Tempur-pedic or sleep number bed?

Do you have one of these beds? Which is the better one, and is in necessary to buy the foundation? Do they really help with back pain? Tell me anything you can about either one. Thanks

Just be aware that anything with memory foam on it will sleep 'hot'--as it holds in body heat. So you may wind up waking more than usual, to kick off the covers and cool off.

If you can find a hotel with one of these beds in it, then I'd spend a night on one first.

I found the best way to deal with memory foam is to put a cotton mattress pad under the sheet. No "hot" mattress for me. I vote for the memory foam. Had a TempurPedic and found it to be too heavy literally for me to move around. I now use memory foam and have 3 pieces that are 4" each piece. Even singly they are heavy to move around.

I took your advice after trying the sleep number bed 9000 series. It didn't work for me and after the 30 trial so I returned it but it cost me $150... I'm not to happy about that. After reading this post, I found the zero gravity bed.

Its been about 30 nights of trying the Malibu model... its like 10 times the bed than any sleep number. I had to assemble both the sleep number and the zerogravity models so I could understand what the gentleman above was talking about.

Without a doubt don't waste your time or money on a sleep number bed. I thought is was my only option since all I see at night is the sleep number commercial.

This bed is kinda like a hybrid between the tempurpedic and sleep number bed and it doesn't get hot like a tempurpedic because it has a breathable layer with wool.

I wonder if you can buy stock in this company?

I think it's a matter of personal preference whether you go with Tempurpedic or sleep number bed . They both have great features and great warranties..

We ordered a zero gravity bed based on the research that we did. It took about a month to receive and the box spring never showed up. I have tried many times to contact the company only to find out that they have gone out of business. I guess they went out of business after shipping our bed.. so we get no trial period with it.. we are stuck with it. A $2000 lesson to be learned.

Are you for sure the ZeroGravityBeds went out of business? They haven't answered the phone in a few days so I was afraid something happened.

I found some memory foam that does not get "hot" like the tempurpedic stuff did. Now I just put my sheet directly on top of the foam and sleep like a rock - or however rocks sleep.

I'm in the uk so it's called something different here, it's the one if you have a bad back.....i had a back problem....

Very good for the back, but mine is like sleeping on the floor it's so hard, however it does work on the back.If you backs killing you when you go to bed, in the morning it's much better.
