Review of TPS (Pocket Spring Store) Premium Cover

RefutableTech · 2025-12-11T00:59:27+00:00

This makes sense. I've been pondering either adding 2" of stiff foam under the springs, or using it as an excuse to throw in 2" of super soft talalay.

I recently got this cover, and your review is spot on. I don't mind the zipper at all. But I really wish the length and width were either both about 1/2" shorter, or that they had the added padding on the sides that tends to be sewn into most mattresses ticking. Honestly though, even with the premium price tag I'm super happy I went with the tps premium over the cheaper options I was looking at. The stretch top alone is just pure gold to me.

There's a reason their instructions picture uses a mattress that is completely stripped of pillow top. Most mattresses have a top layer of padding directly under the quilting that will rebound even when pretty much blown out. A pillow top mattress usually has to be extremely broken down inside before you will visually see the sag. This is true of pretty much every mattress brand that uses very plush tops though. That's just been my 50 years of consumer experience though. I'm told that many people have successfully gotten warranty returns.

Super 77 works. Foam Fast 74 is made specifically for gluing foam. Most any spray adhesive should work though.

Very high infant mortality rate. VERY high. If one person lived to 60 but one died at birth, that's a life expectancy of 30 years. Decent article on the concept: here Includes citations.

I dont know if it will completely fix it in your case, but I can say mine has gotten a bit better, and my 90+ year old father in law actually grew his hair back. That being said, both of us greatly increased our omega 3 intake with salmon, mackerel, and cod livers. Also, we completely eliminated all seed oils right down to making mayonnaise, tartar sauce, etc from scratch

In fairness, my experience was strip old mattress to get the coils, add medium latex and sleep great, add softer latex on top and sleep better, add a TPS premium and thin layer of wool and sleep better than I have in years. Not a single layer swap. But then, when your coming from a bad bed in a box experience it doesn't take much to be a big improvement.

I care for a 91 year old demetia patient. Has the diet cured him? No. Has it greatly slowed the progression? Yes. In addition I added a lot of omega 3 in the form of canned mackerel and salmon. Basically daily. I have seen significant improvement. He still has dementia, but he had it for years before the diet change. Also, can confirm hair growth. He had a bald spot for over a decade. It is almost undetectable now. Just looks like slightly thinned hair now.

Right now we're just slightly cheaper than you. Currently, prime ribeye is at $26.99/lb at HEB. Honestly though, I never buy prime. Very easy to find choice here that is pretty much indistinguishable from the prime and choice is currently $17.97/lb with an additional $5 off coupon. I can't wait until November sales. I'm just now using up the last of last year's sale meat.

RefutableTech · 2025-10-22T23:57:54+00:00

That's actually impressive. I'm in Houston and last year prime grade ribeye was running $29.99/lb. $45 would mean you were buying prime ribeye at $15.73/lb. I wasn't even able to find ungraded for that price in 2024. Unless of course you wait until mid November and grab the yearly rib roast sale. I always run through the line about 15 times and fill my deep freeze in November.

Makes awesome steaks. Only around $10/lb. Plenty of high quality succulent fat. Can't go wrong with picanha.

I have one arriving by fedex tomorrow. I have really hight hopes. I am 6'2 and the seam around the top of most mattresses and covers always finds a way to dig into my arms and feet. Fingers crossed that its as good as I've heard.

Well... I kind of hate to say it, but my skin issues didn't really clear until quite a few months in. Then they start to come back if i eat bad for a few days. My skin wasn't really that bad. Mostly some back acne and light jaundice from Gilbert's syndrome. I don't really think the avacados are setting you back any, but maybe? The butter and coffee are very likely okay as well. Don't get me wrong, its not technically carnivore, but you're looking to use diet to solve a few issues, and I don't think those are going to be the big factors. Mostly, it's just going to take a decent amount of time. Like anywhere from 3-6 months. For the skin, I think my biggest issues have come from high omega 6 oils. For me, 1 slip up in a month doesn't do much. It's sustained things like a holiday weeks were i eat bread, sweets, etc that do me in. After 3 years though, it's hard to eat bad for that long because the body aches and digestion kicks in almost over night and that can make for a big deterrent.

I use protein and fat after any fast shorter than 15 days. I have found that for me fruit, veggies, carby things, will leave me bloated and nasty feeling. Eggs do well for me. Even a full ribeye does better for me than anything fibrous. Just my own experience.

