Hi, can anyone suggest what I can use to make my sofa the correct height for sitting after hip replacement. Unfortunately my sofa cushions are fixed so cannot put anything underneath. I have tried cushions but I slip off them . any ideas?

Regards

    I'm sorry that nothing is provided in Spain. We're so lucky in the UK. I was given raised toilet seats, a perching chair, and they raised our sofa and bed with elephant feet. I did just look on Amazon, and you can buy sets of 4 elephant feet quite cheaply. Good luck!

    I used an old office chair which was useful, but the best of all was the 6 inch base I built for my recliner - see photos - also on my website.
