Mattress Advice for DMD & Osteoporosis!

2026-08-03 19:56:26
Hello Doctor, I have Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), severe osteoporosis, and scoliosis. I am bedridden and spend most of my time lying in bed. My current mattress is causing significant body pain and discomfort. Could you please recommend the most suitable mattress for my condition? I would like to know: • What type of mattress would be best? • What firmness level would you recommend? • Which types of mattresses should I avoid? Thank you, Doctor.

This question is best addressed to a rehabilitation consultant. As a Neurosurgeon, I do not deal with DMD and its issues.
