Need some help to get a decent mattress.
Am having surgery for back problems (cervical spine) and also have knee problems.
Am 5ft 10 and about 19 stone.
Need mattress to be able to cope with me 'log-rolling' out of bed.
Am using king size bed frame with slats.
Need to raise bed height - was thinking of using 'elephant feet bed raisers' from British Red Cross website.
Suspect this will put extra pressure on edges of mattress.
Am on benefits for now so do not have a lot of spare cash.
Would be grateful for your advice.

Hi Elizabeth,
Thank you for your question and I am so sorry to hear about your troubles.
Unfortunately, you do not have many options and of course a low budget reduces these even more.
I would suggest a high density foam core would be beneficial - topped off with a suitable comfort layer such as a topper. Of course there will be no edge support but this will have to be the compromise you make.
For starters do a general search for foam products such as http://www.foamshop.me.uk to see what they can provide.
Please let us know how you get on.
Kind regards
