I am a retired airline pilot who for the past 35 years has spent an average of ten nights a month on mattresses from every corner of the world. I therefore consider myself somewhat of an expert on this subject - at least on what feels good to me.
My ten year old mattress was starting to break down, so based on advertising claims and the recommendation of a highly respected colleague, I purchased a Tempurpedic “Classic” 8″ Cal King. This product was very expensive which perhaps increased my expectations.
Because the Tempurpedic needs to rest on a solid, flat surface, the dealer suggested that I keep my box springs and simply add a “bunky board” beneath the mattress. This was a neat arrangement which made it easy to change from a standard mattress.
Tempurpedic products are starting to show up in better mattress stores on the West Coast and since the price seems to be fairly fixed, I decided to purchase the mattress locally and save the transportation cost. I was impressed with the quality of the product, the knowledge of the sales person and the service I received before and after the sale.
The first night on my new Tempurpedic was wonderful! I don’t think I turned over once throughout the whole night. Unfortunately this “restful bliss” was short lived. Mid way through the first week, I realized that I was a little stiff each morning despite a regular exercise program. I had been told that this mattress required a little “getting used to,” so I didn’t give it much thought.
By the end of the second week however, my “stiffness” had become so pronounced that it was actually painful to get out of bed in the morning. I noticed also that I was getting only about five hours of “good” sleep each night, followed by a couple hours of tossing and turning. By the end of the third week, I had developed an almost continuous pain in my lower back and it was now taking a half a day to recover from the stiffness I was experiencing each morning.
Because everyone I had talked with who had a Tempurpedic had nothing but praise for it, I began to think that maybe there was something wrong with me. I even considered a visit to my doctor. Instead, I started sleeping in the guest room. After three nights on a queen sized Simmons Beautyrest, my aches and pain was almost gone. This convinced me that the Tempurpedic was the problem. Fortunately, my dealer agreed to exchange the Tempurpedic for any other mattress I wanted and refund the price difference. This turned out to be a major advantage of having bought it from a reputable dealer and not from the factory.
I am really disappointed with my experience because I really wanted to like this mattress. In retrospect, I think it was simply too soft. Upon first laying down, the feeling was wonderful. But as my body heat warmed the material, it became softer. Once my pain began, I started paying more attention to the mattress. I found that by morning, the area directly under my body was much softer than the area where no one had been sleeping. This softness is what I think was causing my back pain. I have always slept on a firm mattress.
I don’t think it would be fair to overly criticize this product because there are too many other people who like it. For me however, the Tempurpedic was totally unsatisfactory.
