My wife and I got a Select Comfort. We both love it. I recommend it
highly, and definitely will never go back to a traditional matress. Paid
about 1500 for it (queen size) at the home show here in Atl. We looked
at
the TP matress and loved it, but the one main difference was that the SC
can
be unzipped and thrown in the wash if the pillow top gets dirty, where no
other matress that I've ever seen can be cleaned.

And BTW, you only hear a slight clicking noise for about 1 minute after
you
change your firmness setting. You don't hear a motor run every now and
then during the night.

We bought a Tempurpedic and have been using it for about three weeks.
The
wife
loves it. I found myself waking up sweating. After about three nights, I
woke up
itching badly. Thought maybe bed bugs were in the foam. This kept
getting
worse,
with a rash all around the trunk area (which happens to be the area that
'sinks'
deepest into the foam. After about ten days the rash was spreading up my
back
and sides, itching like mad.

Yesterday the doctor diagnosed 'contact dermatitis (sp?). Nothing in my
lifestyle has changed, except for the TP mattress. Last night I slept in
guest
room. No waking up, no itching, no new rash, and the old rash seems to
have
dissipated somewhat.

So. Be sure you get a decent guarantee. We bought the mattress and the
adjustable bed as a 'deal' ($3500 - a deal??) The adjustable bed portion
of the
deal is not returnable. Caveat emptor.

Anyone have suggestions on a good mattress?

Thanks, Jack. That's the one the wife's interested in. The problem now is
getting the money back from Joanne's Bed and Back!
