My hubby and I shopped for a new bed for months before selecting the memory foam bed - Swedish TempurPedic (sp?). We absolutely love it!!! It is wonderful, you just sink into heaven when you lay down.

We also heard that it made you hot - and believe me, I'm post menopausal and if it were hot, I'd know it and it doesn't bother me in the least - but I have read where it does bother some people. Everyone that I know that has it however, does not complain that it makes them hot.

We looked for a long long time and tested out the various beds SEVERAL times. We looked at the gel bed - you might want to check the gel beds out, we really liked them too and we also tested the select comfort (air) bed, as well has many many many conventional mattresses.

Money was no object - no we are not rich, but we had come into some unexpected money and decided we would buy our dream bed. Plus, my husband has many many very serious health problems, and has to spend lots of time in bed, so we wanted the best bed we could find.

We also got the adjustable frame - both the head and foot raise and lower - but this significantly raises the cost of the bed. However, my husband has to sleep with the head of the bed raised some of the time - so this meant that he could actually sleep in the bed during these times, as opposed to sleeping in the recliner.

I would highly recommend the memory foam bed. One thing though, is the colder the foam gets, the harder it is and conversly, the warmer it is, the softer the foam is. I've read that some people use a heated mattress pad to make the foam softer. If you like to sleep with your room very very cold, then it may be a little hard. The one nice thing about the TemprPedic is that it has a 30 day (maybe longer???) guarantee where you can return it if you don't like it.

Also, when you first get it home, it smells for a few days. The smell does go away, but if you are sensitive to smells, you may not like that for a few days.
