  • Minimal weight / motion transference, meaning that if you’re sleeping with a partner who moves a lot during the night you won’t be disturbed.
  • Extremely good at keeping the sleeper cool all night.
  • Ideal for people of all builds – from light to heavier.
  • Offers particularly good support for back sleepers and is ideal for those who suffer with back pain.
  • Has more bounce and sinkage than some other beds in a box.
  • The edge support on Eve mattresses is slightly softer than that found on other mattresses in a box.
Tempur Original Elite Mattress
Dropdown arrow
  • Tempur mattresses ‘hug’ sleepers more than other brands, creating a deeper sinkage that still leaves people supported.
  • There is absolutely no motion transfer with Tempur mattresses, meaning they’re a great choice for light sleepers or those who share a bed with a partner who moves around a lot.
  • Tempur mattresses are available in a range of firmness grades to suit all sleepers, with the Hybrid option being particularly good for supporting those of a heavier build.
  • Particularly suited for side and back sleepers and those with back, knee or hip pain.

  • You are a light sleeper and need a mattress with little motion transfer.
  • You want a mattress that suits all body types and builds.

We'd recommend the Tempur Original Elite Mattress if:

  • You like a mattress that 'hugs' and allows you to sink further into it as you sleep.
  • You are a light sleeper and need a mattress with zero motion transfer.
  • You're a side or back sleeper, or need support for neck and spine issues.
  • You don't have a budget to stick to and want a brand with an established history.
