Stupidly bought a cheap mattress from Amazon, ever since she complains that her legs hurt every morning.

We have tried a deep mattress topper and not helped.

We have just bought her a new bed and struggling to decide on a mattress that’ll support her growing bones and be comfortable, any recs?

Thank you!

What's your budget and what size is the new bed frame? I recently got this one for my youngest and it's more comfortable than my own 😅Aspire Pocket+ And Wool Mattress In A Box- Single | Robert Dyas

Are you sure it's the mattress? Is she otherwise well?

I did go to worst case scenario being crippled with health anxiety when it comes to my children but she’s well, no bruising, happy little thing, loves preschool, no weight loss. She eats like a bird but she always has done. @Bitsostuff

I got mine an Emma double mattress in a box at that age, so I could comfortably lie beside them for stories and cuddles and to snooze myself if needed. I’ve since bought 3 more Emma mattresses for the house 🤣

Omg we had exactly the same thing. Amazon one was really thin and you could feel the wires. We bought this one and it has been really good for our 5 year old. It’s quite firm but gives her much more support and you can’t feel anything in it. mattressnextday.co.uk/sealy-ortho-plus-bronze-mattress

if you wanted something softer we got this one recently for us and it was a bit softer and mega comfortable.
