I went thru the same dilemna about a year ago.  I got so many opinions it confused me more.  Finally I met a saleslady who was a former nurse (like me), she convinced me finally (thick skull) that I need something soft to sleep on. She just about had me 100% convinced when she showed me one mattress set with a 50-50 split on the top….half was firm…half was plush.  This works good for me because if my shoulders or hips hurt, the plush side if best, if my back is bothering me, I prefer the firmer side. This is a queen-size, btw.  I also had tried out every mattress in the store by sitting on the edge to see which would collapse the least.  Well, the most expensive ones collapsed the most, to the dismay of the salesclerks, so fortunately I did not have to pay top dollar for my mattress.  I know people with the Tempurpedic and they say they like them, but they never say they love them or are crazy about them.  I can say that I do love my new mattress set. BTW, I have RA and fibro. Judy Wisconsin

Nann, It was the tempur-pedic and they even tell yo in the literature that the smell will be intense for a while.  I used all of my tricks including an indutrial ozone machine to outgass that thing and it still took forever.  When we get new eggcrates for the office we let them set for a month before we use them as we have a number of MCS people but this was way beyond that.  You wouldn’t even want it in the house with you for a while.  There is a topper product that my front house tenant has that is some kind of gel stuff that is so comfortable and was fairly inert when she got it.  I’ll find out what it is and let you know.

I also had a tempur-pedic before I got a select comfort.  I was so much happier with my select comfort.  They do have that 30 day trial period thing but the one thing I will tell you is that they have a very intense smell that takes months to outgas.  I actually had to keep mine in the garage for several months before the smell was tolerable.

Is this the tempur-pedic that had the outgassing problems? I’ve been thinking about getting a topper for our futon as this costo thing  has my ribs so tender that I often want more cushioning when I lie down. But with my allergies, outgassing could be a problem (and we have nowhere to air it out for now). Nann cut the Gator cheer to email me I like nonsense; it wakes up the brain cells. – Dr Seuss

I am sleeping on a Cuddle Ewe wool matress pad. It is costly close to $300 but I can tell a difference whn I sleep at MIL’s house. Even though she has very good matresses I miss my Cuddle Ewe. http://www.cuddleewe.com/ I do not work for the company nor do I get a kickback. There is a 90 day guarantee. I got mine back in October and have not regretted it at all. Kim W – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -I have tried spring, air, latex mattresses and none of them worked.

I had one and got rid of it for the air mattress.  I really need to be able to change the pressure several times each night. — DeLores Wilson
