Are the Sleep Number beds or Tempur-Pedic beds worth the money?

If not what brands and the best for the money?

sleep number beds are for rubes

quality brand memory foam mattresses are well worth the money

TempurPedic is fantastic.

Wonderful.

Def worth it.

Count me as a rube that loves his sleep number bed. Chiropractor told me that he had customer who loved both, but never had anyone say they didn't love the sleep number bed. He said that he has had some clients who did not like memory foam.

I've heard that memory foam get's hot and doesn't breathe well. True or false?

I found out a couple weeks ago that the mattress I'd been using for the last year (that I got rid of when I moved), belonged to my brother in law's >60 year old father when he was in school.

Super weirded out when I found out about that.

this, even if you don't get a memory foam get a good mattress; it's well worth it

I cheaped out and bought a crappy one sided pillow top. WTF was I thinking? Ive had it for like a year and I sleep terribly because of it. I swear I can actually feel one of the springs poking me in the back. It reminds me of that Adam Sandler song Piece of crap Car only its a mattress and the spring doesnt poke me in the balls. Oh, eff you bed.

OK_Cat · « **Reply #17 on:** August 28, 2012, 09:32:48 PM »

no matter what mattress you get, get a california king size. more room to sprawl out.

_33 · « **Reply #18 on:** August 28, 2012, 09:44:01 PM »

I just have a normal pillow top mattress and I sleep great. But I fall asleep in the shower a lot so I can sleep pretty much anywhere.

pissclams · « **Reply #19 on:** August 28, 2012, 10:35:02 PM »

My couch is stupid comfy and I would love to sleep on it but it was expensive so I can't. I'm weird about spending money.

hemmy · « **Reply #23 on:** August 28, 2012, 11:12:03 PM »

Is the beauty rest system thingy better than standard memory foam mattress? The commercials are pretty convincing.
