how does this compare to the contoured tempurpedic?

It is completely different. This is just a cotton fill as the Tempurpedic is a memory foam. The memory foam will last a LOT longer and is more firm. This is just a cheap cotton fill roll. Flattens out relatively quickly, but at 14$ for two is much cheaper. Also the Tempurpedic pillows are pretty heavy so if you're thinking of this for travel etc, this light weight might work better, you can squish it to fit in a suitcase.

The more expensive one has MSM in it which is for joint health. I use one or the other and cannot see any difference. I decided I'd rather purchase the less expensive one because of that. There doesn't appear to be any difference in the lotion as far as texture or thickness. I get good results from both as far as the magnesium in them. It helps leg cramps at night.

foobah... My Tempur-Pedic (T-P) bed had zero emissions or funky smells from day one and has zero shape issues - none - and it is extremely helpful for the absolute need. Also comes with a TWENTY YEAR warranty, love mine is all I can say. Wish they would offer them here on Amazon as they are pricey to begin with, but U get what you pay for as they say. So true apparently. BTW, I have no stock, interest or bias with T-P just a satisfied sleeper thank God, NASA and T-P ;) good luck.

Yes the topper has helped with my backaches. It does sleep warm...not as hot as another one I have tried. Kind of a trade off I guess. Haven't tried the iso cool one. I was told by a sales person at penny's that it was not hot. Don't know that for sure though and it is more expensive.

Cathryn, I like the pillow and am warm natured. I did not notice a huge cooling effect, but I also believe it is better than the tempurpedic. My short answer is "yes." My long answer is that when compared to other pillows I would say it had a cooling factor but that it was not anything revolutionary. That said, I'd buy it again.

It's more on the firm side. It holds it shape well and supports great. I sleep on my side so this pillow is plush enough for comfort but firm enough to support. Temp wise, it is more on the hot side. I would suggest buying a cool temp fabric cover for it.

Both. I couldn't believe what came with this unit. The outer silver thermal tent, with infrared panels built in on the back and sides. A small fold-up camping style chair with canvas seat (use 1 towel on back + 1 towel on seat + 1 towel on floor under chair during seated use for perspiration + 1 hand-fowl around neck, then velcro that shut); and the heated foot panel for the floor. In addition it has zippers for hands and a remote control w/ it's own front pocket. This thing works. Preheat on highest setting (150) and make sure you turn on heat + foot floor sensor. zip up all. Block heat from coming out hole for the head, by using a fold-over back flap (They thought of most everything). I let it heat up for 15-20 and the first 5 times used the chair. Last time I went in, sat indian style on a folded towel and just covered the neck hold with the fold over flap. My doctor said to get one of these, I tried 3 series of antibiotics this past year for that nasty bronchial bug - and this was the thing that finally made the difference. I used it and thought to return it, but then the snow came back and I was outside - and started a little cough. So back into the tent I went! I will never return it. Keeping it forever. The big wooden models for homes cost way more. You can't beat this thing. I read a book or put on a movie and it makes a great in home spa treatment. Use coconut oil on skin, put conditioner in hair, drink a cleanse - and sweat out the toxins.

It's not...I honestly did not notice a difference in the two. I saw an iComfort at a local mattress store, and while the covering is different, the two feel the same to me.

The housing offered by Contour for the specific model is best. It is compact, easy to use, maintain and completely waterproof down to at least 120feet.

the only difference I have found if the foam. I tried out a friends basic model and then bought the one with the foam as I have a very bad back. I have not been sorry for spending the extra money. Good luck on your purchase.

Yes, I currently own a tempurpedic $2500+ king size memory foam mattress at my primary residence that I've owned since 2010. I purchased a king size sleep innovations 12" suretemp memory foam mattress about 2 months ago for my vacation home. I've switched back and forth between mattresses about 6 times. The sleep innovations mattress is considerably more comfortable than the tempurpedic, and I get a much better night's sleep on it. There's absolutely no comparison.

I purchased this matress for use in my RV. I had previously purchased a 3" foam mattress for the RV and I felt like I was bottoming out so a thicker one was definitely the answer. I have a tempurpedic foam mattress in my bedroom. I would say that this matress is more firm then the tempurpedic but not enough that it effects my sleep.

I returned it. I wouldn't recommend it. If you are looking for a heating pad - go with the original . There is also a "shawl" size heating pad that is nice - its kinda like a blanket.

I bought both , I guess the mattress cover is more depth , but there the same , but to be honest I skipped paying $1000 for new mattress using this.

The beds do not connect, they just meet in the middle. We love them. We can cuddle without much difficulty. The adjustable features are amazing. It is just as good or BETTER than tempurpedic. Hth

I'v used both the supplied cotton cover and I a velour type cover I got on close out at Bed Bath & Beyond. Both were very comfortable and were not hot. I only use it (two of them, I'm a side sleeper, so I switch) as a neck down support pillow. I have another pillow for head rest. These or this pillow is very full and comfortable.

Elvin, I use it on memory foam that has holes for air circulation, so it's supposed to stay cool. The mattress is okay on its own, and better yet with topper, but the difference is not that great. Couldn't say how it would perform on Tempurpedic. I think in general these memory foam toppers are designed for use on regular mattresses, not mattresses that are already foam. Also, it's thicker than you think: your bed will be a lot higher and you have to make sure your fitted sheet can cover it. Wish I could be more specific on Tempurpedic. My best guess is that it will help, but I can't honestly say how much. Good luck! Elvin, I use it on memory foam that has holes for air circulation, so it's supposed to stay cool.
