r/Mattress on Reddit: Is tempurpedic worth it?
June 20, 2024 -

Definitely spelt the brand wrong..

Looking to buy our first King sized, goal is for it to last a while as we won’t be going bigger than a king.. not really a budget but less is obviously better. Originally I was all about the nectar hybrid copper, but we tried the memory foam one and didn’t love it. Sales person got us on a hybrid tempurpedic with cooling sheet and we fell in love..

Guess my question is - are these mattresses really worth 5k? Do they last longer than the competition? What are some other worthy entries to look at.

I have 2 bulging disks and sciatica (worse on right but still a little on left side too). Wife and I both sleep on side for the most part.

Thanks for the help, I have trust issues and the salesperson was really leaning into the whole “Made for NASA” bit of the tempurpedic lol.

As far as durability goes the ProAdapt and LuxeAdapt Hybrid are probably 2 of their best mattresses. The coil support of the Hybrid will have much better durability than their other mattreses with polyurethane foam support(which was reduced from high density 2.2pcf to low density 1.6pcf polyfoam a few years ago), and the coils will help a lot with dissipating heat. As far as whether its worth it, youre paying a pretty high markup when you get a Tempur. For me when I just look at materials, there are much nicer mattresses I would pick for that price, $5k you are in luxury mattress territory where you can get an Airloom, chattam and wells, or luxury King koil mattress. To me laying on a stretch knit fabric over memory foam is not luxury no matter how high quality that memory foam is. But thats my personal preference and if you lay on it and it feels like heaven, maybe paying that markup will be worth it. You are getting a quality mattress still no doubt. And yes, Ignore the sales tactics where they try to convince you Tempur material is magical and totally not memory foam but its own special thing. Its high density memory foam, thats what it is.

r/Mattress on Reddit: Tempur-pedic review - a year later.
November 27, 2024 -

Avoid purchasing Tempur-Pedic mattresses. I bought a Luxe Breeze (Firm) king-size mattress (from their flagship store in NYC), and within a year, the firmness deteriorated significantly, causing back pain. The sales agents were deceptive, and the Tempur-Pedic warranty is essentially a scam. Unlike traditional spring mattresses, memory foam doesn’t show visible depressions (unlike traditional spring mattresses) so the warranty won’t cover the mattress even if it loses its original quality.

In the unlikely event that you manage to achieve the required 1.5-inch depression (defying physics & gravity), they will only provide a credit to purchase another subpar mattress from their brand. In the end, you’ll end up spending even more money. Save yourself the trouble and research reviews on YouTube or Reddit to find other horror stories similar to mine, else be subject to a 5k+ purchase that will only last you a year at best.

Six years on a Tempur-pedic firm pro adapt all I can say is I wish I had those six years back because this thing is just awful. It took me like five months to get used to it. My wife really liked it so I stuck it out. we bought a new bed, but it’s taking a while to get to my house. I slept on the floor last night and I feel so much better. I can’t even tell you if you’re wondering if it’s your bed grab a sleeping bag and a nice pillow and sleep on the floor if you sleep better it’s probably your bed never doing the memory foam thing again

Tempur-Pedic, this is unacceptable. Buyer beware ! We spent over $5,000 plus on a Tempur-Pedic ProBreeze Hybrid, expecting premium quality. In just 3 years, the mattress sank deeply in the middle (we literally roll into a hole), and the so-called “cooling technology” is useless. Despite sending clear photos showing the defect, Tempur-Pedic refused to honor the 5-year warranty — they didn’t even bother sending anyone to inspect it. Their excuse? They called it a “comfort issue.” No — this is a defective, unusable mat Do to my current condition and pass back surgery ,I purposely chose this mattress to help with my pain and chronic back issues. At first, I slept well then less then one year later, noticing my pain worsening looking at the mattress and realizing the defectiveness, I even change size with my husband with no success! We are healthy adults, not overweight with any other issues than back pain We followed every care instruction, submitted clear photos, and even explained that the bed is unusable — yet you denied our claim without even inspecting it. This isn’t “comfort preference.” It’s a defective product, and your refusal to honor the warranty leaves us no choice but to pursue further action through the Better Business Bureau, the Florida Attorney General’s Office for Consumer Protection, and explore legal remedies for breach of warranty. Tempur-Pedic markets luxury but hides behind fine print when there’s a real problem. We will continue to make our experience public until this is resolved.”

