I'm so in need of help.
|
Hello. I am in need of some guidance here. I'm a big guy at 6'5 and 265lbs. I just returned a tempurpedic Cloud Supreme (after 3+1/2 weeks hoping it would work I realized it was just not offering enough support) and exchanged it for a Stearns & Foster Kathryn 13.5" Luxury Firm inner spring bed. I suppose those are about the two opposite extremes on the feel of a bed. My first night on the S&F which was last night was spent tossing and turning in pain from it being too hard. I got out of bed feeling like I had been beaten with a baseball bat. My wife, god bless her, can sleep on anything and calls me princess and the pea in regards to a bed. I wish I had as easy of a time sleeping as her! At this point I'm at a loss regarding what I should do. The store I bought the beds from said they don't usually do a second exchange. Although I suspect if I made a big enough stink they would. Maybe a topper is the answer? I hoping someone else has gone through this and can offer some advice. Thanks! |
Re: I'm so in need of help.
| Well, the good news is that your mattress is too firm. This can be easy to rectify. The one thing I will warn of is that your mattress will change within just a few weeks. My luxury frim from Stearns and Fosters was perfect for the first few nights then got softer. It got to a softer level and then stayed there. The problem is that I want a firmer mattress like you have. Now, I have to cut this mattress open to make it right for me. Try to lie in your mattress for a few more nights and see if it will change. Still, if you find that you're getting into serious pain, then swap out to something more comfortable immediately. After the week or two process, you'll have an idea of where your mattress lies. Then, you can decide on getting some mattress toppers to round out your feel and you'll be sleeping on clouds, most likely. |
