Tempurpedic beds are well-known as the mattress of choice for NASA and most national hotel chains. Their products are soft, comfortable and very supportive. So, if you're debating the purchase of a Tempurpedic mattress, read on for a brief synopsis of the company's products, mattress features, prices and information on where you can buy one of their beds.
The Science Behind TEMPUR
Tempurpedic beds are reactive and conforming thanks to the popular TEMPUR material that conforms to your shape and alleviates pressure points the when you sit on it or lay down. TEMPUR is patented and used by NASA astronauts as their sleeping surface of choice.
Allergen Resistant
Every Tempurpedic mattress is sprayed with an anti-allergen treatment designed to prevent dust, mold and mites from infesting or getting inside the mattress. The covers are also removable and washable, allowing you to clean them regularly. And none of the manufacturer's mattresses contains any formaldehyde or toxic CFC.
Accessories
You don't have to own a complete Tempurpedic bed sleep system to enjoy its helpful TEMPUR material experience. The company also sells pillows, office lumbar cushions and bed accessories like linens and mattress covers.
The company's office product lines include lumbar pillows, task chair covers and ergonomically designed seat cushions all designed with the intent of taking pressure points off your back and provide a more comfortable work environment.
Tempurpedic's pillow products include a range of basic sizes, body pillows and neck pillows. The TEMPUR material and inherent design are made to conform to the contours of your neck, which helps to eliminate a stiff neck and consequently provide a more comfortable night's sleep.
Cost of Tempurpedic Beds
Starting at $700 for a basic, twin-sized Original Bed sleep system and going up to almost $6700 for a king-sized Grand Bed, the luxury model, Tempurpedic Beds can be much more expensive than many will be able to afford. However, many sleepers wrestling with uncomfortable mattresses and sore backs would likely argue that the extra expense is well worth it. So there's definitely a trade-off.
If the price for a Tempurpedic sleep system is somewhat steep, customers can look to individual retailers for refurbished or discounted prices. Or, they can apply for no down payment, no interest financing right from the Tempurpedic Beds' website (tempurpedic.com). With today's credit crisis, this option has its own inherent risks, but it's available.
Warranty Coverage
All Tempurpedic beds come with a 20-year warranty. This warranty covers any defaults or defects in the manufacturing of the bed or problems that have arisen as a direct result of faulty workmanship.
The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear or the "normal increase in softness of the TEMPUR material," which is a natural occurrence and doesn't actually affect the performance of the material.
Finally, the company charges a 50 percent of original cost replacement charge for any mattresses replaced under warranty after 11 years of use. And though the warranty limitations on Tempurpedic Beds may seem steep, the company has a strong level of customer satisfaction and reported customer service.
Memory Foam Sleep Systems
The Original Bed
Temperpedic Bed's Original Bed is based on the company's first design, released over ten years ago. It's constructed using a top layer of their state-of-the-art TEMPUR material and is made to conform to the human body with the obvious goal of offering a more relaxing night's sleep.
The Original Bed sleep system also comes with a soft, terry cloth cover that helps prevent penetration by dust, mites, mold and other allergens. It's removable and washable as well.
Temperpedic Symphony Sleep System
The Symphony Bed was Temperpedic's first product with an AirFlo base layer. It's made with a convoluted foam that's designed to increase air circulation and improve your internal temperature control while you sleep.
The Symphony sleep system is then topped with a TEMPUR comfort layer that both envelops and supports a person while he/she sleeps, relieving pressure points and cradling the body.
Temperpedic Celebrity Sleep System
The Celebrity Temperpedic Beds make their distinction based on extra touches like a cashmere-blend mattress cover, 13.5 inch high mattress, quilted surface and adjustable bed base. The Celebrity system also comes in a pillow-top design.
Temperpedic Grand Bed Sleep System
The Grand Bed is marketed as Temperpedic's most luxurious mattress. It's 14.5 inches high and made from their newly designed material - TEMPUR-HD, a high-density version of the TEMPUR fabric. Silk and satin are used to make the mattress cover, which is then finished in a fairly classic, quilted design.
Prices for Temperpedic Sleep Systems
Pricing for Temperpedic beds starts at about $700 for a Twin-sized, basic Original Bed model (a California King Original Bed costs $1500) and runs as high as $6700 for a California King-sized Grand Bed sleep system ($6000 for a Queen). Of course, many regard these prices as prohibitively steep, so none of these is necessarily a great purchase for just anyone.
If prices are steep, you could weight the option of the company's no interest financing plan for qualified consumers. Alternatively, Temperpedic sells accessories like mattress pads and pillows, making the TEMPUR experience accessible for all consumers.
Finding Temperpedic Beds
The best place to research and price Temperpedic sleep systems is right on the company's website. In addition to online sales, Temperpedic beds are also sold by most fine mattress retailers, furniture stores and major department stores.
Temperpedic beds are simply one grouping of many high priced beds that promise a great night's sleep. You, of course, are the judge.
