Has anyone got a Tempur mattress?

[JohnnyMcGrathSaysFuckOff]

I am looking for a really firm and cool mattress. I've just been to see this one and think I like it, but would like to hear from anyone who has one.

Is it really comfy? Does it last well? Any experiences appreciated!

I don't but I'm interested to see the recommendations from others as we are thinking of ordering a new bed soon and liked the polar gel ones that we saw in Dreams but if there's a better option I would consider it.

I have one. Have had it for about 5 years now. Very pleased with it. It has kept its shape and I don’t find it too warm. Mine is a super king and it is heavy to move. I would recommend it.

I have had one for about 10 years and not once have I regretted the purchase. When I am travelling I do end up missing my mattress.
I can't remember the exact name of the model, but it was the "hardest" and the "thickest", if that makes sense.

I have had one for the past 7 years. Very comfortable but I get far too hot in it. I use a 4.5 tog quilt all year with the window open and I still struggle. Feel like I have to keep it because it cost a bloody fortune.

I don't have one of the new cooling ones though.

Absolutely love mine. Got ‘free’ Tempur pillows with it and they are the best pillows ever.

Yes. Love it. Only downside is the kids couldn’t jump on it (no ‘spring’).

Kids not being able to jump is PLUS. in my world!

I am caught between the very firm Tempur and a sprung mattress with wool.

I bought a tempur mattress almost four years ago and it was the worst mistake I have ever made. I tried one in Dreams, and the display bed felt very soft. But the mattress I’ve got is the most uncomfortable thing I’ve ever slept on. It was like a rock for the first two years, to the point where I had to get the thickest topper I could find to make it more bearable. I’m sure it played a part in the damage that I did to my back a few months later. I’ve turned it religiously but it’s now got a huge dip in the middle. When I bought it, I had already exchanged another rock hard but comparatively cheap mattress under the Dreams guarantee, and so couldn’t return this one. I’ve been trying to tell myself that I can’t justify buying a new mattress having spent £1500 on this one, but I think I have to just write it off as a disaster and cut my losses. I would urge anyone to be very very careful before spending that much on a mattress.

I should add that I don’t find it cool at all - for the first time since I was six, I’ve not needed to use an electric blanket.

Hi @Growlybear83 thanks. I actually want a very firm mattress - my current Emma one is marketed as firm but is like a pudding and I hate it.
