Complaints About Tempurpedic
Gripes and criticisms against the Tempurpedic mattress vary. While dissatisfied owners of this viscoelastic (memory foam) mattress are few, lets look at what are considered the down sides of buying Tempurpedic beds.
Tempur mattress causes back pain
For some people the Tempurpedic is almost too supportive compared to what they had been sleeping on. Their body has got used to the sagging feel and adjusted to it by being completely out of whack. Their is also the fact that memory foam does not act like a innerspring system does by bouncing or having a lot of give. The pedic foam mattress will adjust according to your individual body weight and heat to give you correct amount of support but this is sometimes too much for those unlucky few.
Tempurpedic mattresses make you hot
This criticism is both true and false. The open cell structure used in their memory foam mattresses do not hold heat. Plus they use up to two Air Flow Systems to let heat and air move through and out of the bed. But that does not mean that their sleep systems will not make some people feel hot. Anyone who gets hot or sweat when something is wrapped tightly next to their body will also be hot on a Tempurpedic mattress. This is not the bed or the persons fault. The two just do not go together well.
Tempurpedic beds smell or stink
This complaint happens a small percentage of the time. The chemical process used to clean the Tempur bed can sometimes leave that Tempurpedic mattress odor if it was bagged before allowing the smell to dissipate. If it does have an odor than just let it air out for a few days and you will be fine. Sometimes walking on the mattress will help in letting the smell go away.
Tempurpedic mattresses make it hard to move around
For some people this is true and a disadvantage of memory foam mattresses. But everyone is different. When you move or roll over in Tempur mattresses the elastic foam has to re-conform to your body and shape. This takes a few seconds. While it is doing this the area you left must go back to the original shape. This takes a moment too. If you feel this and it bothers you than choose the Celebrity Bed which has a lower density formula on top which makes it easier to move and improves sleep comfort.
Tempurpedic mattresses are too temperature sensitive
One of the ways the Temperature mattress memory foam works is based on your body heat. The cells move and conform to your individual body type. But this also means the viscoelastic foam will feel different based on the temperature of the room. A colder room will make the bed firmer while a hotter room will make it softer. Once you are in the bed it will perform as usual.
Tempurpedic beds are too expensive
Maybe or maybe not. This is a high quality sleep system which will improve your health and last for a very long time. How much is too much for such a product. This will last for many years so you will get your monies worth out of a Tempurpedic mattress. It is true that they are priced fixed and do not go on sale, ever. That is why they have roughly eleven models in a wide variety of price ranges. You should be able to find one to fit your budget. Remember, this is your health so don’t skimp. This is one of those complaints that is more of a budget issue than anything against the mattress itself.
Allergic to Tempurpedic mattresses
With all memory foam mattresses and quite a few other types of mattresses there is a small amount of out gassing going on. A small percentage of consumers complain they are very sensitive to this and have a reaction. There is nothing in a Tempur mattress to really set off allergies or cause an allergic reaction. In fact, Tempurpedic beds are one of the most hygienic sleep systems you can get due to their resistance to dust mites.
