I have had 4 Tempurpedic mattresses, and not one lasted more than 2 years. At $4k a pop I could not afford to own one. The sleep was incredible, but the cost was unsustainable. The warranty was 10 years but only applied if the mattress showed more than an inch of sag. They never did, they just lost support.
I now own a Purple 3 and it is as good or better, less expensive, and on year 3 of use. A really excellent design. We have a king on a motion base and it works perfectly.
We bought a Casper for the lake house. It was far too firm for us. I wish I would have bought another Purple, but the Casper was 1/3 the price and not used as much.
Good luck whatever you buy.
I am heavier than the average person, YMMV.

Another vote for sleep number. Get a new topper every few years, but otherwise it's completely adjustable. Back hurts, air it down real low and then hit the up button so it starts to firm up. Stop after it feels good and you're set for the night. Change it again tomorrow if you need to. Mine is about 15 years old.
My last 2 mattresses I've paid right about 1k each and they lasted about 6 years. 3 years ago we got a mattress from Ikea for $500 and it is the best mattress we've ever had.
We really like these, we have a few LOL. Only about $400 for King 
Memory foam isn’t good for infants so we had to get a box spring for a while.
But we’ll go right back to memory foam when we’re able.
There’s zero chance I’m spending thousands for a bed.
My sister paid $6k for her fancy bed…lmao it’s no more comfortable than what we have.

We had a memory foam, but it didn’t work out. It was hot and I don’t think it ever broke in. Initially it felt fine but we always had pain at the pressure points in the morning. Hips for me, shoulders and hip on wife. Sold to wife’s coworker for $100 and she loves it. Go figure...
I love memory foam. Ours is getting up there.
Will be following.

Did TMM have them in their Katy store, or did you have to go to the store inside East 610?
Thanks, Grumps21.
We're moving to Richmond and we'll be getting a new bed in the move. TMM has been on the list, but furniture will be from Gallery. TMM and Gallery have stores in and around Katy/Richmond...very convenient.

There's a guy who is grateful for his success. He hit rock bottom in his business and financials not long after he started and built the business back, one stupid commercial after another. And by treating people right. I remember back when his showroom grew by buying the houses next door, connecting to them, and putting out more furniture in the new space. He personally helped my mom finance some furniture and was fair and forthcoming about everything.
In my personal experience, that man has a solid reputation and it's well-deserved.

The ENTIRE mattress retail business in an ongoing scam. Manufacturers don't use standard model names, so it is impossible to compare.
The two reasonable ways to get a decent mattress at a decent price today are:
!) Get someone in the hotel industry to get you one when they order; they "buy direct".
2) Go to Sam's Club, read the tags, close your eyes, and guess.
All attempts to get either honest data or a really decent price at any mattress store or furniture place will be thwarted by the "system" !

That's why there's a whole genre of YouTubers who do mattress testing. I went down that rabbit hole once and I'm surprised I found my way back out again.

I like the "memory foam" mattresses, because they isolate movement - I'm up and down and a restless sleeper - the memory foam isolates my movement from my girlfriend on the other side of the bed. We've had two "knock off" memory foam mattresses and they seem to last about 7-8 years, at best. I've been looking at the Sleep Number mattresses, and they seem to be decent, too. Once ya leave a lower-priced spring mattress, the price goes up to the $2,000+ neighborhood pretty quickly.
