Takes a few days to reach blissful sleep

So after a couple of friends purchased ghostbeds and loved them, I wanted to try one out. My wife (7 months prego) has had horrible nights sleeping on our spring mattress. I actually had been sleeping on the couch in our basement because she tossed and turned so much. So, enter the ghostbed... the first night was ok, second a little better, third better than that. But once you hit night number 4, that's when your body finally let's go and just embraces the ghostbed. For real, this bed is awesome. The pillows are amazing, and we both sleep better. At least until the newborn comes....
Yeah, we have had it a few weeks. So far its hard as a rock. Doesn't seem like it contures my body like it supposed too and I'm a 6'4" 245lbs guy. So I'm not light. Doesn't compare to my previous pillow top mattress. Maybe it takes 101 days to break in. Lol. Jk. I'm going to give it a few more days or another week and probably return it cause I need sleep.
Even though I paid for the mattress I feel like I won. The price was incredible compared to other products. Truthfully while this was less expensive it was far better in most cases. I have slept on this now for over 3 months and it has made all the difference. My back pains have gone away. I sleep better and I am far more comfortable. I am a big guy 6'5" 380lbs and was concerned about sinking in not being comfortable. This was not at all the case there was far more edge support then my previous mattress and I am cool and comfortable while I sleep. If you are at all on the fence I would recommend doing it.
I'm getting a very comfortable sleep so far. We are just entering the hotter weather here in FL so I'm anxious to see if it sleeps cool. The only negative I've noticed and it's a small one, is the edge support. If you are used to sitting on the edge to tie shoes etc. you need to sit a little further in as the edge does compress a lot. The King size is quite heavy so if you need a minimum of two people to set the mattress up in the beginning.
We bought a Ghostbed queen sized mattress, intending to use it with our existing mattress support. That didn't work out -- no fault of the Ghostbed, it was a problem with the old support. So we ordered the Ghostbed support as well. Assembly was easy (you need a power screwdriver) and quick. We are very happy with the quality and feel of the new mattress. Thanks, Ghostbed!
Since getting the mattress, my wife and I don't remember falling asleep. We're sleeping lIke a rock, and can't feel my wife moving around. I feel refreshed in the morning, and ready to battle the day. Can't wait to crawl back in it tonight!
To be honest, I wasn't expecting much ordering this mattress. I needed a mattress quickly and didn't want to spend an exorbitant amount on a mattress from the store as I had previously and was seriously unimpressed. This thing is great, by far one of if not the most comfortable mattress I've ever slept on regularly.
