I hated it. It felt comfortable in the store to me as well, and having back problems... I figured why not? It comes with a 120-day trial. Once I got it home though, it took me about 3 nights to realize I hated it. Why? For one thing, the material really does what they say it does... it conforms to your body. This means two things:
1) You will sink into a cavity. Good luck trying to roll around. But supposedly thats the point. You're so relaxed and comfortable you don't need to turn. I hated it.
2) You are "surrounded" by mattress, so it can get warmer than a normal bed.
Other than that, pretty much everything you can read on the net is true. Its heavier than a normal mattress, has a distinct odor the first few days you have it, is firmer when cool, and softer as it warms up (room temperature AND your body). As far as the trial period, YMMV. I bought mine from a high(er) end furniture store with a 120 day trial. What they fail to mention on the commercials is that if you don't want it, they'll take it back.... but you pay to ship it back. For me that came to $150. I also got two tempurpedic pillows with it for "free", but since I returned the mattress, I ended up paying $80 for the both of them because they can't take back used pillows. All in all I'd say the reason I didn't like it is that I'm a stomach sleeper, and the bed is more befitting someone that sleeps on their back, or their side.
