myenemy 0 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 I am having pain all over my back. It used to be localized in my lower back but now I pretty much have it everywhere. Can anyone recommend a mattress? I am thinking of one of those tempur-pedics, any consensus? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
GWCGWC 83 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Oddly enough, I'm at work waiting for someone just like you to come into my mattress store.I sleep on the Deluxe Tempurpedic and I highly recommend it. It won't solve any actual medical conditions like a herniated disc, but it won't make it worse.How old is your current mattress? Link to post Share on other sites

Is this the one you mean?http://www.rockawaybedding.com/store/produ...;products_id=72What can I expect to pay for a queen? Also since its foam, is it bad for sex? An important issue. examine your pillows, too. i had back pain for a few weeks that i tracked back to slightly aged pillows. knew ones & the pain went away.Yeah I think it may have something to do with that as well. I switched to much thinner pillows but still think I need new ones. Link to post Share on other sites

You should expect to get over 20yrs out of the tempurpedic.The link shows the deluxe. It's $2399 for the deluxe queen set. Tempurpedic is price protected so they will be the same price any where in the country. You can find the some comfort returns for less on ebay but they have been used no matter what the seller claims. It's better for sex. Pillows are essential to getting a good nights sleep. Where ever you decide to buy from should include 2 tempurpedic pillows and the place should fit you for the correct pillows. This will have to do with how you sleep (side, back, stomach) and your body type. Base your pillow on your position when you first go to sleep. This will be your dominant sleeping position that you will spend the majority of the night in. You want to make sure your head is aligned with your spine so that you don't put any stress in the muscles of your neck. Go into a store that sells Tempurpedic and lay down on the Classic, Deluxe and the Rhapsody to see which one feels better to you. This type of mattress is completely different than a traditional inner spring so it will take some time to get used to. I can actually sell you the mattress set and have it dropped shipped anywhere in the US, but you may feel more comfortable dealing with a local store.If you go to a store to check out the mattresses and a salesperson tells you something that doesn't make sense, remember the question/answer and let me know. There is a lot of misinformation that gets bantered about in the mattress industry which sucks balls for the honest joe's like me. Link to post Share on other sites

I'll let you know what price they tell me and any other info, and be sure to right it down for models and crap and get back to you. I heard that that price protected stuff is balony (hahaha, look how I spelled Bologna. I'll leave it.) and that you actually can get a better deal. Anyway Im in Brooklyn so I expect that any salesman is trying to f*ck me. Thanks so much for your help, back pain is agony and if this is the answer to my problems I owe you a huge one.

You can go to bed bath and beyond or Linens and things to find a relatively decent one. We don't sell them or you'd be getting one on the cheap.

The other dealers make it a self policing system and I assure you that if a store is selling it for less, they won't be doing if for long before they lose their dealership. It's simply not worth the risk to make a few sales and lose the ability to sell this product. Some retailers will sell the comfort returns for less or they use a non-Tempurpedic foundation. Selling a comfort exchange for less is within the dealer agreement but the retailer will take on the liability of any health issues associated in selling a used mattress. Using a non-Tempur foundation to reduce the price is against the dealer agreement and will result in losing the product line. Link to post Share on other sites

Your parents must be so proud! j/k.....reallyI looked at the Tempurpedic and threw up in my mouth a little when I saw the price. And I'm cheap so you can figure out how that worked out.I live in Spokane, WA and ended up with the "Davenport Pillow top" Mattress from Northwest bedding (which is the manufacturer also). The Davenport is a very old, very pricey (for here) recently refurbished hotel here and they use this mattress in all their rooms.The most comfortable mattress I have every slept/screwed on.Carry on.

MJINK3 0 Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 I used to sell them also. They are price protected. One thing you can do is make sure they give you a free pillow. I also have the deluxe tempurpedic. I love it. Of course I got it at employee cost which doesn't hurt. Link to post Share on other sites
Balloon guy 158 Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 I got the tempurpedic California King, quite expensive, but very comfortable.But it is warmer than a regular bad, which is either good or bad depnding on you. Link to post Share on other sites
