The dealer wanted to make sale and confused you to purchase what you don't need nor know about.
Where is your location I can buy it if you are willing to resale.

Sell the thing. I’m used to orthopedic beds. If I sleep on any soft rubbish, na body aches go get me the next day. I’ve used mine for almost fourteen years, and — though it has softened over the years — it still serves its purpose.

Get a memory foam mattress

Pour water on it before you sleep every night

Why didn't you ask before buying orthopedic? Now you've spent good money on what you aren't enjoying. Orthopedic beds should be recommended by a doctor but Nigerians just buy things for the sake of it.

Don't mind Nigerians, oversabi people

Personally I detest such orthopedic mattresses.
I don't sleep well on them and sometimes end up with pains

You bought plank

Hello nairaland

I bought an orthopedic mattress yesterday and I slept on it last night and I've come to discover that it's too hard for me. It's not bouncy at all, and feels like I'm lying on a rock.

I'm 72kg, and in not suffering from any t conditions.. I only bought the mattress because it was recommended by the seller as a 'good and durable mattress'

What do I do next? It's just too hard for me to endure and I don't know if it's going to get any better (or get slightly soft so that I can enjoy the mattress

Thank you for reading.

It is not a mattress for weak men.

It is for strong men and strong women.

Comprehendo?

Good afternoon.... Actually from the pics of the mattress you posted.... Its vitafoam and I want to believe its the mattress in question here

Well if it is.... I actually work in vitafoam and am sorry you had to go through this. That being said, I fault the seller because he/she ought to have recommended a mattress base on your body weight for you not persuad you to buy an orthopaedic mattress. At vitafoam we advise for "buy right" Which simply means buying a suitable mattress base on body weight.

The best thing to do now is to get a Memory topper and place on the mattress

You can reach out to me for more. Thanks

YoursDola:
thank you for your input.. I know I'm already asking too much questions, I'm sorry..

I plan on gaining some weight which will leave me to a body weight of 76kg.

Which one will suit me best? Sorry I also don't know the difference between a normal fabric and a quilted fabric..

:: do you still have an idea on what the market price is for both mattress? Thank you.

=============
No you're not asking many questions. If you're gonna add more weight soon, then but Vita Haven or Supreme.
First image is normal fabric, while the second is quilted.

But if you're buying either Vita Haven or Vita Supreme, they both come as quilted.

As to the price, I do not know. Someone on this thread mentioned they currently work with Vitafoam. If you're in the South West part of Nigeria, I might only be able to direct you to a nearby store though.

You can return to the seller na!

Ask for semi orthopedic foam...

And there are other cushiony foams...

And besides they don't just recommend you buy orthopedic form...

They will always ask you your budget and howw you want the foam to feeel when u sleep on them...

That will help them advice you on the choice to make...

😂😂😂

Mine that is not orthopaedic seem hard to. Although I wake up with the heavier part of my body sunk in the mattress. My body end up aching. Just get a fluffy mattress cover.

kaptainrankin:
Hello Dola, sorry to hear what you're going through with the mattress you bought.

The one important thing most people don't know is that body weight is the most important factor to consider when choosing a mattress, and not everybody needs or will do well on orthopaedic mattress. It is simply TOO HARD for most people.

You currently weight 72kg and have no serious medical issues, you're the perfect candidate for a medium density mattress. Those ones are the perfect balance between firm and soft, and they are made to comfortably carry up to 80kg body weight per individual . Common examples of these are Mouka Foam Flora, Royal Foam Gallant and Unifoam Onyx Plus.

Two thing you can do with the current orthopaedic mattress you have;

- Sell it and buy something less firm like the ones I mentioned..
- Buy a memory foam mattress topper which is really soft and comfortable, then lay it on the orthopaedic mattress you have (NOTE: the best quality toppers you'd find are quite expensive, they cost above 100k as at December 2024 when I'm typing this)

If anyone here needs a good mattress to fit their body's needs, we have them in all sizes and qualities across all our stores in Lagos, Ibadan, Abeokuta, Ijebu Ode etc. You can Call/WhatsApp me on 09015015409

So Almighty Vita foam no get space. I have been longing for one mmm
