So you’ve just bought your new Siesta Sleepworks mattress after carefully selecting and testing out beds in our showroom. The first few nights on a new mattress often feel strange or even unfamiliar. So we are here to help guide you on exactly what to expect from your new mattress, to provide some reassurance, and to bring back the excitement for your new mattress.

Give It Some Time

Your new mattress will probably feel a little firmer than it did in the showroom. This is normal. It often takes up to 4 weeks for our bodies to adjust to the improved support of a new mattress, as well as soften the padding a little. The comfort and quality of your rest can affect your day-to-day life, so it’s not only important to make sure that you have found the right mattress, but that you’ve given it enough time to be properly broken in.

The Temperature

Some features, such as cooling material, will be less effective when used with non-breathable or synthetic sheets, comforters, or mattress covers. Direct sunlight, proximity to windows, and room temperature can also affect the material’s performance.

The Scent

You may notice a scent from the new materials and foams, so we recommend taking the time to air out your mattress. The smell will dissipate within days. People are really sensitive to this initial chemical smell, so again, it is worthwhile finding out the exact contents of the mattress before you buy it. If in doubt, natural fiber-filled mattresses are less likely to fill your house with that ‘new’ smell. Ventilation is the key to helping your new bed off-gas quickly.

The Foundation

Every mattress needs proper support. King and queen mattress sets also need frames with middle support.

The Height

Your new mattress set may be taller or higher than your previous set. A low-profile box spring is recommended for mattresses over 14.

Thickness

Some of today’s mattresses are built much thicker than in years past, so your new mattress set may be higher off the ground than your previous set, and your existing sheets may not fit as well. To solve these challenges, you may need deep-pocket sheets that are designed for thicker mattresses.
