Does this orthopaedic mattress help with back support?

Why is gel added to this memory foam orthopaedic mattress?
Gel is included to improve comfort and help the foam feel less warm than standard memory foam. It is a comfort feature, not a guarantee of a cool night. Room temperature and bedding also affect how warm you feel.
Who might find a medium firm gel foam mattress too firm or too soft?
Lighter side sleepers who love a soft, sinking feel may find it a little firm, while those wanting a hard mattress may find it softer than expected. Back sleepers and combination sleepers often find the balance comfortable.
Will a gel memory foam mattress sleep warm?
Memory foam can hold more heat than open-coil designs, though gel is added to help the surface feel fresher. Keeping the bedroom ventilated and bedding light will help. If you sleep very hot, a hybrid with springs may feel airier.
What should I do when my foam orthopaedic mattress arrives?

How do I rotate and clean a gel foam mattress?
Rotate it head to foot every few months to spread wear. Spot clean marks with a damp cloth and let the mattress dry fully, as foam should not be soaked. Only flip it if the product details say it is two-sided.
Is this a good orthopaedic mattress for a double bed in the UK?
