    Anyone have Tempurpedic and if so how do you like it or what do you recommend? Our mattress is shot at this point and we are looking for a new one. Man was shocked at the prices of them when we started looking around.

    We have a mattress that conforms to your body, not sure of the name but I'll check.

    I really like the one we have.

    We bought a traditional pillow-top, spring mattress. Do not make the same mistake we did. 4 years in and I prefer the couch, floor, truck, anything but that damm mattress.:mad:

    All mattresses are to much money IMO.

    We are definitely looking for a firm foam type mattress that conforms.

    Oh, trust me I know what you are talking about. Ours is ten years old and was $500 new. It is so broke down right now that I would prefer to sleep on the floor and my wife feels the same way. Awhile back she went with me on a business trip and after sleeping in a hotel we both woke up and said wow we aren't stiff and sore when we got up this is pretty sweet.

    Check overstock.com if buying temporpedic. Mom and dad got a king $600. They're pretty good, but if you want really firm I've found the cheaper beds are actually better. My next one will be a sleep number, but the temporpedic would be on the short list.

    I have a latex foam mattress and love it. I feel like a different person after the old coil spring mattress.

    Right where I want to be.
    When we moved here, we decided to leave some stuff at the old house....the bed was one of those.
    Got up here, and spent about $1000 on a new bed set o_O. I think it's a Sealy, but not sure anymore...pillowtop. I like it, but it's getting a little worn.

    I think we spent $1500 on a king latex mattress from rooms to go. Best deal we could find. The sealy and Simmons as more. There all pricy. Ours was firmer and conformed better but over time has broken down and you feel more movement from the other person. If warrenty was not such a racket I'd call it in.

    If I were to do it again I would go cheaper pillowtop spring bed. There all junk after laying on them for 6 months testing!

    We have a local high-end furniture store here that advertises 2-sided, flipable mattress sets. That used to be the key to getting more from a mattress. If any of y'all want to duplicate me, you can take dimensions from our current mattress.:mad:

    Even our mattress has small divots.

    We rotate it but not flip it bone but the cheapest do that now a days. I like a hard mattress but she do sent. That means I could be happy on the $500 king ones that are in the cheap rooms bit she can't :(

    We slept on a Tempurpedic at a relatives house and it was the best night's sleep I have ever had.

    The foams are hotter if ur a person who gets hot at night. I her it and did not believe it but they really are. Mine is a latex with memory foam or something on top.

    I didn't like the memory foam. I toss and turn before getting to sleep and the memory foam doesn't bounce back quick enough...made the bed feel lumpy. Something to consider.

    I see they advertise them starting at 600 dollars for a Queen size... I have an air bed now , probably 15 plus years old, Natural form...They are used in hospital as well...come with 25 year warranties.... Only thing I would own again is an airbed... Seems like how ever good a regular mattress is,, it takes on a memory after a while and you now have an uncomfortable bed again..
