this bed cost more than my new car..so it had to be the best

after a while i noticed my body would find the impression that was always there night after night. I rotated the bed by myself, which made my back hurt even worse. when I bought the bed I stressed to the salesman MARK at the Missoula tempurpedic store that my back was bad and he said "this bed was what I needed". I am very disappointed in tempurpedic and 3,000 dollars I WASTED!

Bad bed or not right for me?

This was too firm for me when purchased but part of a compromise. The first year was not too bad. My 5'6" 140 lb partner loved it. At the time I was 5'3" and 180 lbs. After that first year I began to have very bad lower back pain if I was in the bed for more than 7 hours. By the end of the second year I was also having severe shoulder, arm, and hand pain. If I ever slept more than 8 hours my entire body would ache. I ended up spending most of my nights sleeping on my couch. I am looking for a new bed now and hope that I can find something that does not cause me as much pain.

Worn out after 2 years. Back Pain.

We bought the Rhapsody Luxe Cali King 6 years ago for about 3800 including yhe Temputpedic Foundation. At first it was ok, except for the smell and the fact that it is quite warm. We knew this going in so I wont complain about it except that it is actually quite hot in summer. After 3 years it got really soft in the areas where most body weight is supported. We turned it every 6 months which by the way is a back breaking job in itself. 4 years in I could not sleep through the night anymore as I have to turn every 2-3 hours because it is so soft like sleeping in a hammock. I am not exaggerating. I got serious lower back pain- never had this before. Physioyherapist showed me exercises but every morning I feel horrible. At first I was in denial due to the fact that I spent so much money but after 5 years it got obvious and I cant deny it anymore. The mattress is complete mush where our hips and shoulders rest. To turn you literally have to dig yourself out. The problem is that Tempurpedics warranty makes you measure depth of impressions. That does not take into account the softness. Point in case: I can push with my hand easy 8 inches down in center where my hip rests. In other areas I push down 1 inch with the same force. 6 years in I try the warranty process again. They make you jump through hoops but I did it all, many pictures, proof of purchase, measurements, hours on the phone. It got approved and I will get a replacement- they say.

Goodbye Back Pain

I have been in multiple car accidents and I have a condition called Ehlers-Danlos syndrome which keeps me in low to mid grade chronic pain in my pelvis and lower back. Sometimes my neck and upper back as well. I bought this mattress new at a liquidation store so I got it for half off right under $2000. I was 23 when I bought it and I think it was probably my first big purchase LOL. I had to do payments. I've had the bed for 3 1/2 years now and if my house catches on fire this bed is the first thing I'm rescuing. It is so comfortable and delightful to sleep on. I have a queen and it's very comfortable to share with a partner or sleep alone. My bed shows no signs of aging. No dips or bumps or anything. I would recommend this bed to anyone with pain or chronic pain. It's an expensive mattress but it's well worth the money. Thank you TEMPUR-Pedic

Ahhh to ooh!

It was heavenly in the beginning. It was more than a honeymoon, that bed felt firm yet supple for a three years. Lately it's been a lot less supportive. A bed's support should outlast it's payment cycle. I admit, that I am hard to please due to back problems and a surgery. That's why I went with temper-pedic and paid the premium price. Now I starting to feel let down. My parents temput-pedic is 2 years older than mine and still nice and firm. Whats wrong with my contour elite?

Way to soft...

We bought this mattress from Mattress and they really miss led us about this mattress. Our original mattress was a Tempur-Pedic Celebrity which is was very firm and we loved it. We bought this because the store manager told us it was the firmest Tempur-Pedic currently had (which we now know was false). We then went back last week and they no longer carry Tempur-Pedic so we went to Mattress Warehouse and they had a great selection. We purchased a new king size Tempur-Pedic Pro Adapt model 143573 and we love it. Very firm and even more comfortable than the Celebrity we used to have !!

Warranty

When I purchased this mattress it was under LIFE TIME warranty. I have tried to file a claim after less than 1 year of having the mattress and they kept making up excuses as to what I WAS DOING wrong. Here I am 5 plus yrs into it and I cannot get out of the bed because it feels as if I have sunken to the floor. I called again to have someone to come and look at the mattress to see what was going on and they said they do not do this anymore. Try these tests and take pictures and send them to us. So I did... They said it was NOT BAD ENOUGH TO REPLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just recently called again and told them I had to go to BED BATH and Beyond to purchase a foam thinner mattress to place on top of my bed so I can get out of it. The warranty Dept told me this time they would have someone come over to take a look at it....no phone calls as of yet. So so very frustrated with this mattress I cannot see straight. I really hope they follow through this time. I will keep you posted. Sue whos back hurts all of the time. I weigh 115lbs.

If you want to throw thousands away, this is the bed for you

Integrity of mattress broken and Tempur-Pedic has done nothing

Got Softer in time

I love the tempur pedic bed. The cool breeze is a beautiful feature and for me it works. However the mattress kind of softened a bit. I was told that I sink in more in time but wasn't expecting this much this short ( couple of months) regardless. I love the bed

Not a happy sleeper.

I really expected more from this mattress. I have not been happy with it since I bought it. The salesperson suggested that over time my body would adapt to the technology. Almost a year later and I still feel the same as the first night. It does not cool my body nor does it contour to it. I feel pressure points whichever way I lay. I get up during the night and sit up from tossing and turning so often. I am beyond frustrated at this point.
