SUPER ELITE UPPER TIER
I've had a memory foam pillow for about 8 years now and I love it. Can't sleep without it. It's kind of nearing the end of its life cycle, but I have yet to find one that feels the same. I've bought a couple and they always feel too hard. My current one is so perfectly soft. Wish I remembered who the manufacturer was. But I digress.
So I've longed thought about buying a Tempur-pedic mattress, but a couple years ago, I stayed at a hotel that had one and I wasn't that impressed. Kind of on the fence on whether I really wanted to spend that much money. Well, about a month ago, we were at Kohl's and I saw a memory foam mattress topper that was on sale. It's a Sealy 4 inch top. Forget the normal price, but with the sale and with my Kohl's cash, I ended up paying just over a hundred dollars for it. Figured it would be a good way to test it out to see if I wanted to go all in on the mattress.
After sleeping on it for a week, I really liked the feel. Very soft. But I started to develop a migraine headache. I had that stupid headache for almost 3 weeks. And not like a headache that goes away. It was there constantly. I went to the doctor and he thought it could be Lyme disease or a mosquito borne disease. But after finding no other symptoms, he said to give it a couple more days before I came back and got some more serious tests done.
I tried to think of anything I did different since the headache started and the only thing I could think of was the mattress topper. So I took it off, much to the chagrin of my GF who had fallen in love with it. After two nights, the headaches were gone. Also, I was sleeping much better.
The memory foam was great for my back, but apparently not so great for my allergies. Anyone ever experience this? I looked online and there aren't many mentions of allergies to memory foam. Just trying to figure out a way so I can use this thing.
Also, I'd hate to drop over a grand on a Tempur-pedic mattress only to find out I'm allergic to it.
