Hi Grainne,

Thank you for your enquiry.

Mattress toppers are used primarily to provide an extra layer of comfort (softness) on a mattress which may be feeling too firm, they cannot usually be used to make a mattress firmer. You could look at a Company called Soak & Sleep as they sell toppers which are made to give a mattress a firmer support.

Without knowledge of your body weight(s) we are unable to confirm whether you have the correct spring tension. If you are unable to return or exchange your Vi-Spring mattress, it may well be worth placing MDF (8-10mm) boarding on top of the base, under the mattress and this will make the mattress feel slightly firmer. Alternatively, you could look at buying a platform topped base rather than the sprung base, which we assume you have at present.

We trust that this helps, but if you require any further advice or guidance, please call our office on 0161 437 4419, kind regards Julie