Currently looking to buy a new mattress as my current bed in a box has become too soft.

Have tested Tempur-Pedic Adapt Medium and Pro Adapt Medium in numerous stores and love the feel/support.

My only hang-up is the countless reviews I see online stating they will do anything to get out of a warranty and the product sagging or dipping a few years after ownership.

I just don't want to get stuck with a $3200 bed that fails in a few years. Does anyone here have any thoughts, good or bad? If you own one, which model and for how long?

Long term TP owner here. Basically the mattress takes some getting used to (give yourself at least two months, get used to the floaty feel and also the slightly higher body heat retention). Overall, I wouldn’t change it for another mattress. Having run sleep apps, its clear that I barely move all night whilst on a TP leading to much better quality sleep. By contrast, even on very high end sprung mattresses, I end up moving a lot more with greater disrupted sleep. Stories about TP mattresses sagging should be taken with a pinch of salt. Unless you are seriously heavy, I wouldn’t worry about it. I have two TP beds in my house. No sagging at all after 5 and 10 years of use respectively. The only downside I can think of is that the mattresses sleep slightly hotter. This is only noticeable in summer, and the solution is simply to cover yourself with less. In summary: I’d go for it.

I had the same concerns after reading way too many Tempur Pedic reviews; lots of love for the feel, but the sagging and warranty issues definitely gave me pause. I personally ended up going with the Plush Beds botanical bliss after seeing the comparison here https://www.reddit.com/r/Mattress/comments/1h1m2js/comment/mk6u2ux/ . For me personally, PlushBeds seemed like the best choice. It’s all latex, so you should still get that contouring support but with more bounce and durability. Plus, it’s got a great return policy. Still waiting on it to arrive though and I'm excited to try it out!!!

r/Mattress on Reddit: Avoid Tempur-Pedic mattresses--not worth the money or pain (figuratively and literally).
December 18, 2024 -

Background: owned a Cloud Luxe Queen ($3,500) for about 3 months and a Cloud Luxe Breeze King ($5,000, not cheap) for ~5 years now.

The first one (queen sized) from them wouldn't stop off-gassing. Our entire bedroom would smell awful from it 3 months later so we utilized the mattress store's policy to get a completely different mattress. We replaced it with some other queen size bed, which was great for several years.

Years later we needed to upgrade to a king, so we rolled the dice on another tempurpedic since the first was comfortable other than the terrible smell. This one stopped off-gassing after a week and was generally good (not great) for the first 4-5 years, but in the last year the material is starting to simply give up underneath me (I'm tall and about 200lb).

My shoulders and hips, as a side sleeper, are sinking so far into the mattress now that I'm getting neck/back pain from it. Checked other parts of the mattress (e.g. wife's side) and it's like a completely different mattress in those areas--feels like sleeping on concrete in comparison despite it being the softest mattress they make.

Reached out to Tempur-Pedic for warranty support since we're well within the 10 year warranty and because it's only visibly sagging 1/4" they won't do anything. I asked for help escalating and offered to provide images with weights in different parts of the bed to visibly show how much it's sinking when weighted, which is what actually matters for comfort. Was given an 800# and told they wouldn't help me because this decision is final and can not be appealed. Called the 800# and they're as unhelpful as I expected them to be.

It's clear they have marching orders to deny any and all claims that don't meet their very narrow, borderline extreme metric. They're honestly worse than any health insurance company I've dealt with. I found this post from someone that successfully sued them in small claims court and won, so I'm going the same route.

