Tempur-pedic Beds??? Worth it??

1. To me they are too hot...seem to trap/keep the heat.

Some like it that way.

6. Same here, could not wait to get rid of it. I put on a faux sheepskin topper to

put some distance between the hot bed and me.. Thankfully it's gone..YMMV

2. Unless it's mostly latex, it's very bad for the environment.

3. Love mine :)

I also have the adjustable platform. Very happy with it, would definitely buy again but I won't need to, this will last forever.

4. I tried that one, the Casper, and the Nectar

I thought the nectar was the best for me.

They're all a bit different, but SO much better than a regular mattress.

5. I hate memory foam mattresses. You sink into

them and when you try to roll over you roll back into the dent you were just in.

7. Very good for pressure relief but the older ones are HOT

8. Made my low back issues worse

9. We like ours

As I've (ahem) aged, I find that the mattress keeps me warmer and I like the way my body sinks into it. I can see how that wouldn't work for others. But if I have the occasional bad night of sleep, it's usually because my brain won't shut down not because I can't get comfortable.

10. Lower back issues for years ...

until I got a Tempur-pedic. I love mine.

11. My Mom bought one

a few months before she passed away. It smelled ghastly from off-gassing, and she had to leave it out on her balcony for a month to air out the odor sufficiently to bring it in the house. She did think it was comfortable, though.

We have an all organic latex bed. It wasn't cheap (though we did get it via internet for several grand less than the local store wanted), and it does get hot, but it doesn't hold dents from where you were lying on it. It is assembled in layers, and the layers can be customized for desired soft/firmness. As far as I can see, you never have to actually replace the bed itself - you just get replacement layers as needed. So far we have had ours for almost 7 years and though we have flipped the layers around on a regular basis, we haven't had to replace any yet. Most comfortable bed I have ever slept on. Before we got it, I looked forward to business travel at properties known for their excellent beds. Now, there hasn't been a hotel bed I've preferred to my own latex bed. FWIW, YMMV.
