Does latex need a break in period?
|
I bought a Sleep Options a few weeks ago. I noticed it was firmer than the display model. It has a 3" 20 ILD dunlop layer on top. I tend to be a side and back sleeper and stay in one section on my half of the bed. I am noticing that in my hip region it's softening much more than other areas of the mattress that I don't sleep on. On the plus side, I don't see even the slightest of indentation forming, as I've seen in previous beds in the past. Is this natural and to be expected? |

I've ordered the 2" ILD 20 Talalay topper and in anticipation of the topper being too firm I ordered a 2.5" cuddlebed mattress pad; maybe you should look into one if indeed the FBM topper is too firm. This message was modified May 23, 2011 by need2sleep636

Maybe it's completely in my mind but after sleeping on a latex mattress from FBM for about 10 months I feel like it has softened up a bit. My gf went through 2 mattresses (an airbed and a plush spring mattress) but I now i love sleeping on mine the best. Like you, when I first got it I thought it was way too firm. So either my body & back got used to it or the latex needed some breaking in. I have a St Geneve wool mattress protector for breathability, but going back I probably also would have picked up the Costco cuddlebed topper as need2sleep mentioned for some plushness. |