One thing I want to point out, regardless of the material quality it would be a good idea to rotate your mattress more often. There really shouldnt be a "your side vs wifes side" of a mattress which you have owned for 6 years. The minimum amount of times you should rotate is every 6 months, but really its a good practice to rotate a mattress every season. Then for the warranty requirement, Tempur allows for a 0.75" indention, and when you compare that with the other major manufacturers it is actually one of the best. A typical allowance is usually double that at 1.5", which the ridiculousness of that is something I agree with. Especially since these large brand mattresses are almost all using memory foam, which will often soften well beyond comfort before reaching that level of sagging. At the same time u/Timbukthree makes a really good point. If they didnt use a measurable metric such as indentation many people would just abuse the system to get free mattresses for life. What you can do as a consumer though is go through a business like Costco where you know that they will go above and beyond the manufacturer warranty, and they are more than happy to just take you at your word because they want to keep your business on other items. What we know about Tempur is over the years they have been reducing the density of their memory foam and polyurethane foam support. We are told this is to make it more breathable, and that there isnt a loss in quality. I even see some people in the sub saying that density in memory foam isnt an important consideration. Im personally not convinced though and feel that reducing manufacturing costs is likely a big reason we are seeing this reduction in density, and if they continue down this direction their reputation will follow suit.

I used to be a dealer for Tempur, had just about the same issue on a Rhapsofy Breeze and when I went to Tempur they said the same thing. Switched to latex and about three months later was told by a Tempur engineer at a trade show that the problem I had was a known issue and “totally fixed” in the new beds, but my claim was still denied. Tempur ain’t what it used to be. They actually used to warranty excessive softening but took it out of their warranty about ten years ago.

r/Mattress on Reddit: Warning: Before you buy Tempur-Pedic
January 2, 2025 -

So far I have owned 2 Tempur beds. Both felt great for a while when I first got them, but then not even 2 years later they started becoming too soft to the point of causing pain. Not acceptable for a bed costing several thousands.

The first Tempur I bought was the perfect firmness at the time of purchace. The second one was even more firm, because my thinking was the extra firm would just soften up to firmness I like. Both ended up becoming too soft. My brother had the same problem with his Tempur becoming too soft as well. Keep in mind I am only around 145 pounds.

Their are even some people reporting their Tempur becoming too soft even after only 6 months. I also heard that 20 years ago Tempur was better quality and didn't soften so much, then after they developed a name, they started cheaping out on quality.

Anyway, just be warned that if you buy a Tempur, 6-24 months after you buy it, there is a decent chance of it losing a lot of its firmness, to the point of causing pain.

I am not sure what is the best bed to buy to retain firmness. Maybe somone in the comments can chime in.

Update: Flipped my mattres around and had even a worse sleep, because my body I guess was so used to the extra soft side, that the firmer side was a shock? So now we have one end way too soft and one way too firm. Oh Tempur why must you be so difficult?

My boyfriend (M31) and I (M26) are on the hunt for a new mattress. We’re moving in together at the end of next month, and we are in dire need of a new bed lol his old mattress that we’ve been using (old king from at least 8 years ago) was hurting our backs so bad the other night, we woke up in the middle of the night and decided to find a mattress topper in the interim until we buy a new one together.

I have ALWAYS wanted a Tempur Pedic mattress. I don’t know if it’s this odd impression I’ve gotten from watching countless hours of ads in 2000s. Are they worth the purchase at all? If not, what’s another comparable/reputable memory foam kind of mattress you would recommend? I don’t know the material those beds use, so something like that would be sweet.

Much appreciated in advance! 😇

My fiancé and I are moving into a new place together and I was initially thinking I was gonna spend $2000-$3000 on the whole set up. I went into Ashley Furniture and ended up getting a King Tempur Pedic adapt hybrid with the adjustable frame. Out the door it was $5200. To me it’s insanely expensive. I can still cancel the order. I’m wondering if there is a comparable bed for less money. I was looking at the nectar copper hybrid with the adjustable frame, it comes out at nearly $2000 less. Did I overpay? If it’s worth it I’ll keep it. What other recommendations would you all have? I have never bought a mattress before. I’m 6’5 250 lbs and a combo sleeper. I also have nasal breathing issues so I think the adjustable frame is essential. My fiancé is 5’4 125 lbs and a combo sleeper. Thank you.

