i am currently looking for a new bed.  I have slept on a futon for most of my adult life and while that worked while I was in my 20's and 30's, in my 40's, I find myself craving a real bed.  I am interested in a Tempurpedic

I have called a few bed showroom and spoken to many different salespeople.  The Advantage is currently on sale at a reasonable price (for tempurpedic).  The salesperson i spoke with on the phone said that since I lay on my side, the cloud would be better for me.  I haven't slept on either.  My neighbor has a tempurpedic and her mattress seems pretty firm.  I haven't slept on it, though.  I just laid down for a few minutes. 

The Cloud is more expensive, though, and unfortunately, I need to watch my pennies.  Rather than trust salespeople I would rather hear from people with experience.

I'm curious to get feedback from people who have slept on one or another.

I don't have a bad back but I have a recurring neck problem.  I'm about 160 and 5"8'.

Feedback appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

There are some reviews of various Tempur beds in the review section on this site going back a few years that might be somewhat helpful. Just put "tempur" in the search bar.

I've tried the regular Cloud quite a bit in a store.  It only has 2.8" total of memory foam - 1.2" of ES and 1.6" mem foam underneath that.  All on top of 5.2" base foam.  It's only 8" thick total.  I don't sink into the regular cloud very much, but it feels soft, conforming and is easy on my hips and shoulders.  The Cloud series memory foam bounces back fairly quickly.   I think the Advantage is much more like the original foam and has much slower response.

I don't think people who read this forum come here to read manufacturer's advertising.  They are looking for personal experience, advice and help.

Do you have some experience to share about these products?
