The Backcare Firm is an extra firm adjustable bed mattress from Adjust-A-Bed, designed and handmade in Great Britain and built specifically for use with an adjustable base. It's constructed from a high-density memory foam layer with anti-allergenic materials throughout, finished with a soft-touch removable, washable cover - no springs, foam only. The result is an orthopaedic-grade, extra firm mattress that keeps the body well supported for front and back sleepers, with minimal sink and consistent support whether the base is flat or elevated.
A high-density memory foam adjustable bed mattress best suited to sleepers who want extra firm, orthopaedic-grade support, effective allergen resistance and consistent support through every base position.
Extra Firm Feel - 6/6: Our firmest option, offering maximum support and minimal sink. Perfect for front sleepers, heavier individuals, or anyone who prefers a very firm, supportive mattress.

Vs medium-tension adjustable mattresses: The Backcare Firm offers noticeably less sink and a much more level sleeping surface than a medium-tension option. If you sleep on your front or back, or have specific back or joint concerns that need firm, consistent support, this is likely the better choice. A medium-tension adjustable mattress suits side and combination sleepers better, as it offers more cushioning at the shoulders and hips.
Vs premium adjustable mattresses: This mattress shares the same memory foam and anti-allergenic construction principles found in higher-priced adjustable mattresses. The difference is typically in the depth of the comfort layers and the addition of extra materials such as natural fillings or pocket springs, rather than any compromise in the firm, supportive feel this mattress is designed to deliver.
Vs buying with a base: This mattress is also available together with a matching Adjust-A-Bed adjustable base - useful if you are buying your first adjustable bed and want guaranteed compatibility between base and mattress. If you already have a compatible adjustable base and simply want to upgrade the mattress, this mattress-only option lets you do that without replacing the whole bed. The paired bed and base listing can be found here.
The Backcare Firm is backed by Adjust-A-Bed's 5-year manufacturer's guarantee against defects in materials and workmanship. Given the density of the foam and the firm, orthopaedic-grade construction, this is a mattress built for consistent long-term support, and the guarantee reflects that.
The Backcare Firm delivers firm, orthopaedic-grade support with anti-allergenic materials throughout, designed and handmade in Great Britain and backed by a 5-year guarantee. If you're a front or back sleeper, have back or joint concerns, or simply want a very firm mattress that holds its shape through every adjustable position, this is one to consider.
