The sleep of an elderly person is not the same as that of a younger person: indeed, from the age of 65, a senior often has more difficulty falling asleep, and he wakes up more frequently night.
This is why the choice of mattress is of paramount importance to optimize the smooth running of the nights.

The memory foam mattress
Also called viscoelastic foam mattress, the memory foam mattress is perfectly suited to seniors' sleep: it offers very good relief from pressure points and adapts perfectly to the morphology of each person.
It is best suited for sleepers of a standard weight, but being slightly overweight is not a problem.
In addition, it is a very breathable mattress: it helps to regulate body temperature during the night.
The hybrid mattress
For an overweight senior, maintenance is an even more important issue.
Opting for a hybrid mattress turns out to be an excellent idea.
This type of mattress generally combines several layers of foam with at least one layer of pocket springs.
It is an excellent compromise to benefit from good support, optimal sleeping independence and good ventilation.
The price of such a mattress may be high, but the investment is worth it.
