Brakes Feel Spongey after overhaul

I just got:
-Zimmerman front rotors (left rear ones standard)
-Textar pads all around
-New brake lines front and rear
-Brake bleed

However, the brake pedal travel is quite long. The first inch or 2 of travel does nothing, and then they grip. They grip fine but towards the bottom of the travel.

The mechanic said this will become normal after a few days of driving.
Is this true? Does it take a while for new brakes to work well?
