Is Duroflex mattress good?

Well, I will definitely choose Duroflex over Sleepwell if I am buying an orthopedic mattress because I don’t want an orthopedic mattress made of springs.

Springs are bouncy by nature.

We don’t want to bounce if we have a health issue right?

And Duroflex has certifications for their orthopedic mattresses too which is more reassuring for me.
