OT Tempur-Pedic

And you can contact a local foam distributor and ask for memory foam - still cheaper.

Memory foam is excellent for even support without pressure points, but it is also excellent insulation - that's good in winter, but no so good in summer.

our king was about $3600. I'd say that was about twice a good spring mattress. But we love it. It takes a few days for the stink of the foam to go away, but it does leave. And they are certainly different to sleep on. Be sure to get a satisfaction guarantee, they may not be for everyone. Ours came from "mattress firm".

One other thing, it's the only way to get away from the hump in the middle of a king. The tempur-pedic's sit on a solid box. Not a box spring. So there's no give to the platform at all and therefore not a hump in the middle.

Sounds kind of lonely. Where would the world be without a hump in the middle of the night? ;)

Here in New England we have Bob's Discount Furniture.

HAR HAR> I get it. berry berry funny.

We got a memory foam mattress from

Try Primo international's memory foam beds. Just as good. And a lot less $$$ ... I have one and sleep like a baby. They also give you 2 pillows with it..Keep your old box spring and just get the mat..

Right back here. I suppose.

I have the same foam bought in a roll as a bed cover, in winter you get warmer faster in a cool-cold room and need less room heat at night, in summer you will need the AC set to a lower temp then you would without the foam. I took off my foam cover last week and am alot cooler at night since I dont cool the house with AC much at night. Foams are great insulators. I also wonder if it isnt possibly unhealthy for you, your skin breathes-foam doesnt it seals. Get a cheap cover for 70$ and try it, its cheaper than a bed and easy to dispose of if you dont like it. Maybe in winter I will use it again.

My King, with a wheeled platform, a couple pillows, covers, tax & set-up was about $2300 a couple yrs ago. [from Metro Mattress , I think they are just in NY]

I couldn't believe my wife picked it out. she likes a mushy mattress. I prefer a board. We both like the memory foam.

I tried one at a local store and then ordered the knock-off that Costco sells. I figured I could return it if I didn't like it. But I really couldn't tell the difference from a TP. I've had it for two years and still love it.

It's a bit odd sitting on the edge of the bed because it really does sink down, but it comes right back up when you get off. I've learned to sit back a bit futher to avoid that.

I also read about them being too warm but I never had that problem. This is my second summer with it and no problem.

Costco sells several different tiers - the difference is the top 5" or so, made up of differing foams. I got one of the more expensive ones, but it's still cheap compared to TP.

I think Costco now sells them in the stores.

They are VERY heavy. Lifting the mattress up to tuck the sheet under can be a bit of a struggle if you are lacking in arm strength.
