We are looking to buy a mattress and my wife wants a tempur-pedic mattress. I have to admit it feels really great but the only downside is we can only afford the lower end model (Advantage). There are also a lot of claims that you can buy the same bed (just without the brand) for half the cost; such as bob-o-pedic, costco nova, the list goes on. What is your take on this?
I bought a mattress from NovosBed (at a promotional event). Extremely comfortable, with basically the same build as a Tempur-Pedic. Can’t believe those guys charge so much for their mattresses. Anyway, my NovosBed is fantastic. I’ve put a link in my profile, but you can always go to http://www.novosbed.com to see them.
They off-gas (smell) for up to a month, noticeably, and far longer than that in reality.
Visco-elastic foam is temperature sensitive–so the mattress is very different depending on the ambient room temp and as your body warms up the foam.
I could almost live with the above, but the reality is that many people including myself find them hot and sweaty.
Your results may vary.
We tested the Tempurpedic at Sleepy’s but found the 2k price tag rather steep. On a whim, we purchased a similar (I believe it was non-branded) mattress on Overstock.com for around $300. That was more than a year ago and we are still very happy with the mattress – it is extremely comfortable (we both have bad backs) and best of all you don’t feel any movement if your partner is tossing and turning on his/ her side.
I have a tempur-pedic mattress and love it. It’s been about 8 years old now and it’s still like new.
A friend purchased an off-brand, low end tempur-pedic and had to return it due to a bad, obnoxious plastic smell that would not dissipate.
If you must buy an off-brand, make sure there is a return policy in the event you don’t like it.
Well, I have a conventional innerspring mattress, but I LOVE that bob-o-pedic name 🙂
I know someone with a bob-o-pedic and loves it. I don’t know for sure that she actually tested it out against the true tempur-pedic so I can’t speak to comparisons.
