I have been researching the past months for a memory foam mattress after sleeping for a week on the tempupedic rhapsody which i liked very much....i'd like 4" of 5+lb memory foam on top of 8" of strong support foam...i'm a big guy (5'11", 250#).... i have to admit i don't want to pay the $$ for a TP but will if i have to.....i have been through this forum several times and am more undecided than ever as to which way to go...i am considering everything from the TP to bobopedic to costco (novaform, sleep science) to the big S', to walmart, to the marriot bed, FBM, OVM, BAB, etc, etc......that said, i have come across Atlantic Beds and they seem to be the closest to the TP and was wondering if anyone here has had any experience with them or knows of someone who has experience with them....or if you can offer any other advice, (and confuse me even more...lol) i would greatly appreciate it...thanks!

here's Costco's return policy.....this is why i bought from them....i feel you can't go wrong with a purchase of their mattress because of their generous return policy...

If you like the TempurPedic, but don't want to pay the price, I suggest looking at Craig's list.  I did and was surprised by the number of people selling their TempurPedic beds at a fraction of the cost after a very short ownership.  I think some people buy them and then discover that the Tempur foam is not for them.

If I were going TempurPedic (which I'm not) this is how I'd buy it.

If you do the Craig's list thing just remember that used mattresses are considered Biohazardous material for a good reason.

That said, half of the current models of Tempurpedic have removable, washable covers. Couple that with the fact that Tempur Material is naturally dust mite resilient and your chances aren't horrible. Here's a list (in increasing amounts of actual Tempur Material) of the Tempurpedics with removable covers as well as their Tempurpedic mandated Queen Size retail costs:

Advantage:      $1700

Classic:          $2100

Deluxe:           $2700

Rhapsody:     $3300

If you have questions about a specific one feel free to ask.

the great thing is with Costco, if you are ever not satisfied you can return it (or arrange for it to be picked up) no questions asked.....

i don't know of any other retailer (mattress or otherwise) who will do that....

its great peace of mind....

good luck!!
