Hi t-violet,
[quote]I think it’s too firm. My shoulders don’t sink in much at all so they wind up squished forward. My arms get numb during the night and I toss and turn and wake feeling as tho’ I hadn’t slept at all. (it doesn’t sleep hot tho’, that feels great) Yesterday I was so exhausted, I took a four hour nap on my sofa and slept great. But I’ve only slept on the mattress for three nights and some stuff I’ve read suggests it may take up to 30 days to get used to a mattress. Brooklyn Bedding won’t even exchange the top layer until after two weeks.
I guess I’m asking if there’s a possibility that I just need to get used to the mattress? I’m dreading the thought of spending any more time on it.[/quote]
There are some suggestions and guidelines in post #2 here that should be helpful. The break in and adjustment period for a new mattress can vary depending on the mattress and on the person and on how different a mattress is from what they are used to sleeping on but I would normally use about 30 days as a guideline. There are some manufacturers that require a longer minimum period before they will allow any changes (often 30 days) because they know that things can change substantially in the first few weeks of sleeping on a new mattress. Like Brooklyn Bedding though … the minimum I would normally suggest is about 2 weeks before you make any changes in your mattress but some of the other suggestions in the post I linked may be helpful as well.
