Memory foam mattresses are the new sensation in the mattress world and for god reason; there’s no doubting the benefits to be had on sleeping on a viscoelastic mattress. The first to manufacture the memory foam mattress was Tempur-Pedic and the company remains the market leader with this type of mattress. But do other brands, like the Sealy TrueForm Mattress, match the Tempur-Pedic mattress in terms of support, comfort and price?
With most comparisons you must try to compare like with like. Some for the following comparisons I will pitch the Tempur-Pedic CelebrityBed mattress to that of the Sealy TrueForm 11 Series mattress. Both of these mattresses are at the high-end of both quality and pricing for both companies. For the lower-end of the price category one should compare the Tempur-Pedic Classic mattress to the Sealy TrueForm 8 Series mattress but I won’t compare these models.
First off let’s be clear on one point. Both Tempur-Pedic and Sealy have different, patented memory foam; the memory foam is not supplied by a common source rather, both Tempur-Pedic and Sealy have researched, developed and manufacture their own distinct versions. Now let’s take a look at both products.
The Tempur-Pedic Mattress
The CelebrityBed mattress is Tempur-Pedic’s top-end mattress. It’s constructed with the Tempur-Pedic AirFlow System (a convoluted HR base), which is comprised of 2 4.3”support layers of proprietary TEMPUR material. The convoluted base helps to dissipate body heat, something that was always a problem with memory foam mattress. On top of the AirFlow System comes a 2.8" base layer (5.3 lb/ft3 density). Finally, you get one, 2” pillow top comfort layer (5.3 lb /ft3 density) memory foam. The mattress itself is contained in a removable cover; 67.5% cotton, 25% polyester, 7.5% cashmere, which can be easily unzipped for washing.
The Sealy TrueForm Mattress
The Sealy memory foam mattress is also multilayered, consisting of 2 layers of foam. The 9 Series from Sealy consists of a 6" poly core (made of high-density foam), 3.5" of regular visco (memory foam) and 1.5" of convoluted visco. The convoluted later of the Sealy TrueForm, like that of the Tempur-Pedic mattress) is designed to draw away body heat. Interestingly the convoluted layer of the Sealy forms the top layer whereas the convoluted layer of the Tempur-Pedic forms the base of the mattress. Which is more effective is hard to say. The Sealy TrueForm 9 Series also comes with a zip-off velour cover with added cashmere.
So how does each mattress compare. The Tempur-Pedic mattress is slightly heavier than the Sealy mattress. However, as neither mattress requires any flipping, weight is not an issue. You can get a box spring for each mattress – personally, this is a complete waste of money). However, the Sealy TrueForm mattress is compatible with Sealy’s PowerBase, so you can adjust the mattress to various positions, program in your favorite positions and even get a massage – I prefer to get a massage administered by human hand rather than a machine, but I suppose the Powerbase is great for watching television.
Both mattresses come with a 20 year limited warranty.
The most important question though is which mattress gives the best support and comfort. I have tested both mattresses and can honestly say that I could not rate the Tempur-Pedic mattress over the Sealy, or vice-versa. I have heard some comments that the memory foam used in the Sealy TrueForm mattress is slightly softer than that used in the Tempur-Pedic CelebrityBed – I didn’t notice this but perhaps I’m not as sensitive as some.
In conclusion I would rate the Sealy TrueForm higher than that of the Tempur-Pedic mattress, purely based on price. The Sealy mattress is substantially cheaper than that of the Tempur-Pedic, so why pay more? I sometimes wonder if the high price of a Tempur-Pedic mattress is so high because the company advertizes so much or, perhaps, it believes people will pay more because it is the market leader.

There's More To Offer Than Just The Sealy PosturePedic
Sealy is the world's largest mattress manufacturer but most folks just know about the Sealy PosturePedic collection. But the company makes more than just the traditional innerspring kind, it also makes latex and the latest technical innovation; the memory foam mattress.
The Sealy PosturePedic range of mattresses is its core brand. The mattress was originally designed with the help of orthopedic surgeons. Until recently, manufacturers made mattresses without seeking any help from the medical profession; most still do. But, if you're seriously telling your customers that yours is going to support them better and give them a more restful night's sleep then you really ought to be designing and testing your product with healthcare professionals.
Of course Sealy aren't the only manufacturer now doing this, others like Kingsdown and Restonic are also designing mattresses with the help of the medical profession. In fact, the Kingsdown mattress is now sold in conjunction with the customer being analyzed using its patented Dormo-Diagnostics Sleep Machine - a computer program analyses your body shape, and weight distribution and compares this against medical studies involving millions of people. If you're thinking of buying a Sealy PosturePedic you should also take a look at the Kingsdown Body System mattress for comparison.
