What Are the Benefits of Egg Crate Mattresses?

Egg crate mattresses are used in hospitals because they provide comfort for bedridden patients without aggravating injuries or causing bed sores. However, because of their comfort and healing uses, egg crate mattresses are used outside hospital settings as well.

  1. Pressure Points

    • An egg crate mattress provides even and all-around support. This can help "twitchy" sleepers fall asleep faster because the body can relax quickly.

    Joint Support

    • The design of egg crate mattresses supports the joints and bones by evenly distributing the body's weight at pressure points.

    Waterproof

    • Egg crate mattresses are constructed from waterproof materials. Spills are not absorbed by the mattress.

    Inexpensive and Adaptable

    • Most egg crate mattresses are inexpensive compared to other mattress pads. They can be cut to fit chairs and beds of various sizes. They're also lightweight and portable.

    Circulation

    • The bumps in the egg crate mattress assist with blood circulation. According to MattressGuide.com, this happens because the bumps massage the body when the body moves. The massaging action helps the blood circulate.
