Tempur Mattress.. to buy or not to buy?

Hi my hubby would really like a Tempur mattress as he suffers a lot with back pain.

If it gives him a good nights sleep we will pay £££'s, however we dont want to pay a whopping £1900 (its superking size) if they aren't all they are cracked up to be.

I noticed on their website that they do a free trial, has anyone done it and returned the mattress without a problem?

Thanks x

    We considered Tempur mattresses as I suffer occasionally from a bad back and my wife was having hip pain. The price put us off so I did some research on the internet and found this company who sell mattresses manufactured in UK. They offer a 14 day money back 100% satisfaction guarantee and I can vouch for them and I am certain that they would keep their promise. They have been around for some time as we have had the mattress below for a few years now.
    It was well worth the money as back pains and hip pains disappeared. I spoke to them at length before which reassured me before purchasing and no money up front either. Don't get confused with copy company Bedlam.

    Note the mattress is substantial and very heavy being double sided memory foam

    I cannot post a link apparently so I need to tell you to go to bedlum-beds co uk and search for La Romantica venice memory foam and pocket sprung king size mattress £499

    You can get far better than Tempur for a fraction of the price. And there are on line sellers out there who also do a satisfaction guarantee.

    Did you know that Tempur came out bottom in the Which Magazine report?

    I did a little survey at work today as one of the ladies in the office was asking about memory foam mattresses. I found 4 people who had bought, all from different places, all with memory foam top and pocket sprung. They paid between £600 and £850 for a double with memory foam on one side (and to be honest you don't really need two), but interestingly they all said it was the best mattress they ever had. Dreams was one of the companies and a local Ipswich company mansionhouse was another.
    I think you pay for the name Tempur and it seems the rest do the job just as well, I know mine is superb.

    I presume you mean that you don't need memory foam on two sides??

    We have all been told for many years to turn our mattresses on a regular basis to make them wear evenly, and last longer. Then non turn mattresses came out. Non turn mattresses came out for one purpose only, to save production costs (especially as memory foam is the most expensive part of the mattress). Although they tell us that they are non turn for your convenience. This is complete rubbish, as a non turn mattress won't last anywhere near as long as a two sided mattress......this is common sense if you think about it.
