Hi, I hope that you are recovering well from your surgery. I understand about getting the right mattress the 1st time. After my back surgery I had to get another mattress and bought the memory foam 1st. After awhile it just killed all of my pressure points so off shopping we went again. This time we purchased a sleep number bed. I absolutely love it! If my pain is worse due to weather I can change the number and when I feel better, I change it back. And my husband is always a different number than I am. I hope this helps you. We also live in Columbus, Oh and we bought our bed at Easton or you can get it at Polaris. I hope that this helps.
Take care, Colleen.
