Hi BckyLTylr,
Thanks for the update … I appreciate it 
I would keep in mind that here will be a break in and adjustment period for any new mattress or sleeping system as the mattress loses any of it’s “false firmness” and the cover stretches and loosens a little and the materials settle and your body gets used to a sleeping surface that is different from what it is used to (see post #3 here). This would typically be a few weeks but it can be shorter or longer depending on the specifics of the person and the mattress (higher density materials can take longer) and it can be surprising to many people how much their sleeping experience can change over the course of the first month or so.
I’m not sure what type of soreness you are experiencing or where you are experiencing it but if you have the firmest option available and you are significantly lighter than your husband then it’s possible that it may be a little on the firm side for you. If this is the case then some of the suggestions in post #2 here may also be helpful.
I don’t know how you would define “spectacular” but if it’s the best you’ve ever experienced then I would say that it’s at least “very good”!
