Mattress Break-In Period
A new mattress can feel different from the bed your body adapted to over months or years. The useful question is whether comfort is trending in the right direction during the allowed trial.
- Follow the exact manufacturer instructions for your mattress and support setup.
- Keep purchase records and current policy terms while the trial and warranty are active.
- Address setup problems early rather than assuming every discomfort means the mattress is defective.

Expect A Transition
A new surface changes pressure distribution and support. Initial unfamiliarity is not automatically a defect.
Change One Variable At A Time
Avoid changing the mattress, topper, pillow and foundation simultaneously if you are trying to understand what is causing discomfort.
Use The Trial Window
EGOHOME currently recommends at least 21 nights before initiating a mattress return. That adjustment period should not be confused with a guarantee that every mattress will become comfortable.
Watch The Trend
Note whether pressure, temperature and movement comfort improve, stay unchanged or worsen. Specific observations are more useful than a vague 'I hate it' when contacting support.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long should I try a new mattress?
Use the merchant's current adjustment and trial terms. EGOHOME currently publishes a 21-night adjustment period within its 100-night mattress trial.
Will every firm mattress soften dramatically?
No. Some surface materials relax with use, but construction and firmness still define the basic feel.
Should I add a topper immediately?
Usually it is easier to evaluate the mattress itself first unless the merchant or your circumstances call for a different approach.
Check the current mattress lineup and live merchant terms.
