Yes … a break in and adjustment period is typical for any mattress (see post #2 here). You would also probably notice some small impressions with any natural fiber material and you would also likely also notice some unevenness across the surface if your foundation doesn’t have a flat and rigid surface because the latex will adapt to the contours of the surface.

Not trying to be contrary, but the more I looked at the bed with the comforter on, and seeing the larger body impression where I lay, the smaller where the wife lays … I decided to check the idea that the natural fibers had started to compress. With nothing on the bed but the mattress protector/pad there was definitely an impression, especially where I lay. I took off the protector and rotated it 180*. This should have caused the impression to switch sides. It did not.
Next I took off the protector and inspected the mattress cover. The impression was more pronounced on my side. Is it the cover? Well i unzipped the cover and looked across the surface of the Soft Latex 3" comfort layer. I could still see Impression - Ridge - Impression. With the deeper impression on my side.
I then pulled off the comfort layer, flipped my half of the core to firm side up / Medium side down. Wife’s side was still firm side down / Medium side up. I then rotated the comfort layer (not flipped) 180*. Surely this would cause the larger impression to now be situated on my side. But it did not. ??? :blink:
What is going on? I know the foundation is now very firm and level. It was re-designed 2 days ago with 1x4 slats spaced 2"s part. I am wondering if this “low spot” on my side is due to the Core? This is the only thing I have not switched. I have rotated and flipped the cores, but never switched them - Hers on his side and His or her side.
Will see how it sleeps tonight for me with the firm side of the core now facing up and the Medium layer being on the bottom. Still woke up with Center back spine pain. This have been going on for the past 6 nites.
