My Tempurpedic Mattress is killing me!

Hi Pete,

My present mattress, a Tempurepedic, is killing me.  I am in my ninth year with Parkinson's disease and I am 5'7, 275lbs.  My husband is 6'2, 240 pounds.  

When I first got the tempurepedic, I loved it. I was having trouble with bulging discs and bursitis of the hip.  

Now as my PD progresses I feel like the mattress is swallowing me.  I have great difficulty turning over.  I sink into the mattress and can't get myself out.  

When I sit on the side of the bed, it sinks in and I am afraid I am going to fall.  

What mattress would you recommend?  
Thanks so much!!!

Debra

Hi Debra,

Your problem is a common one, experienced by Tempurpedic owners.

The problems are caused by the temperature sensitive memory foam on top.

There isn't a lot of memory foam and what little there is, is supported by a block of high density poly foam, which is not temperature sensitive.

You can eliminate some of your problems, by simply flipping your mattress over.

The underside is firmer and doesn't sink.

Do that tonight and see how it feels.

Chances are, that it'll be too firm to sleep on comfortably, but will provide you with adequate support.

All you need do, is add a latex topper to the flip side of your mattress, and you should be good to go for a number of years more.

The topper to get, is the Ever-Eden 3" soft Vytex Dunlop latex, shown here:

Latex is all natural and, by far, superior to the chemical laden memory foam that's on top of your mattress.

Hi Steve,
Great Rant! One of the best I’ve read.
It’s hard for me to blame you for the poor choice you made.
The amount of advertising hype surrounding memory foam mattresses is extraordinarily pervasive.
Suffice it to say that memory foam is the absolute worst upholstery material ever invented…specifically designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing.
It sleeps hot and off gasses the toxic chemicals from which memory foam is made.

What’s more, no all foam mattress is right to address chronic back pain.
Even an all latex foam, mattress, which is the best of all the upholstery materials, by far, will only make disc related back problems worse.
What you need is an individually pocketed coil unit with no memory foam upholstery.
This coil system provides contouring upward support that maintains the natural alignment of the body and spine.

I will sometimes recommend flipping a memory foam mattress over and adding a latex topper to minimize the financial impact of an overpriced Tempurpedic.
This trick works well for many, providing another 5 years of use, on average.
However, this particular trick won’t work for you.

Your Tempurpedic foundation doesn’t need to be replaced, just th mattress.
I’m recommending the same mattress my wife and I sleep on at home.
The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush.
We’ve had ours for 8 years and it’s still in like new condition, with each of us weighing more than 200 lbs.
What’s more, I sleep and wake without back pain, despite having several severe disc related back problems.

I bought a Tempurpedic because of a bad back I've had it almost a year now my back is hurting more than ever. It started hurting after i bought this piece of **** now im reading flip it ,turn my heat up, put topper on it. Bull**** I've also been told to jump on it to soften it. Well im going to take it outside and run my truck over it maybe that will work. And im very seriously going to run it over if that doesn't work ill just throw it out.
