Found the Perfect Mattress - Too much Money

[phoenix]

Hi ejcrossl,

So 2 weeks in, and my wife can’t sleep on the mattress anymore. She is complaining of hip pain and shoulder pain. She is sleeping in our guest room on a Ikea, thin, foam mattress.
She isn’t able to say if its too soft or too firm, but her initial impression of the mattress was its too firm.
Can’t get much softer, we have a soft 6" core, and a soft 3" comfort layer. I’d have to assume it’s not firm enough.

I don’t know for sure of course but if she is sleeping better on a thin Ikea foam mattress I would also guess that the mattress is too soft rather than too firm. If this is the case then some of the suggestions in post #2 here may be helpful.

The first thing that I would check and rule out as a possible cause of any issues she is having is the support system you have under the mattress and the effect of any mattress protector or mattress pad you are using on top of the mattress.
