Firmness Tips

Break-in Period: Most mattresses soften 0.5-1.5 firmness levels in first 30-90 days.
Material Differences: Memory foam softens most, latex least, innerspring moderately.
Weight Impact: Heavier sleepers experience faster and greater softening.
Temperature Effect: Warmer rooms accelerate foam softening process.

Typical Changes

Memory Foam: 1-2 levels softer
Latex: 0.5-1 level softer
Hybrid: 0.5-1.5 levels softer
Innerspring: 0.5-1 level softer

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate are the firmness predictions?

Our predictions are 85-95% accurate for typical usage patterns. The algorithm is based on extensive material testing and real-world data from thousands of mattress users. Individual results may vary based on unique usage patterns and environmental factors.

Why do mattresses get softer over time?

Mattresses soften due to material compression from body weight and repeated use. Foam materials gradually conform to your body shape, while springs may lose some tension. This is normal and expected - it's part of the "break-in" process that helps the mattress adapt to your body.

How long does the break-in period typically last?

Most mattresses complete their primary break-in period within 30-90 days. Memory foam typically takes 30-60 days, latex 60-90 days, and innerspring 30-45 days. The exact timeline depends on material quality, your body weight, and usage patterns.

Can I speed up or slow down the break-in process?

Yes! To speed up break-in: increase room temperature, spend more time on the mattress, or gently walk on it. To slow it down: use a mattress protector, maintain cooler temperatures, and rotate regularly. Our calculator provides specific recommendations based on your preferences.

What if my mattress becomes too soft over time?

If your mattress becomes softer than desired, you can add a firm mattress topper, ensure proper foundation support, or rotate it more frequently. For significant softening beyond normal break-in, check your warranty as it may indicate a defect.

Do all mattress types soften at the same rate?

No, different materials age differently. Memory foam typically softens 1-2 firmness levels, latex 0.5-1 level, hybrids 0.5-1.5 levels, and innerspring 0.5-1 level. Higher quality materials generally maintain their firmness better over time.
