Hi Candace and Richard,
Memory foam...the main product in a Tempurpedic and introduced by Tempurpedic about 20 years ago, has proven itself to be the absolute worst upholstery material ever invented for this purpose.
You bought into the sales hype and all the BS that the salespeople spew.
Memory foam is the only upholstery material that is temperature sensitive. This means that as it warms from the body heat you give off, it softens and you sink into it.
It takes your body's heat and reflects it back to you, making you hot. And, the loss of support from softening is terrible for anyone with a pre-existing back problem.
If you have a back problem, of which you are unaware, memory foam will make you aware of it.
If you don't have a back problem and sleep on memory foam long enough, you will develop a back problem.
And, as if all that weren't bad enough, there's more. Memory foam consists of 61 different chemicals...some of which, are toxic.
It off gasses the toxic chemicals from which it's made and presents a health hazard to every living being in your home.
Headache is the most common negative side effect of this. It also attacks your respiratory system...terrible for anyone with asthma, or any other sort of breathing problem.
The worst negative side effect, that I've had reported to me, is bleeding sinuses.
My recommendation is to get rid of it, as it is nothing more than expensive junk, and stay away from memory foam all together.
Your sister-in-law bought a latex mattress.
Latex is and has been thee best upholstery material for the last 100 years....most comfortable, most supportive, longest lasting and 100% safe...safe enough for a baby to ingest.
The Pure Bliss is Natural Talalay Latex. "Natural" being a term used for blended latex...30% natural and 70% synthetic.
Synthetic latex is a molecular clone of all natural latex and is used to maintain a consistent final result.
"All Natural" latex is 100% latex. And as with other natural products, there is some slight variation in the way each batch feels....or looks, if you're talking about grains of wood for the same type of tree...for instance.
The only latex to be careful not to buy, are those imported from China....known for adding clay, which can still be called all natural, but reduces the comfort and durability of the latex.
THIS, is where you get cheap latex. Latex, otherwise, is expensive because it's expensive to make...as opposed to memory foam, which is cheap to make and expensive to hype...which is what you paid for.
Latex sleeps cool. It's made in a mold with lots of pins. The end result in the finished product are holes where the pins had been. These holes channel your body heat away from you.
We do not and will not sell memory foam mattresses. Instead, we carry a number of line of latex mattress...Including Pure Talalay Bliss...and hybrid mattresses with coils upholstered with latex.

All of our bodies go through a nightly ritual of heating up and cooling down.
The last thing you need is memory foam to exacerbate that.
And, you must, or should, protect your mattress from your body's perspiration with a waterproof mattress protector.
The stains created from your perspiration will void the warranty of the mattress, and cause the upholstery materials to wear pre-maturely.
The problem with many on the market, is that they sleep hot...especially the ones with the terry cloth tops.
Also, they tend to make that plasticy crinkly sound...which can be rather annoying.
The one we carry is from a Danish company...all natural, sleeps cool, makes no sound, and won't shrink when repeated washed in hot water.
We tested this and use it at home.
Here's the link for that.
