Why is my mattress sagging after 1 month? ›

Sagging is typically the result of normal wear-and-tear to your mattress. The foam materials used in mattresses tend to soften over time, as they are exposed to significant pressure every night from the sleeper's body. Over time, this gradual softening of foam leads to a feeling of sagging, and less even support.

At Emma we believe it takes time to truly appreciate your new mattress so we recommend sleeping on it for a few weeks to realize the difference. We offer the option to test Emma for 200 days risk-free.

Emma claims its Original mattress is suitable for people weighing anywhere between 50kg and 130kg and it's guaranteed for ten years. Originally the mattress was backed by a 100-night money-back guarantee, but Emma has since extended the trial period on its Original mattress to 200 days.

Warmth encourages memory foam expansion. Therefore, you can change your thermostat settings to at least 68 degrees Fahrenheit (or more) to help your mattress corners expand. Some of the online experts advise using steam on mattress corners when they don't expand fully.

We especially recommend the Emma Original to lightweight and average weight sleepers who enjoy the body-hugging feel of memory foam, especially if you sleep on your side.

Why is this important? It's because the mattress materials need time to soften and conform to the contours of your body. Although the materials in your new mattress are flexible and strong, they can be rigid especially when they are brand new. This can cause some discomfort during the first month or two.

The Emma Original is a pure memory foam mattress, while the Emma Premium is a hybrid mattress that combines foam layers with individually wrapped pocket springs. The Emma Premium is better suited for those who need extra support, while the Emma Original is a more affordable option.

The main cause of back pain in bed is poor posture, either from how a person sits at work or how they sleep at night. Between the vertebrae in the spine are intervertebral discs, which rehydrate at night (this is why we are taller in the morning, and part of the reason that the elderly lose height as they get older).

Keep in mind that it can possibly make your mattress feel firmer, though. You could also try checking your bed's box spring to see if it has any broken or weak spots. A bad box spring can't support a mattress properly, which can lead to sagging.

Can you damage a memory foam mattress by sleeping on it too soon? Sleeping on a memory foam mattress while it's decompressing might be uncomfortable. You won't damage your new mattress, however, by sleeping on it too soon.

Do you have to wait 48 hours to sleep on memory foam mattress? ›

It is recommended to wait 24-48 hours before sleeping on a new, memory foam mattress. It is up to the consumer whether to wait or not. Defects will not be as obvious before the expansion process has been completed, but expansion should not slow down because you slept on your new memory foam mattress.

It won't fully expand when it's cold out.

To hasten the growth process, make sure your space is at least 68 degrees Fahrenheit (20 Celsius) warm. Wait 72 hours - After removing the mattress from its packaging, you might want to leave it on the floor for a few days. This enables it to grow completely.
