Hi , can anyone recommend the best type of mattress for a Fibromyalgia sufferer. I am finding it very painful to get comfortable at all on the topper I have recently purchased.

I had a lot of issues with my mattress before. Then I went to a bed shop where they ask you to lie down on a mattress connected to sensors and it assesses where you need support - and suggests which type of mattress will work best for you.

I ended up with a sprung mattress with a memory foam layer built in - it’s been a revolution in terms of my pain in bed. It was about £500 but it’s been worth every penny.

Not sure if this kind of service is available during Covid, but worth asking at some local bed shops xx

I second that LoneEra , I bought a SilentNight 2000pocketsprung with Memory Foam layer, single bed size for £400 in sale at John Lewis, it’s the best mattress I have ever slept on, so comfortable.

I have previously bought various other memory foam good quality mattress, they were ok, but they eventually got too soft with lying in the space that your body makes over time.

I also bought a sprung pillow which I use on its own and that is also great. I bought it out of B&M it was £20.

GP. 😊😊.

Hi, Greyt. I love my Purple mattress. At first it seemed stiff to me but by day 3, I realized I didn't hurt as much. I couldn't feel the painful pressure points when laying down. Like my shoulders, backside, hips. I didn't ache as much as I usually did most days. I have had the mattress since Fall 2017 and really like it. Some mattress shops carry the brand. Otherwise, Purple often does a free trial period to try it. Last I knew it was 100-days.

I've had a hypnia memory foam mattress for 10plus years now (got a new, slightly smaller one when I downsized 3 years ago). Great value at £230 for King size. Soooooo comfortable IMHO.

I’ve brought Tempur Cloud Elite 25. Expensive but so worth it.
