Pros: I liked the mattress for three years. It does not shake you when partner turns.
Cons: Mattress sags over time. The mattress surface under the body becomes abnormally warm.
The Bottom Line: I do not recommend this mattress. The Tempur-Pedic is not durable. The company does not stand behind this mattress after the 90 trial.

| liles52's Full Review: Tempur-Pedic Swedish Mattress |
I liked the Tempur-Pedic when we first got it. I even showed it to friends. After three years, the mattress began to soften. Two large valleys have appeared where my wife and I sleep. The valleys are now almost one-inch in depth. I began to feel numbness in my arms from sleeping in "my valley." My back is stiff each morning while getting out of bed. Physically, I feel better before I go to bed than I do after sleeping on the Tempur-Pedic. A physical therapist has recommended that I get rid of the mattress. I hate to throw the mattress away since it was so expensive. My wife is also complaining about the lack of a good-night's rest. The company is not standing by their product. They have acknowledged to me that the mattress will soften where one lies. The company's advertisement showing a street roller running over the mattress to demonstrate durability is misleading to consumers. They also told me that the foundation under the mattress might be bad. I bought the foundation from them as well. Both, the foundation and mattress sag. I am 6'2" and weigh 190 pounds. I don't feel my size should be a factor. After six years of ownership, and three years of complaining to the company, we are now waving the white flag. At times, I sleep on our 20 year-old mattress that we moved to the spare bedroom. In spite of the age of the old mattress, it is better than the Tempur-Pedic. We are now looking for a new mattress. I am tired of the restless sleep.
