Has anyone tried the Ortho tempered memory foam mattress?  I was at Ortho mattress today and the store is selling 9" foams for $999 and 12" for $1499, compare to Tempur pedic's rhapsody 12" at $2699.  I tried looking for the review but there just isn't much info I can find on the web.  I just can't tell the difference by lying on it for 5 mins with the saleperson breathing down my neck.  Quite frustrated buying a mattress...
please help!

thanks!!

That is the correct link for the mattress I saw.  It has no specs, no info at all. 

I am 6' and I weight about 180lbs.  My partner likes the HD on the rhapsody a lot but is it worth the extra 700 bucks on top of the regular 9" or 10" TP has to offer?

We have had three tempurpedic's in the past months. The first, classic we had collapsed after 6 years. They then replaced it in september, and the smell was intollerable even though we aired it on the lanai for a week. Within a month it had serious depressions, my husband is big, but even on my side(180 lb). They then replaced it when the depressions got to be 3/4 inch and were very good about it. Since we thought it might be our Hawaiian humidity, we aired this replacement for a month under dehumidifcation and airing( the smell was overpowering) and it collased after three weeks. They finally gave us our money bach and we are trying latex. So any way you want to go, the thing is going to stink for weeks and with the latx I now feel I can breathe again.
