I have had my new mattress for 9 days and have been waking up after about 5 hours of sleep with shoulder and upper back pain. When I called the salesman he said it was common and to give it a couple of weeks. Luckily I think, the mattress I purchased - Verlo; a local company - allows for one free comfort adjustment in the first 6 months of ownership. You can comfort adjust all you want, but only the first one is free. The bed feels fine to me when I get in - not too soft, not too firm; I'm not too picky about that. It's just later that I wake up in pain. If I were to change the comfort layer, what should I do to relieve this pain - make it softer or firmer? Thanks for any help you can give.

Anyway - a bit about me. I'm heavy - 5'8" and 230lbs. I sleep on my back and my sides. The mattress I own is a flipable one: Here's the link http://www.verlo.com/product/1/K/2 I don't know if that will help any. Here's the text:
