Is there a "break in" period for pillows?

If you’re used to a traditional pillow, your new Tempur-Pedic pillow may feel different at first, typically firmer than what you’re used to. As you sleep on the pillow, it will respond to your weight and temperature, conforming to your head and neck and feeling more “natural.” It can take a few weeks to get used to your new pillow and for the pillow to adapt to you. During this time, the TEMPUR® cells are fully opening so they can optimally adjust to your body.

I still don’t like the feel of my pillow, so what can I do?

If you’re not enjoying your purchase and want to expedite the break-in process, we recommend the following tips:

  • Gently roll and unroll your pillow
  • Carefully kneed the foam with your hands
  • Put it behind your back while you’re sitting on your couch or at your desk
