choose latex over viscoelastic. it's just as expensive, but lasts literally 30+ years and is more comfortable. another benefit is that latex is naturally hypo-allergenic. don't get me wrong, both types are leaps and bounds better for a good night's sleep than innerspring, but latex has definite advantages, and visco has not been on the market(widespread) long enough to have a good track record.

trust me, i sell both products.

cheers!

i'm not educated to know what you're referring to? is this the foam that makes up the bed? or the covering?

sorry for my ignorance,

Default Re: Do any of you sleep on a TempurPedic mattress?

I bought the Novaform mattress topper a few months ago from Costco. http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product...rPath=93*4257* It's been a great supplement to my regular mattress. I'm sure it's not quite as good as a full temperpedic mattress, but I would guess it has to be at least 70% effective as the real thing. My guess would be strictly based on the comfort level of using the topper. As I've never slept on a full temperpedic mattress. I have briefly lied down on one in the brookstone stores.

Anyway, it seems that Costco has recently acquired the full mattress under the Novaform brand. Here's a link:
http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product...Path=93*20637*

Now that I've tried the mattress topper, I'm now more interested in getting either the Novaform mattress or the real temperpedic mattress. Note that the Costco Novaform mattress is $550 for a queen in the stores (it cost more online) and the brookstone price is about $1600 for the same size.

Also, I notice that the Novaform mattress says it's about 12 inches thick, but only 3 inches of the top is premium form and the bottom 9 inches is standard form.

Are the temperpedic mattresses completely made of premium foam? I think they are only about 8 inches thick too, right? I would love to just buy the real temperpedic mattress, but the Novaform is about $1,000 less and I've found even the Novaform topper to be really great itself. So, I'm somewhat inclined to just spend the $550 for the Novaform, but hate to settle for less IF the temperpedic is worth the extra $1K.

I've got a buddy who builds 'em. He just orders the form wholesale and cuts it up into matresses. I haven't had him make one for me, but he always offers, saying he "knows a great foam guy." It's pretty hilarious, and I expect I might take him up on it if I settle 'round here after school. Anyway to answer your question, I really have no idea about premium vs normal form, but I doubt I'd bite on the namebrand bed.

I've heard that the Novaform is less dense than the Tempurapedic equivalent, but if you can't feel a difference than go for the cheaper one.

There is another mattress (Sweedish) that costs something like five grand or so. Forgot the name. How does that compare?

PS Hate the foam pillows from Brookstone.

No, but I got one of them pillows and it's dope as f*ck!!! I sleep like a baby.

I slept on one of those Sheraton hotel Angel beds or something like that and I'm planning on purchasing that whenever I get a chance.

Default How Does TempurPedic Compare With a Duxbed?

In my post late last night I forgot the name of the Sweedish bed. Just Googled it and it is a The Duxbed. Anyone try this one? A friend did shop once a few years ago and once they got up over five grand for the complete set he lost interest [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
