Tempur Pedic or Sleep Number?

[slfmade]

Sorry Haz. I had to get in on it. I was feeling left out, and I'm struggling to fit in with the popular kids. lol

[Razor]

u suck..... all of you suck.....

~Haz~

Lmao....

[JuicyJ]

Listen Razr. I sell all these beds. Don't waste your Money. The mark up on Tempur Pedic is so stupid, and sleep number is a joke. Don't get me wrong. I'm a fan of Memory Foam Mattresses (the all foam ones, not the memory foam on coils ones). I've been sleeping on a Knock-Off Memory Foam Mattress for 5 years and the comfort/feel hasn't changed a bit.

Couldn't agree with this more. I bought
an (all foam) memory foam and it is awesome. I bought a very firm one though. Ever since working construction for years my back was thrashed but this mattress was a great investment. Im not sure how much you weigh but a firm memory foam might not be a good idea unless you are 200lbs+. I'm 220
And find that it's perfect but some girls who have spent the night have felt like they float on it (no 200lbs+ girls have spent the night haha)

I find that the position that I sleep in really makes a huge difference in how I feel when I wake up.

You guys who like the memory foam mattresses any certain brand? How thick?

I'm reading a lot of good reviews on the Novaform Gel Memory Foam from Costco.

I'm interested in this as well.. What are some good brand beds to look for Slf?

I'm in the market for a good bed, been lookin at both beds mentioned above but don't know much about em except they cost alot. I'm suprised to hear soo many ppl dislike them.

[Sicko]

I have sleep # and am not overly impressed either. I dont hate it, I just feel that for the money spent. ( about 3g's) it would have made me sleep better than I do. The only real plus I see to having the sleep # bed is the fact that you are able to adjust the firmness level to change it up when you feel like your bed sucks and you "need" a new bed. Then you just take it back to 0 and find the number that is comfortable. I only do this every few months, not every night.
If I had it to do over I prolly would not buy the sleep # just because the inflated price doesnt = the better sleep.

The memory foam is only 3 or 4 inches thick on all memory foam mattresses I think, then the rest is either another type of foam or coils. I'm not sure what brand I have

[slfmade]

As far as brands go....Well, As I mentioned earlier I don't buy Brand Name for myself. The quality isn't any better and you're paying for the name. I've looked at the costco ones, but I wasn't impressed even though I'm a huge fan of costco.

If I were to go brand name I would look into the Simmons Comforpedic line of memory foam. They have their "dual air flow" technology and "cool foam" which will keep you from getting hot. They also have a "loft" collection which is good value for the price, but in my opinion isn't quite as good as the comforpedic.

Sealy also has their line of memory faom called "True Form". I hate regular Sealy Mattresses due to a stupid amount of warranty issues and returns, but their Memory Foam mattresses are really good.

Iron Man makes a really good memory foam as well for a great price. If you go that route try to get one of the models that's half memory foam and half latex. It's a really solid bed at a great price.

One thing I might note. Memory Foam works by reacting to your bodyheat. As your body temperature heats up the foam, the foam molds to your body. A lot of people will put these thick mattress protectors on their beds. This isn't the way to go in my opinion as it never really contours to your body. I just use a sheet and don't worry about it. For those of you that sweat a lot or who start a tren cycle...I would buy the thinnest water proof mattress protector you could find and just go with that.

Also. If you wanta save some more money....don't buy the matching box spring/foundation. These companies are making a killing by charging 400.00-1000.00 for a piece of damn wood with cardboard on top of it. It's stupid!!! Buy some no name foundation for 100.00. It'll work just as well. Unfortunately, this will void your warranty, but IMO warranties are useless after the first year anyway because the manufacturer WILL find a way out of it.

That's correct, and there's different density's of the foam as well. I recommend as least a 4lb density for memory foam. 5.3lb is pretty common.

Thanks for all the great info bud. I appreciate it

[hearnrumors]

I got a high-quality, non-name-brand memory foam mattress that's firm on my side and plush on the gf's side.

Almost got stuck with one of those sleep numbers... thank god we found this instead... million times better

Yeah...several companies have done that. I used to sell a brand named "dormia" that sold those. Interesting concept but for whatever reason they never sell really well.

Ok I like that one! hahahhahaha

[lovbyts]

OK back on subject.... lol

Everyone should take the advice by Slfmade of getting a water proof mattress protector. You can get them at Walmart for about $15 and it beats having to worry about spilling something on the bed and ruining/staining a $$$ mattress or if that wet spot will seep through. lol

I would still like more information/opinions about the memory foam mattresses, not the toppers but the full mattress.

[JD250]

Memory foam mattresses suck, still got one, can't give the damn thing away, they're hot, trying to take a poke at the ol lady on one of those things is ridiculously difficult, it's like you cant move, I was warned by my chiro that he had seen many people who had them show up a few months later with weird hip and low back pains typically people who sleep on their sides......he was right. Tried the sleep number too.......fail. Simmons makes a good pillow top foam mattress that is very comfy.

[lovbyts]

I didnt mean the straight memory foam but like slfmade and others were talking about layered foam.

What about the natural latex mattress?

It seems slfmade like the memory foam mattress and he has dealt with a lot of different types due to his business.

[lovbyts]

LOL, yeah I sleep on the floor when my back starts getting bad but it sucks after a day or two.

I'm a back sleeper, I cant sleep on my stomach or side; especially with the bad shoulder. I had to sleep on my stomach for 3 months due to my eye surgery. I had to keep face down at the ground 24/7 for 3 months. I slept on a massage table with my face in the hole looking at the ground. Yeah that sucked.

[Razor]

Well turns out I have a pretty damn good bed.
