Therapur vs Tempur Mattresses

I purchased this bed as a necessity following admission to hospital. I suffer from arthritis in my 5th, 6th and 7th vertebrae as well as my back, which means I have to have a really good bed to meet my needs. Neither can I lie on a bed which has buttons. I also suffer from night sweats and even though my last bed was cooling, it does not compare. Even with the Dreams mattress protector this bed still has the cooling effect, which I haven’t found elsewhere. The temperature control is a big issue for me Having trawled round various well known bedding shops I was very reluctant to buy as I was concerned that I would not be able to change it if I found it not to be suitable. Eventually I ended up at Dreams whom I understood now to be part of the Tempur group. The lady assistant could not have been more helpful and her customer service was impeccable. Having already tried so many beds I was very sceptical. I was surprised to find that the one I chose seemed to meet all my needs and was reasonably priced for such a high quality bed. The assistant reassured me that if I had any problems I could return it. The delivery was great and the men could not have been more helpful, contacting me at each stage. My first few nights I thought I was going to have to return it but after that the bed seemed to settle quickly and I have slept better than before. Since then I can honestly say that I have not woken in the night with pain in my back as a result of my bed. I am delighted with my new bed and would highly recommend. I purchased the pillows recommended to me too for my arthritic neck and to date I have not woken in the night or in the morning with bad neck pain. I could not be more delighted with my purchases from Dreams.

I am a hot sleeper and suffer from Night Terrors if I get too warm while sleeping. I have to sleep with a fan on every night. I bought this duvet as it is a lower TOG than my old one and this is better quality. The Duvet is well made, the outer fabric is soft and it is stitched in sideways columns, this helps prevent the filling from moving around too much . It is light to the point where sometimes it feels like there is no duvet on you but it still keeps you warm (I cannot feel the air from the fan go through the duvet) It took me a few nights to get used to the lighter weight but its so much cooler and I am finding myself sleeping better. I have combined this duvet with 400 Thread count, cotton duvet covers and fitted sheet in an attempt to further reduce overheating while sleeping. I recommend this duvet to anyone who prefers to be cool while sleeping, It is light and well made but can still keep you warm on the cold nights. If you are not a fan of light duvets then I'd recommend either getting a higher TOG Duvet or find a light/medium weighted blanket to go on top.

We purchased a king size divan base and attachable headboard in store and, in summary, the store experience, the product, and the delivery process and all of the related pre delivery information have been excellent ... with just one niggle resulting in a less than 5 star review. This relates to the matching attachable headboard which also looks great and is excellent quality like the divan Ottoman base. That said, despite the delivery guys, who assembled everything, chocking the headboard as far from base as they could, the headboard still sits over the top of the base by about an inch. This results in the king sized mattress (that should fit perfectly) being pushed an inch down the base and hence results in the mattress overhanging the bottom of the divan base by just over an inch. It's not end of the world stuff but seems a pretty basic design flaw and, in our mind, results in the made up bed looking just that bit odd due to this small overhang.

I searched for weeks in different shops looking for a bed that would, suit my needs and give me a good nights sleep. O have a back problem and a lung disease which causes me to have difficult nights, I'm restless and can never get comfortable at night to sleep. I finally found the one, the one bed that had not only given me the ability to feel relaxed and comfortable but i SLEEP. This is a big deal to me ,as i can sometimes go several night without any. The bed mattress exterior in a lovely soft light padding, and although the mattress is class as soft its still firm enough, that it allows my spine the correct position. I feel the mattress almost cuddles me up as i sink in to it . I also got it at a slightly reduced price in the sale. Thank you Dreams so much.

I decided to buy a new bed the day I was having a flare-up of my symptoms in the belief that if it was comfortable then; it would be perfect for me. My first night with my new bed was incredible. I adjusted the matress with the remote control so my head and back felt completely cosseted; then I adjusted the foot of the bed until my feet felt weightless. I fell into a deep sleep and awoke in the morning pain-free and unbelievably comfortable. The Therapur matress had prevented me from waking up feeling sticky which was a real bonus. I’d wanted an electric bed for so very long. The comfort this bed provides excelled my expectations and does so night after night. I’m so very tempted to crawl back in morning after morning! It’s made my bed dreams come true!

