What is a TEMPUR Mattress?

A TEMPUR mattress uses TEMPUR® Material, a specialised viscoelastic material developed from technology originally created by NASA scientists. It responds to your body's shape, weight and warmth to provide a close, cushioning feel.

TEMPUR® Material is a type of memory foam, but it has its own formulation and material properties. TEMPUR mattresses are designed to combine body-conforming comfort with support and motion absorption.

The exact construction, comfort rating and features vary between models. Compare the individual mattress specifications to understand the differences between the available TEMPUR collections.

What is the difference between TEMPUR EASE and TEMPUR PRO SmartCool?

TEMPUR mattresses use the brand's own TEMPUR® Material, which is a specialised form of viscoelastic memory foam. Like other memory foam mattresses, TEMPUR material responds to the body to create a cushioning, body-conforming feel.

The difference is in the material formulation and the construction of each mattress. TEMPUR models may combine different layers of TEMPUR material, support technologies and covers to create different comfort experiences.

When comparing a TEMPUR mattress with another memory foam mattress, consider the feel, pressure-relieving properties described by the manufacturer, motion absorption, cover features, mattress depth and price. These details are more useful than comparing products by material name alone.

Do TEMPUR mattresses help relieve pressure?

TEMPUR® Material is designed to conform to your body's shape and distribute pressure across the contact areas between your body and the mattress. This cushioning feel may be appealing if you want a mattress that moulds more closely to your body.

The way a mattress feels depends on its construction, comfort rating and your individual preferences. Compare the features of each TEMPUR model to understand how its materials and support layers differ.

A mattress should not be presented as a guaranteed treatment for back pain or another medical condition. If you have persistent pain or specific medical needs, seek advice from an appropriate healthcare professional.

Which TEMPUR Mattress Firmness should I Choose?

The best TEMPUR mattress firmness depends on how you prefer your mattress to feel and the level of cushioning you find comfortable. The range includes different comfort ratings, with availability varying by model.

• Soft: Consider this if you prefer a more cushioned, enveloping feel.
• Medium: Consider this if you want a balance between cushioning and a firmer feel.
• Medium firm: Consider this if you prefer a more substantial feel while retaining some cushioning.
• Firm: Consider this if you prefer a firmer sleeping surface.

These descriptions are general guidance rather than a guarantee of how a mattress will feel. Your body shape, sleeping position and personal preferences can all influence comfort, so check the stated rating of each model before buying.

How do you Choose TEMPUR Pillow Height for your Sleeping Position?

Choosing the right TEMPUR pillow height depends on your sleeping position, body shape and mattress firmness. The aim is to keep your head and neck comfortably aligned with your spine while you sleep.

• Side sleepers: A higher pillow may help fill the space between your shoulder and head, keeping your neck aligned. Your shoulder width and mattress firmness will influence the height you need.
• Back sleepers: A medium-height or lower-profile pillow may be suitable, helping support the natural curve of your neck without pushing your head too far forwards.
• Front sleepers: A lower-profile pillow is generally worth considering to avoid raising your head and straining your neck.

TEMPUR pillows are available in different shapes, profiles and heights, with options designed for different sleeping preferences. Check the dimensions and design of each pillow before buying, as the best fit will depend on your individual needs.

Are TEMPUR mattresses memory foam mattresses?

Yes. TEMPUR® Material is a specialised viscoelastic memory foam developed from technology originally created by NASA scientists. Its formulation and properties distinguish it from other memory foam materials. TEMPUR mattresses are designed to provide a body-conforming feel, cushioning and support.

Which TEMPUR mattress is best for back sleepers or side sleepers?

The best TEMPUR mattress depends on your preferred comfort rating, sleeping position and how supported you feel. Side sleepers may prefer a mattress with more cushioning around the shoulders and hips, while back sleepers may prefer a different balance of cushioning and firmness. Compare the specifications of individual models rather than assuming one mattress suits everyone.

Do TEMPUR mattresses come in different firmness ratings?

Yes. TEMPUR offers mattresses in different comfort ratings, including soft, medium, medium firm and firm options across selected models. Availability varies by collection and construction, so check the comfort rating listed on each product page before buying.

Do TEMPUR mattresses need turning?

TEMPUR mattresses are designed as no-turn mattresses, meaning they should not need to be flipped over. TEMPUR advises that occasionally rotating a mattress from head to foot may help maintain even comfort and support, particularly when two people share a bed. Always follow the care guidance for your specific model.

Do TEMPUR mattresses have cooling technology?

Selected TEMPUR PRO® SmartCool™ mattresses feature a cover designed to feel cool to the touch. This feature is not present on every TEMPUR mattress, so check the individual product specifications to confirm which cooling features are included.

How do I clean a TEMPUR mattress?

Care instructions vary by model. Many TEMPUR mattresses have removable covers, and selected PRO SmartCool models have a removable QuickRefresh™ top. TEMPUR advises against washing, sponging or dry-cleaning the TEMPUR material itself. Follow the care label and the manufacturer's instructions for your particular mattress.

What is the difference between a TEMPUR mattress and a traditional spring mattress?

TEMPUR mattresses use viscoelastic TEMPUR® Material to provide a close, body-conforming feel, while traditional spring mattresses rely on spring systems for much of their support and response. The overall feel depends on the individual mattress construction, and some mattresses combine foam and springs. Compare comfort, support, motion absorption and price when deciding which type suits you.
