Introducing the TEMPUR Pro Air SmartCool™ Plus Medium Firm Mattress is akin to unveiling a revolutionary approach to sleep. In an era where technology permeates every aspect of our lives, our quest for the perfect sleep has led us to leverage science and innovation. This premium mattress is the embodiment of stellar comfort, ingenious technology, and excellent quality, crafted to cater for a night's slumber that's as refreshing as it is revitalising.
How we tested
Our methodology for testing the Pro Air SmartCool™ Plus Medium Firm Mattress was based on a thorough and holistic approach. We spent multiple nights resting on this marvel of bedding technology under varying conditions. We paid special attention to factors such as motion absorption, temperature regulation, comfort level and pressure relief, which are crucial for a perfect sleep. Further, our exploration of the mattress' attributes was objective, ensuring the robustness of our findings and analysis.
Design and features
The TEMPUR Pro Air SmartCool™ Plus Medium Firm Mattress teems with impressive features beneath its skin. Made with TEMPUR®'s premium memory foam, the mattress has a comforting thickness of 25cm, encapsulating an architecture designed to ensure adaptive support and a satisfying medium-firm comfort. The incorporation of TEMPUR®'s exclusive Pro Air SmartCool™ cover presents a practical solution to heat buildup throughout slumber. The cover is easily removable and can be machine washed at 40 degrees to keep it hygienically clean.
Mattress comfort
Comfort is a subjective domain, which makes it challenging to design a universal solution. However, the Pro Air SmartCool™ Plus provides an ingenious balance. As a medium-firm mattress, it comfortably cradles the body contours while offering the right levels of resistance to avoid a feeling of being 'engulfed'. The memory foam and the advanced layer provide an exquisite handling of pressure points, dissipating any potential discomfort and creating a plush, cosy feeling akin to a gentle embrace.
Suitability
This medium-firm mattress strikes a balance that makes it an excellent choice for side and back sleepers with an average body weight. Its cushioning and adaptive support can offer a satisfying level of comfort irrespective of your favourite sleeping position. However, side sleepers with an hourglass figure might require slightly softer tension for better sunk-in comfort. Back sleepers, on the other hand, will particularly benefit from this tension level with the mattress offering high levels of support.
What customers thought
Most owners are pleased with it, and support is what they keep coming back to: a good number bought it for a bad back and say the morning aching has gone. One owner wrote, "Back pain a thing of the past". Couples say it barely registers when the other person moves. A lot of warm sleepers were braced for a hot memory foam and got the opposite; one put it as "I was fearful it was going to be too warm, but not felt that at all".
Not everyone agrees on the heat: some owners still find it hot at night, with one "not sure what is meant by Smartcool as it is very warm". Several needed a couple of weeks to get used to the feel, while a few never did and called it too firm, some of them swapping it under the comfort guarantee. The two smaller gripes are the slippery zipped cover, which lets fitted sheets slide about, and a chemical smell when new that took a while to fade for some.
The verdict
Overall, the TEMPUR Pro Air SmartCool™ Plus Medium Firm Mattress is a impressive bedding innovation driven by a relentless pursuit for delivering supreme sleep comfort. Despite the cooling capabilities of the SmartCool fabric, it is worth noting that this is a memory foam mattress and still delivers a warming experience, as is characteristic of this material. Its medium-firm tension makes it particularly suitable for back sleepers, and though some side sleepers might find it comfortable, those in need of extra sink might prefer a softer variant. However, if you are seeking a mattress that marries technology, comfort, and adaptive support, this offering from TEMPUR® might just be your perfect nightly retreat.