OK, so having broken my back 40 years ago, I’ve spent a fair chunk of my disposable income on different mattresses and beds, latex, pocket sprung, Vi-Spring - you get my drift. Sadly, none of these gave me exactly the correct amount of support in the places where this was crucial to getting a peaceful, restful and refreshing night’s sleep. Fast-forward to our visit to “Dreams” at Plympton. Joy of joys! No pressure, no salesperson hovering over us as we tried to adopt unrealistic “sleeping” poses. Just oodles of time to lie down, turn and try out each mattress (after first addressing our mattress needs using “Dreams” wonderful mattress assessment technology. We spent hours (no really, over 3 hours) testing our final three mattress choices. These were soon whirled down to a leading favourite and a strong contender. After a delicious complimentary cup of excellent coffee, it was back to the rigours if serious testing. This one had everything we wanted: more importantly, despite my best efforts, I couldn’t find a single flaw with this mattress (and I went shopping armed with an extensive “Nit-Pick” list). So there you have it. In my humble opinion, this is probably the world’s best mattress. Expensive? Nothing like the cost of my last mattress which was a Vi-Spring. You’ll spend one-third of your life on a mattress, so don’t skimp on the testing nor the price and buy this mattress - it will be one of the best’ no-risk investments you’ll ever make.

I purchased this mattress a couple of months ago; having had our previous mattress for well over 8 years. Both myself and my partner prefer a firmer density in mattress, but not overly firm so it feels hard, and one that helps keep us cool. We started looking at various types; ruling out the cheap ones as they were horribly uncomfortable especially with their spring base. Eventually; we came to this one. The mattress is firm but not overly hard. The foam is at the perfect density for us - it moves and adapts to your body to help support you where you need it. We’re both happy with our choice and find it difficult to sleep on anything else. A word of caution - this was advertised as coming with a ‘cooling’ layer, which was great in the showroom. However, in real life circumstances - with a bottom sheet and protector on - there is no real benefit from the cooling layer. Don’t base your choice to buy the mattress solely on that. Another word of caution - the first few nights with this were dreadful. We expected to go to sleep on it and immediately drop off and feel like we were on a cloud. The first couple of nights were uncomfortable and it took a while to get used to, especially having not hadn’t a memory foam mattress before. Stick with it though - it’s an excellent mattress overall

I was initially a little pressed to select the Sensation Elite and the Sensation extra firm from Dreams. We found the extra firm, which we’ve always preferred, made it hard to move about with more resistance and actually had a little more roll together problem. The Sensation Elite minimises roll together a lot, and so much better than other non-Tempur mattresses. I love the top cover and that soft depress but firm and slower ‘bounce-back’. After a couple of weeks of use, my shoulder pains are gone. I no longer wake up with shoulder pains. My back pains are mostly gone, all I have now is ‘muscular’ pain, which I presume is from the adjustment. I trialled 2 other bed in a box brands and both gave terrible back pain as they were all medium or medium firm ie. Too soft for me. My partner is not so sure, she likes it but there is something she doesn’t like although I can’t figure out what. What I would like to see for this kind of money, which should be essential; 1. Add handles on all 4 sides. It was very difficult to manoeuvre it without. This seems standard on many other mattresses. 2. Add some edge strengthening so it gains some composure when you sit on the edge.

Whilst this is an expensive mattress, it is worth every penny. Having always had pocket sprung mattresses in the past, I was sceptic about switching to a memory foam mattress. Whilst the initial experience is something that you may not be accustom to, it only took a day or two to before getting use to the different (but nice) feeling when lying on the bed. Whether you lie on your back or side, your body profiles into the mattress with ease, but without getting that sinking feeling (I opted for a firm mattress). The "CoolTouch" layer on the mattress does appear to truly regulate your body temperature - initially the mattress feels cool and with time, it gets warmer to your own body temperature without getting uncomfortable. The "Cooltouch" layer (unique to Dreams) was one of the main reason (comfort being the other) for purchasing this mattress. The only downside to this mattress is that it has no handles around the sides to allow you to lift and rotate the mattress. The mattress is heavy, but it is possible to rotate it with two people - if this minor inconvenience (hence 4 stars instead of 5) is not a major concern to you, I definitely recommend this mattress.

After 30 years of insomnia with neck, shoulder and back pain and just "putting up with it" after spending £100s on "revolutionary" pillows and mattresses we'd had enough. Went to Dreams on bank holiday Monday and left feeling ill at spending so much on another matress! But I thought at least we have 100 nights risk free if it didn't help. It arrived super fast on the Saturday and I can not stress the incredible affect it has had on our lives......it literally moulds to you the minute you lay down (lightly to feel comfortable) it has stopped my constant tossing and turning and supports my joints and I can actually put my feet straight onto the floor without pain in my ankles and feet as I've had for the last 2 years on our EVE mattress. I literally had to shuffle around to get going before!! Im getting at least 6 hours sleep which has lifted my anxiety as I have the energy to get straight on with my day. My husband's lower back and knee pain has also disappeared and he agrees this has been a well worthy purchase. It has has completely changed our lives. Do not hesitate...it is is the best investment you can make for your health. Thank you Tempur
