Adjustment & Acclimatization for your new topper
Buying a new topper is an important investment in your well-being and sleeping comfort. After deciding on the right topper, an equally important phase begins: the adjustment and familiarization phase.
In this article, we explain why this phase is so important, how long it can last, and give you helpful tips to make the transition as pleasant as possible.
1. Why is an acclimatization phase necessary at all?
Your body is a creature of habit: even if your old sleeping surface was no longer ideal, it has adapted to it over time. A new topper - even if it offers significantly better support and comfort - therefore represents a change that your body must first adjust to.
In the first few nights, the lying sensation may feel unfamiliar. Slight tension or restless sleep is not uncommon – this does not mean that the topper is not right for you, but that your body is reorienting itself.
2. How long does the adjustment phase last?
The duration varies from person to person. It usually takes two to four weeks for the body to fully adjust to the new lying sensation. In some cases, it may take a little longer – up to three months is possible.
3. 100-Night Trial Sleep
At AM Qualitätsmatratzen, we offer you the opportunity to test your new topper for 100 nights in the comfort of your own home.
This extensive trial sleep allows you to get used to the new topper at your leisure and ensure that it meets your needs.
If you find within this time that the topper is not right for you, you can easily return it.
4. Further tips for the adjustment phase
✓ Maintain sleep habits: Stick to your usual sleep rhythm and familiar routines. This gives the body stability during the transition.
✓ Regular ventilation: Make sure your topper is well ventilated regularly. This helps to create a pleasant sleeping environment.
✓ Adjust room temperature: Make sure the room temperature in your bedroom is comfortable to promote restful sleep.
✓ Check mattress and slatted frame: The interaction of mattress, slatted frame and topper is crucial for optimal lying comfort. An unsuitable mattress or an incorrect slatted frame can significantly impair the effect of your topper and lead to an uneven lying sensation.
✓ Adjust pillow: Sometimes the unfamiliar feeling is not due to the topper, but to the pillow. If necessary, test a different height or shape to support the optimal sleeping position.
