What to Expect from Your New Mattress?

New mattress

Your mattress may not be this comfy right away, but as it adjusts, it will.

When you purchase a new mattress from All American Mattress, you are buying one directly from some of the top manufacturers in the world. From Stearns and Foster to Serta, your new mattress is brand new and ready for your first night’s sleep. But your new mattress may not be exactly what you think it should be based on our test mattresses. These differences do not mean you ordered a different mattress. Our test mattresses have been tested by many different people and have been worn down a bit before you settled in. Let’s take a look at what you can expect your new mattress to be like when it is delivered to your door.

New Mattress Smell

Just like the “new car” smell, the “new mattress” smell takes some getting used to. When you unwrap the plastic from your new mattress, you may notice a slight smell. Most beds are sealed directly after production, which locks in the smell until it is opened at your house. The smell may take a few days to dissipate, which is normal.

Body Impressions

You are the first person to ever lie down on your mattress. As a result, your mattress’s padding may begin to form to your body, creating an impression. It is normal and does not mean your new mattress is defective. The impression will eventually go away with a proper rotation schedule.

Thicker Than Expected

Most new mattresses are actually thicker than the ones you have tried out in the store and even the old mattress you had in your home. Today’s mattresses are built thicker so your old sheets may not fit correctly and your bed may be a little higher off the ground than before. If your new bed is higher than anticipated, your headboard/footboard may have an adjustable setting. If you notice your sheets slipping, deep-pocket sheets can fix the problem.

Give It Some Time

Your new mattress may feel a little firmer than to one you tried out in the store. But have no fear, your body will adjust to the new firmness. However, it can take up to eight weeks for your body to adjust to the new level of support. Remember, your mattress was gradually breaking down and losing support over the years so be sure to give your new mattress the proper amount of time to break in.

With a little patience, your new mattress will be comfortable and smelling like home in no time! For more information on finding your new mattress, call All American Mattress today!
