My husband and I are in the same position wanting a new bed and between the Temperpedic and Sleep Number. We previously had a 3" dense foam bed topper that we only had on the bed for a few nights and here's the reason why: when we first layed down on it it was rock hard due to the cold room temperature (maybe not a huge problem in Florida) and then as our bodies heated it up we sank VERY far into it and I found that I was not able to move or turn over without first grabbing on to my husband for leverage. Literally stuck in that position like I was in encased in packaging material or sinking in qucksand. We couldn't sell it so we cut it into dog beds. My husband is a big guy so we have concerns about the chambers in the Sleep Number not holding up. Anyone know about this? What about permanent dents that don't recover in the Temp. beds? I find myself trying to sleep in the very center of our King bed now to look for the only spot that hasn't sunken down yet and my wonderful husband indulges me by taking what's left on his edge. Our bed isn't that old, cost enough to expect more so we don't want to make a mistake again.
