Memory foam bed, friend or foe

Sometimes I love my memory foam bed. We'll, more than just sometimes, I love it most of the time. But if I've pulled a back muscle or whatever, turning can be tough since I'm basically sleeping in a soft canoe, lol.

So my question, is this going to be a problem after surgery for me?

Thanks for input.

I would not of been able to do it but everyone is different right after surgery. Maybe you won't have any issues at all and it will feel amazing for you.

Maybe a wedge might help? Just trying to get prepared.

Great idea and if you find that you do not need it you can always take it back!

Thanks!

I couldn't lift myself out of bed for the first few days, and laying flat was uncomfortable. I slept in the living room chair. It was much easier for me to get myself up.

That might have to be an option. Thanks!

I had a very soft memory foam bed at the time of my surgery. I just made sure I had some firm pillows laying along side of me to support myself as I pushed up out of the bed. It worked fine. Maybe I moved a little slower the first few days. I was very scared, but really was a non-issue for me. My current foam bed is firmer and lifts if I need, so that would have completely changed things. But I didn't have that until a year ago (about 4 months after the surgery). The firm pillows to lean on and push up on really made a difference, at least in my confidence to get out of bed.

Thanks! That sounds like a good idea, firm pillows.
