Mattress Forum

Sorry I only looked at the second URL you had, I didn't even notice the first one.  But I did look at the first one just now, they don't even tell you what ILD it is.  I would pass on that one too.

By the way click on the little box above the message posting, it says "link" click that and then copy the URL there.  It makes it easier for us to look at the "hotlink" then.  Thanks.

I just read you have a tempurpedic, how old is it?  Is it causing pain? 

About a year. i think my mistake was buying it used from a friend of mine. He had it 2 years and probably already broke it down. I actually called tempurpedic before I bought it and of course they said it would be fine if I couldn't afford a new one. It has never felt right or comfortable. Live and Learn!

I don't know how many of the layers are actually glued together. When I took the cover off my TP, there was a thin sewn white undercover and I could see the different colors and feel the layers, but I couldn't tell if they were glued or not. Maybe the comfort layer and support layer directly under it are glued, but they could still be flipped. Also the base air channel layer(s) at the bottom

Now, I'm certainly not recommending the procedure described in that link...

But, if you think about it, we're always saying how great the flippable mattresses were, and how great it is being able to move layers around. Also, look at all that has been accomplished by "mattress surgery".

If you had a TP and loved it when you got it, then it became so uncomfortable as to be useless, then why not open it up and see what you could do? Providing, of course, it was no longer under warranty. Hmm... what about adding a layer of latex in between those TP layers?

I've seen it time after time on this forum-- people are ingenious when it comes to customizing and creating their beds.

 

 

Is it still under warranty?  I read some warranties are not transferrable upon new owners.  Not sure what mattress company that was.  Seemed like another way out.

I wouldn't buy from friends anymore
