I bought a tempur-pedic earlier this year and I have to say it's the best sleep I've ever had. I used to toss and turn during the night and I usually had back pain in the mornings, but not with the tempur-pedic. I get uninterrupted sleep and no morning back pain.
My previous mattresses were decent spring types and they were comfortable, but nothing compared to the tempur-pedic.
I have chronic back pain (torn muscles, annual lumbar tear, now bulging, etc). It worked great for several years, but, for some with back pain a more stiff matress (or a very light foam cover on the floor) seems to be the most beneficial. This is what I am transitioning too.
Also, Tempure Pedics (and most foams) tend to retain heat, person dependant, a lot. So much that I'll wake in hot-sweats and uncomfortable. I am now also seeking alternatives because 1) Tempur is too hot, 2) Tempur has become too soft for my needs.
A foam "cover" on the floor is working much better at the moment.
Also in the interim, for cooling down the foam, I have ordered:
