My Best Purchase Last Year
Positive comfort, value
Cons: none
I have tried various high-end traditional mattresses during the past decade. Whatever mattress I slept on, I could rarely get a good night’s sleep. I’d wake up often, toss and turn, etc. A year ago I bought a Tempur-Pedic. I have been sleeping so much better on this wonderful mattress. I did not have any real adjustment issues, nor temperature problems. Since I work at home, I find that I often migrate to my bed with my laptop and phone. It’s just as comfortable to sit up in the T-P, as it is to lie down.
Tempur-Pedic is inexpensive, well made and most comfortable.
Great Sleep
Positive Durable, clean, allergen free
Cons: Expensive, sometimes warm.
I had an original for one year. For the first few weeks, there was a slight chemical smell and stiffness. Later it was fine. The mattress can be warmer than most, but that can be resolved with purchasing 500ct 100% cotton sheets. I purchased it for my shoulder pains and I longer have them. I also had sleep issues, but that was not the bed’s fault, but my own for worrying too much about everything. At the end I hope it last the 20 years they tell us, and I hope I’m not like the reviewer who threw his out after 4 years. Most mattresses last 8. In addition, my wife loves it. You should also purchase the Tempur pillows. I would have purchased the deluxe model which was less firm, but due to the price and my wife’s preference, I chose the original, which is fine too.
Tempurpedic
Positive awesome support for ANY sleeping position
Cons: expensive, can get humid in very hot weather, despite “new pad technology”
If this isn’t the best $2K I have ever spent, I don’t know what is! Expensive, yes, but you float like you really are weightless. Takes a few days to get used to but once you are it’s hard to see why anyone would be on a conventional mattress. Cleared up my honey’s back & neck pain and even REDUCED his snoring. (Says a silent ‘yaaaaaaaaay!’) Seriously, I would rather stay at home on holiday weekends then go pay a lot of money for a hotel mattress. It’s like I’m constantly in a 5-star hotel, except I have to do the laundry. Buy one. Seriously!
Not living up to expectations
Positive I really cannot think of any.
Cons: It is cold, hard and uncomfortable. Back pain worse than ever
I purchased this 15 cm. mattress at a local store having been taken in by the advertising blurb. After a week of sleepless nights, I returned to the store and asked for their help. Lots of words but no action. Told to keep on trying for period of at least a month. This mattress was expensive and to be told that I could expect little sleep for up to a month must rank as one of the most stupid statements ever. I have now had it for over 5 weeks and there is no improvement
Rather that reduce the pain in my lower back it has got worse.
I note that Tempur have also got two other mattresses in their range, both of which they claim to be more comfortable. I have offered to pay the extra and get one of these but have been told that it would not be possible to get Tempur to agree the exchange. This seems like a small price to pay to have a satisfied customer, as reviews like this can hardly help to sell more mattresses.

Hurts my back! No refund from Brookstone!
Positive Comfortable for side-sleeping
Cons: Uncomfortable for all other positions and Brookstone sucks
For the first few weeks, the mattress seemed very comfortable. I tend to sleep on my side or on my back. Now, after 90+ days, sleeping on my side is still comfortable, but sleeping on my back is almost unbearable. I am a fit 225 lb. male with no prior history of back pain. I think the problem with sleeping on my back is that the mattress tends to support areas in inverse relation to the weight of the area. Since the bulk of my weight is around my hips, thighs, and midsection, that’s where the mattress supports me the least. Consequently, that is where my body — at least when lying on my back — sags the most while on the mattress. Given that I’ve owned the mattress a few days over 90, Brookstone will not give me a dime back for it despite the fact that they advertise a “complete satisfaction” guarantee for the life of all their products. BOTTOM LINE: Avoid this mattress if you are a heavy (i.e. +200 lb.) person, and especially avoid purchasing products from Brookstone.
Incompatibility with hemiplegia
Positive See review
Cons: See review
Although the Tempur Pedic mattresses might be excellent for healthy indiduals. They are absolutely useless for individuals who have suffered a stroke. Given a stroke victims inability to sleep on his side because of total paralysis of the left arm and leg or right arm and leg. They are confined to sleep on their backs. After a 5 or 6 hour sleep period. The stroke victim emerges from a non restfull sleep comparable to sleeping on a box spring or concrete floor. A coil mattress is much more preferable for stroke victims. No amount of mattress padding will circumvent this physiological reality that resembles rigor mortis.
Tempur-Pedic - Did NOT last - NOT worth the money!
Positive Great for the first four years.
Cons: Rock hard in a cool room.
Back aches, morning stiffness after four years of use.
For the first four years that I owned the mattress, I loved it. I am now six months into the fifth year and I am very disappointed. We just purchased a new bed to replace the tempurpedic - a four and one-half year old Tempur-Pedic. Unbelievable.
Another downside to the mattress is that an average couple cannot rotate the mattress as is recommended by the company. The mattress is EXTREMELY heavy. I am a 6′4″ tall male who wieghs 225 pounds and I have difficulty rotating the mattress. Forget trying to move it all. To throw the Tempur-Pedic in the trash - where it belongs, my wife and I had to bend the mattress in half and use a 2×4 slid through the mattress just below the bend. Otherwise, togehter we could not lift the mattress to carry it - it is just too heavy.
The warranty is worthless without the orignal receipt.
The customer service manager was a jerk when I spoke to him - an unprofessional talking-head.
Don’t waste your money on this piece of junk.
