Tempur Pedic worth the $

I was leary to spend 3K on a mattress, but after my coil spring purchase last year that developed a sink spot where I laid, I decided I was going to add the additional money to get the Tempur-Pedic. The first couple weeks was akward, the bed was not as soft in the store, it smelt kind odd, and I was worried that I wouldn't like my 3K dollar investement. Within 4 weeks (just like they said) the bed had turned into the most fantasic mattress, fully soft in every way, while supporting every square inch of your body. I began to awake in the morning and literally asking myself why isn't my back hurting? I was so used to having upper shoulder/back pain my entire life and it isn't there anymore. It also confused me at times when I would go to sleep on my back and the next morning awaken in the same position! -I am not a back sleeper traditionally- Now that I have had this mattress for 4 months, I can't imagine ever having to go back to a coil/spring mattress.
