I can see my house from here!

So, I got two free Tempurpedic Symphony pillows with the purchase of the mattress. Does anybody actually use these things? The material is great, but they're what, a foot thick?! Using one feels like I'm propping my head up on a couch. They're great for watching TV, but I have yet to use one for sleep for more than about 5 minutes. I seriously wonder how anybody could sleep on one of these through the night. I suppose if you like your chin touching your chest or your ear touching your shoulder, etc. I'm quite sure that if you tried to sleep on your stomach on one, you'd spend the entire next day staring at your own butt. Eesh.

Bamboo Luxury

The new Tempurpedic demanded new sheets. I didn't really have to think long about what I wanted for it. In fact, maybe I bought the new bed just so I could justify new sheets. Nah. ;) I picked up some 300TC bamboo sheets at a kiosk in the mall. Went there because I knew they were cheap. ($69 for Queen.) Unfortunately they only had baby blue and white... and I don't do white sheets.

They are, in a word, divine! I've had some 700TC cotton sheets on the bed for the past few months, and the bamboo sheets are just so much softer and nice. They definitely lend themselves nicely to the "Cloud" experience. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for some superbly soft sheets. The big question is "how well will they hold up over time?" Only time will tell.

Tempurpedic Tempur-Cloud

Well, after tiring of suffering through back pain with my old, wanna be memory foam mattress, I broke down (broke is the key word here, folks) and got a Tempurpedic bed. The bed of my dreams. How do I like it?

Well, let's just say that I hope it gets better before the 30 day trial period is up. The first few nights have been rather torturous. I am hoping it's just my body adapting to more proper support. The Tempur-Cloud differs from the Classic Tempurpedic mattresses in that it has a lighter weight memory foam for the top layer, thus making it softer, but supposedly having the same support.

I've slept on the Classic in the past and loved it. I'm hoping the new Cloud isn't TOO soft because I'd not like to go through the process of returning it. Better that than being uncomfortable, though.
