Testing Team Takeaways

To test the TEMPUR Pro Air SmartCool™ Firm 21cm Mattress we have people from our testing team take a closer look at the mattress and form their own opinions. Below is their observations.

Remarkably refreshing, that’s how I would describe my encounter with the TEMPUR Pro Air SmartCool™ Firm Mattress. As someone who varies their sleeping position from night to night, I was curious about how the firm feel of this mattress would manage with a combination sleeper's needs. Despite typically needing a medium firmness for optimal comfort, I was pleasantly surprised by the level of comfort provided by the firm setup of this mattress. The TEMPUR® memory foam, known for its origin from sophisticated NASA technology, really catered to reducing pressure points significantly, which is a major plus for anyone who shifts from back to side sleeping throughout the night.

However, the firm tension, while surprisingly accommodating, did present some challenges. In particular, when sleeping on my side, I could feel a bit more resistance than my usual preference. This could be an issue for anyone lighter or those who primarily sleep on their sides, as the firmness can restrict the necessary sinking feeling that alleviates pressure on the hips and shoulders. On a brighter note, the SmartCool™ technology embedded in this mattress worked its charm every night, offering a cooling escape which proved essential for someone like me who tends to sleep hot. The effortlessness in maintaining a cooler temperature throughout the night was a standout feature, lending itself to uninterrupted, quality sleep despite the firmer feel. This element, coupled with its stellar support, makes it a noteworthy consideration for those who value a cool and supportive sleep experience but might be something to think about for side sleepers seeking softer support.

Why our sleep experts loved it

The power of a good night's sleep can't be overstated. It's the golden chain that ties health and our bodies together. Every aspect of our lives from our mood to our cognitive functioning to our overall well-being is impacted by the quality of our sleep. An investment in your sleeping comforts is, essentially, an investment in your health. Apart from a tranquil environment and some routine bedtime habits, a crucial element to this revitalizing sleep is the mattress you sleep on. Choosing the ideal mattress isn't always a walk in the park. With a range of brands and types across different price ranges, the decision can be daunting. Enter the TEMPUR Pro Air SmartCool™ Firm Mattress, a divine escapade into restful nights and refreshing mornings. This piece furnishes you with an informative review of this premium memory foam mattress.

How We Tested

Our review is based on intensive in-person testing carried out in the store itself due to the constraints of our methodology, as opposed to at home. Unveiling the mattress, we keenly looked into the details, from its design and features to how comfortable it felt. We amassed a diverse collection of individual opinions, then translated them into an easy-to-understand verdict that ensures you get a clear understanding of this product.

Design and Features

The TEMPUR Pro Air SmartCool™ Firm Mattress is an ingenious mix of technology and comfort. Made with premium TEMPUR® memory foam, a product of NASA technology, you can bet on exceptional support especially with its firm comfort grade. This mattress has of the Pro Air SmartCool™ cover, exclusive to the TEMPUR brand, masterfully designed to transfer excess heat away for a cooler sleeping experience. With a sleek 21cm depth and a removable cover that's machine washable at 40 degrees, upkeep of the mattress becomes a breeze. It is important to note that this marvel is exclusively available at Dreams, underlining its uniqueness and superior design.

Mattress Comfort

Exemplary comfort is the standout feature of this mattress. Made with TEMPUR® Advanced Material, the mattress provides next-level pressure relief. This material is specially designed for better motion absorption, which translates to reduced movement and a faster drift into slumber. The Pro Air SmartCool™ cover amplifies the comfort by implementing cooling technology, effectively moving excess heat away from your body. With its firm tension, it becomes an invincible choice for back sleepers, as the mattress mechanisms work to alleviate aches and pains by realigning the spine, neck and hips and evening out body weight.

Suitability

This mattress is a gem for back sleepers and even stomach sleepers to an extent due to its firm comfort grade. It does an exceptional job of conforming gently to your body, giving optimal support that helps you sleep like a baby. However, if you are a side sleeper or have an hourglass figure, this mattress might not be the best option for you as the firm tension may cause unrest due to inadequate sinkage for your hip and shoulder along the support layer.

What Customers Thought

A critical part of our review involved factoring in customers' experiences which provides a useful perspective on the product's capability. Customers echoed the sentiment of exceptional body support courtesy of this mattress's firm feel. They commended the TEMPER® Advanced Material for its enhanced pressure relief for the back and hips. They were also particularly impressed with the Pro Air SmartCool™ cover which ensured they slept cooler with swift heat transfer. The widespread customer satisfaction reverberates its efficacy and quality.

The verdict

Our foray into the TEMPUR Pro Air SmartCool™ Firm Mattress, coupled with customers' experiences, paints a picture of an outstanding mattress. It has revolutionized the concept of sleep with its optimum comfort blended with sophisticated technology. Whether it's the superb body support courtesy of the premium memory foam or the cooling, refreshing feel from the SmartCool™ cover, this mattress turns your bedtime into a luxurious affair. If you're a certified back sleeper seeking an accompaniment for those peaceful nights, look no further than the TEMPUR Pro Air SmartCool™ Firm Mattress. It's a crowning investment for your sleep and, ultimately, your health.

Juxtaposing comfort and support quite brilliantly, the TEMPUR Pro Air SmartCool Mattress wins my heart. The fact that its extraordinary cooling technology wicks away heat at night is a game-changer for warm sleepers like me. However, side sleepers might beg to differ due to its firmness.

We decided to spend a bit more money this time on a mattress after our last Mily one started to sag quite drastically after little more than 6 years. We tested one of the pro air smartcool mattresses in-store (albeit a thicker one) and were sold on it straight away. We got a fantastic deal on a 21" firm version and with the free bedding bundle worth over 800! The difference in sleep quality is literally night and day. The feeling of lying in bed waiting to go to sleep is plush and effortless, you just go to sleep, I can't put it any simpler! The mattress also goes back to it's firmness as it was just bought from the shop after it has cooled down from your body heat softening it up over night. For that reason, we opted for the firm version and glad we did after another salesman from another store said he wished that he went with a former version, so bear that in mind! My only regret, not going with a thicker version, as I think it would add even more comfort (if that's possible), but it is honestly fine! One gripe, the top cover is very slippery, so bedsheets tend to move around a lot, but a gripper set seems to have sorted that.

This mattress has a firmer feel for ultimate body support that gently conforms. The TEMPUR Advanced Material provides enhanced pressure relief for your back and hips. Along with being the best supportive mattress this has even better motion absorption to help reduce movement so you can drift of to sleep quicker. The Pro Air SmartCool cover offers cooling technology, transferring excess heat quickly away from your body so you can sleep cooler.

The service was really helpful, guiding us to the mattress we now absolutely love. It's the best sleep we've had years and we will definitely use them again. We cannot thank Dreams in Truro enough for the service they gave us and we have already recommended them to others. To top it all off, they even managed to deliver it a week early. Five stars all day long.

Upgrading from an old spring mattress to a Tempur is completely game changing for a good night's sleep. I no longer wake up with nearly ad many aches and pains and I enjoy the feeling of the mattress forming around me as I relax. Combined with the pillows it really feels like it's designed to give you a good night's sleep.
