Mattress recommendations

When we were bed shopping we learned that the Tempupedic can be very hot as it retains heat, which is why it was a big NO for me.  Even lying on it for 5 minutes I could feel the heat being reflected back.

My inlaws have a sleep number bed and love it.  Ive slept on one a few times when I stayed at a Raddison Hotel and was very happy and slept well.  Which is always a challenge when travelling

We ended up getting a Sealy w/ a pillow top and have been very happy with it. 

Some companies, like 1-800-MATTRES (you leave off the last S for savings) will let you do an in home test as well

I've got a Tempur-pedic.  X2 on the heat issue.

I find it very comfortable and supportive, but due to its mass density, it has a high specific heat.  so, it's cold when you get in it, and takes a while to warm it up, then- it gets all hot and stays hot.  It just doesn't breathe all that well.

 We put a down topper over it, and that has solved most of that issue.

I have the Costco generic memory foam and love it.

I used to live in the Mojave Desert and was never bothered by the heat.

I had a Simmons Back Care mattress.  great b/c  i'm a side and back sleeper and it allowed for a straight spine position.  Not sure they still make it or if they have a replacement style. 

upon moving in with my partner, we have a Serta Perfect Sleeper Crestdale- it is good, but i don't love it as much as the previous one. I do however, love HIM more than the mattress.

Do Not, under any circumstances, buy the type of awful mattress at my in-laws-to-be.  I don't know what it is but i usually end up sleeping on the floor instead. 

x2.  End of story. 

Sleep number beds are torture devices disguised as beds.

i thought you were seeing a doctor! (oh pot stirring)

i've slept on a sleep number bed, and they are pretty amazing.  but i don't have one, my mattress is pretty beat up itself.

My in-laws have a sleep number. Have house-sat for them a few times and I flippin hate that thing! I would rather sleep on the floor.

I'm not sure what brand/model ours is but my wife and I agree it is the best thing we have ever slept on. It is a regular mattress but has the tempur pedic type foam on the top. I'll check it out when I get home and post the brand and model.

Update: Ours is a Denver Mattress Durango Firm.

Very comfy.

Tempur-Pedic!!! LOVE.

Had that for 2 weeks now and I couldn't possibly be happier. The wife loves it too.

We have the Trump Bryant Park by Serta. We have had it for a couple months and love it. It has memory foam in the pillow top which makes it soft enough for me but has the firm-ness of the mattress to hold up for hubby that needs it for his back.

We had an OLD mattress that was only about 6 years old that was quite dented on both sides (with the mound in the middle). Hubby was having back/hip problems and didn't want to go to the doctor. Needless to say all the pain is gone away since we got the new mattresses.

The bed is 95% latex so it stays cooler (for hubby who is always hot) and as they told me at the store that bed bugs can't stay in latex. That is nice to know (HA)
