I had always wondered about Tempurpedic. That happened because I used to be interested in Sleep Research and a visit to a New York City hotel that had a great Bed. Unfortunately, I did not write down the name of the hotel or bed and it’s been too many years now for me to remember. However, I did remember that it had some sort of memory foam on it so I left with a good impression and purchased this mattress.
Well, here is what some people will find….I slept on it for 7 nights. First night great. Then, I began to notice a slight give in my hip area…(I’m 6′0, 195 lbs). I thought, this is the bed forming to my shape – great! I then a few days later I began to have “hip pain”. Hummm, first time I felt it I ignored it. Next night, ignored it though it was slightly worse. 7th night on the bed, 3rd night of hip pain – I had to get off the bed – I could not sleep or even get comfortable! I had never ever had had a problem before so was confused until my fiancĂ© also started complain about mysterious back pain. It doesn’t take much for me to react. After talking a little we switched back to our previous mattress and then next morning all pains were gone – happy city. Both of us felt great. So, motto is…this may work for some people and won’t for others. I gave the mattress away after 2 weeks. The person I gave it to gave it to her kids because she started mysterious back pain…she figured the kid was very, very light but is keeping an ear on things to make sure the kid doesn’t complain.
On the store purchase side of things … Bed was delivered quickly. It was wrapped well. Looked great! The mattress smelled a little but nothing too serious. Like a newly painted room. I’m giving the mattress 3 stars. It wasn’t good for me but it might be for you. Goodness knows the mattress has been getting good reviews here. Wish it worked for me but it didn’t. If you start to develop mysterious aches after purchasing it get off immediately and see if you feel better without it. Evidently, some humans need the kind of ‘give’ that a foam mattress provides and others of us don’t need it at all.
