To read the marketing material surrounding these beds one would think that this bed would be a cure-all. In fact the opposite is true. To clarify the core material which is utilized in "Swedish Foam" beds is not Proprietary to anyone manufacturer. It was developed by the space program and such remain public domain. As a result many companies have entered into the market selling swedish foam beds with little separating them other than the quantity of foam utilized. Tempurpedic is of course the most widely recognized name in this market. Being manufactured in Denmark and Sweden this company is the leader in sales of this bedding surface. The material has the consistency of bubblegum. And as such it reacts much the same way bubblegum would when encountering temperature changes. Abed and others will state that the bedroom should be maintained at a temperature of 60+ degrees. Ideally 65 degrees. Anything lower and the bed will become very stiff almost like wood. Even at room temp the bed is flexible but not soft. As your body heat transfer to the bedding surface the bed retains the heat and becomes significantly more pliable and supple. In short order it will conform to the contours of your body. Once your body sinks into the material it will reach a foundation layer of foam. This layer is not designed to conform as much as the surface layer. It is this layer which allows for some level of support. I found that the bed had a tendency to retain to much heat, and could make for a rather uncomfortable sleep. Also if you are an active sleeper you will likely find that the bed is slow to return to its original state when you move. Again this is a bit uncomfortable.

Important considerations: Abed and others are all selling the same type of foam material. Therefore many have elected to offer more foam as a selling point to purchase there beds. Temperpedic has a 2" layer of foam on top of a support foam. Anything more than this and you run the risk of literary sinking to far into the mattress before you reach the support layer. The result is less support than comparable beds with less of a foam layer. So beware of companies who offer more as a reason to pay less.

2: You really should try to lay on one before you purchase it. Like any mattress the initial impression is critical. If you don’t like it in the showroom I don’t believe that it’s going to "grow on you" at home. Many of these companies offer sleep trials but the freight is not refunded should you elect to return the bed. This comes to $150 gamble.

3: If your on the fence about this type of bed try the pillow first. It is much less expensive and has the same Characteristics as the bed. It may save you making a mistake regarding the bed.

4: Lastly, remember this bed works off your body heat. If you live in a warm climate or if you prefer a cold room when you sleep this bed may retain to much heat for comfort. And forget about jumping into bed if the room is cold at night. You may limp out with a broken hip. This bed is rock hard when allowed to get to cold.
