Got a new temperpedic, it's da bomb.

trying to think of a time when SD gave bad advice on a consumer product (vacations, thermostats, etc) but I'm stumped.
I have a 22 year old temperpedic. Still sleep great on it.

I sleep incredibly hot and mrs. dave incredibly cold. so I bought this thing

https://www.chilitechnology.com/products/ooler-sleep-system

and, folks, it rules. It keeps me at the perfect temperature all night. cannot recommend enough. Before I would toss and turn a lot to adjust and now I just sleep through the entire night and I feel more rested.

I’ve looked at getting one of these.  Do you hear it?  Do you notice a difference laying on it? Most worried about the sound though

Sound is very soothing to me. Like a soft fan. You c an adjust it to be quieter but it will take it longer to cool down. We leave it at the standard setting because it has a nice white noise. Don’t feel it other than that it’s obviously cooler below me.

I've been looking at that system since December 'sd. I'm like lava level sleeper, but I love big huge blankets too. This seems it could be best of both worlds. I keep hearing great reviews from reputable people, the 'sd stamp of approval might put me over the top.

i want to buy a new coffee machine too, but that's not too big for moving.  just kinda feels wasteful to stop using the one i have.

Do recommend the Casper mattress
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

I have a fool proof mattress strategy that my family has used for years.  We go to Nebraska furniture mart and lay on a bunch of them and then buy the one that feels the best.  This hasn't failed yet!

I hope you don't need a new mattress before you can all get microchip'd.

Your mattress buying strategy and tv buying strategies line up nicely with my own.

Edit: I know that doesn’t line up with the Casper recommendo, but my personal strategy is trumped by the do-nothing-and-sleep-on-whatever-my-wife-orders-off-the-internet strategy.

I had the same issue.  Years ago I bought a Tempur-Pedic mattress and it was very stiff.  I thought that sleeping on it over time would soften it, but it stayed hard and was very hot to lay on in one position.  I gave up and put it in the guess room and decided to once again shop by laying on several.  The one I picked turned out to be great.   It was a Beautyrest Black and on sale, so it turned out to be less than the Tempur-Pedic mattress. 
Hot time in Kat town tonight.

Bought one of these for the kid's room. I've slept on it a few times. Quality sleep had. Kid seems to like it when she visits.

I am getting an 8Sleep Pod Pro Cover cover to replace this. Not because the ooler doesn't rule because it for sure does and has changed my sleep dramatically for the better. but because mrs. dave wants one on her side to warm the bed up before cooling it off and I don't want two separate units. I'm probably going to just put the ooler in a box and pack it for travel. also the 8sleep has a bunch of sleep monitoring stuff and more advanced features. I'll review this thing in like a month. Not supposed to be here until end of Sep anyway.

You know what helps me sleep at night?  Knowing I don't need to pay $2000 for a rough ridin' mattress pad.

Interesting. I am an idiot and bought a Casper mattress last year and sweat my ass off all night. We are prob just going to junk it and get something else, but the chill thing seems to be an option. Pricey, but a bit cheaper than a new mattress I guess.

It is fairly comfy, but yeah, its pretty hot. Its really hot with anything "abnormal" like being a bit sick or having a few drinks. I typically wake up in a pool of sweat on the weekends.
