It's funny that I just bought this mattress. Galaxy Classic 6x4.5x8.

It was delivered on Tuesday (25/03/2025). Strange that I have to research after buying this.

I will call them this morning to see if I can change it. (Hopefully the accept it, I have removed the nylon covering).

There is no getting use to with these orthopedic mattresses.

I've had one that I bought over 8 years now and currently typing from it.
Thought you will enjoy the alignment of your skeletal frame but the body aches on your soft body tissue doesn't "get use to"

Using a topper like some have suggested may be an option to reducing the pressure on subcutaneous blood flow.

It's better you go for your weight grade mattress than jumping on the full orthopedic.

Weight grading for mattresses typically refers to how well a mattress supports different body weights. This is crucial for ensuring comfort and proper spinal alignment during sleep.

Weight Categories

Mattresses are often categorized based on the weight they can support effectively:

Importance of Firmness

Lightweight sleepers may feel more comfortable on softer mattresses that contour to their body shape.

Average weight sleepers often prefer a medium firmness that provides both support and comfort.

Heavyweight sleepers require firmer mattresses to ensure proper spinal alignment and prevent excessive sinking.

Firmness categories:

Extra soft (1–2)

A mattress in this category feels remarkably cushy. You easily sink into it and the material contours closely to your body.

Soft (3–4)

A mattress in this category feels supple but not spongy. You still sink into it, though not as deeply, and the material accommodates your body without hugging it.

Medium (5–6)

A mattress in this category feels fairly neutral. You will not sink into it much (if at all), but the material will somewhat conform to your body.

Firm (7–

A mattress in this category feels solid but not overly hard. You may notice a slight “give” when you lie down, though the material provides minimal contouring.

Extra firm (9–10)

A mattress in this category feels remarkably rigid. You will remain on it rather than sink into it, and the material will not contour to your body at all.

Conclusion

Choosing the right mattress based on weight grading is essential for achieving a good night's sleep. It helps in selecting a mattress that not only feels comfortable but also provides the necessary support for your body type.

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.

alezzy13:

My first night on this bed wasn't okay at all, I had to drag my other bed to the living room to sleep.
This is my third year and I love it.

lebete3000:
Thank you for this enlightening information.

Please can you kindly grade them according to their particular weight categories?

Get a soft pillow and place under your ribs when you sleep.
With time, your body will adjust.
I bought a semi-orthopedic mattress when orthopedic was after my life.
But now, I have adjusted.
A soft mattress now seems like punishment.

abidemidare:
Why didn't u go for tokunbo own. I bought mine two years ago, it has springs inside and I'm enjoying it, not hard...

ibawon:
Orthopaedic mattress are only to be bought at the recommendation of your Doctor. My late Dad's still gathering dust, nobody Gree use am.

RIDOO:
Last year when body and back pains was showing me shege banza like Tpain govt. I was adviced to change to an orthopaedic foam due to my weight.
The first one week...I kept tossing on the bed throughout the night..but I later got used to it.
Mine has a soft durable covering on it making it easier for me to adapt.


Meanwhile I have tried one orthopaedic foam before which I couldn't cope with even after weeks and I have to abandon it.

There are some like the one I'm using now that the surface is not plain...its design is well padded with foam on the surface giving a sort of relief after sometime.

The Op can change it to a more durable one.

highoctane:
Better keep the mattress, one day you shall need it.

That's a good investment.

I am using Mouka semi orthopaedic mattress.
