i am currently looking for a new bed.  I have slept on a futon for most of my adult life and while that worked while I was in my 20's and 30's, in my 40's, I find myself craving a real bed.  I am interested in a Tempurpedic

I have called a few bed showroom and spoken to many different salespeople.  The Advantage is currently on sale at a reasonable price (for tempurpedic).  The salesperson i spoke with on the phone said that since I lay on my side, the cloud would be better for me.  I haven't slept on either.  My neighbor has a tempurpedic and her mattress seems pretty firm.  I haven't slept on it, though.  I just laid down for a few minutes. 

The Cloud is more expensive, though, and unfortunately, I need to watch my pennies.  Rather than trust salespeople I would rather hear from people with experience.

I'm curious to get feedback from people who have slept on one or another.

I don't have a bad back but I have a recurring neck problem.  I'm about 160 and 5"8'.

Feedback appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I know that it is not the same for everyone, there has to be to some happy Tempur-pedic owners. Is there somone on here that has had a good experience with this bed?

There are tons of happy Tempurpedic owners but you'll have to search elsewhere probably since it seems the majority of people here have latex beds. Tempurpedic is a really popular bed, heavy advertising, lots of buyers, so there are going to be a proportionate number of negatives but during my research I have seen plenty of happy owners.

I'm picking up a Cloud Luxe, I really like the feel of one. My experience is not from this new bed but I owned the original tempurpedic bed for many, many years, bought I think 10-12 years ago when I was in college from Brookstone. I only switched out because I got married. We're going back to a tempurpedic and I will post a review on here.

There are some reviews of various Tempur beds in the review section on this site going back a few years that might be somewhat helpful. Just put "tempur" in the search bar.

I've tried the regular Cloud quite a bit in a store.  It only has 2.8" total of memory foam - 1.2" of ES and 1.6" mem foam underneath that.  All on top of 5.2" base foam.  It's only 8" thick total.  I don't sink into the regular cloud very much, but it feels soft, conforming and is easy on my hips and shoulders.  The Cloud series memory foam bounces back fairly quickly.   I think the Advantage is much more like the original foam and has much slower response.

I don't think people who read this forum come here to read manufacturer's advertising.  They are looking for personal experience, advice and help.

Do you have some experience to share about these products?
