Reviving this one to see how those of you who've had a Tempurpedic feel about it now, and how long you've been sleeping on it.

I've had just about every bed, every price range. My last bed has been bothering me for about two or three years (it's a Simmons World Class extra-firm with deluxe pillow top etc). I also purchased a good memory foam topper that I've had on it for the past two or three years. But like every bed I've had, after about five years or so I can't seem to get comfortable in it and I know a mattress should be good for at least 10, possibly 20 years.

I'm ready to leave coil mattresses and despite The Jazz's good intentions, a few minutes on a mattress can't compare with a few years on it. ALthough there's something different for everyone, I would really like to hear some opinions.

I like the idea of Tempurpedic because of the no-pressure-point feeling. Do users of the bed find that's really so? And although I had "genuine" Tempurpedic pillow, I didn't care for it, but I'm hoping that's because the back-to-neck angle just bothered me.

Also, if anyone's tried the latex beds that Ikea carries and swears by, I'd love to hear the difference.

Thank you for your opinions.