They promised customer satisfaction, but yet when I continue to complain that the beds give me back pains and I’ll wake up so sore they refuse to take the mattress back

Edit: We have the Luxbreeze medium hybrid now after exchanging it from the firm. It really feels as if we are sleeping on top of the bed versus having that conforming mattress they sold us during the sales pitch. Once you exchange it you no longer can switch it for a different bed. So the 90-day satisfaction guaranteed by the customer service policy is voided once the switch is completed. Sucks cause we are only 60 days in.

I know mattresses are not BIFL but I'd like one that lasts at least 10 years since I've had a Tempurpedic mattress from 18 years ago that I loved. It was hot in the summers but perfect. This past year I've been getting lower back pain on it and I've noticed it has soft spots.

I had the worst nights sleep last night so I walked into a store to check out some Tempurpedic mattresses. I ended up purchasing an Adapt Medium to change it up.

I got home and took a nap on my mattress and noticed how different the new Tempurpedics feel from the models 18 years ago... Then I made the mistake of going onto the internet for reviews. Specifically, Reddit. That's why I'm asking here. I feel r/Mattress is either: salesmen, people looking for a mattress, people who have used a mattress for a few months, or people complaining/unhappy.

Is there anyone a few years in with a newer Tempurpedic that hasn't had any issues with sinking?

January 12, 2025 -

I’m looking for an adjustable bed mainly to help with sleep apnea, and I’ve been comparing high-end brands like Tempur-Pedic and Sleep Number to more affordable options like Nectar and Sven & Son.

Honestly, the price difference seems huge, and I’m wondering if the premium brands are actually worth it or just overpriced.

For those who have tried both:

Is there a real difference in quality, durability, or functionality?

Do Tempur-Pedic and Sleep Number actually justify the premium price, or are you mostly paying for the brand name?

If you went with a more affordable option, how has it held up?

I’m leaning toward not overpaying, but I’d love to hear from anyone who has compared these firsthand—especially if you’re using an adjustable bed for sleep apnea relief

I also have severe sleep apnea. When my wife and I were shopping for beds, we decided to buy our adjustable bed frames off Amazon as we managed to get a split king, which is just 2 twin xl bed frames, and it cost us just under $400. Comparable frames from other places were well over a grand. We went this route because we wanted 2 different comfort levels for our mattress. She got a soft plush, and I got firm, both of which are hybrid mattresses latex mattresses from Lucid bedding. Were now 5 years in and still going strong, so for us it was well worth it to go this route.

Like it is with mattresses, price has little to do with anything. From reading here, there are 3-4 major manufacturers of adjustable bases: Reverie, Ergomotion, Leggett & Platt, and Malouf. Ergomotion produces the Sealy and Tempurpedics, Leggett & Platt makes Mattress Firm's. I had a Sleep Number made by Leggett & Platt [They didn't try to hide it. It included a Leggett & Platt manual and their installation info]. The Sam's Club/Costco models are (they make the same base) by Southbay International, which is a subsidiary of Ergomotion. How can you tell which bases are the same? Check two things. First, on the website for each model, look at the photo of the remote. If the shape of the remote and the button placement are the same, it's likely that they're the same base. The other place to check is the tag. Like pillows and mattresses, all bases have a tag. It's the one that threatens endless torture for your entire life if you remove it. It should say who actually manufactured the base. So, how do you choose? Make a list of the features you like/want/need. Besides things like massage, wall hugging, lumbar adjustment, presets, and how high the head or foot raises; think about how often you change addresses. Why? Some of them, even in queen size, fold in half like a book. That makes putting them in a U-Haul or getting them through doorways easier. Some are two pieces that get put together. They're also easy to move. Others can't be disassembled or aren't stable on their sides. Lastly, check the actual weight of the base (that's different than the capacity). They can weigh anywhere from about 100 to almost 300 pounds. I ended up getting an Ergomotion. It's sold as a Blissful Nights e5, or Southbay International SBKDT2, or ZZZen e5.

r/Mattress on Reddit: Tempur-Pedic Supreme from Costco
February 29, 2024 -

Hello, all.

