Tempur vs Igel Mattresses

I recently had the opportunity to try out the Tempur CoolTouch Mattress, and I must say, it has been a refreshing addition to my bedroom. As someone who values a good night's sleep, I was particularly intrigued by its promises of coolness and comfort. After sleeping on it for several weeks, I'm ready to share my experience. Comfort and Support: One of the standout features of the Tempur CoolTouch Mattress is its exceptional comfort and support. The mattress contours to the body, providing a cradling sensation that relieves pressure points. It offers a medium-firm feel, which I found to be perfect for my personal preference. Whether I was sleeping on my back, side, or stomach, the mattress offered consistent support and alignment, allowing me to wake up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Cooling Technology: The cooling technology in the Tempur CoolTouch Mattress is undoubtedly one of its strongest attributes. The top layer of the mattress is infused with a cooling gel that helps dissipate body heat throughout the night. As a result, I found myself sleeping cooler and experiencing fewer disturbances due to overheating. This feature is particularly beneficial for individuals who tend to sleep hot or live in warmer climates. Motion Isolation: Another noteworthy aspect of this mattress is its excellent motion isolation. When sharing the bed with a partner or a restless pet, I barely felt any movement transfer. This is a significant advantage for couples or light sleepers who are easily disturbed by movement during the night. The Tempur CoolTouch Mattress's ability to isolate motion ensures an uninterrupted and undisturbed sleep experience. Durability and Longevity: Tempur-Pedic mattresses are known for their durability, and the CoolTouch Mattress is no exception. Constructed with high-quality materials, this mattress is built to withstand the test of time. It exhibits minimal sagging and maintains its shape and support even after extended use. While it may come with a slightly higher price tag compared to some other mattresses on the market, its longevity and performance make it a worthwhile investment in the long run. Edge Support: The edge support of the Tempur CoolTouch Mattress is decent but not exceptional. While sitting or sleeping near the edges, I noticed some slight compression, but it was not significant enough to hinder my overall comfort or support. However, if you tend to utilize the entire surface of your mattress, this might be an aspect to consider. Conclusion: In conclusion, the Tempur CoolTouch Mattress has exceeded my expectations in terms of comfort, cooling technology, and overall sleep quality. Its ability to contour to the body, combined with the cooling gel infusion, offers a comfortable and cool sleep environment. Additionally, the mattress's durability ensures a long-lasting investment. While the edge support could be improved, it does not detract significantly from the overall experience. If you're in the market for a high-quality mattress that prioritizes comfort and temperature regulation, the Tempur CoolTouch Mattress is definitely worth considering.

So having had this mattress around 4 weeks now and having slept on the cloud mattress for 4 weeks I can say this mattress has made a difference to my sleep. So previously I had a memory foam mattress from Ikea which cost me around £300, it was quite hard but we made do with it as I guess other things in life take precedent. Over the last year or so I developed a shooting pain in my shoulder blade on the left side, I put this down to being a muddled sleeper with my arm under my head while sleeping etc. So I made the decision to look into a good mattress which would possibly help with the pain I was often getting, I can honestly say this mattress has helped me personally, my pain has now almost gone and I believe this to be down to the mattress supporting my body where it needs it, I recently stayed away for a short break and the place we stayed had a spring mattress, the next day my shooting pain came back, once I got back home and slept on my Tempur again the pain has gone so I'm sure the Tempur is doing what it's supposed to do. I was very reluctant in spending around £1700 on a king size mattress as it's a lot of money but sucked it up and made the purchase. I'm glad I did now as the mattress is great and has helped me massively personally. If you have any aches or pains and are considering this mattress, give it a go as Dreams do offer a 100 nights money back guarantee so you've nothing to loose. Also look out for when offers are on, Dreams usually offer Tempur pillows and mattress protectors with in the cost of the mattress if you keep an eye out at key times of the year, NY, Xmas and Black Friday sales.

While the price may seem a little steep at first, I can safely say after a month of use that these pillows are worth every penny. Hands down the best pillow I have ever owned. I was able to try one out while looking for a new mattress, and was skeptical at first, taking it as a bit of an expensive gimmick, but, wow, 10 minutes of use in-store and I was sold. The obvious USP is the CoolTouch feature and it really lives up to the name - it is always cool to the touch. The pillow does warm up a little during use, but you can simply move your head to another part of it to experience that cool pillow feeling again - meaning no more pillow flipping in the middle of the night to get the cool side. It really is something else. The support the pillow provides is also fantastic. I'm a restless sleeper, and fall asleep on my front, but will move around in the night so that I could be on my side or back and it is equally as comfortable for all sleeping positions. My head sinks into the pillow just the right amount, and the pillow springs back to shape very quickly when I move. A great balance of softness/comfort and support. The removable, washable cover is also very handy for keeping your pillows fresher for longer. The ONLY drawback, if you can call it that, is that there is a slight smell to the pillows when you initally start using them, I imagine this is something to do with the CoolTouch feature. But this has already disappeared for me after a month of use. Overall, I couldn't be happier, would recommend these to anyone.

