Trying to decide on which Tempur - Cloud or Rhapsody

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to say foremost I'm happy I've found this site before I've purchased a new mattress. The last couple weeks I've been researching Tempur and latex mattresses and have concluded that I'm going to purchase either of those. I've had too many bad experiences with Coil mattresses sagging and I find the latex or foam to be more supportative.

So far I've found latex to be a bit too stiff for me and my wife. We've tried several Tempurs and it seems the Rhapsody and the Cloud Supreme feels the best to us. The Cloud is the most comfortable, where the Rhapsody feels a bit stiff.

I am concerned with the longevity of the Cloud; I'm around 200lbs and question whether it'll hold up over time. If the Tempurs soften up a bit I could see maybe the Rhapsody is the one to choose. I currently have a bit of back pain only when I'm sleeping and just wake up but I suspect its from my current mattress as its sagging terribly. During the day I feel fine.

I'm looking for some advice on owner's experiences, both good and bad.

Also, Canadian friends: Do you have a place in mind to get the best price for a price match?


Thanks in advance.

No worries I appreciate the advice though. If I knew I could find a HD layer somewhere for my side I'd just do that.


I think 1" of HD memory foam will be tough to find.  You could of course get 1" of firm latex.  Not sure if that will work though, and definitely will change the feel.

If you go for 2 twin beds, I would consider putting 1" of firm latex (or other firm foam) below the TP to even out the heights.  That wasy you do not change the feel of the TP very much.
