Should I be purchasing a TempurPedic mattress?
| Hi, I've really been looking into getting a TempurPedic mattress although after researching for reasons why TempurPedic sucks, I've recently become discouraged into buying one. I'll be a senior in highschool and after a year I won't be able to use the mattress for one school year since I will be in a dorm. After that, I can use it again, since I will be living in a condo my sophomore year of college. I also plan to pay for the Advantage TempurPedic Queen mattress, since if it will last 20 years, I will most likely be married and need the room for my wife. Do you think the TempurPedic will really last me 20 years? I'm just becoming confused on whether I could get a same quality memory foam mattress at a lower price that is just a generic brand. My dad keeps telling me all I'm paying for is the brand name of TempurPedic, and that seems to be what a lot of people believe too. Although none of the other memory foam mattresses look very promising. I just need some guidance. If I go the TempurPedic way, I'll be spending around $1800 although I get two free TempurPedic pillows and bed frame. |

| Yes, why settle for a mercedes when you can get a kia for less. My brother has had his classic tempurpedic for 12 years now and three kids later. The cover did wear out and he replaced it. Maybe thats part of the 'they don't last very long' part of it. I have had a top of the line latex mattress which was great for many years. I now have a top of the line tempurpedic. It doesnt sleep any warmer than my latex or past innerspring matts. If your a hot sleeper, most beds probably sleep hot any how. Kick the covers off for cryin out loud. My new tempurpedic gives a lot better support than any mattress I've ever owned. Unfortunately, I do like to change beds every few years. I won't be doing that any time soon. Good luck, and yes if you can't go tempurpedic save your money. |

And I won't be settling down for a while so you're right that I probably won't need a queen size mattress. I'll think some more about the purchase. You're welcome! I hope you enjoy your new mattress (whichever brand/model you decide to go with). I read somewhere recently that Tempurpedic foam is the densest memory foam on the market, so if you need serious memory foam that you can really sink into, I doubt you can do any better. |
