Is is normal for a latex mattress to soften?
I bought a Sealy Embody Shelter latex mattress about 2 months ago. My husband has back problems and is only comfortable on a VERY firm mattress. We did a lot of research and tried tons of beds before deciding on the Sealy. It was so firm I had trouble sleeping on it the first few days, but it was great for my husband and I got used to it. We've noticed the last few weeks that the mattress is a good bit softer. Nothing like indentations, just a more plush feel (the difference is really apparent if I move to the middle where it still feels very firm). Is this the normal effect of breaking in a latex mattress? Or is there a possibility it will continue to soften? I tend to think that even though the mattress feels a little more plush, it still has good support, but my husband has said since it's softened he's back to waking up several times a night. Any thoughts would be appreciated--thanks! |

Sorry to hear that! It's my understanding that latex should not be softening like that. We are on a Sealy Embody Introspection- their firmest memory foam and after a few months, it has softened up greatly and is beginning to wake me up with a sore back too :( |