I just wanted to contribute something to this sub as it has helped me find a way out of the mattress search rabbit hole.

After much research for a new mattress, I was ready to give up and was planning to replace my 15 year old Novafoam with another from Costco. Upon searching on their website, I realized they carry their own line of Tempur-pedic mattresses called Supreme. Reviews on reddit indicated that they’re comparable to the Pro Adapt line, though they’re 11.5” thick to the Pro Adapt’s 12”.

Wife and I went to the Tempur-pedic showroom and tried them for about an hour, settled on the medium firmness. Ordered the mattress/foundation set from Costco for $2000 which comes with a $300 Costco coupon. We had no qualms ordering from them as their return policy is hard to beat.

It arrived within a week and we can say confidently that it feels exactly like the Pro Adapt medium at the store. Very happy with the purchase. With the Pro-adapt line priced well over $3000, we feel like we got a comparable mattress at half the cost when accounting for the $300 Costco coupon.

3 nights on it so far and we’ve been sleeping like logs. Mostly because the mattress is pretty damn comfy but also because we managed to crawl out of the mattress rabbit hole with a good decision and favorable outcome.

Im planning on purchasing tempurpedic's top of the line base Pro Ergo Smart. I actually like the massage feature and that it automatically elevates you while snoring. However this thing is expensive. It was like 2600$ after discounts. Would it be worth it to check out a base from Costco or Sams instead? Those of you that have bought one of these bases how do you like it?

I absolutely love my prosmart base! The Soundwave massage is one of my favorite things, especially since we use it for the snore response instead of the elevation bc we are on a queen and my husband didn't like moving in the night bc of my snoring. I also really enjoy the Bluetooth features! We sleep in zero g, so I like that instead of adjusting out of it, it massages just enough to get you to reposition without waking up. With that being said, I don't really use the app or sleep tracking very much. It also has known bug issues with working with amazon alexa devices. Like I said, I love my base, and to be 100% honest, we did not pay anywhere near msrp bc we bought a floor model from Mattress Firm. They also had outlet bases, which were returned bases but not new, so there's no warranty unless you buy an extra one. We saved like $900 or so dollars because of this, so I'd recommend trying that, especially if you've got patience Edit: full disclosure, I am a mattress firm employee but I'd still recommend the prosmart base for the feature and how sturdy it is. I'd also recommend the outlet/floor model option because that's literally all I have in my home with 3 beds and 3 bases and I've had very little issues and the ones I have had (broken remote thanks to my 80lb dog chewing on it) were fixed very promptly by the firmcare company.

I am not a mattress firm employee or a vendor for TempurPedic so I believe my opinion is a little less biased than the other comment currently here. You can find other bases with snore response, and possibly ones with the speakers as the massage, but Tempur bases (made by ergomotion) are generally really good quality but overpriced. I wouldn’t buy clearance from mattress firm as not having a warranty isn’t something I’d be okay with, and the companies who do the extended warranties aren’t generally the manufacturer so if they have trouble getting parts you’re out of luck (fine print normally says something like “if we can’t fix your base we’ll give you the money back for what you paid for the extended warranty” leaving you with a broken base still). I’ve had the same adjustable bases for 10+ years and have had little to no issues with them, but they’re kind of basic compared to the new ergo bases. My opinion is like with most appliances as you add neat tech and features you’re just adding failure points. The “normal” style of massage motors is durable and easily replaceable where the sonic massage, or whatever Tempur calls it, is a bit less tested. The snore response is another computer with microphones “totally not listening to you”, “totally keeping your info secure”, and another thing that can break and be costly to replace if there is no warranty. TL;DR - the base is cool and has a lot of neat tech, made by a reputable company for Tempur, I’d recommend getting it with manufacturers warranty and not used.
