Should I buy a Tempur Mattress?

Tempur mattresses may be considered the ‘Kings’ of the memory foam market, but you’ll certainly find that they have a price tag to match. They are considerably more expensive than many of the newer brands on the market. But are they worth the extra money?

Tempur have certainly been making pressure relieving memory foam mattresses longer than most, but a Tempur mattress feels very different to most of the other ‘bed in a box’ brands. Users report that they feel ‘hugged’ by the mattresses and that the longer you lie on the bed, the further you’ll sink into it. This means that there really is no motion transfer with Tempur mattresses, meaning they’re well worth the money if you’re a light sleeper or share a bed with someone who moves about a lot.

Because of the amount of sinkage, we wouldn’t recommend the Tempur mattresses for front sleepers. But it’s a great choice for side and back sleepers, offering relief for those with back and spine issues. Heavier builds may find the foam mattresses sink too much for their liking, but may find that the hybrid Tempur mattresses (which contain springs) will offer more support.

Some customers find that the Tempur mattresses make them very hot at night, probably due to the sinkage involved. There are also a percentage of users who have found that the Tempur mattresses have started to dip considerably after a year or so, causing back and neck pain.

Real Homes said the Tempur mattress is ideal for those who struggle to sleep: If you do struggle to sleep, this mattress may prove priceless. And I’m not just talking about you poor loves saddled with searing pain in your spine/hips/knees –delete as applicable. If your partner moans about you thrashing about during the night, or you switch positions more often than your ‘leccie company switches tariffs, this mattress could be a game-changer.

T3 said: It’s the almost complete lack of motion transfer and gently enveloping, yet supportive structure that means that if you suffer from back and shoulder pain, or you’re particularly restless sleeper, this luxury memory foam mattress will be an investment you won’t regret.

T3 Magazine

The Telegraph said: The NASA developed Tempur material works to redistribute body weight and reduce pressure points while you sleep. The supportive foam layer also cradles the body throughout the night, making sure you achieve optimum relaxation.

I purchased the Sensation Elite 25 mattress and it has provided the best nights sleep I’ve ever had. Well worth the money. I would recommend this mattress. (April 2020)‍

My husband and I were about to buy a regular sprung mattress however, after a conversation with his brother about his Tempur mattress, we just thought let’s try it. I like a firm bed and this mattress is beyond perfect. I can lie on my side without my shoulder and hip aching after a while, but even more exciting is being able to lie on my back without my lower back aching. (February 2020)

My wife and I bought a Tempur mattress 2 months ago, she prefers a softer bed and I like a firmer more supportive mattress as I am 6foot 3 and suffer lower backache from time to time! But since using this mattress my back is so much better and both of us have been having a fantastic deep nights sleep, it is wonderfully supportive and soft at the same time, both of us extremely happy. Thanks Tempur, superb mattress! (October 2019)

Tempur Customer

Fantastic brand of mattress! I will never sleep on anything else. I've had my Tempur mattress for 4 years now and it has helped me through numerous post-operation recoveries, where I'd be stuck in bed for a week at a time. It offers me the perfect support along with giving my partner a great night’s sleep too. (February 2019)

Tempur Customer

Best investment ever! I work for a mainstream bed company and bought a Tempur mattress a year ago and now sleep like a baby. My partner starts work a lot earlier than me and I’m never woken up by any movement in the mattress. (January 2019)
