Hi Gizpobow,
[quote]I just bought an Original Mattress Factory Serenity Latex mattress, and now I think I’ve made a mistake. My first sleep last night wasn’t awful, but it sure wasn’t great. It feels too firm…more firm than the store model. I feel some motion transfer, too.
Any suggestions for what I can do to help this? I’m a side sleeper and sometimes back. The area I usually get pressure in from side sleeping is the hip. [/quote]
The first thing I would do is give it a little time because all new mattresses can take a few weeks to break in and you will also need time to adjust to any new mattress that is different from what you are used to but there are some suggestions in post #2 here that may also be helpful.
The box spring will add to motion transfer (you could put your mattress on the floor to see how much difference it makes) but it will also add some additional “give” on your mattress and with a firmer non flexing support surface your mattress would most likely feel firmer as well.
