I read the forums. what is inside the tempurpedics? It says space age foam? what is that? Why does temperpedic does not list what is inside their mattress? whya re they so expensive? I wish I could fork out 8000 dollars for high end tempurpedic. But I don't have that money. why do tempurpedic have endless phone numbers? I get a pamphlet every month. Burn money on advertisements and endless phone numbers and then have so high prices and take that money from buyers? I mean buyers are supporting their advertising budget by paying so high prices. Have they got any commonsense? That if they do not advertised so much they could reduce the prices and more people can afford to buy their "SPACE FOAM"! whatever that means. End |

Yeah, so the regular Cloud is 'only' 8" thick. So what? I had an 11.75" thick iComfort Revolution. It had a whopping 5.75" of memory foam (even though Serta clearly advertises 4.75" memory foam). You imply more memory foam equates to a higher value / better mattress. Really? I sank like a stone down into that Revolution. Everyone in the household who laid on the Revolution sank too far into it. Also, it slept hot. Hotter than this Cloud for sure. And my neck was tweaked after about 2 weeks. So, if you want to compare, say, an icomfort Revolution to a Cloud Supreme. $1600 for twin icomfort set. I think $2450 for Cloud Supreme set. Ever seen the box spring that comes with an iComfort set? I had one. It was a POS. It sagged and so did the mattress. If I were going for that plushness, I'd put my money on the TP over the iComfort anyday. And the Revolution resale value .... crap. I ditched the set for a mere $175. No one called when it was ad'd for $250. And how is having 'only few inches of special foam' different than any other memory foam mattress on the market? Serta, Simmons, Sealy, etc, etc .... they all have only a couple to few inches memory foam then a core foam underneath. So, why would Cloud not be suitable 'for most people'? I'm 6'2" , 190 lbs. Are you implying most people would sink right through the 'skinny' 8" Cloud mattress? Funny, cause I am not sinking through it. The support is ... really good. I think the difference is the quality of the foam inside. I don't get hung up on how thick or thin a mattress is. Actually, I don't care all too much for mattresses 12" and more. I look for support, doesn't sleep hot, comfort, pressure relief, .... and so far the Cloud is nailing it on all counts. So, people want Tempurpedic prices to come down. I've seen a few Sealy embody memory foam mattresses at Mancini's, and they weren't cheap either, IIRC, quickly into $2k to 3k range.
I have owned 3 tempurpedics high and low ends and they felt good in begining and then they melted underneath me and I was sinking and sinking. Before I knew, I was down and out waking with intolerable pains. You are on honeymoon now with your tempurpedics and singing praises of it like a new bride. wait more and her real nature will show up soon buddy. Honeymoon period with tempurpedics does not last long as I found out. good luck. lol.

Fact is Tempur-Pedic and their infomercials created the memory foam mattress market. No one believed consumers would pay $2k for a foam mattress until Tempur-Pedic because consumers identified foam with cheap products like disposable cups and packaging material. Without Tempur-Pedic and their infomercials there would not be the option of buying low priced generic memory foam mattresses. It is a free country,at least for a little while longer. You can buy a generic memory foam mattress or inner spring mattress for a few hundred bucks or spend $50k on a mattress. Whatever you are willing and able to spend. people jumping up and down on tempurpedics in their ads and all seem so happy. Tempurpedics must be godsend! By the way how much does it cost to make 8000 dollar mattress? 1000 dollars? hey it is not only tempurpedics by all these sealy serta simmons crap. They all are making huge money by charging high prices and putting crap in their mattress. People are sleeping on poly foam. Tempurpedic has poly foam too just better. Free country and no regulation. corporate greed masquearding as free and deceiving American consumers. Exploitation of consumers hiding behind contempt for government. |

I don't have a Tempurpedic and I'm not planning to get one, so I have no bias. But just wondering: " I have owned 3 tempurpedics high and low ends and they felt good in begining and then they melted underneath me and I was sinking and sinking." If the first one ended up melting and you were sinking, why did you buy a second one which did the same, and then buy a third one? I am a little curious since my brother is thinking of getting this bed. |

On the topic of Tempurpedic pillows, I bought the Suprima pillow last year from Brookstone. LOVE IT. In the process of trying mattresses the past few months, I also really liked the Cloud pillows in the store, but I haven't purchased one since really like have no problems with the Suprima and supposedly Mattress Firm is sending us two free Sealy Embody memory foam pillows also. Was a mail in deal when we bought the mattress so we'll see if/when they actually ever show up. But, with all those pillows, I figured I'd save my money and not buy the Cloud pillow too, but I certainly considered it- it was nice :) Anywho- my Suprima has been great and is still great! http://www.tempurpedic.com/Contoured-Pillows/Tempur-Pedic-SuprimaPillow.asp |

You want us to believe that the 8 inch cloud with 2.8 inch tempur foam is a great mattress. Even the store sales people do not agree with you! I have had 2 tempurpedics and it went just like like the op said. This message was modified Sep 19, 2011 by roy1
