New Tempur-Flex mattress making me miserable

[phoenix]

Hi LAckofzzz,

Thanks for the input. I am begrudgingly facing the reality that I am probably going to have to go out and look for a new mattress. This one felt so amazing in store, that I am questioning whether I’ll make the same mistake twice.

It’s easy to get “faked out” by the “showroom feel” of a mattress that is very subjective but there are some testing guidelines in step 4 of the tutorial post that can help greatly improve your odds of making the most suitable choice.

Post #2 here that I linked in an earlier reply has more about the different ways to choose a mattress (either locally or online) that is the most suitable “match” for each person’s specific needs and preferences and how to identify and minimize the risks of making a choice that doesn’t turn out as well as you hoped for that are involved in each of them.

Oh, and I still notice that if I sleep on my side, and my leg on the bottom is straight, my ankle is in the air!! (We are talking inches.) What’s that about? Is that a normal memory foam thing?

That could mean that the middle of your body including the upper part of your legs is sinking down too far into the mattress so that your legs are at an angle and aren’t as level as they could be. It would be hard to know for sure though without seeing you on the mattress.
