Need help deciding on a memory foam mattress...

[phoenix]

Hi jxkim,

i am curious if anyone may know the specs of what i bought?

Tempurpedic has been removing even the few specs they did have both from their site and from retailers sites it seems as well. They really don’t want people to make any kind of coparisons it seems

In any case … the foam specs of the cloud select are:

1.2" of 4.1 lb memory foam
1.6" of 5.3 lb memory foam
5.2" of polyfoam @ 2.2 lbs.

the tempur cloud select is a bit firm thus far and ive been waking up warm/hot. i was not using a bed sheet, put it on today because i wanted to air out the smell. not sure if sleeping with out a bedsheet would make it that much warmer. my previous mattress was a “Sarah Peyton 10-Inch Convection Cooled Memory Foam Mattress” from amazon, but i didnt have a heat issue with it. the problem was after 3 years the body impression/depression i left in that sarah peyton mattress was too deep and i felt it was affecting my sleep and back.

With only 2.8" of memory foam … and depending on your weight … it’s quite likely that you are feeling some of the firmness from the firmer base layer below the memory foam.

You can read more about the many factors that can affect sleeping temperature in post #16 here and post #29 here which may help you offset any tendency to sleep hot.

i have thoughts of upgrading to the tempurpedic cloud supreme or cloud supreme breeze. but the cloud select @ $1700+tax was already a big expense (that i financed) for my income bracket. i may also consider just returning it all together for perhaps something else on my list. i’d appreciate if someone who knows a lot about these tempur-pedic products can chime in. or on the other listed products.

my original list came down to this (after 2 long days of research):

• TEMPUR-Cloud Select

As you probably know from reading the site I would have a hard time suggesting anyone purchase a Tempurpedic or upgrade top a more expensive version when there are so many mattresses that use the same of better quality materials for substantially less. You can read a bit more about my thoughts on Tempurpedic in post #10 here.

• Amerisleep Liberty Bed (currently $950 after coupon)
• 4" 4.5lb density BioPur™ memory foam, 8" BioCore™ base layer[/li]
• i found out that Amerisleep BioCore™ base layer is 2.2 lb density and 36 ILD from a rep.[/li]

You can see some of my thoughts about Amerisleep at the end of both post #4 here and post #4 here and a forum search on Amerisleep (you can just click this) will bring up more information about them. As I’ve mentioned in other posts … they are in a better value range but not in the best value range IMO.

• My Luxury Mattress 11" Invigor Bamboo (currently $985)
• 4" of premium 5LB 12 IFD memory and 7" of our Flex Poly

These are better value yet which is why they are listed in in post #12 here which includes some of the better memory foam options I’m aware of.

also does anyone know about sleeplikethedead.com, because i find it strange that “bed in a box” is their top brand over tempurpedic?

You can read some of my thoughts about mattress reviews (which is the basis for their site) in post #4 here and both sleep like the dead and bed in a box in post #2 here.
