    Oh yeah, now that you've already purchased it, I forgot to tell you about the only problem I have with ours. On my side of the bed only, the sheet at the top corner always pulls off, so in the morning, the bare mattress is showing. Drives me crazy. I don't know if it has anything to do with the sagging frame or not, since my side of the bed is also the side with the broken, sagging, box spring.

    You waited to tell me until I bought on purpose...didn't you?!

    We've had this bed at two different locations, and I don't think it did it at the last place we lived at. I think it has to do with the saggy box spring, even though it sags at the opposite end. I need to hurry up and pay my cousin to make me a base with drawers in it. Then I could take all my sock/underwear drawers out of my closet and put my reloading stuff in there. Box springs are such a waste of space.

    Agreed, it seems that I am always looking for a better way to store things and always trying to make the best use of space. Drawers under the bed woud be a nice touch.

    None-the-less I am really looking forward to getting this bed. I have had the same crappy mattress for eight years that I bought from IKEA when I was stationed back east. It seems like everytime I want to buy a new bed something comes up. I wanted to wait until the wedding in July to buy another bed but my back is killing me and my fiance's neck is always hurting so it was time to get it.

    A little late but;

    I loved the tempur pedic for the first week. After that we both grew to hate it. Actually traded back to my old cheap mattress after a year. She complained of her hips hurting and my lower back didn't like it.

    We also had the stupid sheet pulling off thing irving has though it's got nothing to do with the box spring (ours sat on a storage compartment).

    We've slept on a friends sleep number and both really liked it.

    The other thing about the Tempur-pedic, is that it seems like it is almost the same size as a king mattress, but not exactly. Sheets seem to have fitment issues.

    I still really like sleeping on mine though Kev. Don't be nervous about the purchase until after you try it.

    KevDen,

    We had the same problem with our memory mattress, the sheets didn't fit quite right. My wife will be up in an hour or so I'll ask her how she solved the problem.
