Mattress Poll: UPDATE 2/20/2011

[krazyaboutkatz]

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.

I'm still waking up pain free. My sore shoulder will still sometimes hurt though. The pillows have really helped my stiff neck. I know that my previous mattress was just too firm for me. Good luck in finding a solution to your problems.

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.

Cindy, I'm sorry to hear that you're still having pain. I had also read that some people had complained about the Tempurpedic mattresses getting too hot. This is one reason why they recommend that you use their mattress protector so that it can allow the mattress to breathe. I was also told that the Cloud series runs much cooler than the others. I don't use heat at night and I just put extra blankets on top of my bed when it's colder at night. So far I've been fine. If you're already waking up in a sweat you may want to try something in the Cloud series before your 90 day trial is up. Good luck.
