Has anyone tested the new Tempurpedic Cloud series yet? It looks like a slightly softer version of the Deluxe series, which is the one we were originally favoring. The reasons we're leaning towards a memory foam mattress are: 1. Our last two pillow top mattresses have been busts, as I have a bad back and constantly wake up in pain. 2. Because I wake up in pain, I am constantly tossing and turning, which in turn wakes my wife up. 3. 90 day trial period is a great way to hedge your investment |

I am in the market for a new bed and as have seen all the TP commercials. My husband weighs around 280, disabled, has had a leg amputated and has alot of back pain, I weigh around 300 and have pressure point pain, hips, shoulder when I try to sleep, I bought a sealy about 2 years ago and we are both are miserable, I can never get a good night sleep, I was reading about the Cloud TP but not sure now, can anyone suggest which TP would be the best with our weights, we are on a limited budget so the most expensive isn't an option??
Thanks, Ginger |

Hello Ginger, I hate to be the one to say this. But realistically the vast majority of the bad reviews on this mattress are coming from those that are a little bit heavier set. I really doubt the 4.0lb foam's ability to be supportive for you, probably the only TP models that would be are the most expensive ones. I think if you want to keep cost within reason you may want to strongly consider an all latex mattress as they can support a lot more weight and it seems like in the US the pricing is going to start in the same basic range. You may want to check out Flobeds, or Savvyrest. Other good options for the price look like Sam's Club or Costco (when available) |

I agree with Budgy, the Tempurpedic Cloud is probably not for you as at your weight, you'll both need a firmer mattress that has some resiliance to give pressure point relief. I highly recommend trying an all latex mattress. I bought mine from Flobeds, and I do think it's important to get a latex mattress from a company that allows you to tailor the firmness level of the latex to suit body weight, sleeping position, medical concerns, etc., but if you are really constrained on price there are two latex beds from Costco and Sam's Club that might fit the bill: Costco: This is just the twin, they have other sizes Sam's Club: http://www.samsclub.com/shopping/navigate.do?dest=5&item=457139&pCatg=6805 and again, they have other sizes. If you do go tempurpedic, I am tall, heavy, and have back issues. I tried the Tempurpedics on the showroom floor for many months and basically came to the same conclusion Budgy states: for a heavy person only the very top models will work. Those are so much more expensive than a latex mattress, if budget is a concern, you might do better with latex. Personally, I like it better anyway. |

Thanks sooooo much all, that is what I really wanted to know. I had never heard of latex but I am going to check it out. Of course my husband saw that the "Biggest Loser" uses the TP beds, but I'm sure they are the most expensive TP has. Thanks again, Ginger |

I bought the Posture Deluxe Talalay Mattress: http://www.flobeds.com/latex/index.htm FYI, I weigh >250, side sleeper, and before I bought the latex mattress I had terrible hip and back pain, with numbness and tingling too. It was impossible to get a good night's sleep, I'd be tossing and turning and waking up in pain all night long, dragged out and exhausted during the day. Now, I sleep pain free all night and sleep better than I have in years. I do have the occasional twinge, but nothing remotely close to the pain I was in before. The bed is a dream to lie and sleep on. it's tough to get out of bed in the morning My configuration is currently F (32 ILD) over XF (36 ILD) over XF (36 ILD) and there is a 2" soft topper over the entire mattress. Originally I had XF/XF/XF, but after some months I decided that was just a little too firm, and so I switched a layer with my husband, so he now has the XF/XF/XF and I have F/XF/XF. This configuration provides plenty of support and just enough softness for pressure point relief. The benefit of Flobeds over the Costco or Sam's Club mattress is that the mattress has three layers of latex (plus the topper). Each latex layer can be custom ordered for the firmness you want, and if it isn't right, it's super easy to exchange layers for softer/firmer - whatever you need. And you have 90 days to do all your switching, or return the whole thing if it isn't for you (in this respect, Flobeds equals Temperpedic). With the Costco and Sam's Club, the price is lower but it only comes in one firmness configuration - you get what you get, though you can return it if it isn't right. I've decided to get the Sam's Club one for my daughter, though I haven't pulled the trigger yet. She isn't old and achy and doesn't need all the options I needed. Whatever you do get, I would recommend getting a nice organic cotton and wool cover for the mattress. The cotton will be soft, the wool will have anti-mite and bed bug properties, it will help keep you warm in winter and cool in summer.

I think you guys are reading my mind today  I was just going to ask about Talalay Latex Mattresses. Kim yours sounds like a dream to me, I have all the same symptom with my pressure points with the point on becoming numb also, turning and tossing all night long so I sleep mostly in my recliner as it is the only place I can get any relief, but that gets tiring also. I hadn't even heard of Latex before you guys mentioned it. Thanks so much. I should have known not to buy a Sealy again when I did 3 years ago because of my hips but it had memory foam on top of the springs (2") so I thought that would do it....NOT!! Wish I had that $1400 back. I saw Ashley Furniture here in Texas has Talalay Memory Foam beds, I haven't called to find out the prices yet, they have the Aruba, Curacao and St. Tropez. Looks like the St. Tropez has 12" of foam, not sure what that all means but I will look more into it. I may need to save up the money for a while longer and get the best grade I can. I kind of got confused about changing out foam to get a better feel but I'm sure someone could help me with this. Thanks all! Ginger |
