Hello Pete,
Could you please advise me?
I currently have a slumberland pocket spring hampton pillow top mattress with visco-flex purchased july 08.
I'm not unhappy with it. But recently, I slept on a Tempurpedic mattress.
It was only for a few nights, but I found I had less aches and pains when rising.
I have several medical conditions - multiple sclerosis and sjogren's.
The latter has joint pain associated with the condition.
I am looking at a second hand bed on ebay, mattress and base combined.
The ad does not state the model or type, just "Tempurpedic".
Considering money is an issue is it a worthwhile exercise to change to a Tempurpedic mattress, in your opinion.
I would value your advice and assistance.
Thank you, Leanne
Hi Leanne,
There are just too many complaints about memory foam for me to recommend it.
Initial complaints are about sleeping hot, a horrible odor, and negative physical reactions...including rash and respiratory problems from the off gassing of all the toxic chemicals used to make it.
Those who are able to get passed all that, complain a year or so later when the memory foam loses its support.
Any new mattress will, likely, feel better than your 11 year old one.
But a new memory foam mattress won't feel like new only months after purchase.
If all you need is a bit more comfort, I suggest adding a latex topper to what you have.
And since you are not unhappy with what you have, it's better made than any Tempurpedic mattress.
Get yourself a Pure Bliss 2" or 3" Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper.
The 2" is good. The 3" is more comfortable.

VERY IMPORTANT:
Keeping your mattress clean and dry will increase longevity.
Use our Organic Cotton Waterproof Mattress Protector.

Thanks, Pete
