lol I was reading sex is better on a regular mattress. I just googled sex on temper vs regular mattress.. and the regular mattress wins everytime.

my back hurt also from sleeping on the tempurpedic. I never had an issue before that, so it was returned and I went back to a regular one.

I have a tempur-pedic ( got a good deal at sleepy's) , had it about 3 yrs now. my wife and I love it.. But at first we thought we made a big expensive mistake ( we didn't ) it does take about 3 wks to get use to it and during that time we felt like such suckers falling for the tv gimick... :iamwithst

We hate The tempur-pedic "comfort pillows" though they suck after about 1 yr since they are plush after a while they turn into a mis-shapen ball. don't waste your money.. (Sleepy's threw in 3 pillows with the deal)

oh yeah don't buy it during freezing weather our bed was stored in the delivery in the truck over night and when we got it it was frozen solid ,took 2 days to defost before we could use it.. No Kidding!!

During the winter it does absord your body heat and in the summer it stays cool...
HTH

Just found this thread, and thought I would add my two cents. I have been researching/shopping around for a mattress for about a year now. The choice has been between the Tempurpeadic and the Select Comfort (The "number" bed). One of the intersting stats I saw, was the return rate on them during the 30 day in home trial. Don't know how reliable the state where, but over 50% of tempurpeadic's are returned and only 30% of Select Comfort (these number's could also be skewed based upon how easy it is to invoke the warranty).

One of the major complaints I found with the Tempurpedic's was the inability of the mattress to diffuse body heat. I have seen a lot of reviews where people complain that the bed gets to hot.

I only know one person that has used both beds, and he choose the Select Comfort over the Tempurpedic. Has used his for about 8 years, and is still very happy with it.

while I have yet to buy one, (it is one of those things I keep pushing off), when I finally break down and buy one I will probably go with the 5000 series Select Comfort, but I am completely open to suggestions, or thoughts otherwise.

Chuck, which size and type of Tempurpedic did you get? If you don't mind listing the price that would be great. It seems that they are price controlled and won't budge on the price. I got them to go for Free pillows, shipping, and protective cover...that's about it.

Rich the bob o pedic is cheaper at www.mybobs.com. Also try http://www.overnightmattress.com/index.html. In the end I could not justify the price (at this time) and the simmons beauty rest seems really nice. I bought the one where they put the glass of wine on one side of the bed and jump on the other and the glass stays standing. I dunno, I do know I am not waking up in pain anymore so that's a plus.

Thanks Chief! I stand long hours on a moving boat all the time. I can justify the cost in my case At least that's what I keep telling myself I'm going to check out the bobopedics.

I got the 10 inch queen size ( ok I know there's a joke there... :scratch with box spring /frame and 3 pillows for around $1800 ..delivered.. I brought it out in a sleepy's out in Shirley suffolk LI .. that was about 3yrs ago.

It's probably true about the return rate on them. It does take at least 3 weeks to get use to it. Like I said in my previous post, my wife and I felt we got ripped off and didn't like it at all. but we love it now.. as far as heat goes I don't have a problem with it. it's comfortable in the winter and cool in the summer.

we have a "bobs" store near my house.. They sell real junk IMO..but it's always crowded??? I can't see their furniture lasting more then a year in a "normal" household. it's so poorly made and flimsy...

I have a memory foam mattress. My sister got it for me for my birthday this past summer. And I love it! Very comfortable. My back used to hurt when I had a regular one, but since I got his memory foam one the pain's gone away. I'm not a fan of soft mattresses one sinks into and I find this one is just perfect. It's not like you sink into it. It just kind of contours around you a bit. And returns to its normal shape as soon as you shift. So I'd definitely recommend it. :sleeping:

As far as sex goes...well, they're not bouncy. So I can see why a regular mattress might be preferable. On the plus side, it might force you to use your imagination and improvise. :inlove:

I have to make a decision in the next few days I thought I was sold on the memory foam until I tried this bed "Sealy Pinnacle Tea Rose garden" Kind of a ghey name but so comfortable. Made with Latex or something....
