Driving 101 freeway (midnight)….Tempflow Mattress and Aireloom

Mattress Talk General Mattresses Questions
1

On Saturday, I went to a wedding in Santa Maria, and as I was driving down the 101 freeway at midnight, I see a sign that says “TempFlow Mattresses”. I noted that in my head. I researched it the next day.

Apparently, TempFlow is very well regarded in the mattress world. I guess they are mimicing what Tempurpedic is doing except they are using 5 pound memory foam (denser) and they have air ventilation holes for more cooling. I was really hell bent on getting the Tempurpedic LuxeAdapt Firm, but Im going hold off til I visit TempFlow. Im highly intrigued.

On Sunday, I went to Ortho mattress. The lady there said Tempur has no side support and is not durable and dense the original Tempurpedic mattresses. From what Ive read on TMU, this is true. Im 5ft 11in, 225 pounds. Back sleeper. Have Tempurpedic Deluxe (20 years old) and have back pain now. The support is gone.

I was about to buy Luxe Adapt Firm, but it is softer than you might think!!! Im worried that the crater that it has around my butt might be too deep. Im wondering if that will support my back. On a lark, I tried Aireloom Chester Luxetop Firm (Aireloom M1). The back support felt a bit more supportive. The top was soft for side sleeping too. Buy $7k!!! Damn!!!

Any exoerience with TempFlow or Aireloom?

I’ve never heard of TempFlow but their use of 5 PCF memory foam is a good sign of quality. Regarding the TP Luxe Adapt Firm if you suspect that it’s allowing you to sink in too deeply it likely is… it only gets softer with use and tends to allow gradually deeper sinkage overnight. I tried it myself and when brand new it felt great with excellent pressure relief, but in a couple of months as it broke in I was sinking in too deeply and had bad lower back pain. Regarding the Aireloom you liked it is a unique design and feel, and that $7K price is I believe its “high retail” price. It should be available at closer to half that price when offered on sale or through negotiation. Macy’s sells Aireloom and often has sales on them at about half of the inflated “retail price”.

Good luck and regards,
