tempur pedic - opinions from people who own one, please!

22. I have a costco version

Got it for free from my brother who HATED it.

My complaints:

- SO HOT! Luckily I live in Canada so most of the time it's not a big deal - plus I have 2 really thick cotton mattress pads so that helps.

- Not easy to get out of if you've had surgery. Or if you're overweight. And if you've had surgery and are fat (btdt) you'll need help or you'll be stuck, lol.

- It gets indendations where you sleep over time.

- It's very very heavy and it makes it REALLY hard to make the bed (ie pick the corners up to put the fitted sheet around). HARD on the back when you're doing that.

- Sheets don't stay on properly. Because the foam shrinks when you sit/sleep on it, the sheet goes down with your butt/body and the corners slip off. I'm always remaking my bed.

-My back hurts worse than the spring mattress set w/memory foam that my ex took. I miss my old mattress...


Good things:

- No pressure points. My arms don't go numb sleeping anymore, no matter what position I'm in.

- Cozy on a cold winter night.

Hope that helps some. I'm actually looking to buy something new this next summer. Either that or invest in a/c, but I think with my electricity rates, the mattress will be cheaper. Either way, not another summer with this mattress and no a/c.