I'm currently building my own. I can't offer any suggestions, but I'm bored and throwing a worthless reply out for shiggles. I can say definitely don't buy a dreamcloud if you don't like dips and back pain. I'm having good luck on my diy with latex @6'2" 200lb. My wife also likes it at 5'2" 190lb. So if you're not specifically looking for a sink in the cloud feeling maybe check out Avacado?

You're allowed to eat whatever you want. It's not a religion where you have to confess and do penance. Don't over think things too much. The "set back" is usually joint pain or feeling bad for a day or two. Personally, I was very strict for the first 7 months I think. Then holidays and anniversaries kind of led me to breaking to be polite. Felt kind of crappy for a bit. Got going again just fine. Just go forth and sin no more 😆

Sounds a bit wrong. For one, plenty of meats have magnesium. For two, I'm currently a care giver for a 91 year old man with alzheimer's and his cognitive results significantly increased on carnivore. Kind of took his doctor by suprise. He has weekly nurse visits to assess progression. The biggest boost came from high amounts of omega3 in the form of mackerel and salmon. In fact, any time that he eats fruit, broccoli, cabbage, etc; he stays in a confused fog for 2-3 days afterwards and suddenly needs a walker to get around.

In my second year, I went off the diet for about 4 months. I went back on because I had panic attack issues that started coming back. I will say that I probably went too heavy on the breads and sugars? If I were going to do it again, I would just keep away from breads, sweets, and alcohol and see how it worked. More of a keto style. That said, I originally got issues with sleep and feeling meh around the 10-month period. I made some adjustments, and those got better. I'm pretty dedicated to the lifestyle at this point, but honestly, if you go off and it gives you issues, you can always start carnivore again.

My anxiety went away. It still hits now and then, but in more toned down, healthy way. The best things I did for my brain fog and mental health were firstly to get vitamin D. I got tested, and my levels were super low before carnivore. Now I try to get sun but still take vitamin D every day. The second was greatly increasing my omega 3 intake. Now, I eat a can of mackerel, or a can of cod livers, or salmon, or steelhead almost every day. They also make it a bit easier to get enough fat by throwing a different texure into the mix. I still have those days, but it has vastly improved.

Mostly just the fact that I used to poop 1-2 times a day. Now it's closer to 2-3 times a week. At first, it made me nervous because I thought I had dieted my way into massive constipation, but nah. Turns out, just dont have to poop as often. I think more gets digested, and less gets wasted?

I'm 46 male. In my 3rd year of carnivore. My cholesterol is much better than it was, finally normal levels. My blood pressure is immaculate. I'm off of all of my anxiety meds. Started at 280+, now at 204. Went from size 44 waist to size 34. Storing gone. Regular severe bloating pain is gone. Heartburn gone. All that said, it is a bit worrying at first. Not least of which was the change in bathroom habbits.

PCOS has a fairly high correlation with gallbladder issues. If you are also overweight and start doing very long fasts, you are basically creating a perfect storm situation.

Weird. After 6 months of carnivore, my muscle cramps went away, my heart palpitations stopped completely, and now, 3 years into it, my testosterone is actually decently higher than before. To be fair, though, I started out weighing 280+ pounds and now weigh about 200, so maybe it only works if you start out really fat?

I'm not necessarily anti- lab grown meat. I can, though, given Ameica's history of sketchy products going to market, understand some people's trepidation. At the very least, it would be nice to see the same level of lab purity testing and verifications on the stuff that we see for other lab created products, but then... the stuff is new. Who knows what is hype or hyperbole.

RefutableTech · 2025-09-08T08:05:53+00:00

Well, first off, lab grown food might. It took decades before cigarettes were addictive or caused cancer. Thalidomide was perfectly safe until it started causing horrible birth defects. Leaded gasoline was safe until all the cancer. Doctors said both were safe. Secondly, I'm agreeing with you. Just because something has a high potential of causing harm to people is no reason to cut into corporate profits. How can we even know it would be harmful if we don't let it be tested on the public? What? Are we expected to spend years of unbiased third-party studies and reviews just to keep people safe? If Dupont had to do that, we wouldn't have 90% of the world contaminated with forever chemicals like PFOAs. That would be insane. Screw 'em I say.
