I lasted a month on $600 foam. I woke up several mornings with sore hips. Finally, I called the local rescue mission to donate it. When I explained that I felt bad passing it on to someone else, they said they are picking up a couple of these mattresses each week! It seems like it's a hard adjustment for many... zing.

What was your sleeping position and what firmness of the mattress?
I sleep on my side. There's no firmness option. The foam arrives in the typical "I'm a mattress box" and expands.

Worth noting that some claim it gets softer after a few weeks.

Ah. It’s quite possible it was too soft and yes foam does get softer over time. There are some firmness levels between some brands of foam mattresses where they use different combinations of different types of foams that give a firmer feel but most box foam junk comes in a medium-soft variety to appeal to the broad market.
Mind sharing what the company/bed was?
Mine was Tuft and Needle.
FWIW, I've been very satisfied with mine for three years now. It's a much firmer foam than memory foam, and gives me just the right amount of support for side sleeping.
I suspected so, I just got a queen mattress from them two days ago, I've really enjoyed it so far.
