Tempurpedic 10 Inch Mattress Review

We heard all the rave reviews and were taken in. So we bought our $3000 king size tempur-pedic mattress and now my husband sleeps in the spare room and I get up several times a night to ease the back ache. 

First there was the noxious head-ache inducing smell that we lived with for several months. I don't know how to describe it; maybe carpet glue or something along those lines.

Then there is the heat generated by the mattress; living in a hot climate I end up perspiring heavily in this bed because it retains heat. I have to move frequently just to cool down.

Then there is the discomfort; I hoped my upper back pain would get some relief but no. I get up several times a night and move around to try and relieve the stiffness in my back.

We are both side sleepers. My husband complains the bed disconnects his shoulder when he lies on his side. I end up lying on several pillows to try to align my spine more comfortably.

I wish we could have tried this bed out beforehand. After 1 night we knew we hated it and now my husband uses the sealy posturpedic in the spare bedroom to get a good nights sleep. Our previous mattress on this bed was an $800 ikea one - and more comfortable than this. Sigh.. after such a huge outlay of money we feel obliged to suffer this one a while longer.
