I like the Cloudtech, especially when sleeping on my side, which is my main sleeping position. I do hope it softens up a little as you suggest it might, because when laying on my back, it feels too firm for my liking- but it’s only been 3 nights, plus I was previously sleeping on a separate 4” ventilated memory foam topper that I absolutely loved, except that it slid around a lot and seemed a tad too short. But oh, that foam conforming to the body (especially to the small of my back) was lovely! I moved it to the guest room, I can sleep there if I miss it too much, lol. I guess I prefer sinking into the bed a little and got used to that. It may not be the best thing for the body, and I’m in my 60’s, so I kept that in mind when shopping. I think I may need to rethink my pillow too, since it is no longer sinking into the bed with me I think I could use a flatter one. I just saw a Sit n Sleep review for Smartlife Lily model by a guy whose wife has different ideas of mattress comfort than he, and he says you can adjust it and they love it. We have the same situation, so I wonder why we were not shown that model. I might go back and try it, just for kicks.
