Back in June 2006 we purchased a temper mattress from a chap who was the official supplier for Tempur products in Northern Cyprus. His name was "Olgun" and his email address was olgun@meditemcyprus.com whether it still is I honestly wouldn't know. Fortunately I didn't throw all the paper work away and can reliably inform you that the said mattress cost 1947 USD - which on the face of it doesn't sound good for you as I would imagine that our rate to the dollar was much better then than it is now. However we adore our mattress and makes our villa a home from home - worth every penny.

We have a 'bog standard' firm matress in TRNC and have brought a memory foam topper over from the UK - cost about £100, I think. We have a Tempur matress in the UK and this arrangement has the same effect. I agree with Karsiyakakid, wouldn't be without it.

Hi all,



I am not knocking tempur mattresses but I do think you are paying for the name. You can get a very good memory foam mattress for half the price. I am sure that mermaid fabrics have them.

it depends on WHY you want the mattress, tempur the molecules change when they come into contact with ypour body heat and give way thus you are fully supported.



Memory foam gives but returns tio shape the memory ones are ok for comfort but for any one with artritic od medical needs I would recommend the tempur ones.

I wonder if Tempur make 2 different types then? We looked into Tumpur before we came out, but when we explained where we were going and the heat, they called their head office and said they wouldn't recommend it because the heat the latex would contain would just make us even hotter.



They lost a sale but at least they were honest.

I had heard that they increase body temperature when we looked in to getting one...not what you need here in the summer months!



Has anyone who has a Tempur found this to be a problem?

Hi Littlenige.



I would like to purchase a memory foam mattress in Cyprus but I cannot use an electric blanket with the one I have in the UK. As everyone I have spoken to, says an electric blanket is a must in Cyprus in the winter. Can you use one with your tempur?

YATSAN is the most well known brand in Turkey for mattress.

They specialise in that:

We have a Tempur at home here in the uk . I find it extremely hot and unfortable in the warmer weather , i have to lie on top of the duvet rather than under it .