The Sealy SpringFree mattress is made from 100% latex. It's comprised of a solid high-density core and is laminated with different densities of latex foam to provide support and maximum comfort. Latex had gone out of fashion but it is becoming fashionable once again, due in part to the popularity of memory foam. Many want the pressure relieving properties of memory foam but want a safer product that is also not heat sensitive so the body molding effect is instantaneous. The latex used in the SpringFree collection is synthetic. If you prefer natural latex then check out the Jamison Talalay mattress.
The Sealy TrueForm mattress is a memory foam mattress. Memory foam is viscoelastic foam that is both weight and heat sensitive and conforms to the exact shape of the person lying down on it. Unlike other mattresses, this has been shown to distribute weight far more evenly and so minimize pressure points. All viscoelastic mattresses are made using a base block of high-density (non-memory) foam on top of which is laminated one or several layers of memory foam. All good memory foam should have a minimum of 5 lbs/cubic foot density - the TrueForm has 5.2 lbs.
Sealy make three different mattresses in the TrueForm collection; the 8, 9 and 11 Series. Each offers the same base layer but different configurations of the top, memory foam layers.
There is far more on offer than just the Sealy PosturePedic mattress. Both the latex and memory foam collections offer the consumer more choice as to type they want. Many consumer mattress reviews give all types a good overall rating. However, finding the perfect one is a very subjective matter and you are best advised to try out as many with as many brands - like the Jamison and Kingsdown mattress mentioned above - as you can before you buy.

A Guide To Top-Rated Mattresses
With so many different mattresses and brands available looking for your next mattress can be rather daunting. To make your choice easier you should try to buy one of the top-rated mattresses from a leading mattress manufacturer. While not exhaustive, the following mattress reviews will help you narrow down your search for your next mattress.
Below is a concise mattress review of the top brands of mattresses on the market today. Each mattress manufacturer offers something slightly different so choosing the best mattress is really deciding on what your requirements are and how much you want to spend.
Sealy Posturepedic Mattress
Sealy have been making mattresses since 1818 and is the largest selling brand in the United States. Because Sealy mass-produces mattresses in such large numbers, the company affords today’s mattress shopper the best mid priced mattress sets available. Sealy offers a wide selection that blends comfort and durability with value to provide the best mid priced mattresses. As well as the Sealy Posturepedic mattress, there is also the Sealy TrueForm mattress, which incorporates memory foam in its build.
Simmons Beautyrest Mattress
Pocket coil mattresses offer one big advantage over traditional spring mattresses: you aren't disturbed by your partner's tossing and turning. Unlike conventional spring mattresses, each spring is contained in its own pocket, so move movement of one spring doesn't cause movement of other around it. The pocket coil mattress isn't new; Simmons has been producing a pocket coil mattress since 1925. Trademarked as the “Do Not Disturb” mattress, Simmons claims that its pocketed coil reduces more motion between partners than any other mattress in the industry today. Depending on the size of the mattress and other options, the Simmons Beautyrest ranges from mid-price range to expensive.
Jamison Smart Coil Mattress
Inner springs aren't new, however Jamison has taken the innerspring a stage further. Jamison took the world's best coil - the tempered steel, fine wire LFK coil which is open-ended and double offset - and engineered it to produce the Jamison Smart Coil. Smart Coils are put together with alternating right-turn and left-turn construction. This means that when weight is applied, the two coils work in tandem, thereby reducing partner disturbance. You can find this inner spring system in the Jamison Balance, Equalizer, and Vita Pedic mattresses. Jamison mattresses may not be as well known as the big players like Serta or Sealy, but they have a reputation for making excellent mattresses. Prices of Jamison mattress range from above mid-price to expensive.
Tempur-Pedic Mattress
If you've been looking for a new mattress you've probably heard about memory foam. This new and amazing material responds to body heat and weight to mould to the exact shape of the sleeper's body. What this means is that weight is distributed evenly and therefore optimal support is given whilst sleeping and so almost completely eliminates pressure points. This visco-elastic material first saw use in hospitals as an aid to sleep for those with back problems or pressure sores, but has recently been introduced to the general public. Tempur-Pedic was the company that pioneered the research and use of this new mattress. Many other manufacturers have now developed their own version of memory foam mattresses but a Tempur-Pedic memory foam remains the best. Tempur-Pedic mattresses aren't cheap but you're buying the last technical advances in mattress design.

How to Optimize Your Quality of Life With Tempurpedic Foam Mattresses
How long have you owned the mattress you presently sleep on? Does it povide you with the quality of sleep you deserve? Do you ever wake up with any type of sleep soreness whatsoever, do you toss and turn or suffer from back pain? Have you ever heard of a Tempurpedic mattress? There are a number of reasons why people might be considering the feasibility of investing in a new sleep system. Maybe you've been considering it yourself for whatever reason.
