Sams club carries night therapy, nature's sleep and aerus memory foam beds.
Are any of these at all comparable to tempurpedic?
Costco carries Novaform and that's close to Tempurpedic. I have a few friends that have them and they swear by them. We're going to be picking one up w/i a month as well.
I am a buyer for Sleep Innovations (who makes Costco's Pure Comfort Novaform brand and Sam's Tempsoma brand) and purchase the raw materials that go into the mattresses. After learning about memory foam, I would take our mattresses over Tempurpedics by a landslide. Tempurpedic hasn't changed the formula for their foam in quite a long time; a great portion of their revenue goes toward advertising which helps drive the $2-4K pricetag. Our R & D people are always working on new foam formulations such as CoolMax, gel, and other types of foam that "breathes."The downside is that we're a low cost provider and you really don't have much to go on other than the sample display in the stores that you can feel. These are bed in a box mattresses, and the Costco one is actually $100 off until Sunday in the store. This is a smooth top mattress, and the Sam's one is a really nice quilted cover. These are 12" mattresses, and we have an 11" mattress on Overstock.com under the Serta name that is very similar to Sam's, is a great deal at between $4-500 for a Queen, and is shipped for like $2.95. Awesome deals, just look at the reviews!
With foam though- you have to be patient for a day or two for the foam to recover to its shape as well as deal with the slight smell of the foam. Not a big deal.
Sorry to pimp my employer but I feel it's my duty to save my fellow FBG $1500 to $2000 with a mattress as good or better the Tempurpedic.
