A good night's sleep is the greatest kick-start we can give ourselves. Sleeping well is not just about the number of hours, but significantly about the quality of sleep, and that's where the right mattress comes into the picture. Choosing a mattress can make the difference between a restful night and a restless one. With multiple brands, types, and price points, mattresses can look like a maze. This review aims to cover every aspect of one such mattress - the TEMPUR Pro Air SmartCool™ Luxe Medium Mattress.
How we tested
The methodologies were outlined to test the TEMPUR Pro Air SmartCool™ Luxe Medium Mattress were holistic and multi-faceted. We solely focused on the in-shop testing that involved both tactile and perception-based examination. Our tester spent time lying on it in a few positions, and also sat right on the edge to get a feel for how it holds up.
Design and features
This medium comfort mattress from TEMPUR® is indeed a premium product. It's made from their finest memory foam and comes with a depth of 30cm that adds a layer of luxury. The cover, named Pro Air SmartCool™, brings in temperature regulation by transferring heat away from the body, making it TEMPUR®'s coolest mattress range. The cover felt cool and smooth under our tester's hand, not that sticky feel some memory foam covers can have. This mattress is an exclusive offering at Dreams and comes with a ten-year guarantee. The Pro Air SmartCool™ cover isn't just plush but also removable and machine washable at 40 degrees, making maintenance easy. However, its USP is its NASA-born technology that gives the mattress its unique pressure relief and motion absorption characteristics.
Mattress comfort
If you appreciate the balance of firmness and softness, this mattress garners top marks. The delicacy of the cover feels inviting while the firmness imparts the needful support that your body demands. When our tester pressed into the surface and then lay back, it slowly moulded around them rather than letting them sink straight through. Our tester found it cool to lie on, which is the breathable Pro Air SmartCool™ cover doing its job. We were also impressed by the tech-influenced contour-following property that helps provide pressure relief to the body joints. It's comforting while being firm and cool yet contouring.
Suitability
The medium comfort grade works well for people who change position through the night, and it suits side sleepers and those of average weight best.
What customers thought
Owners are mostly happy with it, and many write about sleeping better and waking with less pain. One wrote: "No more back pain the bed." Another said: "I finally can sleep without waking up in pain." The cover gets credit for staying cool too, with one owner saying "The cooling technology works so well compared to the old mattress."
It takes some getting used to. One owner said "it took 2-3 weeks to get used to it", and another, coming from a sprung mattress, missed the push that helps you sit on the edge or get out of bed. A few found the feel wrong for them: one found it "Very Hard for a Medium", another found it too soft and woke with backache, and one called it "way too heat retentive". It's heavy as well, so take one owner's advice and have it delivered to the room it's going in.
The verdict
Ensuring restful sleep isn't a luxury, it's a necessity, and the TEMPUR Pro Air SmartCool™ Luxe Medium Mattress beautifully caters to this requirement. It understands and adapts to your unique weight, shape, and warmth to offer a bespoke sleeping experience. Plus, it supports varied sleep positions. By keeping the body cool and providing exceptional pressure relief, it helps you get a better night's sleep.
