What to expect after 30 days, plus expert tips for deeper sleep and lasting comfort.
So, your new mattress has been part of your life for about a month—and you're probably wondering: is this “the one”?
The truth is, even the best relationships take a little time to click. Your new mattress might feel different than what you’re used to—and that’s perfectly normal. Like breaking in a new pair of shoes, there's a natural adjustment period.
The good news? Most sleepers begin falling in love with their new mattress between 30 and 90 nights in. And with a few expert tips and a little patience, you’ll be sleeping deeper and waking up more refreshed in no time.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through:
1. What to expect after 30 nights on a new mattress
2. Why the “break-in” period matters
3. Sleep tips to help you adjust faster
4. What to do if your mattress still feels uncomfortable
What to Expect at the 30-Day Mark
At the one-month mark, your mattress is still settling—and so is your body. The materials are softening and starting to contour to your shape, while your muscles and joints adjust to a new level of support.
If your bed still feels a bit firm or unfamiliar, don’t panic. Especially if your old mattress was sagging or worn out, this new level of alignment may take some getting used to. That’s not a flaw—it’s a sign of better support.
Most people reach peak comfort by 90 nights, but you can help love blossom faster with the right sleep habits.
5 Expert Tips for Better Sleep on a New Mattress
If you’re still feeling unsure or uncomfortable, these proven strategies can help your body and your bed work better together:
1. Stick to a Sleep Schedule
Going to bed and waking up at the same time each day supports your circadian rhythm and helps your body fall asleep faster—on any mattress.
2. Keep Your Room Cool
Your body sleeps best at around 65°F. A cool, dark, quiet room helps you fall into deeper, more restorative sleep.
3. Use the Whole Mattress
Try sleeping in different spots to help your mattress break in evenly. This helps it conform to your body more quickly.
4. Let the Mattress Breathe
Avoid using thick mattress pads that limit airflow. Breathable bedding and natural fibers allow your mattress to perform at its best.
5. Stretch Before Bed
Simple stretches can release tension in your back, hips, and shoulders, especially if your new mattress offers more support than you’re used to.
