Let me just list the problems.
 
1.  I don't think a glass of wine won't spill if you jump up and down like a crazed chimpanzee beside it.
 
2.  Who the hell sleeps directly on the memory foam??!  Without the luzury of covers either!  (is this a subliminal message that indicates once I buy this thing, I won't be able to afford sheets or comforters?)
 
3.  Uhm, I have NEVER in all my life encountered a situation where you sleep in a standard bed outside. 
 
4.  Who are these lovely couples that sleep spooned together all night?  Me and my husband my start out that way, but about 2 hours in, we are tossing, kicking, pillows being re-fluffed, rolling over....anything but spooned up like little bear cubs.

After half an hour in one position on a memory foam mattress, you might find out that you are locked into that position for the rest of the night. You sink in, and the foam in all directions molds itself, and you CAN'T move even if you want to! And the foam under you begins to take on all the cushy softness of granite. If you also have a memory foam pillow, it also takes on the characteristics of stone. Very much like any feather pillow I've ever tried.

Or at least, so was my short experience. YMMV.

I have one of those mattresses.  It is a bona fide tempurpedic, not a knock-off Bob-O-Pedic or anything like that.

A glass of wine WOULD spill, on ours.  I'm guessing that such stability is more a feature of the bed frame, but what the heck do I know.  If the other person flops over on our bed, it's like there's an earthquake.

When they're new, they feel like granite.  This is true for the pillows, as well.  Once they 'wear in' which is certainly going to be after the 90 return policy, they are more cushy.

You don't get the sunk-in-a-foam-rubber-valley effect until about 6-7 years of regular use.  The good news is, once you get there - it holds at that cushiness capacity for a few more years.

Oh, and: it's hot.

LOL - I have always made that same remark about these commercials! The same thing with the Sleep Number bed!

I bought a knock-off memory foam pillow once. As mentioned, it was both hot and hard as a brick. I ended up letting my dog use it.

Is that the one where they have some sort machine rhythmically  pound the hell out of the mattress? I always chuckle at that one. Good to know it can take a pounding eh.

I wonder that too. I mean all the sheets and comforters will still move so the other sleeper might still get woke up by that.

I've slept on that mattress for a few different nights and each time I woke up early because my back was killing me.  Whether I lay on my side or back, it was killing me.  Not to mention that mattress holds in too much body heat.  I'll take my 2000 dollar pillowtop conventional mattress any day.
