<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: New Comfort Technology
Tempur-Pedic™ beds are based on "memory foam" technology originally developed by NASA. The foam molds itself to your body when you lie down, offering comfortable support without pressure points, and many find the experience vastly superior to standard spring-coil mattresses.
On the Other: Cheaper Options, Adjustment Problems
Tempur-Pedic™ beds can be expensive and you can get some of the same effect by buying a cheaper mattress topper made from the same memory foam. Also, sleeping on memory foam can take some getting used to because of the cradling sensation as well as the foam's tendency to trap heat.
Bottom Line
As with any major purchase, your best bet is finding a retailer so you can check the comfort level for yourself. Tempur-Pedic™ beds can be fairly expensive, so you'll want to make sure you can get comfortable on one before making the commitment to purchase. While the company offers a money-back guarantee, you'll still have to pay for one-way shipping on the bed should you choose to return it.
