I did not like them. The spongy feeling was not ideal imo.


I instead got one with a large pillow top, but was still about as pricy as the range you are talking, but love that damn bed!


Go to a mattress store and lay on them and try them out. At one I went to the lady even said they would allow you to take a short 30ish minute nap to make your decision since a $4500 bed is a very large investment.


*Whatever you get, make sure to compliment it with some nice 1200-1500 thread count sheets. YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY. Check prices for them on ebay, overstock, and amazon. You can get them there for very cheap.

I'm the opposite. I can't see sleeping on a normal mattress since getting mine. It is losing shape though so I am thinking of replacing it. Considering how long I have had it and how well I have slept on it I consider it worth it.

i wouldn't give up my tempurpedic for anything, my back is much better thanks to it and i sleep much better. the heat can be an issue if you live someplace warm (i'm in florida) but i found that simply doubling up the bottom sheet is enough to solve that problem. i wouldn't trust any other memory foam, i've seen way too many other brands of so called memory foam that hold up for maybe a year or two (or less) and then lose all their resistance and support. my bed on the other hand is still working just great and its been about 7 years i'd guess.

I'll have to check on that, will repost tonight when I find that out.





See, here's the thing about the whole "durability" issue between knockoffs and Tempurpedic.

The bed we bought was $500. A comparable Tempurpedic was damn near $5k. Even if my current bed lasts only 3 or 4 years, I highly doubt that a Tempurpedic is going to last 30 or 40 years. More likely is that if there is any durability differences, they are on the order of 10 or 20%, not 1000% like the price is.

They have a new type that is cheaper and isn't supposed to trap the heat.. I think they're latex foam or something...

tempurpedic is guaranteed for 20 years i think. i think i paid 1800 for mine and its a nice queen size. if your paying 3 or 4k for one your either shopping at the wrong stores or going for ridiculously overdone models...sort of like buying a Lamborghini rather than something more reasonable.

What an unbelievable waste of time.

Do you regret writing that now?
