We own a real Tempurpedic mattress in our home so we know what the real thing feels like. I purchased these mattresses for two platform beds that we purchased to furnish our condo. It is a little daunting to purchase mattresses online without ever laying on them so I relied heavily on prior reviews. After reading how the firm was downright hard, and medium was firm, I chose to go with the soft. So far, I am glad I did. They arrived rolled up and each weighed about 45 lbs - not too bad to move, especially in the rolled up state. We put them on the beds and while others have stated that you need to stay off them for 48 hrs to allow them to expand, I feel that you do not need to wait that long - a few hours is sufficient. We have only had them for a few weeks so the jury is still out as far as durability and long-term comfort, but so far, these seem to be great.
