How would people rate the new tempurpetic mattresses? Do you find them warm?

I had a water bed before and I really like my tempurpetic mattress. The only thing better would be a sleep by number bed and the only reason we didn't get one is that a king size one has two seperate mattresses in one and if you sleep in the middle you sleep on a hump. I do get warm sometimes in the tempurpetic but keep the ceiling fan on those nights and then it isn't bad. I think it uses the warmth of your body to mold the foam - so it retains your body heat. We got a pretty firm one... I wanted a softer one but lost. Now my husbands wishes we would have gotten softer mattress but I think ours is softening up the longer we have it because I sleep better and better in it as time goes on (we've had for about 2 years). If you want to try out a sleep by number... check the hotels either the Radisson and Marriott use them.
the tempurpetic mattress to me wasn't all that comfortable. my sister has one and i tried it out. i found myself continually trying to adjust my body to it during the night. that's the problem i think. it 's not stable and rarely does anyone sleep straight through in the same position. i stick to a firm mattress, not to hard but enough to support your body, especially your back. as for warmth, well depending on the weather you have to adjust yourself to the present conditions, including the mattress itself.
I LOVE my tempurpedic mattress! We bought it about 9months ago, and haven't had a bad night's sleep since. It did take about a month to get used to, and it was hella-expensive, but definitely worth the cost. I swear I will never buy another mattress. My allergy symptoms have improved, my back and neck never hurt in the morning anymore. Our old bed had 'taco-ed' and my husband and I used to roll into each other in the night, but now we never have to fight for mattress space; we each stay put.
We put ours on a solid platform, which can make it warmer. The latex is supposed to conduct air better for more comfortable sleeping tempuratures, but for that you really should lay it on slats.
It took me a while to get used to it because I did not like how much I sank down into it. So I tried using a mattress pad with it, and that has helped. It is warm, but that is a plus for me. It has eliminated my hip pain. If I sleep in a hotel or a relative's house, the pain comes back.
