Tempur-Pedic Topper

About the brand
TEMPUR launched in 1991, when the Swedish firm Fagerdala World Foams developed a pressure-relieving material, based on a formula originally created by NASA in the 1970s. In 1992, Bobby Trussell brought this “Swedish Sleep System” to the United States under the name TEMPUR-Pedic. Now, after 30+ years, the brand is a leader in sleep technology. TEMPUR-Pedic uses proprietary materials and systems to create mattresses and bases that offer luxury, comfort, and support, while a...ddressing issues like motion isolation, hot sleepers, and pressure relief.

Our Verdict
TEMPUR-Pedic is a premium mattress provider, with prices closer to the luxury end. But the use of proprietary TEMPUR-Material and continued cooling provides a restful night’s sleep, easily justifying the price points.
The wide selection of sizes, split bases, cooling fans, USB ports, and underbed lighting elevates TEMPUR-Pedic above regular mattress brands. Overall, this is a brand I highly recommend if you take your sleep seriously.

Products & Pricing
TEMPUR-Pedic offers its mattresses in a range of sizes, including twin, twin long, full, queen, king, split king, CA king, and split CA king. The price points are higher than average, placing the brand in the luxury category. But features such as white-glove delivery, a 90-night trial, and a 10-year warranty justify the higher price.
In-depth review
Firmness Level
An aspect of TEMPUR-Pedic’s mattresses that caught my attention was the selection of firmness levels, of which TEMPUR offers several.
- Soft – If you’re a side sleeper, a soft mattress offers the most comfort. Options like TEMPUR-Pedic’s TEMPUR-LuxeBreeze provide contouring and pushback support, eliminating hip or shoulder pain.
- Medium – TEMPUR-Pedic’s “medium” firmness mattress is composed of layers of foam and TEMPUR-Material. The TEMPUR-Adapt collection comes in medium firmness.
- Medium Hybrid – You can also find all TEMPUR-Adapt models in medium-hybrid, which combines TEMPUR-Material with an innovative coil system that provides a more responsive feel.
- Firm – Offering maximum back support and longevity, this option is great if you prefer sleeping on your back. The ProAdapt firm is one of TEMPUR-Pedic’s most popular firm mattresses.
Cooling Properties
The patented cooling properties are one of the core offerings TEMPUR-Pedic includes in its mattresses. This cooling technology comprises several layers:
- The SmartClimate® Air Cover – This cool-to-the-touch, removable cover is made from heat-absorbing fibres that draw heat away from your body.
- Ventilated TEMPUR® Heat-Diffusing Layer – Situated just below the cover, the heat-diffusing layer absorbs excess heat and enhances cooling.
- Pure Cool® & Pure Cool® Plus Material – This patented layer is designed to pull heat away from your body. Pure Cool can leave you feeling up to 5℃ cooler, while Pure Cool Plus can take this up to 10℃, making this tech suitable for hot sleepers.
- Hybrid Technology Air-Distribution Layer – A breathable layer that helps maintain a cool sleep temperature. The design allows air to disperse, preventing pockets of hot air.
- TEMPUR-Ergo® ProSmart® Air Base – The base is one-of-a-kind and includes specially designed fans that quietly circulate air upwards, through the mattress, maintaining cool comfort throughout the night.
Pressure Relief
The TEMPUR-Adapt range is the best for pressure relief. The brand uses TEMPUR-Material, designed to adapt to your body weight and shape, absorbing your body’s force and relieving pressure on your joints. An ergonomic 5-zone layer that cushions the shoulders, hips, and knees, further reducing pressure on these areas.
Responsiveness
TEMPUR-Material uses unique construction techniques that absorb movement as you change sleeping positions, while contouring your body to reduce pressure.
If you prefer more bounce, TEMPUR-Pedic medium hybrid mattresses, with wrapped coils, are better. These coils provide additional edge support and make it easier to move about in bed.
Motion Isolation
TEMPUR-Pedic uses advanced material technology that isolates movement at the source, which is great if your partner is a restless sleeper, as it eliminates that annoying jiggle.
Edge Support
All of TEMPUR-Pedic’s mattresses include edge support. I found that the hybrid models are better in this area, using 1,000+ premium wrapped coils with TEMPUR-Material to create dual-density edge layers.
These coils are wrapped to prevent squeaking and motion transfer, so you get the support you’re after without the frustrations of coil beds.
Construction
Each TEMPUR-Pedic mattress features unique construction based on the needs it is designed to meet. However, they all follow the same core construction.
- Comfort Layer – Every TEMPUR-Pedic mattress includes a layer of TEMPUR-Material, which provides comfort and supportive cushioning. Different ranges offer this layer in varying thicknesses.
- Support Layer – An additional layer of TEMPUR-Material that is slightly firmer and relieves pressure.
- Ventilated Relief Layer – Included in the TEMPUR-Adapt and TEMPUR-Breeze collections, this ventilated foam provides support and pressure relief while keeping you cool.
- Air Distribution Layer – Used in the TEMPUR-ActiveBreeze model, this layer adds additional ventilation for continued cooling.
- Pure Cool and Pure Cool Plus – A layer of material included in the TEMPUR-Breeze series designed to pull heat away from your body.
- Hybrid Technology Layer – Available only in hybrid mattresses, this layer features over 1,000 wrapped coils that provide slightly more support and responsiveness.
- Base Layer – A premium foam base that adds protection and support.
Mattress cover
The SmartClimate Cover uses SmartClimate cool-to-the-touch material with antimicrobial treatment to keep you cool and allergen-free. The four-way stretch allows it to fit your mattress comfortably, and machine washing in cool water makes it simple to care for.
Adjustable beds
TEMPUR-Pedic is known for its adjustable beds. These come in four ranges:
- Power-Ease Base (Classic)
- TEMPUR-Ergo Power Base (Premium)
- TEMPUR- Ergo Smart Base (Advanced)
- TEMPUR-Ergo Smart Power Base (Most Advanced)
These bases provide maximum comfort through unique features. Wireless remotes activate the zero-gravity function to reduce pressure on your back and a massage function. Snore Response automatically adjusts the bed by 12° to help reduce snoring.
USB ports, underbed lighting, and a smart alarm are among the other elements worked into these adjustable beds. These features are user-friendly, and you can control them independently on split bases.
Mattress toppers
The TEMPUR-Cloud topper offers comfort and support, with two inches of TEMPUR-Material. It is dust-mite and allergen-resistant. For added support and cooling, the TEMPUR-Adapt Topper is the better option, with three inches of TEMPUR-Material and cool-to-the-touch performance fabric.
Pillow offerings
TEMPUR-Pedic has pillows for back, side, or stomach sleepers in queen and king sizes. All pillows include the proprietary TEMPUR-Material for pressure relief and support. The TEMPUR-Cloud® Hybrid Pillow includes a layer of TEMPUR-Blend, a proprietary foam blend. If you’d prefer a cooling pillow, the TEMPUR-Cloud® Dual Cooling™ Pillow has a layer of cooling gel that absorbs excess heat.
Delivery process
TEMPUR offers free standard shipping on all TEMPUR-Cloud mattresses and pillows, linens, and mattress toppers, which takes 5-7 business days.
All other mattresses and bases qualify for free white-glove delivery (except in Hawaii or Alaska, where a $600 fee applies). White-glove service includes your mattress delivery and setup, and removal of packaging materials and your old mattress.
