New mattress and back pain.

I replaced my 20 year old firm mattress with a beautyrest black series 2 medium and I have back pain every morning.

it’s only been 6 days should I give it longer or start looking for another?

a little back story, my old mattress started giving me back pain and dead arms from pressure point pain. I added a pillow topper when the pressure point pain started and it helped but gave me back pain. So I removed the topper and started shopping. I am mainly a side sleeper, 5”7 160 pounds and everything I read said a medium would be best. In the store I loved the way it felt. I actually still do love the way it feels. It’s just come morning that isn’t great.

I can exchange it but have to stay with a mattress the store has. I tried the level 3 firm Pillow top. It was fine but not cozy.

Anyone else a side sleeper but need a firmer mattress than what is considered “recommended“?
