The Tempurpedic® bed has only one advertised feature, which is a 3" layer of memory foam. This is not a unique feature. Memory foam is available in many mattress that cost hundreds less than the Tempur-pedic® Mattress.

The high selling price of the Tempur-pedic® bed islargely due to its advertising cost, which amounts to tens of millions of dollars annually: It adds hundreds to its price.

The Tempur-pedic® bed foundation and bed frame cost hunreds of dollars (about $500), butdo nothing more than support the mattress. They are space-wasters and dust collectors. Obviously, they are a very poor investment.

In our opinion, The Tempur-pedic® mattress is uncomfortably hot. This is due to the fact that sleepers are only separated from the memory foam by a thin layer of material. This close contact with the memory foam can cause heavy sweating. Also, due to the high density of the memory foam used, a sleeper's body shape becomes molded into the foam surface, making it more difficult to change sleeping positions (for example, to roll over). Furthermore, as the memory foam thins out (from your shape) at critical parts of your body, it forms pressure points. This happens because Tempur-pedic® is missing a very critical feature. Firmness of the Tempur-pedic® mattress is not individually adjustable. Therefore, its surface cannot be adjusted for a person's unique size, shape or weight. We believe being able to adjust the mattress firmness is essential to achieve minimum pressure points that cause discomfort and tossing and turning.
