Many people like the feel of viscoelastic mattresses, such as the Tempur-Pedic Classic, and medical experts and chiropractors do say the Tempur-Pedic foam bed can provide excellent spinal support, allowing your hips and… shoulders to sink into the bed while supporting your legs and waist. Proof that foam mattresses are healthier than traditional innerspring beds, however, is lacking. Owners also report that foam beds require some adjustment time. They aren't as "squishy" or plush as traditional mattresses, and some owners say the Tempur-Pedic can feel too firm in cold weather (since the foam reacts to room temperature). Other complaints include feeling "swallowed up" by the bed and that these mattresses trap body heat. Others, however, report great comfort with a foam bed. As with all mattresses, an in-store test is a good idea.
