Mattress Forum

joeb, have you been able to test out any of the Tempur-Pedics? Your best bet is to always try them out in stores and pay attention to your body as you do so. Try each one on your back, your stomach, and especially your side (as you are a side sleeper). Don't be afraid to tell the salesperson that you'd like to be left alone to try out the mattresses one at a time, and don't be afraid to take as much time as you want or need. It's not unusual for a person who is searching for a mattress to spend up to fifteen or twenty minutes on a mattress that they are seriously considering purchasing. The mattress that you/your muscles are the most relaxed on is the one that you should go with. Your body is your best friend and is the best judge when mattress shopping.

With that being said, the Luxe will always feel softer than the Allura. The Luxe is meant to give you the softest feel that Tempur offers, while the Allura is designed to feel like more of a medium softness.
