New mattress too firm

The struggle is real! A new mattress that's too firm can be uncomfortable and even affect the quality of your sleep. Here are some potential reasons why your new mattress might be too firm:

  1. Incorrect firmness level: You might have chosen a mattress with a higher firmness level than you're used to. If you prefer a softer mattress, you might find the new one too firm.
  2. Mattress material: The type of material used in the mattress can affect its firmness. For example, a mattress made from high-density foam might be firmer than one made from lower-density foam.
  3. Thickness: A thicker mattress can be firmer than a thinner one, even if they have the same firmness level.

To make your new mattress more comfortable, try the following:

  1. Use a mattress topper: A mattress topper can add an extra layer of comfort and softness to your mattress. You can choose from a variety of materials, such as memory foam, latex, or wool.
  2. Try a different sleeping position: If you're used to sleeping on your side, you might find that a firmer mattress is more comfortable for back or stomach sleeping.
  3. Give it time: It's possible that your body will adjust to the new mattress over time. Try sleeping on it for a few weeks to see if your body adapts.
  4. Consider rotating or flipping: If your mattress has a specific rotation or flipping schedule, try following it to see if it makes a difference in the firmness.
  5. Return or exchange: If none of the above solutions work, you might need to consider returning or exchanging your mattress for a softer one.

Remember to always read reviews and product descriptions carefully before purchasing a new mattress to ensure it's the right fit for your needs.
