Helping Special Requirements

People suffering with asthma, back problems or are elderly have special needs. Consider the following points.

• Height of the bed. Some people have difficulty with beds, which are too high or too low.
• If you suffer from pressure point pain from sitting or lying in the same position for too long, opt for a mattress with soft padding (pillow top range)
• Don’t select a mattress that is too soft. The underlying support should be firm enough to allow you to roll and sit up easily.
• Asthmatics and allergy sufferers may find a 100% cotton mattress protector helpful. Cleaning your mattress with a vacuum regularly will help prevent dust mite build up.
• Slatted bases are best as they improve ventilation flow and provide fewer places for allergens to accumulate.
