Any Tempurpedic Cloud Luxe owners out there?

Does anybody own one of these beds?  I laid on it for a while in the store and it was PERFECT but it's impossible to tell when you're in the store.  I ordered one from the Tempurpedic website so I get the 90 day in-home trial and if I don't like it I can change it out for another model.

I've had a double cervical fusion (C4-C6), a Lumbar Laminecotmy (L5-S1) that eventually failed and the disc toe open causing extreme pressure on my right sciatic neve.  The fusion surgery went great.  I had very little pain after the surgery but after physical therapy was over, I started having pain across the left side of my waist and down into my butt/hip and nothing I do will help relieve it for more than a few minutes.

So, since the Bragada memory foam bed I currently have has sagged in the middle despite being only 3 years old and I've been running on 3-4 hours of painful sleep a night for the last 2 yeras, I've decided to make an investment in the quality of my sleep by purchasing one of the best beds available.  

Any reviews on the Cloud Luxe, or advice on other models/pillows/sheets would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure if you can vouch for anything.  Avoid using a pillow?  I have a C4-C6 cervical fusion.  Are you an advocate of degenerative disc disease?  My orthopaedic surgeon would laugh at this "help" you have posted.

Local analgesic creams and Tylenol do not do anything to help radiculopathy from an L5-S1 fusion, especially when Norco/Percocet/Neurontin/Motrin are barely making a dent.

I hope you are not a doctor.

Hello and hope you are doing well.

Not sure if I can vouch for the type of bed, but ones with a firm flat surface, that support the natural curvature of the spine should help. Also, ensure to avoid using a pillow. However, certain lifestyle measures with physical therapy may help. Avoid those movements or exercises that aggravate your pain. Try not to lift weights or bend as this can worsen your symptoms. Try applying local analgesic creams. Place ice over the painful area every 1-2hrs for pain relief. Sleep on a firm surface with a pillow under the knees and take OTC pain medications like Tylenol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen. Ensure to take them after food.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
