I heard the memory foam gets very hot at night, almost uncomfortable warm, because the foam doesn't dissapate body heat well. Is this true?

I've heard about that too, but haven't experience it myself on my mattress.

I've been told that these beds retain a lot of your body heat, so then you get really warm. Any truth to that?

I recently got a queen mattress with two swedish pillows thrown in for about 1640 after taxes and such. This was at the San Diego fair, so it was a special, but they probably have similar deals elsewhere if you do some searching.

As for the quality of the mattress, it's awesome. I'm sleeping much better since I got it and my back feels better. Also, it comes with a 20 year warranty so you can expect to hang onto it for a very long time.

Yes. It takes some adjusting to. After awhile it's worth it though.

As I understand it, the patent Tempurpedic had recently expired. So now others are able to make the same mattresses without the high prices. I just searchd google briefly and I couldn't find anything to back up my statement. Take it for what it's worth.

I purchased a genuine Tempur-Pedic queen sized mattress about 5 months ago. Definitely a worthwhile purchase in my opinion. However, a local place called Ocean State Job Lot was recently selling the generic versions for less than half. Personally I'm a little disappointed as I'm sure if there is any difference at all, it's not much.

I'm looking to buy a tempurpedic bed. From the official website, I can get a double shipped for $1758. I imagine it's possible to find cheaper, though I've heard that Tempurpedic tries to enforce minimum prices. Is there a good place to buy these on the internet or do I have to go out and try to price them locally?

Are there any brands that are the same thing but cheaper? It strikes me as possible that maybe I'm just paying for the brand name.

We bought our California King through QVC about 22 months ago- cost (including shipping and delivery) was about $1100. So yes, you are getting raped for a double for $1700.

They do get a bit warm- they are fantastic during the winter, and less so during the summer. Thankfully it only gets too hot to sleep here a few weeks a year at most, so it doesn't bother me much. I would happily sweat a bit for the comfort and durability.

I feel like I've heard the same thing, but I can't find anything that indicates that on google.
