Will my memory foam mattress get softer?
Memory foam will eventually soften without you having to do anything, aside from sleeping on it. And you won’t have to wait for very long as memory foam only needs a few days to a couple of weeks to break in. In most cases, a mattress will soften up in under a week, though it can take longer.
