Fans of memory foam may already be familiar with Tempur-Pedic mattresses, which offer excellent pressure relief and motion isolation—and tend to sleep cooler than other all-foam beds. The brand, after all, has been a trailblazer in the foam mattress space for over three decades. And these days, Tempur-Pedic offers many more options to choose from beyond the classic memory foam variety, to accommodate various sleep preferences. Forbes Vetted's expert sleep editors have chosen six of the best Tempur-Pedic mattresses, with the Tempur-Pedic Pro-Adapt Medium Hybrid coming in as our pick for the best overall, thanks to its pressure-relieving and supportive design.
We compared models to find the best Tempur-Pedic mattresses for different sleep styles, preferences ... More and budgets.
If you're looking for a mattress with superior cooling properties, we recommend the Tempur-Pedic Tempur-Breeze LuxeBreeze; for those who experience regular back pain, the Tempur-Pedic Tempur-Adapt LuxeAdapt may be a good choice. Read on for more of our favorites and a guide to choosing the best Tempur-Pedic mattress for you.

The crowd-pleasing ProAdapt Medium Hybrid offers 20% more pressure relief than the models in Tempur-Pedic's all-foam Adapt line—as well as better edge support than foam alone can deliver. With a 12-inch profile, it's constructed with layers made of classic Tempur-Material, extra pressure-relieving Advanced Relief Material and more than 1,000 spring coils. Unless you're totally set on a Tempur-Pedic mattress composed exclusively of the brand's famous Tempur-Material (that is, one that's all-foam), this hybrid option provides a sweet spot; its design allows most sleepers to doze comfortably.
'Our most popular model is the ProAdapt Medium Hybrid,' says Jill Johnson, Tempur-Pedic's vice president of marketing. 'The hybrid technology offers consumers the perfect balance, combining the comfort and adaptability of Tempur-Material with the support and responsive feel that the 1,000-plus premium springs provide.'
A great option for all sleep styles, its material lends itself well to isolating motion too—meaning it's a solid choice for those who sleep with a restless partner or pet and want to limit disturbances. In addition to this hybrid model, available in a medium feel, the ProAdapt also comes in an all-foam version in three firmness options.

The Tempur-Cloud is the only bed-in-a-box the brand offers, and with it comes a much more affordable price point than most of its other offerings. This mattress has a medium firmness and provides excellent motion isolation and pressure relief, with a construction that comfortably contours your body. It's also designed with a moisture-wicking and breathable cover, which should help hot sleepers stay cool while they snooze.
'The Tempur-Cloud has the cuddly feel of memory foam—it offers great pressure relief without sacrificing support,' says Bridget Chapman, Forbes Vetted's senior mattress and sleep editor. 'It tested really well for motion isolation, so your partner's movements shouldn't disrupt you."
While it doesn't arrive with the full setup service that the brand's other beds do, shipping of this compressed mattress is still free to your doorstep. Note that at just 10 inches deep, however, it might not be supportive enough for heavier-weight sleepers or anyone who prefers a feel with less sinkage. For an extra $140, you can opt for a hybrid version made with over 1,000 coils; it offers a bit more stability and edge support compared to the all-foam option.

The firm version of Tempur-Pedic's most popular mattress is the best option if you're looking for a firm, all-foam mattress that still offers excellent pressure relief. At 12 inches deep, it's composed of various supportive layers including 5 centimeters of Tempur-Material and 3 centimeters of Advanced Relief Material.
Its five zones of ergonomic support help keep your spine aligned throughout the night and make this mattress (in the firm option) supportive enough for stomach sleepers as well. The firm ProAdapt also offers great motion isolation, which is important for co-sleepers or anyone who shares their bed with pets. And while a dense all-foam mattress can often feel hot to some temperature-sensitive sleepers, the ProAdapt has a cooling cover that's also removable and washable.

'For those who sleep hot, we recommend our Tempur-Breeze models, which come in soft, medium, hybrid and firm feels and are layered with technologies that provide a sleep environment of up to 10 degrees cooler,' Johnson says. The brand's ProBreeze line also includes models designed for hot sleepers, created to provide up to 5 degrees of cooling sensation.
And according to Tempur-Pedic, all of its foams generally provide a cooler sleep experience than competitors' memory foam, due to a proprietary manufacturing process. Johnson notes that the LuxeBreeze Hybrid is one of Tempur-Pedic's most popular options, despite its comparatively high price tag. It contains a layer of phase-change materials designed to absorb heat while you sleep and release it through a layer of ventilated proprietary material.
The mattress also comes with a cooling cover, which Chapman experienced firsthand while testing a LuxeBreeze model. 'The cover is truly cool to the touch, and I was overall really impressed with its cooling abilities during testing,' she says. The LuxeBreeze is also available in all-foam versions in either a soft or firm feel.

