Mattress Forum

On the adverse side of things, a lot of people hate their Tempur beds when they are brand new because they are too firm and not comfortable enough, and after they soften up they sleep better.  

All I wil say is that if you don't want a truly soft bed stay away from the lowest density beds they make.  They probably will get a little mushy down the road. 

I don't know why you say that about low density tempurpedics.

Because I called Tempurpedic directly and talked to many different salespeople they have.

All of them told me low desnity tempurpedics do not soften or get mushy just the same like high denisty tempurpedics.

There is no difference between them regarding getting soft.

They also told me that tempurpedics only get "little soft" and "not much" over time after you buy them and use them.

NOW AFTER READING THIS POST AND THE OTHER POST BY THE SAME POSTER, AND BUDGY'S REPLY,  I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE AND WHOM TO TRUST.

Comfort and support are two criteria for mattress.  It is possible for foam to soften a little (mine did) and still provide good support.  I think it is pretty high quality foam that is engineered to last. 

I really do not think Tempurpedic is out there building mattress they know will just sag and soften and mush in a year.  How would that allow them to be and remain one of the top selling brands in major retail stores all over the country? 

Some people think Tempurpedic is out to screw customers, they are very suspicious of them. 

Someone, think outside the box.  Go to a store have them toss the friggen mattress off the foundation.

Just try to pick up a Tempurpedic fixed foundation (use two people!)  The thing is a brick house.  That will give you some idea of what quality of product Tempurpedic is now building.  Then pick up one of those chintzy, lighweight 'box spring' foundations that comes with just about every other mattress. 

Joed, Contour Signature is Tempurpedic's 'classic type' of foam. The Cloud ES foam is a little quicker responding. 

Why don't you just take a small risk and just try a regular Cloud from that massive retailer near you?  $1999 + tax queen set.  Worst that could happen is you don't like it after 60 days or so and just return it with a small pickup fee.  No exchanges, just return.

I'm 190 lbs and fine, you're 205 and looking to lose a few.  You should be fine. 

Hard to explain, but Tempurpedic's can be a little hard to 'read' or discern in the store.  It doesn't seem they will be all that pressure relieving and comfortable, but once you get them home, they have this way of standing above the rest because they remain comfortable through the night.

You don't need a bed that feels good for 1/2 hour in the store.  Get a bed that is still comfortable in the morning, after 7 hours, etc...
 

I knew within 3 weeks the iComfort Revolution was too soft for me.  It wasn't that the mattress was sinking down and down, it was a little too soft from early on, but the effects can be subtle as it takes a week or so for the neck or back to tweak a little if it's wrong. 

Get the right mattress for you and all should remain well.   So much talk of mattresses starting into a sagging trend after few months.  I can't wait to find out.  I think it will be rather uneventful.

hello,  I did go to stores and tried cloud/supereme/signature etc.

 I thought cloud did not have much cushion on the top.

I tried supreme and found that my butt/hips were sinking more in it and that I almost touched the base foam.

I tried signature. It felt little bit too firm to me. I don't know if it wil feel the same after 1 night on it.

It is not as if I didn't tried them.

I am confused about supreme. The salesman told me although I was sinking in it more, It was a good fit to me.

I wonder....

Another salesman told me signature was good fit as I was laying in it for sometime without turning and shifting sleep positions?

I am still confused.

Budgy said not to buy low density foam.

Buy high density foam mattress.

I have tried BRAND NEW rhapsody at my friends place (IN HI SGUEST ROOM) for 1 week. It was good at firsts and then I started to wake up with pains.

i ALSO FOUND THAT WITH RHAPSODY MY HIPS AND BUTTS WERE SINKING AND SINKING/SAY THE FOAM WAS DISAPPERING BENEATH THE HIPS AND BUTTOCKS! THAT MY BACK WAS HURTING AS THE FOAM FELT SOFTER AND SOFTER and disappeared beneath those parts!

So you see the confusion that I am dealing with.

Honestly, I can't even understand your English.  You use the word 'disappearing' beneath you, which mean to vanish or go away, like magic.  Your problems are bigger than I can advise you for.  So, good luck.
 

I wish I knew how to get it to "soften" a bit.  We tried a softer "topper" for a few weeks, but that wasn't the answer.  We are stuck with a bed that cost $7,000.00+ and cannot sleep on it.  Honestly, it is like sleeping on a rock.  ***Does anyone know how to slightly soften this kind of bed?
