We had Tempur before for 15 years and decided to try a different brand because I felt the mattress was getting too soft for my back. It was a mistake. For all of you sleep on the side most of the time, Tempurpedic is the mattress to go. We finally decided to switch back to the brand even though we only purchased the different brand for 6 months. Now we can sleep well without our shoulders hurting in the morning.
