Very similar to the Dan Marino Mattress topper

Positive Cheaper than Tempurpedic, wonderful comfort
Cons: Not as firm as Tempurpedic, turns to soft foam after warming to your body

I agree with Dawn’s earlier evaluation of this product as I had this topper in a 4″ version prior to the Dan Marino Mattress topper and found them to be extremely similar to point that I think that they are the same, even down to their pink color. My findings on this topper are the same as the Dan Marino Topper so rather than re-paste it here, you can visit the review at: http://www.epinions.com/content_194171801220

Positive You get one month of great sleep.
Cons: It costs about $100 a night.

After a drunk driver t-boning me on Xmas Even 1995 on the rear street to a large shopping mall after she has a few tall ones. Months of traction, bad headaches and doors to sleep on, is what I called the hospital bed that was hard as a door.

Husband bought a Sealy Posturepedic pillow top, firm but comfy. That lasted 15 years and 20 pillows later. Neck pain, back pain, muscle relaxers that you cannot drive with, Advil by the dozens. This past 6 months has been the worst, feeling like I broke it again.

A friend of mine works for Select Comfort and told me there were waterbed size replacement mattresses (to fit hardside waterbed frames) in the model 5000. I wasn’t happy with my waterbed mattress at the time and thought it would be a good way to go since they were offering 0% interest with no payments for a year and $250 off.

Boy what a mistake. I wish I had never done it. I wasted a $1,000 on this. No matter what sleep number I put this bed on I could not sleep well at all. The bed never seemed comfortable at all. On weekends when I’d sleep in some, I’d wake up sore most of the time.

We have had the Englander Latex Foam bed for a little over two years. In the store, it was the most comfortable bed I had ever felt. It had a uniform support that felt unlike any other bed I had ever experienced. The sales person told us that she and her husband had one at home that they absolutely loved – claiming that it completely relieved their back pain when nothing else seemed to work. We were unhappy with our current bed, so we bought it. Unfortunately, we did not consult any other sources beforehand.

What’s good about it?

THE PURCHASE:

In September 2005, I purchased a King Size DeluxBed by Tempur-Pedic. It has a depth of 10″, 2″ more than the ClassicBed. I bought king size sheets that are suppose to fit 10″-15″ depth mattresses, and they are a little big. I have to tuck part of the sides of the sheets up under the mattress.

Our six-year-old traditional, innerspring mattress had developed a significant sag despite frequent turnings, and my back had developed an accompanying twinge in the morning. My wife had been having some trouble sleeping and thought the bed and mattress were part of the problem. She had also expressed a desire for a king-size bed, so it was time to go mattress shopping.

DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT buy anything from this company! If you want to determine which reviews to believe, look at the details. The good reviews are very general, the bad reviews are explicitly detailed. I am embarrassed that I put myself into this position. Below is a copy of the letter that I sent to my credit card company.

After 20 years, we decided to catch up with the 21st century and buy a new style of bed. What a horrible mistake! I might as well have stuck with the old water beds that swept the country! This bed is way overpriced, way overrated, and way under comfortable. We have struggled with the adjustments to find comfort. I, in particular, have awakened with neck and back aches. I never felt level (my side on the edge feels like I am tipping out) and because of the difference in our levels out bed looks saggy on one side when made. After 28 days of “free trial” I made a decision to return to a normal comfortable mattress. Upon calling for return, I was met with a Customer Service person who insisted that I could change things and he would send somebody out with a piece that would firm up my side to make the bed level. Obviously, this has happened before or they would not readily have a piece to “fix” this problem Oh, I see, this wasn’t included in the original bed. Now they send out extra pieces to fix the bed. This is like a car with no turn signals! Here’s the “free trial” costs…Pick up the bed………..$199.00

Original Set up/delivery..$149.00

Special Protection cover..$ 79.99 (no return)

Special Mattress Pad……$239.99 (no return)

TOTAL LOSS = $667.98 at this point
