Can I get some opinions on which of these mattresses is best. It is a big investment and I want to make the correct one.

I'm for tempurpedic. Had one for10 years. Can sleep for 4 hours in one position, no pressure points. In all fairness, I never slept on a sleep number but daughter has one and loves it. This reply doesn't help at all, does it?

Don't mean to rain on your parade but some say the sleep number is a "glorified air mattress". But who cares if it does the job! Don't have either....going to get a Sterns and Foster. Never had one of those either but heard they were good.

You'd have to fight me to get my Tempurpedic away from me... We've had it for 9 years. Had a problem with the 1st mattress and the company replaced it immediately. Best $$ you will spend. Buy the most you can afford.

We once had a Stearns and Foster and agree with you! When it got replaced...think the place that sold them was out of business so we didn't get another but I'd go for it if given the chance. Don't know about the two asked about in the post...though I've heard that foam doesn't "breath" and is hot!

I have to vote for the Relax in Comfort beds sold at LSL. We had a tempurpedic but I found the foam got too hot for me to sleep and be comfortable on. I love, love, love the bed that we purchased at Relax in Comfort. We have had it for 3 years and it is the best bed/mattress we have ever owned. My husband has problems with his sciatica and he sleeps like a baby. Best money we ever spent for sleeping. We have the king size adjustable bed and really worth every penny. Before you decide - you must go down there and try them out.

Purchased the Serta foam with the cooling gel layer. I have had neck, back and shoulder problems for years. All the diiscomfort is gone. I love the bed!

My vote is for sleep number for a very simple reason. I like a very soft mattress and my husband likes a very firm mattress. Other than twin beds our sleep number was the sensible solution. We've had ours for almost 9 years and love it. My husband used to wake up sore when we had a traditional mattress but that ended 9 years ago. Because of our glowing reports everyone in our family and most of our friends sleep on sleep number. I believe I did see that the new select comforts have memory foam pillow tops!

I put in a vote for Relax in Comfort, too. I have a different latex bed, a FloBed, but if I didn't have that one, the adjustable bed from Relax would be my choice.
My Flobed is a king with the capability of changing the latex layers to just the right comfort level.

Friends have Temp mattresses and love them. Personally, for me they're not comfortable and I find them a tad warm.

One day, put on your most comfortable, relaxed clothing, grab your pillow, and head to mattress stores. Hop into each bed you're considering and spend some time getting comfortable. If you and your spouse prefer different levels of firmness, then make sure you get something that allows each of you to attain the exact level of comfort you want....believe me, a very comfortable bed is worth each and every penny you spend...and alas, it might be lots and lots of pennies...

We've had a Tempurpedic for 5-10 years. We love it. I get the best sleep I've ever had and my back never hurts when I wake up in the morning (like it did with my old Serta. We went with the Tempurpedic because my wife has Osteoporosis and needs a great bed for her back.

I can't say anything about the 'Sleep number', but I really endorse the Tempurpedic.

[notlongnow]

I have slept on both and my vote is a Sleep number because the Tempurpedic seemed to hold the heat from my body in the mattress and I got hot.
The sleep number lets me change my mattress setting with the way I feel that week.
I love mine.

...Had a Temper-Pedic for 6 months.....did not like it, felt like it made you feel too warm.....
...gave it to my sister. She totally LOVES the Temper-Pedic.

...Then got a Sleep Number CLONE and loved it.....
...
...Now on the 3rd sleep number CLONE. The 1st two are still in service at kids' houses.

.....Never a problem.

HUH? was that a typo?

I have had a Tempurpedic for several years. I love it but it can get warm.

Of course up here where in winter you need chains to keep the bedsheets from flying of the bed with the windy NY winters it's a good thing.

We have heard rave reviews of Serta's I Comfort being as good as the Tempurpedic yet cooler to sleep on. Tried one in the store and felt it might be a mattress we buy.

Did try the Sleep number. I would go back to a Tempurpedic however I would never go back to anything with Coil Springs.
