What type of mattress do you have?

If I was TOTALLY wiped, I'd sleep, but that was about it. Then I got a tempurpedic mattress. The difference is incredible. Perfect support on all aspects of my body, good temp control. I stopped rolling looking for a comfy position, simply falling back was good enough, and sleep is easy. No more generalised body pain in the morning.

Initial feel is good, warm, supportive, but: My hips and lower back start to fall apart, there is not enough support as compared to the rest of me, and I end up tossing and turning after about 20 minutes.

Of course I get (very mild) lower back pain around 10 hours in any bed - but it's very rare I get to stay in bed that long.

How do we know he really did, or one of the cheap rip-offs? And if it was, maybe it is related to size and body type? Either way, go hang out at a store for a couple of hours. Kick back, read a book, relax. But give it a while, it is worth it to find out whether is suits you.
