Changeover & acclimatization for your new mattress
The purchase of a new mattress is an important investment in your well-being and sleeping comfort. Once you have decided on the right mattress, 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 mattress - even if it offers significantly better support and comfort - therefore represents a change, to which your body must first adjust.
The first few nights may feel unfamiliar. Slight tension or restless sleep are not unusual - this does not mean that the mattress does not suit you, but that your body is readjusting.
2. How long does the adjustment phase last?
The duration varies from person to person. As a rule, it lasts two to four weeksuntil the body is completely accustomed to the new lying position. In some cases, it may take a little longer - up to three months is possible.
