I bought a Tempurpedic about 10 years ago for my wife’s birthday. It’s been decent but been waking up lately like I’ve been hit by a truck. Just sore, achy, almost like my body was tense all night. So I decided to look for a new mattress, but man there’s a billion different kinds. I know there’s different firmnesses for different body types and sleep styles. Just looking to see if you all have a certain brand or type that works for you? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the reply! I’m not sure of the model, when the wife wakes up I’ll see if I can find it on a tag or something. We did get the adjustable base with it and probably going to use that with the new mattress. Unless they throw in an adjustable base with the purchase of a king, we will probably be staying with a queen because we already have it. The price on some/most of these are outrages, but our thinking is that we use it everyday so we probably should get a good one.

I bought the newest model Temperpediac this year. They have samples of the old foam versus what they use now and honestly it’s not even close to the same thing. They have come a long way and the biggest improvement is the ability to regulate heat now with the layering of foams and gels the use now. I’d suggest checking out the newer models for comparison.

I don't even have a pillow top mattress so you can guess how old that mattress is. I put memory foam over it though and it's all zipped in a mattress cover and sleeps great. I wish it was adjustable. That's really the only negative for tv watching.

Oh. Reason i did it was because the super cheap memory foam mattresses were so tempting. Then i learned they have like 2" of cheap low density and the rest regular foam. So i ended up with over 3x as much memory foam and of higher quality.
Set it all on top of my old box spring. But that was just for convenience. No box spring was needed. You could use a cheap platform up to an expensive adjustable base with it
