This mattress is a little expensive, but is average price when compared to other high quality mattresses. It has a zip off liner, so if you have children that have accidents or leaky diapers, or if you spill something, you just unzip the liner and wash it. your mattress will never have ugly stains or get mildew, mites or bed bugs, because the liner is nonporous. If you set something on the bed and your child or pet jumps on the bed, it won't fall off. If you or your spouse tosses and turns at night, this is the perfect mattress. I don't toss and turn as much, and when I do, it doesn't bother my husband as much as with our old mattress. It is a bit heavier than an average mattress. It only takes standard sheets, so most of the new sheets are too big, because they are made for pillowtop mattresses.

For those who are interested, Tempur-pedic manufactures pillow-top models as well. However, I seem to always feel as if I am falling backwards when sleeping on a pillow-top bed. Can recall the days of having a water bed which was overfilled.
Tempur-pedic beds can take some getting use to (took me 3 months)--but they will eventually, easily spoil you. While in the store, sleep on them for 15 to 30 minutes each before deciding. Determine if the 5 lb. density or the 7 lb. density per cubic foot is right for you (other manufacturers issue beds at 3 to 4 lb. density or less). I have arthritis all over my body, and severe lower back pain due to dessicated disks, bone spurs, as well as bulging disks. I don't know if it is the bed or my dna (nutagenomics) customized vitamins which are the reason that my pain is less severe upon awakening, or if it is due to the correct position I sleep in as a side sleeper. I utilize both a body pillow between my arms and legs, and a Tempur-pedic neck pillow for my head. I still experience stiffness in the mornings, but far less excruciating back pain.

It can be challenging moving about in a Tempur-pedic bed, for the bed simply will not tolerate your tossing and turning. If you feel the need to move about and insomnia turns you on--then a Tempur-pedic is NOT the bed for you.

I compared and actually slept on --the Sleep Number comfort beds, Latex (natural and synthetic) beds, Coil Spring beds and ended up with a Tempur-pedic 5 lb. density for the best "comfort" and "support". Although, it may not have the durability and longevity of the higher density beds, it certainly seems to be meeting my need for relaxing, restorative sleep!

Beds which were too firm, such as the 7 lb. density ones, tended to feel hard with more pressure points contacting my body in a side sleeping position. I so much like the Tempur-pedic, that when I travel, I plan and seek out those hotels with Tempur-pedic beds.
