Good Beds for the Elderly
The Silentnight Spirit was the mattress that came out on top when I spoke to Stevie McGuire from Archers’ Auldhouse branch.
“You get a lot of older folk that want the same mattress they’ve had in the past. They’ll lie down on a memory foam mattress and think ‘no, no, this feels too different’ so really a lot depends on what the customer has had previously.
For back pain the Sealy Backcare Elite is a popular choice, which is a very firm mattress that gives a lot of support.
Memory foam is quite firm though, so when you get older and less mobile it’s not as easy to toss and turn on.
This is why Silentnight Spirit is a good bed for the elderly because it has the same effect as memory foam but it’s not as sinking.
The mattress has seven zones of Miracoil springs to provide targeted support, and an extra cushioning layer. It’s softer at the top and foot of the bed and firm at your hips. So you don’t fall way into the bed and leave your shoulders hunched in your sleep.
It’s no turn as well which saves a lot of hassle.”
So the word from Stevie is that Silentnight Spirit seems a good compromise for a lot of elderly people. Go into an Archers Sleepcentre store to have a lie down and find out what suits you.
