Our youngest son bought one about a year or so ago and he hates it. He says that it is too warm for him and he can't get a good night sleep....I told him maybe get a different girl friend..Ha Ha Ha :p ooopppsssssseeee did I say that on here....

:lol tears...you are BAD!!!

For those of you that have a memory foam/ temperpetic, where did you get yours?

Did you order it off an infomercial/online or buy it from a store?

Anything special that you need to buy for it? Sheets, frame, etc.

Any down falls to having on or anything the salesperson said that you need to do for special care of it? Like having to turn it, flip it, stains, cleaning, etc.

Thanks!

I admit it I am BAD............... :rolleyes:

We bought it from a local independent dealer. The store had the air bed also as well as things like a few hospital beds and the like. It's sorta like a therapeutic bed store :confused: Anyway, I don't think I would have bought it online - although my mom bought a memory foam bed from QVC and she just loves it. I knew that if we didn't like it and wanted to return it, there would be no problems with a local dealer - but we wouldn't give it up for the world!!!

There's nothing special that you need, everything fits, just like a regular bed - we did put a special waterproof mattress cover on it (it's not like plastic - it's hard to explain - it looks like cloth, but is waterproof) because we have 2 dogs in bed with us and although they've never peed on the bed, they have occasionally thrown up!!! :eek:

Regular bed sheets should fit it just fine. We do have to have special sheets, but only because we got the adjustable frame where the head and foot raises, so we have a split king mattress (I didn't want to have to sleep raised up just because my husband needed/wanted to sleep with the head of the bed raised and visa versa) - so we have 2 twin extra long mattresses to make a split king sized bed, and the sheets are hard to find. We use a regular king size top sheet - so we always have to buy the sheets separately. Similarly, we had to buy twin XL waterproof mattress covers - but the store where we bought the bed, sold the covers.

That makes sense to buy from a local dealer. I have not decided which one I want though - guess I better be doing some in store testing on them!!!! I like the idea of the air bed, but I have heard good things about the temperpetic/memory foam beds. - Although, I am very hot natured, so I don't know how that would work - I guess with a 30 day guantee, that wouldn't be bad! I think in a month you pretty much know if it will be right for you. Thanks for all the help!

Well, I broke bad and ordered one. It will be delivered Wednesday the 8th with the new bedroom furniture. I am a trade off type person, traded my old bedromm set for some hardwood floor installation. Got a good deal too. So, we will have to let you know how it goes...Thanks for all the advice. Laying on one in the middle of the store, albeit embarrassing, was incredible. Can't wait to try it out!!

Oh goodie! I bet you will love it! I can't wait to hear what you think of it!
