&ldquo;Good things come to those who wait.&rdquo; 
A quality mattress, featuring lumbar support for your spine and components that are fresh from the factory, will take some time to get used to, most commonly between 30-90 days (if not sooner), so don&rsquo;t be alarmed if the mattress that gets delivered to your home feels different compared to the one you tried in a showroom! 
Just like buying a new pair of shoes, when you purchase a new mattress, you&rsquo;ll need to go through the process of breaking it in. Consistently sleeping on your mattress every night will break in the materials and allow your body to adjust.

Sleep on your new mattress every night! 
Within the first few nights of sleeping on your new mattress, you may experience some soreness, but don&rsquo;t feel discouraged! You are most likely experiencing this because your body had become used to your old mattress and your new one is providing you with better actual support that you are not accustomed to yet. No matter how uncomfortable it may feel, please resist the urge to sleep somewhere else or go back to your old mattress for the first 30 to 90 days. 
While you sleep, your body weight will put pressure on the mattress, breaking it in, so please give it time. If you want to speed up the process, try rolling back and forth on your mattress or crawling on top of it for several minutes to help loosen up the materials faster. Memory foam mattresses are made from high-density materials so they tend to require a longer break-in period due to all the different layers of foam. Innerspring mattresses are typically broken in relatively quickly, especially compared to all-foam mattresses or hybrid mattresses containing &ldquo;specialty&rdquo; foams. 
<hr style="width: 50px;" width="50" />

Hot or Cold? 
Sometimes we hear from new mattress owners that their mattress is firmer than what they remember the showroom sample to have been. While not being broken in yet (discussed above) is a common contributing factor, another important element is room temperature, especially for specialty foams like memory foam (A.K.A. visco) or all-foam mattresses. The foams in these mattresses are VERY sensitive to temperature. You might not think a couple degrees is a big deal, but small thermostat settings can have a big impact on the perceived firmness of certain foams. If you want your foams to feel softer, you may need to bump up your thermostat a bit. If you&rsquo;re used to keeping the thermostat down because you sleep hot and you are considering an all foam or specialty foam mattress, be sure to look for one that is breathable and facilitates air flow through the mattress. 
Another quick note on sleeping hot. It is a frequent&nbsp;occurrence that an owner of a new mattress may feel like they sleep hotter on the new mattress than they did the old, and in fact that may actually be the case! Did you know that increased circulation throughout your body may cause your extremeties to not have a decreased body temperature? When an old mattress starts to lack support, that will often cause blood to pool at low points where the body touches the sleeping surface (think hips, shoulders, and joints). The blood pooling at these &ldquo;pressure points&rdquo; is not making its way out to the hands, fingers, toes, and feet. Then, when a new mattress with proper support is introduced and the circulation system returns to working like it should without pressure point pooling, guess what? The extrememities may feel warmer than they have. But don&rsquo;t worry, this increased blood flow is healing and restorative, so it&rsquo;s a good thing! It will require some getting used to though, which is another reason we say to give your new mattress 30 to 90 days of consistent use to get your body accustomed to it. Still on the fence about your new mattress? Our goal is to ensure you are getting the BEST sleep possible, so we want you to feel satisfied with your purchase!

Will It Take Time To Get Used to My New Mattress?

<img alt="" src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/members-furniture/ffis12-simplysleep/sleeping_position_banner_blog.jpg" />

"Yes"&mdash;your sleeping position absolutely matters when it comes to choosing a mattress! Whether it be a <a href="https://www.simplysleepbetter.com/catalog/plush" target="_blank">softer plush</a>, a <a href="https://www.simplysleepbetter.com/catalog/firm" target="_blank">firmer feel</a>, or <a href="https://www.simplysleepbetter.com/catalog/medium" target="_self">something in-between</a>, one of the most important things to consider when choosing a mattress is what support level you need based on your preferred sleeping position.&nbsp;

In order to find a mattress that will alleviate pressure points in the areas you need it most while maintaining correct spinal alignment, let&rsquo;s take a look at how you sleep. Find your sleep position below to see what support level you should look for!

Side
<img alt="side sleeper" height="257" src="https://i.ibb.co/k3xLCf5/Side-Sleeper.png" title="side sleeper" width="661" />

Side sleepers typically prefer a softer feel on the top of their mattress. Most side sleeper pressure points will be on your shoulders and hips, so a mattress with a plush to medium comfort level will allow your mattress to contour to these areas accordingly to alleviate pressure points and ensure proper spinal alignment.

Stomach
<img alt="stomach sleeper" height="252" src="https://i.ibb.co/1GPJwwm/Stomach-Sleeper.png" title="stomach sleeper" width="647" />
As a stomach sleeper, your hips need to be elevated to ensure proper spinal alignment. This can be achieved with a mattress with a firmer support level so that your hips don&rsquo;t sink, avoiding a dipped &ldquo;U-shape&rdquo; sleep position that directly leads to back pain. Since the majority of your pressure is on your back, a mattress with a firmer support will hold your body up in proper alignment!

<hr style="width: 150px;" width="150" />

Back
<img alt="back sleeper" height="247" src="https://i.ibb.co/RcgdtQD/Back-Sleeper.png" title="back sleeper" width="635" />
If you sleep on your back, a medium support level is recommended for you! Most of the support you&rsquo;ll need is in your lower back, so a medium firmness will allow enough support to keep it aligned while still allowing some light to moderate comfort layer contouring - just enough to keep you from sinking in. Not too soft and not too firm&hellip; but something in-between.

<hr style="width: 150px;" width="150" />

Combination
<img alt="combination sleeper" height="239" src="https://i.ibb.co/8N43KYp/Combo-Sleeper.gif" title="combination sleeper" width="614" />
Maybe you rotate between all of the above, or you&rsquo;ve invented you own unique sleeping position (pretzel anyone?)! If so, do you have one that you favor the most? If you don&rsquo;t have a primary position, a medium firmness is a good place to start. Keep an eye out for mattresses that feature quick responsiveness&mdash;this makes switching positions easier so you&rsquo;re not waking up during this process at night.&nbsp; If you have a sleeping partner, also look for motion isolation so they can rest easy when you&rsquo;re doing your position gymnastics ????
