Is there a difference between Tempurpedic and other memory foam technology?

Question

Though our Tempurpedic mattress has been great for the last 20 yrs. it is time for a new bed. This is easier said than done as not only is there a whole new bed concept in the Sleep Number system but it seems that all mattress companies have come up w/their own brand or version of Tempurpedic's technology yet cost thousands less.

Answer 1

Tempurpedic invented memory foam that they refer to as tempur material.  All other companies use a generic the best know of which is Visco.  Tempurpedic is designed to relieve your pressure points.  Visco and other memory foams are softer and do not provide the same level of support.  Both are not 100% memory foam.  If they were they would be too soft to support you.  They have a certain number of inches of  memory foam and a denser base foam.  This is how they produce the support and feel they are looking for.  Tempurpedic gives a 20 year limited warranty as well as a 90 ddays comfort guarantee.  You won't get that with the others.

As for the Sleep number bed my daughter and son in law has had one for over 3 years. My daughter loved it at first now she hates it.  It is not comfortable no matter what number she sets it on.  It also changes numbers on its own.
