WatchYourStep 0 #1 April 29, 2014 My wife and I are getting ready to buy a new bed. We've gone a couple of different times to the stores and have spent 30-40 minutes on each mattress each time. We keep coming back to the Tempurpedics. One concern I've read in some reviews is that they can get very hot. Do any of you have a Tempurpedic and if so do you find it sleeps hotter than normal beds? Thanks "You start off your skydiving career with a bag full of luck and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill the bag of experience up before your bag of luck runs out."

LuckyMcSwervy 0 #2 April 29, 2014 YES. You just solved a mystery. My exBF had a really awesome Tempurpedic bed. It was a very firm style but I would die of heat on it at night, always throwing my legs outside the blankets. I chalked it up to the heat of 2 bodies but when we were at my house it was never oven-like. It was the damn mattress. Always be kinder than you feel.

oldwomanc6 60 #3 April 29, 2014 I've had one for about ten years, and it is the most comfortable mattress I have ever slept on, but it does start out cold and hard and before morning, it gets hot. From what I understand, the newer ones have mostly solved that with some sort of "cool technology" that prevents that heat build-up.lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewGuy2005 53 #4 April 29, 2014 We've had one for over 10 years. It's one of the originals when (I think) there was only one choice. Seriously, this is one of the best things I've ever owned. It is hotter than a regular mattress, but you just use fewer blankets. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GD64 1 #5 April 29, 2014 I have one including the pillows, and would do again. Like others have said they are warmer. I am warm when I sleep, and I think most females are cold (naturally),especially feet and hands. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BIGUN 1,424 #6 April 29, 2014 One of my prohibiting factors in purchasing one is that a lot of the reviews I've read talk about foam memory loss after three years. Have you had an issue with that?Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have you had an issue with that? That does happen to a degree, but it has not made it any less comfortable. My biggest complaint is that it weighs a ton and is very awkward to handle.

I wish I would've realized this a few years ago. I would've asked him to lower the heat and take one of the blankets from the bed.

normiss 858 #18 April 30, 2014 We have one Tempurpedic, it's awesome! Yes, it gets hot though. We also have a Sealy iComfort foam mattress that is also awesome and not hot. The couch works pretty well too. IMO, I hated the Sleep Number bed. I could not get comfortable on it at any setting and the ridge between the two sides makes me avoid the middle of the bed. And Swervy...hot flashes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a sleep number bed and the best thing I did for it was put a 3" memory foam topper on it. Guess that's a pretty good endorsement for the memory foam beds over the sleep number ones! - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkymonkeyONE 4 #23 April 30, 2014 I've got one and like everyone else has said, yes, it gets hot. I very-rarely sleep under a real blanket on it. It's a very comfortable mattress, but it has NOT stopped me from rolling around in the bed like I did on a "normal" mattress. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rick 67 #24 April 30, 2014 we have had ours for a few years and my wife and I both love it. she has back issues and the foam mattresses are the only ones she can sleep on and not wake up sore. After 3 years it does not have any sagging in the foam. We ended up buying one for the spare room also and a cheaper foam mattress for the motor home I saw the new gel Tempurpedic and they are supposed to be a lot cooler then the original but I really do not have an issue with it being to hot Oh yeah they are freaking heavyYou can't be drunk all day if you don't start early!
