Hello all, my wife and I were shopping for a new mattress because our old situation has been causing us pain while sleeping for nearly a year (we’ve been sleeping on an 8 year old spring mattress we augmented 3-4 years ago with a 4 inch memory foam topper from Amazon).
After much reading around, and looking through the articles on this site, we decided to go with Brooklyn Bedding’s BME, medium firmness. We live rurally, and do not have local places to go try out the sorts of mattresses you usually recommend. The BME fit our budget and seemed well-appreciated.
It has been two nights now, and we’ve slept both nights in more pain than we had previously. We acknowledge that the 4 in cheap memory foam topper was not likely to be a good sleeping surface and likely caused us a number of problems, however, this has been anything but the positive experience we’d hoped for. The second night was marginally better than the first. We used the pillows Brooklyn Bedding sent us along with the bed - hard to say if they helped or not.
Is this all part of the breaking in process? Should we stick it out? Tomorrow is a work day, and this weekend has been a painful one for us. We did not expect this after seeing the positive feelings most people had for the BME. What are your thoughts? Thanks in advance.
