TPX - I took my own advice and took a look at Jordan's (Berkshire Hathaway company :P) mattress lineup:

jordans.com

Within the foam mattress category, TPX is expensive. I wouldn't pay so much for mattress, but then I am cheap (see "Value Investor" :P)). There are cheap competing Jordan's mattresses and Sealy mattresses that are as expensive as Tempur Pedic. Jordan's does not list any other competitors mattresses in foam category.

Also it looks like TPX sells only foam mattresses:

jordans.com

This may be drawback if people are drawn to other mattress types. I know that springs are supposed to be "passe", but you never know where and how tastes go. If there is some new spring-based innovations Tempur Pedic may lose. There are also "natural", "eco", etc. mattresses where Tempur Pedic does not compete.

So just a bit of online scuttlebutt. :)
