I have a 10 year old Tempurpedic kingsize bed. It's so firm and I constantly toss and turn. I bought an extra thick polyester mattress topper from Macy's and it's helped but is still uncomfortable. I have to take ibuprophen each night as my body gets sore using this bed. When I lay on my back and sides, it's so firm and my body starts to ache thus causing me to toss and turn more than normal. The best night sleep I've had was on a Serta Suite Dreams bed which Hilton uses but I don't want to buy one if I can avoid it. Can you coach me on how to improve my tempurpedic to be much softer? Should I purchase more memory foam and/or latex foam? Thanks for helping me move towards better sleeping! |
| Hi.. to the fellow who asked what mattress I finally ended up with, sorry have been on and off here several times but didn't see your post.. Exhausted to the point of NO RETURN.. and I mean I have returned more beds in my lifetime than I care to think about..!!! More money down the drain and still to no avail a bed worth the money they ask you to shell out for. I actually gave up for 1 year and suffered night after night until I just couldn't take sleeping in all the beds in my house much like an amusment park during the night..end result my sofa..I set out to find the perfect bed once again and store after store had pretty much the same thing and the salespeople all began sounding the same with why I should be in this bed instead of that bed.. Well I live in a pretty good sized city with many mattress stores to choose from and I was sure I went in all of them until one day a friend and I drove by a store that I didn't recognize the name and we went in.. Finally a salesman who was just a decent guy who didn't hard sell a thing and didn't have all the usual suspects in his store.. I actually one time laid on one of these mattresses several years ago and wanted to buy it but got stirred away from it from the salesman that it was a mediocore brand and should be looking at the latex, it would be perfect for me.. so yes bought that latex.. and one and half years later.. the top of the line latex was defective with a bow across the entire middle.. It was Hell since then in the quest for a mattress that didn't kill my neck or back or legs.. did the memory foam after that and omg.. give me strength what it did to my hips.. so I decided right then and there I was going back to the old faithfull coils.. Long story I know, but needed to give you some backround to my desperation for sleep. Well this store had a beautiful line of Restonic's in it.. beautifully made and every type of feel you could ask for. They also had some other brands but these Restonics out shinned them all.. I ended up buying a firm one with a beautiful top to it, not plush, not a pillow top either, but just enough good solid padding to give body comfort. Restonic also has this middle support that I really like as it gives wonderful support for my back issues.. I can finally sleep in this bed.. is it the bed of my dreams.. NO.. is it better than the ones I paid mucho bucks for HELL YES>> I happen to get this bed on sale king size for 1100 including tax and a beautiful set of king size sheets...a bargain to say the least. So far it's the best I can get for right now.. I will continue to look every now and again, but believe me I will NEVER EVER spend the amts. I did before on a mattress again. Highway robbery is what evey individual experiences shopping for mattresses today.. Good luck to you and hope you follow up with what you end up doing as well.. I would be interested to hear about your find.. |

Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't posted for days. Been busy. I don't want to buy a new traditional mattress. So I ordered 3inch Talalay latex topper. Haven't received it yet to test drive it. I bought a twin air mattress. Been sleeping on that. What a difference. I actually can sleep on my back now. Once I get the latex, I'll try it on my tempurpedic. If that doesn't work well, I may sell my tempurpedic and buy an air mattress bed. I love being able to control the firmness. Does anyone know how to build a DIY air bed without having to spend 1000+ bucks? |

I dont know if this has been said before, but...
From what i understand, Termperpidic memory foam has an issue that some manufactorers have fixed. When temperpidic foam gets cold, it gets stiff. The colder it is, the stiffer it gets. Legend has it that when subjected to cold midwest outside temps it can become rock hard. This is an issue because some people think memory foam gets too hot sometimes because it does not breath well. So first thing people do is turn down the temperature in their houses AC unit. Then the issue i previously mentioned happens.
That all being said, if you want it to be less firm, try letting it get warmed up a bit before going to bed. Maybe a room heater or something. This message was modified Oct 21, 2012 by cheesepuff
