Sleeping Hot
Heat retention seems to be an inevitable issue for most memory foam mattresses, and Tempur-Pedic is no exception. It's the nature of memory foam to "envelop" the body, which makes it possible to produce more heat during sleep than other materials.
If you suffer from sleeping hot a lot, it's better to stay away from non-breeze models that will generate body heat to an uncomfortable extent according to some non-Breeze Tempur-Pedic owners. The breeze models have fewer heat-trap-related complaints than non-Breeze models.
There are four Breeze models: Cloud Luxe Breeze, Cloud Supreme Breeze, Contour Elite Breeze, and Flex Supreme Breeze. (Breeze models are $1000 higher than the non-Breeze counterparts).
Break-In Period
Tempur-Pedic mattresses tend to have a significantly longer than average break-in period. Some owners suggest that walking on the mattress for a while can speed up the break-in process.
Maintenance
Each of the Tempur-Pedic mattresses uses one-sided design, so no flip or rotate will be needed. The TEMPUR material will recover its original shape.

Our Recommendations
We Recommend Tempur-Pedic Mattress If You :
- Like a memory foam feel – If you like the sink-in feeling during sleep, Tempur-Pedic Cloud Collection won't disappoint you. It features amazing body contouring and great pressure relief.
- Are looking for a mattress from a famous brand - If you find the newly developed brands untrustworthy, Tempur-Pedic can be a good and reliable brand. The company has been in business since 1992 and headquartered in Lexington, KY – largely originated the memory foam bed market.
We Don't Recommend Tempur-Pedic Mattress If You :
- Have a tight budget - Tempur-Pedic Mattress tend to charge higher compared to other brands offering products with similar materials and performance. We are not saying that Tempur-Pedic Mattress is overpriced, but it's not attractive in both price and quality.
