Aside from all of the above, what else can an elderly person do to improve their sleep? Find the best mattress for older people - this is a key component to getting a good nights sleep.
Many older people suffer from ailments such as back or hip pain, some may struggle to get into, or out of, a bed that is too high.
We believe that a medium or firm mattress is best for older people. This is largely due to the fact that they will support your body and any aches or pains better than a soft mattress. They are also easier to get out of as you don't sink quite so far into the mattress.DFI offer a number of mattresses that are perfect for older people, these mattresses offer the perfect combination of firmness and low profile height.
The Sanctuary mattress has a traditional mattress profile that isn’t too high. This is ideal for older people as they will not have the worry of trying to hop on a super high mattress!
The Sanctuary mattress offers great orthopaedic support but is not too firm, it has been classified as Soft-Medium Firmness by our panel of Sleep Experts.
It is a 1200 pocket sprung mattress; these individually nested pocket springs eliminate pressure points and provide maximum support for your body.
The surface of the Posture Plus has supportive fillings which provides an extra firm surface for customers with back pain. The Posture Mattress has been classified as ‘Firm’ from our panel of Sleep Experts.This mattress is turnable, and also has that traditional mattress profile that isn't too high.These features make this a great mattress for elderly people or those with poor mobility.