The Tempur-Adapt LuxeAdapt mattress has a 13-inch profile and offers the highest level of pressure relief in the Tempur-Adapt line. 'To address any ache and/or pain, including your back or hips, you want to look for a mattress that is going to offer ample support and cradle the shape of your body,' says Johnson. She notes that mattresses in the LuxeAdapt series feature the highest volume of Tempur-Material to date, which helps provide pain relief by supporting the body's pressure points with precision.
Johnson also recommends pairing a LuxeAdapt mattress with an adjustable base, like the brand's Tempur-Ergo base. These may be especially helpful to sleepers who experience regular back pain, as they can make adjustments more easily without straining their back.
The LuxeAdapt is also constructed with a five-zone layer designed to conform to your body to keep the spine in alignment while also providing cushioning for maximum comfort. That's topped by 7 centimeters of Tempur-Material and 5 centimeters of Tempur-Pedic's most pressure-relieving material to date.

This is the same mattress as our best Tempur-Pedic mattress for back pain (above), except it's the soft version instead of the firm feel. The soft LuxeAdapt provides the ideal amount of plush, sinking support for pressure pressure relief in the hips and shoulders while still offering full spinal support to help side sleepers get a comfortable night's rest. 'The Tempur-Adapt LuxeAdapt mattress features unique layers of proprietary material that work together to help reduce aches and pains, and ease pressure points for deeper, more rejuvenating sleep,' says Johnson.
The 13-inch mattress features a five-zone ergonomic support layer, of which two zones are specially made to conform to the shoulders and hips, offering targeted contouring and comfort to pressure points. Other layers, according to Johnson, are "the Ventilated Advanced Relief Material, which is Tempur-Pedic's most pressure-relieving material to date, and the Tempur-Material Comfort Layer, which is ultra-conforming and responds to the body's weight, shape and temperature.'
The Forbes Vetted sleep team has published an extensive library of mattress and sleep guides, including dozens of mattress articles for different sleep needs and preferences.
To assemble this list, we researched all of Tempur-Pedic's best-selling models, evaluated their features to match them with consumers and consulted with a Tempur-Pedic brand expert.
Shopping for a Tempur-Pedic mattress has become a bit more complicated over the years as the brand has introduced multiple lines and various types of memory foam into its collection. Here are some things to consider before you buy one.
Tempur-Pedic uses several different proprietary foams in its mattresses. Johnson helped to explain what each of these are below.
Every mattress sold by Tempur-Pedic contains the company's proprietary Tempur-Material memory foam, which is meant to adapt to a sleeper's weight, body type and sleeping temperature as well as relieve pressure points and reduce motion transfer. Most of the brand's foam mattress offerings are available in soft, medium and firm options, although some come in just two firmness levels.
Tempur-Pedic is famously private about its formula, but the brand states that 'the raw materials and processes used in manufacturing Tempur-Pedic products are similar to those used in the production of a large variety of polyurethane foams used every day by millions of people.'
In addition to its collection of all-foam mattresses, Tempur-Pedic also offers hybrid options, which are constructed with an added layer of coils. 'Each of our collections now features a hybrid model, [with] over 1,000 premium, double-stacked innersprings that provide a lighter, more responsive feel that helps support any sleep position,' Johnson says.
Regarding how the foams are made, Tempur-Pedic states that none of its materials contain polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and they all meet fire-safety requirements. Additionally, none of its products contain latex, and the company's proprietary Tempur-Material is formaldehyde-free.
Tempur-Pedic foam mattresses are well-suited to 'those looking for exceptional support, pressure relief and motion cancellation (i.e., disruptions caused by movement from partners, pets or kids),' Johnson says. She adds, 'Other factors like body size, distribution of mass and prior injuries should all be considered when picking your perfect mattress.'
In general, sleepers suffering from pain in their hips will benefit from the extra cushioning in soft to medium mattresses. Look for a mattress that offers contouring and cushion around pressure points, so any pain isn't exacerbated. Soft to medium mattresses from the Tempur-Adapt LuxeAdapt line are good options.
We recommend the firm option of the Tempur-Adapt LuxeAdapt mattress for sleepers with back pain. It offers strong support for your spine and ensures proper alignment while also contouring your body's pressure points.
Not everyone finds a foam mattress comfortable. Despite the wide range of foam types and firmness levels offered by Tempur-Pedic, foam simply isn't popular with everyone. Some people find that foam retains heat more than other types of mattresses, despite cooling features, while others find the sinking feel of foam to be constricting. Tempur-Pedic does offer multiple hybrid mattresses, though, so it's possible for even foam-averse sleepers to find a mattress they love from the brand. Tempur-Pedic mattresses are often pricier than foam mattresses from other brands as well.
