Why Choose a Mattress for Arthritis?
A high-quality, arthritis-friendly mattress helps distribute body weight evenly, minimizing stress on hips, shoulders, knees, and backs. Our models feature Bio-Pur® memory foam for adaptive contouring, HIVE® zoned support for targeted relief, and Bio-Core® bases for lasting stability—all crucial for reducing the aches and stiffness associated with arthritis.
Arthritis affects nearly 54 million American adults, projected to rise to 63 million by 2025. While no mattress can cure arthritis, the right one can significantly reduce joint pain and improve sleep quality. Below, we highlight our recommended models, each engineered to cushion sensitive joints, support proper alignment, and promote more pain-free mornings.
Key Points:
- CDC Stats: 1 in 4 U.S. adults suffer from arthritis-related joint pain.
- Medium-Firm Benefit: Studies show that medium to medium-firm mattresses can improve rest and reduce pain for those with chronic joint issues.
- Customer Data: Over 85.4% of Amerisleep users report diminished back/shoulder pain and improved mobility after switching to our mattresses.
- Expert Insight: "Proper spinal alignment is crucial for arthritis patients. The right mattress can significantly reduce inflammation by preventing unnatural joint positioning during sleep." — Dr. Devon

Seasonal Considerations for Arthritis Sufferers
Many arthritis patients experience flare-ups with weather changes. Consider these seasonal adjustments:
- Winter: Layer a mattress topper or use gentle heat therapy
- Summer: Opt for cooling accessories to prevent heat from worsening inflammation
- Rainy Seasons: An adjustable base can help elevate sore joints
- Year-Round: Maintain a bedroom temperature of 65-68°F (18-20°C)

Transitioning to Your New Mattress
Arthritis patients may need an adjustment period when switching to a new mattress. Here's how to make the transition easier:
- Gradual Adaptation: Expect 2–3 weeks for your body to fully adjust to the new support system
- Maintain Medication: Continue your regular pain management during the transition period
- Gentle Stretching: Try light stretches before bed to ease joint stiffness
- Extra Pillows: Use supportive pillows strategically during the breaking-in period
- Patience Pays Off: The full benefits of proper support may take time to manifest as your body realigns
Expert Advice: Additional Tips for Arthritis Management
- Choose the Right Position: Side sleeping on a medium or softer mattress can soothe hip/shoulder pain; back sleeping on medium-firm helps alignment if you have lower-back arthritis.
- Use Pillows Strategically: A pillow between knees (side sleeping) or under knees (back sleeping) may ease pressure.
- Maintain a Consistent Sleep Routine: Go to bed/wake up at the same time. Minimize screen time before bed. Need more sleep? Learn if 6 hours is enough.
- Heat Therapy: A warm shower or gentle heat pad pre-bedtime can reduce joint stiffness and ease you into rest.
- Adjustable Base: Elevating legs/head can reduce strain on arthritic joints, especially beneficial during flare-ups.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which mattress is best for arthritis pain?
It depends on factors like sleep position, body weight, and the severity of your arthritis. The AS3 is a versatile pick, while side sleepers with severe hip/shoulder pain may prefer a softer AS4 or AS5.
Are memory foam mattresses good for arthritis?
Yes. They cradle pressure points and help distribute weight. Our Bio-Pur® foam is especially responsive, making position changes easier for sore joints.
How firm should a mattress be if I have arthritis?
Medium or medium-firm suits most. But if you're a side sleeper with shoulder/hip issues, you might opt for a softer mattress (AS4, AS5). Heavier sleepers or those with back concerns often choose the firmer AS2.
Can an adjustable bed help with arthritis?
Absolutely. Elevating legs or head can reduce pressure on inflamed joints. Our Adjustable Bed Package merges seamlessly with any Amerisleep mattress.
Will I feel immediate relief with a new mattress?
Some do, but it can take a few weeks for your body to adapt. Our 100-night trial gives ample time to ensure it's the right fit.
Do you have a showroom to test these mattresses?
Yes, we have a showroom located in Scottsdale, Arizona at the Optima Camelview. We encourage you to visit us and experience the comfort of our mattresses in person. Our knowledgeable sleep experts can answer any questions you have and help you find the perfect mattress for your needs.
