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.
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!
They’re not even close. Not in pressure relief, support, and especially not longevity. Do yourself a favor and get the Adapt. I sell both and I own the Adapt (still wish I would have just gone with the ProAdapt)
