Tempurpedic pillows from Brookstone.

I remember someone else had mentioned that they had a $100 Tempurpedic pillow from Brookstone that didn't seem to conform as well as it used to. That was my problem with one I had bought about 1-1/2 years ago from them. I just took it in, and was "testing" the demo they had out. Replacement was no problem, no questions from them at all.

They did mention that heat does have a negative effect on the Tempurpedics......and, I had also used mine in my car, as a back pillow, quite a bit, and left it in the heat. So, I won't be doing that anymore.

Anyway, my point is that Brookstone in Grapevine, TX had no problems/questions with my exchanging, without a receipt.

YMMV

Has anyone tried one of these memory foam pillows on a waterbed?

Currently my cat and I share a buckwheat cheapo from what is now BigLots (cost about $7 I think).

Just checked out Jack's 99 cent store in NYC across from Penn Station. They have tempupedic pillows for really cheap.
I think the standard size was 39.99. I am pretty sure these are the real thing. They felt heavy and well constructed.


Update. 19.99 for twin 29.99 for queen 39.99 king

Anyone buy one yet?

I don't know about the mattress but the topper is usually found on @bay. Mark's 1/2 price bedding and another store. If you already have a decent mattress the topper is all you'll need. I think another store's name is Memory Foam Superstore. They also have a 4" thick model.

I'm trying out an imation from Sams Wholesale Club.
It's OK but I think I would like it in a standard shape like the Carpenter pillow.

I am seriously considering a Smart Foam Pillow right now. Does anyone have any recommendations of a reputable seller from Ebay? I want to get a pillow that is more on the firm side and heavy also... Thanks for your help :)

MArks 1/2 price bedding, Memory foam superstore. Plus general auctions. Towards the beginning of this thread are some ebay guidelines if you're gonna purchase via auction.

I checked out the Smart Memory pillow at Costco yesterday. It costs about $35 and seems like really good quality. It's really heavy and dense for the price. I will probably purchase it today.... any last suggestions or tips before I buy?

Thanks

Anyone else have any thoughts on Smart Foam pillows before I make the plunge and buy one from Costco? I am also getting a mattress, anyone know of a cheap place to get a mattress?

ok, i went to Jack's 99 cent store yesterday. on the second floor, they have a bunch of 'tempur pillows'... unfortunately i don't think they are the real thing :(

i could be wrong, but i decided not to buy one. i'll prolly buy one from brookstone so i can get the 20 year replacement plan :)

Has anyone tried the topper/mattress yet? I'm thinking of getting this or this to go over my spring mattress, but I wanted some opinions first. Also, does anyone know if BB&B has the mattresses? I want to get an example of what it's going to feel like before I buy one of these
