Tempurpedic vs Memory foam mattress? Which is better?


I need to get a new queen mattress. Should I spend the money on a tempurpedic or is their a generic brand that sells the same quality for cheaper. I don’t want to buy the name, I want to buy a good mattress. Any suggestions?

The fake ones are of much lesser quality.the foam will break down and fall apart.I bought a Tempurpedic mattress about 15 years ago,and it is the best money I ever spent.You spend a third of your life on it.It is like sleeping on a cloud.Go for the real thing.You will not regret it.Stay away from a pillowtop tempurpedic.It defeats the purpose of the benefits of the mattress.

self inflatable camping mat all lumpy after buying brand new?


I just bought a brand new coleman self inflatable queen size mattress the slim line design that folds in half before rolling up. When I got it home and inflated it, there are huge waves in it and the foam seems to be all flat and bunched up in areas. I took it back to the shop and they told me to put it out in the sun for a few days for it to return to a flat position, but im wondering if this is normal? and will it go flat. The one in the show room looks fine? 6cm thick

In the camping world, Coleman is pretty much shunned with the exception of their propane stoves and lanterns . I know spending more money sucks but you may want to go with a better quality mattress. If the one at the store is to your liking then I guess exchange the one you have and give the new one a shot but they are cheap and mass produced so you really won’t be getting much at best .

Chronic muscle pain in shoulders and neck?


For the past siz months - year I have been waking up with terribly tense shoulders, neck, and upper back.

I sleep on a queen sized mattress which is directly on the floor of my room (no bed frame, no box spring). Could this cause muscle pain?

I sleep with one pillow, although I have a memory foam special neck pillow that I use when I just can’t stand my normal pillow.. I have to say that the special neck pillow really doesn’t make any difference at all!

I notice I do tend to "shrug" my shoulders and squish tightly to my pillow… no matter how hard I try, that is simply how I fall asleep.

Do you think all, or any of these factors are the cause of my muscle pain, and does anyone have any suggestions of what I can do to relieve it?

This sounds familiar. When I would get my pillow pushed up against the headboard, I would wake up feeling like this.

To help mine when my neck is at it’s worst I would sleep with my sponge collar on and no pillow. (about 25 years ago I got T boned in my car it caused major side ways whip lash that I still have problems with today.

For Christmas I got a new pillow from my Chiropractor ( that is who could fix your problem)I bought it, it was not a present. $88.00 for a pillow. But I think you have to solve bad sleeping habits.

This pillow is molded foam, with a bowl shape to hold your head and a ramp that angles down your neck to keep it correctly supported. I have slept on it for about 5 nights now and my neck feels normal for a change. My daughter got one and fixed her snoring and my husband got one and loves it to.

But it does mean to solve the problem, you have to correct your bad habits. You can sleep on your side but it is best flat on the back.

Do try to see a Chiropractor and get your neck adjusted and you should feel much better. I have gone to a Chiropractor for 55 years and see him once a month along with a massage. This is just to feel the best I possibly can.

If you take a nighttime PM it will eliminate pain and help you get a more rested sleep. Aspircream on your neck and shoulders will help also.

Good Luck.

How much should I sell this for at a yard sale?

I have a log cabin type head board (unfinished), Queen size mattress and box springs, and also the bed frame.

I was thinking $100. It was only used for one year, then put in the guest room for the last two years, and only slept on two or three times.

It’s in great shape. But we bought a memory foam set, and we are having a baby now and this set needs to go, so we can convert the guest room into a baby room.
The headboard looks exactly like The Kentucky Bed on this page.

I think 100 is good, you can go down if it’s late in the sale, but I would start with that. Especially with a gently used mattress set.

The beds in college dorms?

Well. im getting a memory mattress, the super comfy foam ones or something. But i was thinking that when i go off to college, the beds in the dorms might be less comfy, so i won’t be able to get used to it. For college dorms, could you bring your own mattress? And what size mattresses? i used to sleeping on queen size- all by myself, i like the space.

