If you aren’t experiencing any actual symptoms on your mattress then it sounds like you made a good firmness choice in terms of PPP (Posture and alignment, Pressure relief, and Personal preferences) and it’s likely that you just aren’t used to the “feel” or sensations of sleeping on latex. When you purchase a new mattress that is different from what you were used to sleeping on it will generally take a few weeks for the mattress to break in and for you to get used to sleeping on a mattress that is different from what you are used to. There is more about the break in and adjustment period for any new mattress in post #3 here.

I have been waking up with a stiff, sore back every day after the first night, which is what happens when I sleep on a bed that’s too soft. But I’m also moving into a new house, so I’m not ready to blame the bed for that yet. We’ll see how the next few weeks go.

You can see some of my comments about all the “simplified choice” mattresses in posts #1 and #2 here and you can see my comments about the so called “professional review sites” that are springing up at the same time as well. As a group they are certainly providing some very misleading and uninformed information to consumers IMO. I would be very cautious about the Leesa because they use 2" of 3 lb memory foam in their design which I would consider to be a weak link in their mattress in terms of the durability and useful life of the mattress. There are certainly other options (including Brooklyn Bedding) that use higher quality and more durable materials that don’t have any lower quality materials or weak links in their design which would be more likely to soften or break down prematurely over time.

I’ve read a lot of your posts, so I definitely know your feelings on BB. And they do seem like a great company. But durability isn’t a big factor for me; I don’t plan on keeping my bed for 10 years. Comfort, cost and mobility are my priorities.
That said, I did read your post on Leesa’s foam density while I was researching. I asked the Leesa people about it and they gave me a canned answer about how the foam outperformed most foams on the market in a compression durability test. When I asked for details about the test, the employee said she didn’t know. That conversation was why I went with Brooklyn Bedding – more because they know their product than because their product is more durable. That, and their lower cost.
But if the Leesa turns out to be more comfortable, even if it fails sooner, then it is the better bed for my needs.
