When it comes to visco-elastic memory foam mattresses the "GrandBed" by Tempur-Pedic is heaven on earth. Their TEMPUR-HD which is a higher density formula than the standard TEMPUR material creates a pliable sleeping surface that contours and shape that presses into it. Additional TEMPUR cells across the sleep surface conform to every curve and angle of your body with exacting precision, providing even more support, greater pressure relief and unsurpassed durability. The base of the Tempur-Pedic GrandBed features their patented AirFlow System Base Layer which provides support to TEMPUR layers and increases air circulation. One other characteristic that memory foam mattresses have over conventional inner spring mattresses is the inability of bed bugs and dust mites to live in the foam. The GrandBed is available online or from authorized Tempur-Pedic dealers nation wide. Queen 60 x 80 $5,999 King 76 x 80 $6,699 CA King 72 x 84 $6,699

It never ceases to amaze me the number of products that can be made from bamboo. The bedding is made from pulverized bamboo where the fiber is turned into fabric. The feel of the fabric is "silky" and sports a whopping 250 thread count. Like cotton, bamboo fabric breathes allowing a fair amount of temperature control and human comfort as a result. There are four colors available: flax, sand, white, and aqua. Pricing: queen sets - $189; king sets $239. Buy product: here.
