Mattress Poll: UPDATE 2/20/2011

I just wanted to let you know that on Fri. afternoon my new mattress was delivered. I wanted to let it breathe for a while so I didn't sleep on it until last night. Well so far I'm very pleased with it. After years of waking up with back pain, I can now say that this is now a thing of the past. No more back pain, no hip pain during the night, no shoulder pain, no leg pain either. Unlike memory foam that your body sinks into, the Tempurpedic bed lets your body sink in a little bit but also supports your body. I know I'm going to enjoy this bed for many years to come.

I also found out that Mancini's is having a tax free Presidents Day weekend sale on all mattresses including the Tempurpedic. I called "Relax The Back" and told them about this and now I'll also be getting my mattress tax free too. My old senior cat Storm is really enjoying my new mattress too. I bet it'll help him with any aches and pains his old bones may have too. I would recommend Tempurpedic mattresses to any one who wakes up with back pain or any other aches and pains or who just has a restless night of tossing and turning. If I could afford it, I'd buy one of these for my parents too.

Kokopup, I am in awe!

Finn's Mom, what is a "medical grade bed." How would I look at one, even jut online?

Krazy about Katz, Fantastic!

KAK, Still "very pleased"?

KAK, Still "very pleased"?

Yes, I am. I was also able to get two free Tempurpedic pillows and I chose the ones that help your neck. Now my neck feels so much better too. My old Target body pillows were causing my legs to hurt because I sleep with them between my legs. I found out that Tempurpedic also makes body pillows. I ordered one and I picked it up last night. Boy, what a difference. Yes, it was pricey and it does weigh more but it supports my legs so my leg underneath the body pillow doesn't get squished and then start to hurt. I would still recommend Tempurpedic beds to any one with aches and pains.

On Tracey's recommendation, I also went out and got a Tempur-pedic mattress. While at first I wasn't too impressed with it, I did love the pillow immediately. I have slept on it four nights and discovered that I am not getting up as much during the night. I still wake up to turn over, but I fall back to sleep so much faster.
Bruce has liked it from the beginning (but he does not like the pillow for sleeping, only for watching TV). So that's a bonus (since it was kinda his birthday present, heehee).
I am also planning on getting the body pillow Tracey is talking about.

Thank you so much for recommending this!

Just curious Tracey and Taz Zoee - how are the new mattresses working out? Both my husband and I have the same symptoms Tracey was talking about and we have a new mattress bought five months ago. We're wondering if the new mattress (very firm) is causing the problem. It's outside the guarantee returnable date so we're reluctant to replace it unless we're sure a Tempur-Pedic would be an improvement.

Well, to be honest, my back and neck have been hurting me for the past few days. I don't know if it has to do with the mattress. But I never really experienced the "waking up pain free" that several other people have with the Tempur-pedic. I do think I sleep much better, getting up less throughout the night.

The only other problem I have with it, and we read this in the reviews, is it is soooo HOT!! And it's winter right now. I'm actually dreading the summertime. I wake up sweating even when we don't have the heater on in the house. My co-worker gave me a suggestion of putting a comforter under the sheets to help with a little air flow between our bodies and the mattress. So I'll probably try that out when it warms up outside.
