My new foam mattress is like a rock - will it get softer soon like in the store or is something wrong with it?

Question

I bought a Therapedic memory foam mattress - it was great in the store - it molded to my body right away. When it was delivered to my house and I lay down on it, it was seriously as hard as a rock. I am unable to sleep on it at night. Is that normal when it's brand new or is something wrong with the mattress? Does anyone else own one of these and had this happen to them? I'm pretty upset since I spent close to $1000 on it.

Answer 1

I would call the store!! They may have delievered the wrong one, if its supposed to be like foam...

Or, you could have tried out a different model, and bought the wrong one, thinking it was the right one and it wasnt...

Talk to your store rep and see what the problem is.. (Do it before too many days have passed or they may not take it back!).

I wish you well..

Answer 2

Well, consider that the store model has had hundreds of people lie on it... and yours, well... it's only had you.

It needs time to 'break in'. Spend a lot of time on it when you get a chance (not necessarily just private stuff or sleeping... but stuff like reading, excercizing, watching TV, getting kids to jump on it, use it for a table while organizing your closet, etc). The more it's used, the more broken in it'll be.

Answer 3

PUT A MATTRESS PAD ON TOP OF THE MATTRESS...

Answer 4

It's like trying on shoes in a store - they may be OK for a couple of minutes, but they may hurt after you've bought them...

Answer 6

I would give it a couple days if you still feel uncomfortable send it back , your the one who has to sleep on it .
