Hi clouddaze13,
[quote]We’ve had the mattress now for 30 days. When we first slept on it, it was a dream! Loved the plushness, sinking in to be cradled and felt plenty more support then our previous old mattress provided. We had the best sleep that we’ve had in years, falling asleep quickly and waking in the morning with no aches, back cracking or shoulder popping.
Fast forward to the last few weeks. We both have a nagging ache in our center backs that just won’t go away (could be the bed or possibly stress or something else). Now when I’m in bed I feel this ache in the center right of my back and it does not feel supported. Where in the beginning I would get in bed and just melt away, it seems I have lost some of that plushness. When sleeping on my side I feel like I’m just bottoming out after a while and when I wake up like I used to in the old spring mattress. I’ve also noticed that there is less “memory” to our mattress. When you push your hand into it now it’s mostly just like pushing a regular pillow top, no more hand imprint. When we first got this mattress it was like 6 inches of fantastic memory foam plushness on top.[/quote]
While I can’t know for certain of course because I can’t feel what you feel on your mattress … it sounds to me like the mattress was “on the edge” of being too soft for you in terms of PPP (Posture and alignment, Pressure relief, and Personal preferences) and that the initial break in period may have taken you over the edge of being too soft (see post #2 here). There are also some suggestions in post #4 here that may be helpful but if the reason for your “symptoms” is that your mattress is too soft for you and you can’t replace the layers in the mattress that are too soft with firmer layers and none of the suggestions help then there aren’t any reliable options available to firm up a mattress that is too soft other than returning or exchanging it for a mattress that is a more suitable “match” for you.
