TSNBDSC Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 tsnbd -- so you're convinced with regard to the heat retention issue? That, to me, is the biggest drawback of memory foam. Salespeople say it's a myth. Website says new material is being used. So we'll see. Proofs in the pudding. Take it home try it out and see what happens. Might not be that much of an issue with the newer models. If it's that bad, I'll trade for the hybrid foam/gel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck; please report back. We'll probably wait a couple of months before making a purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta get new carpet in first. Then the new bedroom set. Then the goodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you have a bad back, you try everything. So, a year ago after yet another mattress purchase we decided to give the memory gel pad a go over the mattress. Bought it at Costco the pricepoint was a little over 200 bucks. Because of a bad back, it wasn't heat that relegated it to the barn, it was to dam firm. But again it's just a 3" pad over the mattress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUFFALOKIE Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 After visiting a half dozen stores and twice as many web sites we decided on the Tempur-Choice Luxe with adjustable base. Seems like they took what Sleep Number failed on ( center divider, construction, etc. ) and improved on it. 5 years to back it up 100 %. Thanks to all for you insight. http://www.tempurpedic.com/tempur-choice-collection/tempur-pedic-tempur-choice-luxe.asp Holy shnikees! Four- grand for a california king!?!?

TSNBDSC Posted July 21, 2013 Author Share Posted July 21, 2013 Congrats! Very interesting bed! Thanks. Lots of questions to be answered. Like LA mentioned, if it solves your sleep issues it's worth the bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSNBDSC Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 Well after 4 months of house renovation we finally got our Tempur-Choice Luxe with adjustable base. So far so good. Adjustable base is the bomb. Worth the money and a must have. The air mattress works great giving an adjustable feel from soft to medium-firm. Wife likes soft, i like soft /medium. Back and neck issues are going away. I don't feel the need to go sleep on the couch in the middle of the night. 10 out of 10 in my book. BTW, no heat retention at all.

The Poojer Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 If anyone is interested I can get my hand on a friends and family coupon for sleep number. It'll be released tomorrow. I'm happy to share it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Security Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Me and the wife bought a bed called "Sleep To Live" http://sleeptolive.com/four_questions/sleeptolive.html Site does not list prices, and you go through a diagnistic test to determine which bed to get for you (and your wife, husband, whoever), and then they make the bed for you. My wife has a different side than I do as far as how firm the bed is, and it never needs to be turned over, and has a lifetime warranty. Very expensive, but huge, great, and worthwhile investment, I have a real bad sleep issue, and I rest so much better with this bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southtampacane Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 We have a Serta icomfort. It is very firm but 3 years in it has held up very well. I am a good 50 lbs heavier than my wife so I rotate the mattress every few months and thus far we have had no issues with it sagging, and definitely no issues with heat which is important given we live down south, It isn't cheap, but a good night sleep is important. I have heard good things about the Tempur Pedic's but those were a bit outside what I was willing to spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IslandBillsFan Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I never (and still don't) understand the Sleep Number beds. It seems to me you set your number to what you like and then never change it. So why not just buy a soft or firm mattress you like from the beginning? Only thing I can guess is if your spouse has a different like than you. As everyone mentioned though the divider in the middle is "annoying". On a side note, what happened to water beds. I remember 15 years ago they were popular and seemed like the cool bed. I haven't seen one in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
