Pretty soon we'll have "copper infused burgers." Yet another scam to get money from gullible people. Should be grouped with weight loss pills and pills to make your, ummm, organ, 18" longer and 8" thicker. May as well gnaw on copper pipes.

Copper Compression Sleeves and Pain Relief - Consumer Reports

From above linked article:
The only hitch? There’s little to no reliable scientific evidence that the copper/compression combo does what manufacturers are claiming. Which is why Tommie Copper and its founder Thomas Kallish agreed to pay $1.35 million to settle Federal Trade Commission charges that they deceptively advertised their copper-infused garments that are priced between $29.50 and $69.50. The proposed federal court order imposes an $86.8 million judgment, which will be partially suspended upon payment of $1.35 million by the defendants.

I agree, but why single out and prosecute Tommie Copper? There are so many bogus health claims and products on the market that the FTC could pay off the National debt if they fined all of them.

Are you implying the GREEN TEA infused mattress I bought from Amazon was joke? LOL

HIGHLY recommend you try out both temperpedic (if you both like the same firmness) and the sleep number bed if you are of different desires on firmness of your mattress. If it is a shared bed, and either one of you have specific issues (leg swelling, back problems or GERD/breathing issues) that would require mattress adjustment without disturbing your partners sleep position, get the split type so both can have as required for the best nights sleep.

Temperpedic was superseded years ago, I’m afraid. It’s not what it once was. In a recent study in Consumer Reports, the highest-rated Temperpedic got a score of only 67 out of 100. The top-rated, Avocado Green, scored 85. The second, Casper Original, scored 81. (I have a Casper and found it too hard. I added two inches of soft memory foam to the top and improved it a lot.). Actually, though, I’ve bought a couple memory foam mattresses at Sam’s Club for a couple hundred dollars each and had guests rave about how comfortable they are. They come compressed in a sealed plastic bag in a relatively small box. When you remove the bag, the mattress grows. Fun to watch. And the price is right.

After trying many mattresses I find the best thing is to get a firm mattress but put a good memory foam topper on it for a comfortable sleep.

We love our bed from Relax in Comfort in LSL. Sure it’s more expensive, but it suits all my husband’s constantly changing back issues and will last the rest of our lives. Components can be replaced if needed.

Do the singles make the mattress more firm?
