A new mattress often feels extra firm at first because the materials need a break-in period and your body must adjust — most soften slightly over several weeks of use.
Your mattress sleeps hot usually because of dense memory foam that traps body heat, plus non-breathable covers and bedding — hybrids with coils run cooler.
Your mattress likely hurts your back because it's too soft, too firm, or worn out — letting your spine sag or pressing on pressure points all night.
Hip pain on waking usually comes from a mattress that's too firm pressing on the hip, or too soft letting it sink — common for side sleepers on the wrong surface.
You wake up with back pain usually from a sagging or mismatched mattress, your sleep position, or muscle stiffness — pain that eases within an hour often points to the bed.
Morning stiffness comes from hours of stillness, sleep position, and a mattress that doesn't support your spine — stiffness that fades as you move often points to the bed.
Side sleepers usually do best on a softer mattress (about 4–6 out of 10) that cushions the shoulders and hips while keeping the spine aligned.
