You know, opinions about beds are like belly buttons, eveybody's got one..........

Here's my 2 cents....I've got a bad lower back. I'm 47 years old and I've had back problems since I was 21. I've done the waterbed (waveless and partial waveless, baffles, etc.), the Nautilus, the Sleep number, the Serta, the Sealy, you name it. When webuilt our new house and we went shopping for a new king bed, I tried the Tempur-Pedic on a recommendation from a good friend. (You know...the Swedish mattress?) I was very gun shy at first because of the price. But, after "test driving" the original and some of the "wanna-be's", I was so damn impressed by the Tempur-Pedicbecause I felt like I was literally suspended in air. It actually molded to my body. Now I know why all the ads for the other memory foam beds compared themselves to Tempur-Pedic. Guess what...it's true when they sayyou getwhat you pay for -- at least when it comes to mattresses - and at least in my case. It's been 3 years now since we moved into our house,and I haven't had any problems with my back or the mattress.

I know one thing....finding a good mattress has got to be one of the most difficult things to accomplish in the world! Good luck!!!
