Background: My wife and I bought a Cal King Tempurpedic mattress 6 years ago. I took some getting used to but seemed like we were sleeping well the last few years. Lately we both wake up sore and I have back problems. It seems that the mattress is too FIRM. We both wake up with sore hips, back, ribs and shoulders. I am 6'4" and weigh 210 lbs. and she is 5'9" and weighs 135 lbs. (she might kill me for that). I'm a side sleeper and she is a side and back sleeper. It seems as if the way to build a good mattress is to use correct layering. Since we have a FIRM foundation, would a softer latex topper make us more comfortable? I hate to get rid of the tempur mattress because it is still in great condition and we have a lot of money invested in it (can you really invest money in a mattress? seems like a poor choice of words). If a topper would help, what thickness and ILD would we need to look at? Also, store recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for you time! |

I have no experience, but I did find a site that says they are authorized to customize Tempur-pedic mattress. http://www.artisansmattress.com/. I don't know if the site is still active (some of the links don't work), but here is their email: 411@ArtisansMattress.com Maybe they can help? Best to you, Natalie |
| Thanks for all the replies. I went ahead and ordered a Flobed today. My wife and I are very excited and ready for it to arrive. We can't take one more night of the back-breaking unsleep we are getting. I feel confident we made the right decision after talking with Dave Turner today on the phone. He seems like a stand-up guy with a reputable business. I know he'll do his best to make sure we have the perfect mattress. |
Congrats! I'm just taking a break from laying the Flobed layers.... so far so good (finger's crossed).  |
