I wish I knew how to get it to "soften" a bit. We tried a softer "topper" for a few weeks, but that wasn't the answer. We are stuck with a bed that cost $7,000.00+ and cannot sleep on it. Honestly, it is like sleeping on a rock. ***Does anyone know how to slightly soften this kind of bed? The model you try in a store is almost always browken in or conditioned, the new one you receive will be much firmer and will "soften up" to feel like the one in the store anywhere from 3-8 weeks... the softening up is based on conditioning the feel from new to comfortable. Some people like the change over time during the first couple of months while it bexcomes "personally" contoured to their sleep pattern and style, some says it feels softer where they sleep. Here is how to fix that (generally speaking) Walking (or crawling) head-to-toe and side-to-side across the top will condition the ENTIRE mattress and not just your sleep area. Otherwise, the sleep area is the only "soft" part of the bed... ANY bed. Many complain about the ridge down the center of a king mattress and this is the cause of that ridge: foam that has not been conditioned so it still feels like new. If this isn't making sense, try running your fingers on the inside of your shoes... can you feel the ridges caused by your toes? these are "body" impressions designed to custom fit your feet pattern; it is the main reason you cannot wear your best friends shoes with the same size-- they "feel" weird on the inside. they are not custom fit to you... put in a gel insole and it removes the custom design and yu probably can wear them... or buy new insoles. You just need to make the foot bed even again to feel comfortable. Hope this helps! Sleep well jaydee! |
