Trying Stuff: The Rhapsody Bed by Tempur-Pedic, Part 2

Topics: Fibromylagia, My Network, Reviews, Sleep, Trying Stuff

I don’t take naps.  The rea­sons are twofold.  I typ­i­cally can­not fall asleep (despite being exhuasted) and, if I do fall asleep, I hate how I feel when I wake up.  I think about all I could have accom­plished instead of sleep­ing.  And I swear I always feel more tired than before the nap.  Despite my dis­like of naps, this new mat­tress has me tempted to reconsider…

Every­one I’ve talked to who owns a Tempur-Pedic mat­tress has said nearly the same thing.  They’ve warned me not to let the first two weeks deter­mine how I felt about the mat­tress.  They’ve told me the mat­tress is a bit smelly and stiff at first.  They’ve even sug­gested we invite folks to jump on it to soften it.  And, while I rec­og­nize our mat­tress is a lit­tle stiff and a lot smelly, it’s pretty much the best thing ever.  I’ve slept won­der­fully and woken up with a min­i­mum of pain.k8loveslots

Jump­ing on the mat­tress is like run­ning on sand.  Daniel and I didn’t last five min­utes before our thighs were sore.  Rolling over is quite like jump­ing on the mat­tress, in that it’s like rolling over on sand.  The mat­tress doesn’t pro­vide any spring.  I’m pretty sure my obliques are going to love this mat­tress as much as the rest of me.  Or, I’m going to love my obliques as much as I love the mat­tress.  I hope.

On a more seri­ous note, both my hus­band and I love the mat­tress.  We look for­ward to falling asleep.  I even looked for­ward to our Sun­day After­noon Nap.  It’s even moti­vated us to make the bed each day.  I will keep you posted on my fibromyal­gia and my mattress.

My Vote: I (like the Arthri­tis Foun­da­tion) have lots of love for the Rhap­sody Bed, by Tempur-Pedic.
