Hi friends

I am just over 4 weeks post op and am still struggling where sleeping on the bed is concerned. The bed has a soft mattress. Is there anyone out there who can recommend a mattress topper that will make my current mattress a bit firmer please?

All the best

    I invested in a memory foam topper shortly before my op and so pleased I did. I chose a Visco 7 cm one, a ltitle expensive@ £230 but worth every penny. My mattress was fine but a little firm and the topper now acts as a cushion. With some 3 weeks in bed following bilateral surgery I am so pleased I bought it. Lying and sitting on one place can still be pretty uncomfortable but the memory foam helps the pressure points, especially my coaxsis! Still getting used to the smell though!
