TEMPUR-Pedic Reviews (2020)

TEMPUR-Pedic is known for their high-end line of memory foam mattresses. The company transformed the industry more than two decades ago when they took memory foam mattresses mainstream.  The foam used was originally developed for NASA as a material to cushion aircraft seats but was introduced to consumers through the TEMPUR-Pedic mattress brand in 1992.

The company went public in 2003 and then merged with Sealy Corporation in 2012.  Currently, they are manufacturing in their factories in Virginia, New Mexico, and El Salvador.

The brand is now synonymous with memory foam and it has continued to have major success. They currently offer five types of mattresses:

• TEMPUR-Adapt
• TEMPUR-ProAdapt Series
• TEMPUR-LuxeAdapt Series
• TEMPUR-PRObreeze Series
• TEMPUR-LUXEbreeze Series

These TEMPUR-Pedic reviews will take a look at the collection of their mattresses as a whole. We’ll include who we think should consider a TEMPUR-Pedic bed and which series and model people might be interested in.

We also have detailed breakdowns for each series that people can check out once they have a good idea of which one might be right for them.

We’ll dive into every detail in a layer-by-layer breakdown of the current TEMPUR-Pedic mattress collection.

TEMPUR-Adapt

The TEMPUR-Adapt line is the most basic option available and comes in an all-foam option with a medium feel or a hybrid version with a medium feel.

Both support levels are 11” tall and are priced at $2,199 for a Queen. They both feature a premium knit cover and a layer of TEMPUR-ES. TEMPUR-Pedic describes this as a softer formulation of TEMPUR material that delivers a balance of soft comfort with responsive support. All hybrid options are developed with 1,000+ premium spring coils designed in-house to work with all TEMPUR-Pedic materials.

Mattress Layers

TEMPUR-Adapt mattresses come in Medium or Medium-Hybrid; here’s a breakdown of each layer.

Medium Hybrid

TEMPUR-ProAdapt Series

The TEMPUR-ProAdapt series of mattresses come in four options: Soft, Medium, Medium Hybrid & Firm. Each mattress is 12″ in height and priced at $2,999 for a Queen mattress.

The Pro-Adapt models all feature some advanced technology from TEMPUR-Pedic, namely TEMPUR APR material, resulting in models that offer 20% more pressure relief compared to TEMPUR-Adapt. These mattresses also have something different on their covers, the SmartClimate™ System. TEMPUR-Pedic describes this as a zip-off option with “moisture-wicking fibers in the cover fabric and SmartClimate™ treatment for the cool-to-the-touch comfort.”

TEMPUR-LuxeAdapt Series

The TEMPUR-LuxeAdapt takes the TEMPUR-Pedic up another notch and offers all-foam options in Soft and Firm support levels. They’re both 13” deep and priced at $3,6999 for a Queen.

There are some similar layers, including the SmartClimate™ System and TEMPUR-ES materials but there is also a new contouring support laver, called TEMPUR-APR+. This layer is described as having all of the pressure relief of original TEMPUR-APR but with 30% more conforming support.

TEMPUR-LuxeAdapt offers two all-foam options in Soft and Firm; here’s a breakdown of each layer.

TEMPUR-PRObreeze Series

The entire TEMPUR-breeze collection, including the PRObreeze and the LUXEbreeze, is designed specifically to pull excess heat away from the body and also out of the mattress.

In terms of the PRObreeze series, there is a Medium option and Medium-Hybrid option, designed to sleep 3 degrees cooler than the basic TEMPUR-Adapt model. Both support levels are 12″ tall and priced at $3,999 for Queen. The cooling layers that are built on top of the support layers in this mattress feature technology like Phase Change Material and a new TEMPUR-CM+™ material that allows the heat and humidity normally trapped under the covers to be cycled out of the mattress, according to TEMPUR-Pedic.

TEMPUR-LUXEbreeze Series

The TEMPUR-LUXEbreeze mattress series is the by far the “coolest” literally of all the TEMPUR-Pedic mattress offerings. It’s designed to sleep 8 degrees cooler than the TEMPUR-Adapt line. This is made possible with Phase Change Technology and other technology and design features in the most advanced TEMPUR-Pedic materials available.

Similar to the TEMPUR-PRObreeze mattresses, these have specific cooling layers on top of the support layers. the LUXEbreeze line is all-foam and comes in Soft and Firm support layers. Both feature the exact same materials but the overall support of the foam varies, making it feel either soft or firm.

Sleepers will see the PURECOOL+™ Phase Change Material incorporated and the TEMPUR-CM+™ material mentioned previously as well as the addition of a ventilated APR® layer, the most pressure-relieving option available with airflow promotion thanks to air channels; both mattresses are 13″ tall and priced at $4,699 for Queen.

