Why our sleep experts loved it

So we have got a treat for you all today with a fresh review for the improved TEMPUR CoolTouch Original Elite Mattress. From one of the biggest and most popular brands in the industry, Tempur has made inroads into the higher quality mattress segment with this new CoolTouch Original Elite.

The Cooltouch Original Elite Mattress is the top of the range in mattresses sold from the Dreams retailer and is well regarded within the industry as a market leader. The product performs well in both comfort and support thanks to that exclusive and unique Tempur premium memory foam which offers the perfect balance.

To start, this is a premium memory foam mattress, so you get all the comfort of memory foam with the premium quality of the Tempur brand. What separates this mattress from others at this price point is the incredible 10 year guarantee included. This means that if anything goes wrong with that mattress within that 10 year period, it is taken care of. Let’s take a moment to unpack that, the average person has a mattress for 7 years before having to replace it due to wear and tear, settlement problems and more. With 10 years guarantee, the retailer and supplier are basically putting their reputation and finances on the line and is a testament to the quality of the mattress.

What is TEMPUR CoolTouch?

Tempur has been making the Original Elite mattress for a number of years that, with time has seen it get carved up on price by a number of different high street retailers and online powerhouses. In recent months however, the Cooltouch model has arrived unique to Dreams that aims to address the warming foam of the previous model while increasing breathability, hygiene and durability as a result. The CoolTouch technology is a premium material which is woven throughout the cover in order to help increase breathability and produce a cooling affect which regulates excess body heat. Predictably given its namesake, the CoolTouch technology remains somewhat cool to the touch albeit not too cool to be uncomfortable, in-fact we wouldn't really call it cooling so much as a neutral heat regulator that keeps everything at a reasonable room temperature making it ideal for those that need an all-season and all year round mattress.

This particular model also features what has been dubbed QuickRefresh™ which in reality is a detachable cover that can be machine washed at 60 degrees celsius. People often overlook removable covers but shouldn't, you see the mattress will last close to a decade and in that time you will sweat into the mattress which makes it less hygienic and causes breathability issues with time. By allowing a removable cover, you get piece of mind and a fresher, better nights sleep. We recommend removable covers wherever possible.

When trialling this mattress, we found it on the firmer side. A firmer mattress is a great choice for those that are looking for a bit more support in their sleep, or suffer from back/neck pain. If you are on the smaller side, or found yourself being a side sleeper, this may not be the mattress for you, however, for everyone else, this is an absolute no brainer in terms of quality, support and lifespan.

The Cooltouch comes in a variety of standard popular sizes ranging from single, double king and super king. This means you will have no issue finding the right mattress to suit your bed frame.

Reviews for the Tempur Cooltouch Original Elite Mattress are fantastic, with over 900 review at time of writing making it the best selling and best performing mattress in the Dreams upper-quality segment and price point. Customers particularly enjoyed the level of support offered in the mattress with overs commenting on the great guarantee and confidence they have in the long-lasting ability of the product. Given the impressive 10 year guarantee, this isn't surprising as it far exceeds the competition at a price that when broken down, is fairly reasonable on a cost-per-night-of-sleep thanks to the longer standing durability offered.

We purchased this mattress to replace an old king size Ikea bedframe and mattress that was sunken in the middle. Both of us suffered with back / hip / shoulder pains and we felt a new bed and mattress would help. We chose this mattress based on the guarantee that came with it, but it was also the most comfortable of all the mattresses tried - just. In terms of the cool touch, I'm not sure if I can compare vs other similar types of mattresses, but it's as cool as the memory foam topper we had before. I personally am suffering less with both hip and shoulder, but that could have improved with a different new mattress too. Overall, I do feel like I could have purchased a mattress for half of the cost and still have found it to be very comfortable as this mattress is. Time will tell if it has the durability and quality to command the price it does. Long story short - very comfortable, very expensive and would probably, really, buy a mattress for half the cost and still be happy next time.

Good experience in the shop, no hard sell, allowed to take time and knowledgeable, friendly people. Mattress is very good, possibly not as good as the Tempur mattress it replaced was when new (20 years ago). Expensive, though! Beware the CoolTouch cover thing which is just an excuse for Dreams not to fulfil the price promise (cheaper elsewhere) because it is "exclusive" to Dreams. If CoolTouch is not important to you, you can find the identical mattress elsewhere for 250 less. Also note, if you buy in store there's no right to cancel, so you may as well buy online in case you find it cheaper elsewhere later. Having said that, Dreams Customer Service did fulfil the special offer which came in between ordering and delivery (100 off and 2 free pillows) without fuss, and they did throw in recycling of old mattress for free. Delivery was straightforward if earlier in the day than promised so lucky we were in, and delivery people were very pleasant and careful.

This is our 4th week's sleep on this mattress and, after 1 week, settled into it very well. We had the bedroom window open for a few hours each day during that first week to enable the 'new' smell to fade away which is no longer noticeable. I had read 1 review that mentioned lower back pain so was wary in the beginning due to having bulging discs which cause issues now and again. I am pleased to say that this mattress supports my back extremely well due to the memory foam supporting in all the right places and I no longer wake with aches and pains. I can also sleep on my side on occasion knowing that my hip/shoulder will be moulded into the mattress which, in turn, then supports my ribcage comfortably (I recommend putting the Tempur pillow between knees for this position as it moulds perfectly to knees/ankles). When sharing this mattress the movement of the other person is less noticeable and much quieter than our old one!

