Thinking about Tempuredic? Think no longer!

So for anyone that knows me, you will know that I have turned into an old man! That is to say that I'm plagued with so many "things" that it seems like I should be 50+ years old in age. But alas, I've been plagued with the misfortune that so many American's are faced with--that is to get a good nights sleep.

How difficult this was, I was at a point where I was taking over the counter sleep aids practically each night, in order to achieve sleep. So the wife and I have been debating over the past year and a half whether or not to get a new bed--specifically whether to invest in a Tempurpedic. Let's face it, getting a bed is a big investment, as big as say a new big screen, or computer, or electronic gizmo or widget. So it's sufficient to say that you shouldn't go into this investment lightly!

But when you do find the right time and get everything in order, this was an AWESOME investment for us! Some things to be aware of:

• When you get your bed, the initial smell DOES take some time to ventilate! So keep your windows open and fans going the first day when they deliver the bed and unwrap it from plastic, and this will expedite the process of lessening the smell. It does go away, but even now having it for a few months, there are trace amounts of smell still there. I don't think that it smells bad, but other's perhaps would.
• Get the Queen Tempurpedic pillow's you will not regret it!
• Keep in mind the name, "tempur" meaning reacts with temperature. So for people like me who are naturally warm bodied, you want to think about this when selecting sheets and also how thick of a comforter that you will have on the bed. For me, I wanted something lighter as the bed insulates some of my heat.
• It does take a few weeks to get use to the change in sleeping patterns. The bed reacts VERY quickly to changes, so if you go from side sleeping to stomach sleeping, it takes only a second for the bed to react

All in all, we are very impressed with this decision. It has worked out well and I find myself staying asleep and in fact it's hard for me to wake up some times because I'm so comfortable in sleep--not that I can't wake up because I haven't had enough sleep. It's a wonderful feeling, but keep in mind, this doesn't take away from the fact that you should have a decent amount of steady sleep each day, so remember to get at least 6-8 hours, this does help a lot!
