I just got a Sleep Number, and I fought my fiance tooth and nail to not purchase it, but boy am I glad she did! No more sore back in the morning, no more tossing and turning and the ability to adjust it at the push of a button is a huge plus!

Thanks all for the help.

There was a local furniture store going out of business and we got a king size Tumpur-pedic Rhapsody for $2400. Price everywhere else in town was $3500.I think we got a SMOKIN deal.

Thanks again.

Sorry, kind of forgot about this post. To answer a few questions.

Jim916: I would check out Tempurpedic's website for the differences. It's beeen about two years since I sold them and things usually change every two years in the bedding industry.

Chasineyes:You can't use two twins to support a king. King is 76x80 and twins are 38x75. The width would be right but the length is shorter. If you can get two extra long twins, that would work.. Really, you won't be saving that much money and a lot of mattress companies won't warranty the mattress if it's not supported by a new box system that matches the mattress. They said that when a mattress fails, most times it was because the box didn't support he mattress properly. One other thing to mention. If this is your first king, you should expect hump between the two of you in time. This is caused by the split box under a king. Where the two boxes come together in the middle will have firmer support and won't allow the mattress to sag with the rest of the mattress.

justhavinfun: The topper will only be as good as the mattress under it. If the traditional foams in the mattress sag, the topper will follow that contour and sag. The different weights are equal to the density of the foam. When I sold there was 3lb foam and 5.3lb foam. This is the weight of one cubic foot of foam. The more it weighs, the more support it provides. As we went from tradtional furniture to Amish furniture, Tempurpedic was coming out with a 7lb foam. I would think the comment about lighter foam being easier to move in is backwards. The lighter foam would be softer and you wuld sink more in it, making for more restricted movement.

Stickgiggler: Congrats, that is an awesome buy. Tempurpedic controls the sale price that a store can charge. If they charge less, they risk losing their license to sell them. They can discount if they are going out of business or quit selling Tempurpedic and are blowing out exsisting inventory and floor models.

We have an Original Mattress Factory bed. They make really high quality beds.
