Hello all,
Just joined the site and wish I had sooner. Just purchased a new Tempurpedic Rhapsody Breeze mattress and so far it is going well.
When I purchased the mattress the sales person recommended a mattress protector. I decided to pass because I already have a mattress pad. Here’s where my question comes in.
I previously had a sleep number bed and my wife and I hated it. At the time we purchased a mattress cover/pad which has the cooling material in it. Unfortunately sleep number would not take back the mattress pad so we are stuck with it.
Here’s the info on the mattress pad.
Sleep Number® In Balance™ Mattress Pad

We were planning on using this pad with our new mattress however I wonder if this pad is suitable for my new mattress. I have the following concerns.
- The new mattress already has cooling material so I’m not sure if this mattress pad impacts the effectiveness of the mattress cooling material.
- The mattress pad is not waterproof
- Not sure if the mattress pad impacts the memory foam perhaps making it less conforming to my body or impacting it in another negative way.
The mattress salesman who I purchased the tempurpedic mattress recommended the following mattress cover.

He stated this mattress cover was a good pair with my mattress.
I then wondered why not recommend the tempurpedic mattress cover, surely that cover is the best match to my mattress, however he said the one he was recommending was better. Not sure if he makes more money on the former than on the tempurpedic cover.
Here’s the tempurpedic cover: http://www.tempurpedic.com/Basics/Tempur-Pedic-Mattress-Protector.asp
It would seem that the tempurpedic cover isn’t waterproof so perhaps that is not good…
Lastly I did find a mattress cover that appears to be really similar to the one the salesman tried to sell me but it’s 1/3 the price.
Here’s the other one: Amazon.com
My biggest concern is the foam functionality the feel/cooling material would be impacted by a mattress cover so I would like to find one that doesn’t impact my mattress but still gives me the protection.
Perhaps I’m over thinking things…
Thanks for any help you can provide.