OK, so having broken my back 40 years ago, I’ve spent a fair chunk of my disposable income on different mattresses and beds, latex, pocket sprung, Vi-Spring - you get my drift. Sadly, none of these gave me exactly the correct amount of support in the places where this was crucial to getting a peaceful, restful and refreshing night’s sleep. Fast-forward to our visit to “Dreams” at Plympton. Joy of joys! No pressure, no salesperson hovering over us as we tried to adopt unrealistic “sleeping” poses. Just oodles of time to lie down, turn and try out each mattress (after first addressing our mattress needs using “Dreams” wonderful mattress assessment technology. We spent hours (no really, over 3 hours) testing our final three mattress choices. These were soon whirled down to a leading favourite and a strong contender. After a delicious complimentary cup of excellent coffee, it was back to the rigours if serious testing. This one had everything we wanted: more importantly, despite my best efforts, I couldn’t find a single flaw with this mattress (and I went shopping armed with an extensive “Nit-Pick” list). So there you have it. In my humble opinion, this is probably the world’s best mattress. Expensive? Nothing like the cost of my last mattress which was a Vi-Spring. You’ll spend one-third of your life on a mattress, so don’t skimp on the testing nor the price and buy this mattress - it will be one of the best’ no-risk investments you’ll ever make.

Husband bought the soft version which we tried when we purchased a new mattress and I thought it was quite hard. Fast forward a few months I ended up buying this one as tired of buying ‘superior’ pillows that were really nothing more than a supermarket own brand. At first the coolness of the protector was amazing as I like the cold side of the pillow, however after a few days this pillow ended up causing me a great deal of neck pain as it just was not breaking in and staying solid and occasionally reverted back to my cheap ones to give my neck a break. I did think I might have to get rid of it. Anyway I was washing the cool feel cover and ended up using it without it or a pillow case and what a difference. The pillow actually works and moulds to you. I have since found out that for memory foam to work it needs warmth and unfortunately this cool feel case is actually preventing the pillow from actually working. I started to use the pillow with the cool feel cover unzipped to allow the pillow to flatten otherwise it stays in its rigid state but it’s not the best and just put a normal case on it and it again is not great. I’ll probably buy a very large pillow case and see if that helps. Hopefully this review will give others who have bought this pillow and are struggling with it an idea as to why it may not be living up to expectations and try it a couple of nights with no cases on the pillow.

After sleeping on the mattress, which is definitely more comfortable than our old one, we will be requesting an exchange for the extra firm because the firm that we ordered is just not firm enough. I must say though, that I am disappointed in the after sales customer care. At delivery we realised that the wrong pillows were put n the order form, which I did not pick up at the time of the order. When I called the shop, I was told that they can't do exchanges in the shop and that I would have to pay £10 extra per pillow becuase the special was over. I know which pillows I ordered at the time of the order and I believe that the wrong pillows were deliberately put on the order and if caught at the time would have been corrected, but because I only caught it after delivery, I was told I would have to pay more. I think the customer service like this after such is big order is disappointing. 2 stars for that.

I’m glad to write this review 3 weeks after delivery of my new mattress. Initially, I found it much firmer (purchased medium firmness) than the one tried in the showroom. In fact, I did not like it after first night’s sleep and then after 3 nights wanted to return it! But after some research I decided to persevere. According to some experts advice new mattresses require “breaking in” just like a pair of new shoes. My body got used to the old memory foam unsupportive mattress, hence why the new one felt so awfully uncomfortable. I’m somewhat perplexed why the staff wouldn’t explain/mention this?! So to summarise, my new mattress is absolutely amazing. I wake up feeling refreshed, with no aches, pain or stiffness in the lower back. I would highly recommended - but please give it a chance before you decide it’s not right for you. It’s well worth it!

Quite different to my old mattress and I was conscious I could feel the pattern too much on the first night, however, within a few days I’ve realised I have had unbroken sleep and feel so much better. I am no longer concerned about the pattern on the mattress, it is so comfortable, firm but with a soft topping that seems to mould to your shape and I haven’t been too hot like I usually am. I would recommend this mattress if you can afford to spend that little bit more; I value my sleep so feel the price is appropriate for the luxury comfort this mattress offers.

I’d made a previous expensive mistake- so was very wary - this one is really comfortable, as a side sleeper the IGel helps my shoulder and hip pains, relieving pressure but not too much “sink in” impeding turning over as for memory foam. I have yet to find out if the claims of regulating temperature ( “neither too hot nor too cold”) hold true, but certainly I’ve not been too hot, which I feared. Unable to provide an expert opinion of quality or durability, nor comparison of value for money. But it’s worth it whatever for a good night’s sleep.

The mattress has taken about 2 weeks to start settling in. It moulds nicely to us lying down and were used to rolling over or getting up out of bed as it's a totally different feeling to a normal mattress. For £1700 it was a big purchase and we probably would say its a bit pricey for what it is but we're still glad we got it as it's a huge improvement to the previous standard spring mattress we had. The I gel cooling is definitely a gimmic. It's just lots of foam. A very deep mattress and you will need extra deep fitted sheets.