The Soft and Firm options are made with the same materials but the actual feel of each mattress will differ; here’s a breakdown of the layers.

Who Should Be Interested In Tempur-Pedic Mattresses

There is a lot to like about TEMPUR-Pedic mattresses, including their pressure-relieving features and conforming support.

Those Who Prefer The Contouring Feel of Memory Foam

Memory foam beds are not for everybody but those who enjoy the feel of memory foam really tend to like it a lot. I would only look at TEMPUR-Pedic if people are specifically seeking out memory foam.  If people aren’t sure, try and test out a memory foam mattress that’s available to them and see if they enjoy the feel.  If people do, then any one of the TEMPUR-Pedic mattresses could be a great fit for them.

Someone Looking For Pain Reduction

The mattresses are great at providing pain relief and that’s a big reason people love TEMPUR-Pedic. The high-quality memory foam reduces the pressure points, allowing for a comfortable sleeping experience that doesn’t hurt the hips, shoulders, or neck.

At the same time, their collection of models, especially the higher density models, do a great job of conforming to the contours of a person’s body.  That promotes spinal alignment and ensures the back can be in its natural, healthy position throughout the night.  If people are looking for a mattress that can provide pain reduction, TEMPUR-Pedic might be a good place to look.

Someone Who Has Trouble Sleeping Smoothly Sleep Throughout The Night

TEMPUR-Pedic mattresses do an especially good job of relieving pressure points.  People tend to wake up in the middle of the night when there is too much pressure on either the hips, back, or shoulders.  People will wake up with soreness or the feeling of numbness because of that pressure. The brand does a great job of addressing this issue, and most people will sleep better throughout the night as a result.

Couples

TEMPUR-Pedic does an especially good with motion transfer (especially the higher density models).  So if peopel sleep with a partner and that person moves around in the bed, they likely will not be disturbed by that movement.  This can really improve the overall quality of sleep for both partners. TEMPUR-Pedic mattresses are frequently one of our top picks when it comes to great mattresses for couples.

Who Might Not Want To Get A Tempur-Pedic Mattress?

There is no universal “best mattress” for everyone; in some instances, a TEMPUR-Pedic mattress may not be the best fit.

Those Who Are Used To The Traditional Innerspring Feel

Generally speaking, people tend to either love or hate the feeling of memory foam.  There are “memory foam people” and those who just don’t like the feeling.  The traditional innerspring (steel coil) feel is quite different from what people get from most TEMPUR-Pedic models  If people prefer a more traditional style mattress that includes an innerspring coil system, they can look at a TEMPUR-Pedic hybrid model but even that may have too much foam.

Those Who Don’t Plan On Having The Mattress For A Long Time

TEMPUR-Pedic mattresses tend to be higher priced in comparison to some newer bed-in-a-box brands but they’re also more durable in comparison. Mattresses are a long term investment and the longer the mattresses stay in good shape and provides good support, the higher its value is.  If people don’t plan on keeping the mattress for more than a few years, perhaps they can get better value from other options.

Those Looking For A Bouncier, More Resilient Feel

There are many mattresses that provide a bouncier, springier feel to them.  Latex, for example, is well known for being “bouncy,” and supportive – a quality some people prefer over the slower, sinking feeling of memory foam. TEMPUR-Pedic is all about the slow response and pressure relief of memory foam.

Those With Budget Constraints

TEMPUR-Pedic mattresses come in a range of pricing but they’re not budget beds.  If people have limited funds, they might be out of their price range. The most affordable series is TEMPUR-Adapt, which starts at $2,199 for a Queen option.

Which TEMPUR-Pedic Model Should I Get?

This really comes down to one’s budget and personal preferences. Here are a few things to note about their line of mattresses.

• The softer the model, the more expensive it is. If having a softer or plusher mattress is the priority, one should expect to pay more for a TEMPUR-Pedic. Likewise, those who like a firmer bed are in luck because those models are generally less expensive.
• Breeze models are effective but pricier. Breeze models do an effective job at keeping the mattress cool, but they are the most expensive line within the brand.  I would recommend doing this only for those who are especially sensitive to sleeping hot.
• Thicker models tend to be more expensive. As one would expect, thicker materials are going to be more expensive.  Some people, like heavier people, for example, should get a thicker mattress, but not everyone needs to do so.

Overall Rating

TEMPUR-Pedic was the company that really made the memory foam mattress category happen.  They have a great collection of memory foam mattresses (and some hybrid options) that can be a great option for the right person.

Across the board, all TEMPUR-Pedic mattresses come with free delivery, a 90-night sleep trial, and a 10-year warranty.

The truth is that TEMPUR-Pedic beds aren’t for everyone, as some people will not like the memory foam feel. For others, they may be out of the budget. If you are considering a bed – they do provide an intriguing set of options for those who are looking for a great memory foam mattress.
