Adjusting to a new mattress

Adjusting to a new mattress can take some time, and it's normal to feel a bit uncomfortable or even experience some discomfort as your body adjusts to the new surface. Here are some tips to help you adjust to your new mattress:

  1. Give it time: It can take up to 30 days for your body to fully adjust to a new mattress. Be patient and give your body time to adapt.
  2. Start with a gradual transition: If you're switching from an old mattress to a new one, consider sleeping on the new mattress for a few hours a night and then switching back to the old one for a few hours. This can help your body adjust to the new surface gradually.
  3. Adjust your sleeping position: You may need to adjust your sleeping position to find a comfortable spot on the new mattress. Experiment with different positions to find what works best for you.
  4. Use a mattress topper: If you're finding the new mattress too firm or too soft, consider using a mattress topper to add an extra layer of comfort.
  5. Try different sleeping positions: If you're used to sleeping on your side, try sleeping on your back or stomach to see if that's more comfortable for you.
  6. Get used to the new feel: The new mattress may have a different feel or texture than your old one. Take some time to get used to the new sensation.
  7. Consider a mattress protector: A mattress protector can help you get used to the new mattress by providing an extra layer of comfort and protection.
  8. Don't be afraid to return it: If you're really struggling to adjust to the new mattress, don't be afraid to return it and try a different one.
