Mattress topper for orthopaedic bed
I recently purchased an orthopaedic bed, which initially was firm but by now I'm already experiencing lower back tenderness. Thus, I wonder if purchasing a mattress topper would be a sound idea, so as to provide a bit of lower back support.
Hi there,
My initial query would be why did you purchase a firm mattress in the first place?
The advice provided by experts previously was that if you have back problems you ought to opt for a firm mattress.
However, organisations such as the Institute of Chiropractors has now issued advice which contradicts this.
In addition, I would advise that toppers are normally utilised to provide a softer more comfortable feel and not a firmer one, such as you seek.
You can always soften a mattress, but you cannot make one firmer.
Kind regards
