Thanks Phoenix for your thoughtful reply!
I wish I found this website before I bought the tempurpedic…TBH I don’t recall this information about the specific mattress I bought. I am 6’ tall, 190lbs for reference and my wife is much smaller than I at 110lbs and she found the mattress to be too soft after that period.
So we may give the 10 T&N a try and see how it goes.
Thanks again for your help!!

It sounds like you may have chosen a mattress that was on the edge of being too soft for you when it was new and that the normal break in period over the first few months where a mattress will soften slightly was enough to “put you over the edge” of the range of softness that is suitable for you to sleep on (see post #2 here). Unless you are in a much higher weight range and the Tempurpedic you had used thicker layers of 4 lb memory foam (in which case durability could become an issue) it’s very unlikely that the memory foam would have softened more than normal because the memory foams that Tempurpedic uses are good quaity and durable materials as well. The softness and thickness of the comfort layers will also contribute to how much you sink into the mattress and particularly with memory foam, thicker and softer comfort layers can also increase sleeping temperatures.
