I need 1) medium to firm 2) breathable (hot sleeper)

Most of all I need to not wake up with back pain

I have a Bear mattress that I love. Not sure longevity of it since it's only been like a year, but the price was good, it's incredibly comfortable, and I don't wake up hot.

That said, I have a cooling mattress cover on it (Tempurpedic, highly recommend), percale sheets, and a breeze comforter from Buffy with a eucalyptus cover. And a fan on me all night. This combo has been incredible for some of the deepest and most restful nights of sleep I've ever had.

The only downside is that it is very hard to get out of bed in the morning because I've made my bed too comfortable... Worth it

Adapt medium then . It’s is a med/firm and sleeps cool. I’ve slept on a bunch of latex/memory foam ones and they were too hot . The tempurpedics have been great keeping me cool

I have this one and it's the greatest bed of all time, absolutely worth every penny.

The tempurpedic I had also got hot. It was promoted as having cooling gel too. And it was top of the line.

Memory foam will get hot. It’s because of how it works and how it’s made. When you compress the foam, it becomes closer to being a solid, therefore will hold heat longer/better than a spring mattress where there is greater airflow.

Latex foam. I'm a hot side sleeper and just switched to a custom latex foam mattress from memory foam and will never go back.

I’ve heard of horror stories regarding Tempurpedics longevity and them honoring their warranty. Also, in my experience, the tempurpedic I had really messed up my back. Had to literally throw the $4000 I spent on it away because I woke up feeling like I was 80 years old. I just bought a $1500 traditional mattress from Costco and now I feel not a day older than 60.

I hated mine for 2 months or so. I had neck pain that entire time with almost no reprieve. Was convinced to stick it out and now I’m sad whenever I don’t get to sleep on one.

I don't know a single person who got a tempurpedic who doesn't regret their decision

We’ve had ours for two years and absolutely love it. My back pain that’s been plaguing me for years is gone and only comes back when I travel. To each their own.

Love mine, have for 20 years. About time to replace it, though.
