can anyone who bought Tempurpedic Allura tell me how allura is compared to tempurpedic cloud supreme?
how will they hold up as time passes. what is the thickness of various foams in them. The salemen at all the stores I visited don't know what goes in their tempurpedics! and the thickness of different layers in the tempurpedics mattresses. (Incredibly frustrated with ignorant people selling mattresses in retail stores) The common reply was "SPACE AGE FOAM that NASA USES". I don't know what to do.
(Just to recap my body statistics are: 1. weight 205 pounds 2. Side sleeping person 3. height is 6 feet 2 inches 4. low back pain due to herniated disk in low back.) This message was modified Nov 15, 2011 by Joed

The Allura is as close as a Pillow Top as Tempurpedic has now and is a lot of HD (high density) material. The HD responds quicker, feels more dense will feel softer to a heavier person than to a lighter person. The Cloud Supreme is the ES (extra soft) foam that sits on the regular Tempur Support foam (which is a 5.34lb density foam that still feels firmer than the 5.34lb comfort material)... The answer to your question is this: While laying on either bed in your sleeping position, which one allows you to get that feeling of "melting muscles" while you relax quicker and more naturally. the durability question is moot. It is all the same proprietary material regardless of Tempur, Tempur ES or Tempur HD. I first fell in love with the Rhapsody (HD over Standard), Absolutely decided the Allura was my favorite when I finally was able to try it because it felt so much softer to me... then when the 3rd "Cloud" bed came out, I bought it--the Cloud Luxe. It was the softest ES foam over the HD foam fiving me the best of both of the luxury feels--WAIT, what I mean is, it felt the best to me out of all of them. Your back is the only true decision maker for great sleeso if the Allura feels better for you, go for it, if the Supreme feels better, keep it. Don't let a salesperson make you think more $$ means better bed!
Sleep Well "joed"! |

I had a tempurpedic mattress and the problem with them is that they sink overnight. When you wakeup you feel like you are trying to climb out of a hole. When its cool in your room the bed gets hard like a rock. So the firmness of the bed is constantly changing. For those reasons I wouldn't recomment this bed for a bad back.

How cool did you let your room get? 58F? That's too cool for sleeping anyway. Mine is 65F at night and TP is fine. Anyrate, sinking too much just means one bought a Tempurpedic that is too soft for them. And you will know it right away. I'm 2 months and 2 weeks on this Cloud and doing fine! Firmness is NOT constantly changing. Still the best mattress ever for me. This message was modified Nov 24, 2011 by slpngoc

My wife and I have had the Allura Bed since August of this year and we love it. It is a an amazing bed and we have never slept better in our lives. I had bad back pain for years on our old spring mattress, the pain would last all day and i just assumed i had a bad back. After getting this bed i have been pain free since day one. If we sleep on any other mattress we feel a very noticeable difference in quality of sleep. I'm 6'4 and 210 and i find the bed provides more then enough support. The Cal king is just long enough so that my feet do not dangle off. My best advice for you is to get one and try it out, we got ours at Mattress firm and they have a 100 night trial where you can return the bed if you do not like it, needless to say we love it and will not return it. But every store should have this option, this way you can try the bed for yourself and you will find out for sure whether it is for you. You can read every web site and debate it over and over, but all that means nothing as you really need to just try it out to really know what it’s like. A few tips, it's best to sleep in a room above 65 degrees like slpngoc said. Do not use any mattress protector and use high thread count sheets. We have found that putting layers between you and the mattress will decrease the effectiveness of the bed. That's about it, I hope you enjoy the bed as much as we have.

| I loved the initial feel of the cloud luxe but it gave me a sore lower back in the mornings. I decided to put a cheap egg crate foam topper on it and it really reduced my lower back pain because I think it actually made the bed firmer. Doing this seems to defeat the purpose of the bed though (and I started getting a stiff upper back) so I'm considering trading it in for the allura since it feels more firm while still feeling soft. The only thing I don't really like about the allura is the hard initial feel when first laying down on it, hopefully this is something you get used to. |