If you have been or know someone who may be in the market for a new mattress, then a great place to start that comes very highly recommended is a company called Tempurpedic. They have literally revolutionized the sleep industry with their mattresses, pillows and mattress toppers made of viscoelastic memory foam material. To make a long story short, in the 70's, NASA developed a memory foam material to relieve astronauts of the pressures of high levels of "G force" in which they had to endure. Tempur pedic, a Swedish sleep system company, proposed an idea to NASA years later, and were granted permission to bring something new to the sleep world. What came out of this was the Tempurpedic mattress. Because of them, there are millions of people now experiencing a new level of sleep quality night after night.
Many millions of dollars were spent researching and developing this visco elastic memory foam material, and it carries with it, a number of amazing features. For one, it's viscoelastic properties, and for those who are not sure what that means, it simply has the ability to return to it's original shape. For example, you apply a force with your hand to it and it will completely mould to every contour of your hand, but once you remove the force (your hand), it will return to it's exact initial shape. It also carries with it, tempur sensitive qualities, which changes the firmness with varying tempuratures.
Below a certain tempurature, the mattress will become firmer, but your body heat will soften it where it needs to soften in order to relieve all pressure points in your body. Your body will sink into the Tempurpedic mattress evenly. So you guessed it, not only are they temperature sensitive, they are also pressure sensitive. Those are not the only qualities of a tempur pedic mattress. They are also energy absorbing, body conforming, durable, hypoallergenic and considered the most comfortable mattress in the world. Please do not take our word for it, go out and try one out for yourselves. After a decade of these mattresses being on the market, Tempur Pedic wanted to bring an even better product to the table and now introduces the new Nimble Pedic mattresses, claiming to have surpassed the tempurpedic mattress. I haven't had the chance to try one out yet, but when I do, you'll be the first to hear about it.
The Tempurpedic matress sleep system can be a little pricey, but when you consider all the time you spend in bed, and how much your life will improve due to a perfect sleep night after night, how can you deprive yourself of that? You may think you are achieving a perfect night's sleep on your inner-spring mattress, try one of these Tempurpedic beds, and you will be almost sure to change your mind. But be careful, because many foam companies claim to make a top quality visco elastic foam mattress. The difference comes in the density of the foam. Tempurpedic foam has a density of approximately 5.3 lb/cu foot, as opposed to most competitors coming in at about 4 lb/cu foot. This makes a considerable difference in comfort, durability and body conforming quality levels.
I can go on all day about how great these mattresses are, and about how there is never a need to flip them, and how they have a skid proof bottom to prevent shifting and so much more they can offer you to take your sleep quality to levels you never thought were possible. However, nothing will be justified until you take one for a test drive, which will be your first step to achieving optimal sleep quality. You will ba amazed at the effect a quality night's sleep will do for you, your mood, and the overall way you feel all day long.

How To Get A Cheap Tempurpedic Mattress
Tempurpedic Mattresses are considered the top of the line memory foam mattresses anywhere. Unfortunately, the prices of tempurpedic mattress aren’t considered cheap and many people can’t afford a tempurpedic mattress
It used to be each distributor and dealer of tempurpedic products set their own retail price and if you shopped around hard enough, you may find one that sells relatively cheap or at a discount.
However recently, Tempur-Pedic decided to change its policy. All tempurpedic mattress will be sold at the same retail prices so now it is really pointless to search around for the cheapest tempurpedic mattress.
The reason for this is that Tempur-Pedic wants to assure their customers that no matter where you get their products, it is always the same price and quality. That means no extra benefits added by the dealers such as free shipping, extra pillow, extra tempurpedic mattress topper etc to entice customers to buy. The same rules applies for all dealers.
However, I found sometimes you can get a good deal if you deal with the dealer directly. By directly, I mean going down to their retail store and negotiate with them. Sometimes they may give you a better price, sometimes not. If not, move on to other retail stores that carry tempurpedic mattresses.
Don’t bother trying to call them or visit their web site since they would probably quote you the official prices for it. So the best way is to negotiate with the dealer directly.
The other way to get a cheap tempurpedic mattress is to go on ebay. There are a lot of sellers that sells cheap tempurpedic mattresses on ebay. However, there have been cases where the tempurpedic mattress brought were not of high quality and even worse not tempurpedic at all.
Do your due diligence and check out the seller, check their feedback and see what their previous customers have to say. You can email or phone the seller to make sure they are not selling fake tempurpedic mattresses.
The other alternative to buy other memory foam mattresses instead. Though I still prefer tempurpedic mattress, there are some people who cannot afford the prices.
Now, there are about a dozen different types of memory foam mattress sold, probably a lot more than I can count. So how do I get it that is cheap and comparable to tempurpedic mattress?
The only way to know is to test and that means paying a visit to your local retail store and trying it out first before buying. The most important thing is you feel comfortable and make sure there is a free trial or a back money guarantee so that you can always return it if you feel the memory foam mattress does not suit you.

