported when sleeping.

The Sizes Available for 12-Inch Orthopedic Mattresses
King-Size Mattresses

Having trouble deciding what size 12-inch orthopedic mattress to get? These mattresses are designed to spaciously fit couples, providing plenty of space for you to move around. They are perfect for master bedrooms and measure 76" X 80". However, they are heavy and large, making them difficult to move and flip. Moreover, king-size mattresses are not great for spaces with limited room, since they can make the area look somewhat cluttered. If you think a king-size mattress is a good choice, you might want to take a look at this one.

Full-Size Mattresses

If you're in search of a full-size mattress, the incredibly comfortable 12-inch orthopedic mattress might be right for you. Full-size mattresses are ideal for couples, providing a snug fit between the two sleepers. They measure 54" X 75" and are suitable for studio apartments or other small living spaces. One downside is that these mattresses are short in length, so if you're taller than 6'3", you might want to consider a longer bed. In addition, they have a narrow width, so you will have limited space to move around when sharing your bed with another person.

Queen-Size Mattresses

Trying to find a good queen-size mattress? The incredibly comfortable 12-inch orthopedic mattress might be right for you. Queen-size mattresses are ideal for couples, providing some extra space for two people. They are ideal for master bedrooms and measure 60" X 80". However, they are not suitable for small areas, taking up a majority of the free space in the room. In addition, they are smaller than king-size mattresses, so if you like having extra space while sleeping, you should consider upgrading to a larger mattress.
