Getting to know your
new mattress
It can take a little while to get used to the level of comfort and support provided by your new
mattress. If you have been sleeping on a dierent type of mattress, the materials of your
new mattress may feel quite dierent from what you are used to using.
Your new mattress may also feel a little dierent to the one you tried in the store. The
mattresses on display in retail stores have been tried and tested by customers over several
months, resulting in the various components settling.
Similarly, if you are using your new mattress on a dierent base from the store, this can alter
the final level of comfort and support you experience at home.
It is important not to confuse “uncomfortable” with “unfamiliar” when getting to know your
new mattress. We recommend that you sleep on your new mattress for at least four weeks
to allow the comfort materials to respond to your unique shape, size and sleeping positions
and for your body to adjust to the benefits of your new mattress. If, after 6-10 weeks, you are
not 100% happy with your choice, please refer to our Better Sleep Promise on page 8.
Some A.H. Beard mattresses contain luxurious comfort materials that help minimise
pressure points by allowing the sleeper to sink slightly into the uppermost layers of the
mattress. As a result, more of the mattress is in contact with your body, which may cause
you to feel warmer.
A firmer mattress with fewer soft comfort layers will keep your body resting on top of the
mattress rather than being cradled by it, and it may feel cooler.
