This is the 2nd Tempur-Pedic mattress we have owned. We looked at all options when shopping for the 2nd mattress but we knew the comfort and quality of our first Tempur-Pedic and so the choice was really a simple one. I strongly recommend finding a store where you can try out the various models, we went from a medium firmness with the first mattress to soft on the 2nd one. The mattress conforms to your body, it supports yet cradles your body as you sleep - it's a mattress like no other. You won't regret buying a Tempur-Pedic!!
