Watson4321-
We got our Tuft and Needle 10" in December. If you read back in my previous posts, you will see that I went to a sort of unsure first week, getting better the second and third week, then by the 5th week, I was absolutely in love with the mattress.
The mattress as you feel it now, will not feel the same in another 10 days. The top will continue to break in, that takes about 2 weeks at least. Your body is adjusting too- if you’ve been on innersprings the past several years, your body needs time to adjust.
If you want to help break in the mattress faster, walk over the top of the surface a couple of times a day- this will help “break in” the foam faster. I walked on the top of our mattress once or twice a day for the first week to help speed up the new foam break up into a slightly softer surface.
I was waking up several times a night the first week, I think even into the second week too. Now I sleep like a log through the night.
Give it a little more time, your experience on the mattress won’t be the same in 10 days, I can say that with certainty. If after another two weeks you still have the hip pain, then the mattress may not be for you, but if it’s pressure point pain, the foam is going to soften up just a little bit over the next week, and that may greatly improve the hip discomfort.
Your neck pain may very well have been a pillow issue. If you are using the same pillow now as on the memory foam mattress, the pillow might be just more suited to the Tuft and Needle. I had to switch to a new pillow on the Tuft and Needle because I was getting pain between the scapula and neck pain. It went away after a week after switching to a new pillow.
Be patient…
And PS- at least in my case, I had a lot of pressure point pain on the Casper, and have none on the Tuft and Needle. I know all of us are different, but don’t assume that the Casper is going to be “the one”- the grass is always greener.
I think what you are experiencing on the Tuft and Needle isn’t too much different than what I experienced. Give it time, it took 3 weeks to actually “like” the mattress, and it took me 5 weeks to “love” the mattress. If after a month it’s still causing pain though, then it’s not the best mattress for you…
