From a text about mattresses. I sort of know what is meant by "Einliegephase", but have no idea how to express it in English that doesn't sound translated. TIA for your assistance.

Selected
break-in period
Allow 30 days to adjust.
Give your mattress a break-in period of at least thirty days. Remember that a new mattress and box spring are an investment in your health, well-being, and your future, and that the ultimate benefits will likely be well worth this adjustment period.

Q. What if I don't like the feel of my new mattress?
A. It is normal to be uncomfortable on a new mattress. It is like a new pair of shoes, you have to break it in. It will take at least 2 days to 2 weeks or more to get accustomed to a new sleeping surface. Your muscles have memory from whatever you were on prior and have to conform to the new surface. Some manufacturers have "comfort guarantees" that after a certain time frame you make re-select. But, be careful….the whole breaking in process will start all over and you may be worse off than the first one. It is always best to keep what you selected and you will eventually get used to it.
