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 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
