Hi everyone, looking to see if anyone can give advice with my pictures. I live in a country where it’s hard to find a mattress that isn’t very firm and fits my body shape (broad shoulders, small waist). The only way I can find anything is if I go with international Tempur or Simmons. I’m 6’1” 185cm, 205lb 93kg, sleep hot and side sleeper. In my two pictures, the first is the Tempur Pro Luxe Medium. This one felt really good on my shoulders and my back felt fine. However, I was hoping for a second opinion on my spinal alignment for longer sleep times. It looks and felt like I sink far into the mattress which might be as designed for that “cradling” feeling and might get better with sheets? I’m looking to see if I can find a Pro Luxe Medium-Firm to try but I fear it may not be comfortable on my shoulders. The second photo is the Tempur Pro Plus Medium. This one felt good on my back but my shoulder was crammed. The Soft feels slightly better but my back doesn’t feel supported. My back is definitely more important, but I’ll go without the Luxe for the best of both worlds if it looks fine. I appreciate any help and thank you!
Thanks for the response, yeah unfortunately I can’t get the American models here and 0 return policy. I actually went with green headboard (picture 1) Pro Luxe Medium. I went and tested again and green looked better because my shoulder was crammed up against the pillow. When they gave me a better pillow, it looked like how picture 1 does. The shop I went to the medium was a lot more firm so I hope it’ll work out.
Ok I’m actually changing back to tempur pedic we slept on for ten years and loved. Bought the pro adapt soft. Husband worried we should do medium. Thoughts?
Def not firm. I’d try them in store if you can. We had a medium hybrid for a few years and hated it. It never broken in and gave me terrible hip/lower back pain. We sold it at a loss and recently got the Pro Adapt Soft and love it for side sleeping.
You’re about 15 - 20kg heavier than me but same specs otherwise: 185cm, broad shoulders, narrow waist I recently went with the Tempur Pro Plus Soft and was debating either that or the Pro Luxe Medium/ Pro Plus Medium I think for you the pro luxe medium would be a safe bet. I know what you mean about shoulders, I had to go for the soft for my shoulders to fit in. If you’re used to firm mattresses the softer tempur stuff will make you feel like you’re unsupported but you’ll be fine, irrespective of how soft they are, your back eventually sinks into the support layers and it feels firm and stable. If you can afford it, go for the Luxe medium
We just purchased a Tempurpedic Pro Adapt 12 for $4500 + 10yr warranty on sagging. It's been life changing. I'm a side sleeper with a bad back and hips and cannot believe how much of my pain was coming from my old mattress.
My caveat is that our old mattress was 20 years old. Therefore, I think any new mattress would make me feel better. We've only had this new mattress for 2 months but it is firm, cool, and my back and hips feel so much better that it actually encouraged me to get moving and start working out. With my old mattress, I would have to stretch before getting out of bed because I was in so much pain. If I just tried to jump out of bed really quick, I would have massive lower back pain and hip pain. With this new mattress, I don't have to warm up before I get out of bed and I can easily get in and out of bed with no problem. My pain level went from an 8 to a 4, and I consider that great! 😊
We bought one of the original Tempur Pedic mattresses about 27-28 years ago. They were new - no one had ever heard of it. Bought at Healthy Back store in DC area. The temper material was used in the space shuttle and fighter jets as I recall. To provide support under high G forces. Sucker weighed a ton! Moving the bed was all but impossible. You couldn’t flip it due to the design. But even rotating it 180° was a major two person job! It lasted so long. But recently I had started waking with back ache. Wife was fine. So not sure if it was the mattress or me. We just (within the last month) got a new Tempur Pedic (Proadapt) on an adjustable base vs foundation. Much lighter. (I’m sure much less Tempur material.) We love it! My back has not complained since. So happy to see that heavy mattress and foundation walk out the door - but it had unbelievably long service with incredibly comfort and support for so long. We knew we wanted another. Nice to see you had good long term experience too!
