A force sensor and corresponding force monitoring mattress is provided. The force sensor (100) comprises: a first surface (102) and a second surface (104) located opposite the first surface (102), the first surface (102) is translatable against a resilient force in a direction towards and/or from the second surface (104); a distance sensor (110), arranged to measure the distance between the first surface (102) and the second surface (104). The force sensor comprises a flexible coupling (108) extending along the direction, flexibly coupling the first surface (102) to the second surface (104). The flexible coupling (108) is provided with a resilient means (106) to provide the resilient force.