Because of this many people can not afford to purchase a tempurpedic mattress. However, in this article I will provide you with some ways of finding a tempurpedic mattress sale. Then hopefully you will get that good night sleep you have always wanted.

Why You Can't Find A Cheap Tempur-Pedic Mattress
Time was you could find a low-priced Tempur-Pedic mattress if you looked hard enough. But these days finding a bargain is proving extremely difficult. Why is this? And, is it possible to buy a cheap Tempur mattress?
Many have heard about, read about and actually laid down on a Tempur-Pedic mattress and know the amazing support and comfort you get when sleeping on one, but they're expensive and many simply can't afford or justify spending that much. Until quite recently, it was possible to find a dealer who could offer you a good deal, but this is proving more and more difficult to do. Why is this?
Around late 2006, Tempur began issuing strict guidelines for retailers of its mattresses. It requires all dealers to sell their products at the same price. There is to be no more 'discounts', 'free shipping', 'extra Tempur-Pedic pillows or toppers' or 'avoiding sales tax'. This has constrained dealers on what they can offer and has reduced their individual sales discretion to entice customers to buy. Each dealer must now sell each mattress with sales tax and standard shipping charges. What this means for the buyer is that a Tempur-Pedic mattress is going to cost more or less the same no matter where you buy it from.
Tempur have done this as it wants to protect its reputation of selling quality products and to weed out unscrupulous or fraudulent dealers. This is a good thing but to those who like to find a good bargain it's made bargain hunting that much more difficult.
So, can you still buy a cheap Tempur-Pedic mattress? The answer is yes, but you'll have to work that little bit harder.
One option is to go in person to a retailer and see if you can negotiate a reduction; whilst they're not supposed to do this, you can sometimes get a discount. If one dealership won't play ball, try another one - you may be even to play one off against the other to get a reduced price.
Going online is another option. There are quite a few sites that still offer discounted Tempur-Pedic mattresses. There are many reasons why some sites can offer good reductions. Some may be selling discontinued lines. Another reason why they can do this is that some dealers buy Tempur products from abroad; Europe and America are generally more expensive than other parts of the world, like South East Asia. A dealer can buy them cheaper there, ship them over and still make a profit by selling at a discount.
But exercise caution when buying online. Make sure the product is genuine as there are many fakes that are being passed off as the genuine article. Many also claim to be selling cheap, but when you add on the shipping charges, handling costs, tax etc, the actual price is no cheaper than buying else where. Finally, what kind of warranty will you be getting? Many, online retailers will not be authorized dealers and you may not get the same warranty as you would when buying from an authorized dealership.
Why not consider buying a cheap memory foam mattress from another manufacturer? Many top rated and reputable companies like Seal and Serta make their own versions, and they're almost always cheaper than Tempur. Whether they're as good is of considerable debate, but you should definitely take a look at other brands.
Buying a cheap Tempur-Pedic mattress is still possible, but you have to be that little bit more determined. Like all bargain hunters, you have to shop around and haggle to get the best deal; but I find getting a bargain of any kind is a fantastic aid to sleep.
Many have heard about, read about and actually laid down on a Tempur-Pedic mattress and know the amazing support and comfort you get when sleeping on one, but they're expensive and many simply can't afford or justify spending that much. Until quite recently, it was possible to find a dealer who could offer you a good deal, but this is proving more and more difficult to do. Why is this?
Around late 2006, Tempur began issuing strict guidelines for retailers of its mattresses. It requires all dealers to sell their products at the same price. There is to be no more 'discounts', 'free shipping', 'extra Tempur-Pedic pillows or toppers' or 'avoiding sales tax'. This has constrained dealers on what they can offer and has reduced their individual sales discretion to entice customers to buy. Each dealer must now sell each mattress with sales tax and standard shipping charges. What this means for the buyer is that a Tempur-Pedic mattress is going to cost more or less the same no matter where you buy it from.
Tempur have done this as it wants to protect its reputation of selling quality products and to weed out unscrupulous or fraudulent dealers. This is a good thing but to those who like to find a good bargain it's made bargain hunting that much more difficult.
So, can you still buy a cheap Tempur-Pedic mattress? The answer is yes, but you'll have to work that little bit harder.
One option is to go in person to a retailer and see if you can negotiate a reduction; whilst they're not supposed to do this, you can sometimes get a discount. If one dealership won't play ball, try another one - you may be even to play one off against the other to get a reduced price.
Going online is another option. There are quite a few sites that still offer discounted Tempur-Pedic mattresses. There are many reasons why some sites can offer good reductions. Some may be selling discontinued lines. Another reason why they can do this is that some dealers buy Tempur products from abroad; Europe and America are generally more expensive than other parts of the world, like South East Asia. A dealer can buy them cheaper there, ship them over and still make a profit by selling at a discount.
