Problem with my new Tempur-Pedic

I bought the Tempur-pedic Classic. I'm a side sleeper. My arms have been getting numb. I'm used to lying on my stomach and propping myself up on my elbows to read before I fall asleep. I had no problem doing this on my old spring mattress. With the Tempur-pedic, my lower arms are numb within minutes. So I stopped reading in bed (can't lie on my back to read due to sinuses). But I'm also waking up with numb arms just from sleeping. I hug a body pillow while I sleep, and it's as if any time my lower arm is slightly inclined from my elbow, it goes numb. Again, never had this problem with other beds, just the Tempur-pedic. Then my lower arms are sore all day long. It's as if I can't get any circulation to that part of my arms unless I sleep with my arms perfectly flat on this bed. Anyone else have this problem? I'm thinking I need to trade the Classic in for a different model. Should I go firmer or softer for this problem?

Thanks, Gary. I'm thinking of giving the Cloud Supreme a try. It really did feel like the most comfortable one in the store.

Sore shoulders and numb arms for a side sleeper usually mean a too-firm mattress. Actually, I had a similar problem at first with my TP. But, it has been breaking in nicely. Also, if you use a supportive pillow, like a neck pillow that gives good support under your neck, you may find that your mattress-side shoulder won't be digging into the mattress as much.

I ordered the "side pillow" from TP a few days ago. Can't wait to try it!

You may find that it helps your shoulder situation. Personally, I didn't like the side pillow, as it locks me into a single place on the pillow to rest my head. I like to be able to sleep on any point on the pillow I wish. I absolutely love the TP neck pillow. I have it in King, and I can roll over from side to side, and my head and neck get the proper support no matter where I end up. On a side note, I have yet to find a neck pillow from any other company that feels as good as the TP. Tempurpedic's foam is definitely different from other memory foams. It has an almost gel-like quality compared to others which range from feeling like standard poly foams to feeling like a bag of cement mix.

What is the Exact name/model of TP neck pillow you are using? are you a side sleeper? Thanks

Thanks I'm not Gary, so I can't comment on what he's using, but I went to the tempur-pedic site and there is only one neck pillow. The name is NeckPillow, and it comes in 7 sizes. It's under the "therapy" section of the pillow section on their site. I think that's probably the pillow he's talking about.

I'm trying to sleep less on my stomach, and force more side-sleeping, which neck pillows do so well. Although, if I use the lower side, they can be OK for stomach sleeping, too. The one I have (my wife has, actually, but I borrow) is the TP King Medium Neckpillow. I tried a Sensus foam neck pillow from Absolute Comfort. And, I had a Novaform neck pillow from Costco. But, they aren't nearly as good as the TP.

I also am having problems wiith my Cloud Supreme & the warrarty people are giving me a hard time! It is a long story so when I charge my laptop I will let you all know. I am very pissed aboout this! $3,000 on a bed & it still isn't right. The Ashley';s store delivered it 7 2 monthee later it ws still so hard it killed my already messed up neck, back & hips. I got a man from Tempur-Pedic & he informed me after they brought another one they would make it rigfht as the comppany was horrible they jut took ooff & left me with this bed whichwas dirty (yeah you read that right, dirty). The foundation & original bbed I was brought was put outside oon my patio & grass so I asked them what person with common sense would do that thus the reason for leaviing me with the dirty mattress when they brough tit in i guess. Well another company they hired as I refused to have the same company come back to my house & they hovered over me stating "Well are you going to take it?" I couldn't even in my own house lay on it & feel comfortable to see iif I really liked iit! i didn't follow my gut and refusse it, and it has killed my back every night for 6 weeks. I wrote the warrranty company & the woman told me to take off cover or pad & sleep on it with out them to deal with it basically. I informed her in my e-mail I wrote her a couple hours ago if they didn't make it right I was wanting my money back & or I would go to the BBB. $3,000 is a lot of money to spend on a bed & they not do right by you!!! Oh! And they never did get back to me with a new foundation ever! Very disappointed as i was so looking foorward to having this bed.

I wouldn't even know where to start with your complaint. I see you have all of 1 singular post. .... Folks, we'll see if this person is credible or not. Remember, this is the internet. Anyone can claim anything.