My wife and I tried this mattress in the store, and it felt so good that everything else felt uncomfortable in comparison! We had the TEMPUR mattress delivered, and initially it took a few nights to get use to. It feels very firm initially and a bit unusual as you realise that it lets you sink slowly into it. Initially it was also a bit odd to leave a body-shaped dent in the mattress as you come off, and to see the mattress slowly reform to its normal flat surface. After a few nights of getting used to it, the mattress feels great and feels like its worth the money. My wife and I get comfortable quicker than on our previous mattress, and we also toss and turn far less during the night. It feels like a treat every night to get into bed and enjoy the mattress, as it moulds to the shape of your body, which supports and makes you feel so comfortable to enjoy a great nights sleep.

We have had this mattress for a month now. Originally we went into a store nearby and explained that although our current mattress is only 2 years old, I was having back issues and thought it may be too firm. The other store tried to sell us a softer mattress that was on offer without asking us many questions about our life or age etc. I wanted to check out our local dreams store before committing to anything and I am so glad we did. We were greeted by David, who clearly knew his mattresses. He recommended we were assessed on the machine they had in store, which advised a handful of mattresses at a variety of prices. We tried them all, and settled on this one. We have a super king size bed, so this wasn't cheap, and I was a bit nervous if we would really get on with it. My husband and I both love this new mattress and I am very glad we took the time to check out Dreams.

I have to admit we were slightly hesitant at first because of the price. However, we decided it is worth the investment since the bed is where were going to spend one-third of our lives in. One of the factors that convinced us was the fact that, unlike most other mattresses, we would never have to replace a Tempur mattress. We went into a store and tried several mattresses out. Every time we tried another mattress, we came back to the Tempur because of the right balance of soft and firm, the fantastic cool feeling on our skin and the support we felt from head to toe. Its been almost a month since weve had the bed and my husband, who used to have back pains, has not felt any pain since. Both of us look forward to end of the day when we can retire to our comfortable bed and enjoy a great nights sleep.

I was really in need of a new mattress after a lot of researching i decided to pop into dreams the service was brilliant from start to finish i used the sleep station machine which they Programme for you with your details and it tells you what sort of mattress would be better for you. In my case due to bad lower back pain and shoulder neck pain i was advised medium to firm I tried the tempur one which was at the front of the shop very expensive but oh my god so comfy it moulded to my body shape after thinking about changing my mattress i thought along the lines of something cheaper but the tempur one was most comfy for me, so i purchased it usually i have buyers remorse but this time i didnt i couldn't wait for delivery day and a month after delivery still happy with my decision.

On the fence with this mattress - it's conforms to your bodyshape over a few minutes. The initial sinking sensation is weird, but we knew that when we bought it. What I struggle with is the difficulty in changing position - at that point it's like you're lying on an old bumpy mattress and you somehow have to predict the exact shape you want to lie in and fight the lumps, and then wait a few minutes and hope you got it right. We've had the mattress for 3 weeks now, and while it gives great support for a night's sleep (neither of us have woken with aches and pains) in the last few days we've been ill (flu) which has made sleeping harder. It's very hard to toss and turn comfortably, as I devoted above, so I've found it very frustrating. My wife doesn't have a problem with it though

My partner and I have been sleeping on this mattress for about 2 months and we are very pleased. This mattress has conquered us since we tried it in the store, it will model according to the shape of the body .. honestly, I have long dreamed of such a mattress. My dream cost me a lot, but it was worth seeing my dream come true and I can enjoy it every night. Whoever has the opportunity to buy it, we highly recommend it, because it is about our own health. P.S. A little observation: if you put yourself on the mattress during the day it will be a strange feeling at first, because you will sit , which means that the whole body weight is at one point, and the mattress will sink quite hard. It'll take something until you get used to it, but can be very funny.

Having suffered with chronic fibromyalgia and very bad arthritis for many years I have tried a few different mattresses over the years but have never really found one that has helped me to get a comfortable sleep. I decided to purchase a Tempur mattress and it was the best thing I have ever bought and will never look back again, it takes about 2-3 night to get used to but what a difference it has made to my life. I know sleep better and wake up more refreshed not totally pain free but in a lot less pain than normal to start my day the mattress supports you and balances out your weight and the cooltouch keeps you cool for a comfortable sleep I also bought the cooltouch pillows and they are amazing too thank you dreams and tempur wish I purchased you sooner.

I had previously purchased a memory foam mattress but had issues with heat build up so was recommended this product by Dreams. I can't fault the comfort but had issues immediately with heat build up - to the point that I have had to change my night clothes 2-3 times per night. The Tempur mattress protector made the problem worse. Having researched a little, I understand this is a continuing issue for many people even though Tempur claim to have solved it. I have am currently awaiting a wool pad system which (according to my research) solves the problem. In short, Tempur have not solved the excessive heat issue which can occur with these mattresses - which negates the other benefits. FYI I am not perimenopausal (if you are I certainly wouldn't risk it).

