OT Temperpedic Memory Touch Matress topper
Anyone use the Temperpedic Memory Touch Matress topper? They are on
sale right now at Bed Bath and Beyond and I was wondering if it might help my sleep and my neck and shoulders. I ususally have to transfer to the couch half way through the night. I'm certain none of this is helping the perpetual headache situation I have been experiencing since May. I could use a new matress although I can't see anything wrong with this one except it is very very old. It doesn't seem broken or sunk. I have NO idea how you choose a mattress and they are SO expensive. So I wondered if it would be good to try this first but I can find little feedback on the web. |

I considered a Tempurpedic mattress but I read that they were slow to respond and cold when turning over. But I believe the toppers are much better, as they are thinner and made of the lighter foam. Costco sells them and even delivers if you order online. I hate the bed I did end up with, too soft for my back. It's got firm coils, but also has one of those pillow tops. If it wasn't so expensive I'd burn it. |

So far I've heard from a couple of people on another board and gotten good feedback. |

You can lie on it in the store, but you're really not going to know if it's the right one until you've slept on it - and for more than one night. A month is more like it. But you can't keep a mattress for a month and then return it if it turns out not to work for you. I mean who's going to want to buy a mattress that's been slept on by a stranger for a month? Joyce |

I don't know anything about what you're asking about. However, your mention of headaches struck a chord. Yours might be from an entirely different source. However, I was waking up every day with a headache for months. They turned out to be caused by TMJ syndrome - a jaw problem. Apparently the way I was sleeping, my jaw was pushed a little out of alignment as I slept. It wasn't cheap, but I went to an orthodontist. He had x-rays taken to prove that was the problem, then prescribed a splint. Well, that's what it was called. It was actually a plastic thing that fit over my teeth to make them align properly. After about six months, and two changes of splint as the alignment gradually took place, I was able to do without them. The headaches stopped as soon as I started wearing the splint. One simple test you can take that could show if you do have the TMJ problem: Open your mouth slowly, as wide as you can. If you feel a sort of pop in the joint of your jaw, the chances are you do have it. As I said, your headaches may have an entirely different cause, but it's something you might want to check out.

Why don't you try a sleep number bed? A few years ago, I bought a new mattress that just killed my back. I was sleeping on the floor! So, as a last ditch effort I tried the sleep number bed and it is great! You can change the firmness at any time. The price is comperable to other types of mattresses. Best thing I ever did - wish I had done it years ago!. Sharon On Aug 19, 10:52?pm, Karen wrote: Anyone use the Temperpedic Memory Touch Matress topper?

OT Temperpedic Memory Touch Matress topper
I have a cheap version of the Temper mattress. I like it but in the
winter it does get hard and then as your body warms it up it really changes to your shape. I think it helps my neck and back because when I sleep somewhere else I'm a lot sorer than when I sleep on it. In the summer when everything is hot it doesn't hold the shape so well, I find. Also, the Temperpedic says it will only work for about three years. I also have a cheap version of the neck pillow. If I were choosing between the two, I'd chose the pillow. I take mine with me when I'm going to sleep elsewhere. By the way, both the matress and pillow smelled plasticky and nasty when I first bought them, but after airing them out they were fine.

I have been sleeping on various unsatisfactory temporary duty air mattresses for some time, and am just about to buy one of the above (I'm leaning toward Comfortaire because there is no foam divider between the air cells of their queen size mattress). -- T.E.D. ) |

I solved my sore neck years ago when I bought a pillow made of wheat (it feels like rice inside). Not really any more expensive than a regular pillow and I found it at Walmart. In 3 days, my sore neck was gone forever. It makes noise when you turn, but in a few days you won't notice it. Regarding your shoulders, I cannot sleep on my side without having constantly sore shoulders, so try sleeping on your back instead. It worked for me, although I end up snoring when on my back... Good luck, Bobble |
