Always wanted a Tempurpedic, but they're a bit too much money for me. Is this a good alternative?

This is a great alternative. I've had it for almost a year and really like it. The mattress is very comfortable, and has been very durable. I'm not alone in this opinion; my girlfriend also really enjoys the comfort this mattress provides.

YES!! It's very comfortable. My 80 year old parents slept on it and it was totally comfortable. The only data I do not have is that of long term use. However, we've had people stay over for two weeks at a time and everyone has gone on about how great it is.

ours only lasted a year and I had to get rid of it with no warranty. it was a back breaker. it did not hold it's shape. I paid $1600 for it new and put it on Craigslist for $200. waste of money. buy a tempurpedic.

I don't know that it's any cooler, but neither is it hotter. If you have your room temperature set to a cool, comfortable temperature (I like to keep mine about 66 at night, year-round), you should do just fine. I know that many of the foam mattresses/toppers tend to retain heat. I don't believe this one does - at least not to any noticeable extent. On the flipside though, it doesn't seem to dissipate heat any better than you'd find sleeping on a standard mattress. BOTTOM LINE: Temperature-wise, I'd say it's neutral. The benefit comes in the better sleeping surface that contours to your body - a good benefit for the fraction of the cost of a full foam mattress.

I would be afraid to put my tempurpedic on those wires - and I called tempurpedic and they also told me not to. I have the low profile box spring, so even though my bed is really high, I recommend still using some sort of box spring or board. So it's very high up (like you might want a step!) but sturdy and gives lots of storage underneath.

It can be expensive - however I only use it when the temp drops below 30dg. It'll be a bit different for your house I have a 1/2 story (loft) that is where my room and master bathroom are - it stays comfortable without this - This unit makes the bottom area of my house a lot more comfortable.. However this is something you wouldn't want to leave on while at work etc..

It definitely has that "marshmallow" feel. I am experiencing that this bed has much more give than the one that I used to own. In fact, my last one did not really leave the body impression. Like I said in my post I wish that I had seen and sprung for the $750. I am not 100% unsatisfied but from the information that I have the Deluxe would be better.

Julian, I purchased this comforter a month ago and if you are looking for something breathable this is the one to get! Not too heavy or hot at all. Very well made. You will be happy with it! Might I also suggest you look at getting bamboo sheets. After much research, we also purchased this at the same time and I could not be happier with the quality and results. The sheets feel like satin and keep us cool all night. Apparently they have a wicking property that lets heat escape. Still haven't found a pillow that actually works yet in keeping my head from getting too hot. (I've tried them all!)

I like to be warm but haven't noticed the matress changing anything. But since I don't mind heat if it warms up I might not notice. The review I read said that was a reason to get the higher-end "temperpedic" type mattress but I haven't noticed.

I own one for 6 mos...No sweating problems and it is very breathable. I have a tempurpedic mattress as well and I can honestly say this one beats them all...

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!

I'm actually on mine right now and I own a tempur-pedic cloud luxe breeze. This protector is the best I've tried so far as far as being breathable and keeping you cool. I'd give it a shot.

I'm so sorry that I don't know what to say. The mediums are just right for me in every way. If you email comfytopia.com I am sure they can assist you. Both the #1020 and the #1007are very nice...hope you can try them.

We have had this mattress now for almost a year now in our condo, we found it a little hard and added a topper to it, I find you sink down into certainly more than out Tempur-Pedic at home but it is most definitely not the same price point either. We both agree we'd buy it again.

the foam is almost like my tempur pedic bed 2000 dollars worth....its not much difference... i got the gel one bec in summer when you lay down on the mattress it feels warm and hot under the sheet....with the gel it should help to cool the bed while youre lying on it.

Yes, they are pricey. I always do an internet check to see if I can get a better price & free shipping or check etsy. Sometimes you can get similar trainers for less. Another idea is to buy kids underwear and sew extra absorbent padding in the crotch area. I've pretty much done it all :-)

I a planning to have a local sheepskin store make a cover for me, for cushioning and because I don't want to sweat in the summer. They said it would be $50. I could put foam beneath this if necessary. There is a knee bursa and also the infrapatellar nerve that could be at risk if it hurts. There are also soft gardening knee pads that might help.

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.