You will need to check with your college’s Resident Life & Housing (or whatever it’s called). Most don’t allow you to swap mattresses and if you do, you will have to arrange for it to be moved.

As a suggestion, you may want to buy a memory Foam Mattress pad that goes over the mattress to make it softer. I used one in school and it was very nice. It made the hard bed feel a lot softer.

As for size, it depends again on the school. Most of the beds were a little big larger than twin. If you have a single, it might be a little bigger. Don’t count on having a queen size bed.

Tempurpedic?

I am currently shopping for a new mattress. At Macy’s today I laid on probably every bed in there. None of them felt good to me at all until I laid on the queen size tempurpedic mattress. Now, I am not looking to spend $2500 on a mattress when I have heard you can get a "rip off" of a tempurpedic for half the price and it is literally the same thing. Does anyone have any experience with these off brand memory foam beds? Any suggestions. Thanks a lot.

My son has a knock off brand he bought at Wickes and it has been horrible. Within two years it started sagging horribly in the middle. The company will not stand behind it. Our Tempurpedic mattress is 5 years old and it feels as good as the day we got it. Shop around, we went to a Home Show in Anaheim, CA. There were many stores selling them there and the price kept getting beat isle by isle. We ended up savings $600.00 by the time we bought ours, and it is the true brand too.

What kind & size of bed do you sleep on?

Traditional mattress & box spring, foam, air, sleep number, waterbed, other?

Me - foam (love it!), queen size bed.

We have a queen size sleep number. It’s okay, but I wish I had a foam bed! I think they are so comfortable!

Hi! Where can I get a great deal on a Cal King mattress in the Los Angeles area?

Hello-
I just recently got married and although my wife and I are dealing with the tough economic times, as most of us are, we still need to sleep. It seems like I haven’t had a single nights sleep since I got married. We currently have a Select Comfort Sleep Number Queen bed. Although these are fairly good mattresses, at 6ft2in and 290lbs, I m use to sleeping on a queen alone! My wife only being allof 5ft and 100lbs takes up little space but she’s a "mover and shaker," as am I, while sleeping. Needless to say, we need a larger mattress.
I have been looking tirelessly. I found that the mattress that we like best sems to be the Eurotop’s with Memory Foam top. However, these are also the more expensive kind of mattress. I have been able to find a similar Eurotop at Sams Club for around $800, not including box! It would be a site unseen purchase which I really would prefer not to do, but atleast Sam’s has a return policy. I have heard of people getting great deals, but from where? Help!

Consider including Sunset Medical Products (Brea) in your research.

If you decide to go with memory foam, source it from a USA manufacturer.

Need Advice about Buying a Bed?

I am a college student and i am about to move into my own apartment and i am about to get a bed. I am by myself so I have to be extremely frugal therefore I need something that is not very expensive. I have considered getting a platform bed and even a fullsized bed and just the box springs. At one pt. I even thought about getting a foam mattress and even an airmattress. I am looking for something that is super cheat but is going to last me quite some time. What would you suggest I get. I was really interested in getting a foam mattress but I don’t know how those work and if I need a box spring from them. Need some advice, lol.

Here’s the mattress I am interested in getting.

That link showed a bed frame but no mattress. The bed frame is over-priced (in my opinion). I’ve seen them for half that price on other sites. You could save even more by buying one at a second-hand store or thrift shop. With that type of frame, you would need a box spring and mattress.

Another option that might be good for you is to get a memory foam mattress (they are very comfortable, I have one) and put it on a link-spring base. The memory Foam Mattresses have a much longer life expectancy than conventional mattresses and they are bug resistant.

A really good quality memory foam mattress will be on sale on May 19 at QVC.com. It will be their annual super sale for sleep better month.
Another low-cost store for memory foam mattresses is Overstock.com.