I was a little hesitant at first having never slept on a tempur mattress before. When you first unpackage the mattress there is a slight smell, not a horrible smell, more of a industrial type smell. This is normal and quickly fades away. The first night the feel of the mattress compared with a more traditional mattress was strange and I wondered if this type of mattress was really for me. However, by the third night, i had adjusted to the memory foam and couldn't imagine sleeping on anything else. The memory foam cradles you while you sleep, I wake up without the aches and pains I used to with my old mattress. Yes its more expensive but I highly recommend you pay the extra and feel the difference for yourself, you won't regret it!

Questions and Answers About The TEMPUR CoolTouch™ Original Elite Mattress

Prospective customers had the following questions about the product

Redhead 45

Can we use a slatted base ?

Answer: TEMPUR mattresses must always be placed on a well-ventilated bed base or frame with feet, castors or legs to allow air to circulate freely, preventing moisture from accumulatingBases with sturdy platform tops or slats (no more than 90mm apart) work best in terms of support and airing, check everything is level before you put your mattress on to use.Many thanks

Sweat man

Why do I sweat so much sleeping on this mattress and what can I do about it?

Answer: Unfortunatley we cannot answer questions like these as there can be numerous reasons as to why you sweat when sleeping on this mattress. We can only advise to try use cotton sheets and clothing as these are breathable materials.Many thanks

What Makes The TEMPUR CoolTouch™ Original Elite Mattress Great?

We've expanded on the specifications of the product to better help you understand it's benefits.

Premium memory foam mattress

Premium Memory foam is a very popular and luxurious mattress layer to aid in comfort. The buzz around memory foam is well justified, it is incredibly comfortable and makes it feel like you are sleeping on a cloud. Standard caveats apply however, memory foam can make you hot and this may present a problem for those that do find themselves getting warm through the night. For those with this issue, take a look at a Latex mattress. For everyone else though, you cannot beat it.

3cm - Comfort material

The 3cm comfort material here is unique to Tempur and is made up of a compound of foam that is soft to the touch and allows you to sink into the mattress. This layer is softer than those beneath it and does not offer support, instead, this particular layer is for comfort only and feels like you are sleeping on a cloud.

6.5cm - Durable base

The Tempur 6.5cm Durable base is a high-quality mattress base that is designed to provide lasting comfort and support. This base is made from Tempur's unique foam, which contours to your body and provides superior pressure relief. The Durable base also features a layer of firmness in this layer for added support.

Comfort Grade - Medium

A Medium firmness mattress is the most common build offered due to the range of suitability offered in such a mattress. This type of mattress will be better suited toward averagely weighted people, while lighter people should opt for a medium-light, and heavier people considering a medium-firm.

All TEMPUR® mattresses are no turn, so there is no need to flip or rotate the mattress

When it comes to mattresses, you generally need to rotate them when they are single sided, and flip them when double sided. With this range from Tempur though, there's no need, these mattresses require no turning, rotating or flipping. A win for your back and a save on stress and hassle.

Exclusive CoolTouch™ mattress cover designed to manage excess heat through the night

The mattress comes with a unique woven material that is crafted into the cover of the mattress and helps keep it cool to the touch while also absorbing any excess heat. The material gives you enhanced comfort and support for the entire body while keeping you cool as you sleep.

9cm - Support material

The support material is typically a type of cold-foam or reflex foam that offers a good degree of support that makes it ideal for body contouring while offering enough sinkage to be a great alternative to traditional support springs commonly utilised in this area.

2x 6.5cm - Durable base

The multi-layer construction using DuraBase™ Technology aids in reducing motion transfer. This means that when one sleeper moves or changes position, the other sleeper is less likely to be disturbed, ensuring a more peaceful and uninterrupted night's sleep.

10 year guarantee as standard

Normally you only see a 1 year guarantee as standard. You know that a product is of the highest quality when you have this sort of protection against any sort of failure and dipping that may occur outside of normal settlement

Durable and supportive

Hard wearing but not at a risk of losing the support that your body needs. Bare in mind that a mattress typically only get's replaced after 8 years, so durability is important for that sort of lifespan

QuickRefresh™ cover, easy to unzip and wash at 60°C

The benefit of being removable is that you are not stuck with unsightly stains that you cannot get out of your mattress. Cat being sick on the mattress? No dramas, throw it in the washing.

10 Year Guarantee

A 10 year guarantee is a huge reflection of just how much trust the manufacturer and the retailer have in their product. for reference, mandatory requirements are for a 1 year guarantee.

25cm depth

25cm depth is about average for a mattress, it leaves plenty of room for good quality fillings while still allowing you to fit a standard sheet over it.

Body moulding

The use of certain base and upper layers to help mold to the body giving extreme comfort and decent support.

Exclusive CoolTouch™ mattress cover to keep you cool at night

Stay cool regardless of how hot it is with the special cooling properties within this quilted cover.

25cm - Depth

Average mattress depth, suitable for most mattress covers.
