Testing team takeaways

To test the TEMPUR Pro Air SmartCool™ Plus Soft 25cm Mattress we have people from our testing team take a closer look at the mattress and form their own opinions. Here is what they found.

I tried the TEMPUR Pro Air SmartCool Plus Soft mattress on the shop floor at a Dreams store, lying on my side and back. As a combination sleeper, I found the softness inviting on my side, but it posed a bit of a challenge when I turned onto my back. I wanted a touch more firmness and didn't feel it quite gave me the support I needed in that position. Cooling was more mixed: the cover felt cool to lie on, but the cooling felt less effective in particularly warm conditions.

What our reviewers found

Pros

Offers a soft yet supportive feeling using the enhanced TEMPUR® foam, providing a wonderful balance that ensures a comfortable sleep.
TEMPUR® Advanced Material absorbs motion, which the listing says limits disturbance from a partner.
Incorporates a cooling cover designed to feel cool to the touch.

Cons

Customers who prefer a firmer mattress may find the soft comfort grade of the TEMPUR Pro Air SmartCool™ Plus may not provide the level of support they need.
Not suited to stomach sleepers, who might find the soft tension does not offer adequate spinal alignment.
The premium TEMPUR® quality and comfort comes with a potentially higher price point, which might not be within everyone's budget.
Individuals who have a higher than average BMI could potentially find the comfort grade too soft, providing inadequate support over time.

The pursuit of fine sleep has never been so charmingly complicated, likely due to the fact that we are becoming more aware that the quality of our sleep significantly impacts the overall quality of life.¹ Not to mention, we all appreciate the elegance of relaxation and the beauty of drifting effortlessly into a slumberous state. That's why the mattress you choose matters, and today we look into the world of the TEMPUR Pro Air SmartCool™ Plus Soft Mattress - a premium memory foam mattress that promises gentleness, support, cleverness, and more all in one package.

How we tested

The approach to testing the TEMPUR Pro Air SmartCool™ Plus Soft Mattress was to live with it, to sleep on it, and to evaluate the details of its design, features, and overall comfort offered. Over a two-week period - embracing a multitude of conditions including warmer and cooler nights and various sleep positions - I had the first-hand experience of the mattress's performance. The goal was to understand not only its notable features but to test them against the familiarity of day-to-day use and various sleeping patterns we all have.

Design and features

The TEMPUR Pro Air SmartCool™ Plus Soft Mattress has a significant 25cm depth, coupled with the promise of an ‘exclusive Pro Air SmartCool™ cover' designed to absorb heat and induce coolness throughout the night. The mattress material itself, renowned TEMPUR® memory foam, originates from NASA's technological advances and promises the best interplay of pressure relief and motion absorption.

Externalising the phrase ‘luxury at its best', the mattress itself is enveloped in a cover that can be removed and washed at a comfortable 40 degrees mark, indicating an attention to detail and practicality. And worth mentioning, is that this mattress range is available exclusively at Dreams, offering a 100-night comfort guarantee and a calming assurance of a 10-year durability guarantee.

Comfort of the Mattress

The soft comfort grade of the TEMPUR Pro Air SmartCool™ Plus Soft Mattress provides a gentle and embracing support, as if welcoming you into a serene slumber. The Pro Air SmartCool™ cover initiates an immediate cool-touch sensation; however, in my own personal experience, the smart cool fabric might sometimes not cool down the mattress as much as desired, and I found it on the warm side. This mattress would thus be a perfect fit for those who prefer a warmer bed. The memory foam thickness sometimes affected movement on the mattress, but the feeling of being cradled by the foam, moulding itself to the body, balances it out.

Suitability

This mattress's soft tension makes it an ideal candidate for side sleepers and those with lower than average Body Mass Index (BMI). Also worth mentioning is its suitability for people with hourglass figures who need some extra sinkage from the support layer.

What customers thought

Owners who come to it with a sore back or hips write about the pressure relief. One wrote that "pressure points are definitely alleviated", another that "I wake with no more aches like I did my old mattress". Partner movement gets the same sort of praise: "Can’t feel my partner moving around either", as one owner put it.

Owners are split on the cooling cover. Some call it a "Very comfortable and cool mattress", while a fair number say the opposite, one writing "I find it a very warm mattress to sleep on" and another that "the cooling top just heats up when warm".

The softness is the other gripe. It "sinks in a lot which takes getting used to", one owner wrote, and another whose back got worse because "I sink too far into the mattress" headed their review "Good if you are light". The price comes up often, usually as "worth every penny", though one owner was "a little disappointed" after "expecting an amazing sleep experience due to the high price".

The verdict

The TEMPUR Pro Air SmartCool™ Plus Soft Mattress is indeed a considerable investment in the promise of restful, supportive, and adaptive sleep. The fact that it is paired with beneficial guarantees, including the impressive 10-year warranty, offers security that could make the investment worthwhile. However, if you naturally warm up during the night, take note that this mattress sleeps on the warm side despite its smart cool cover. Still, it is an impressive blend of space-age technology and current market leading innovation crafted into a bed that aims to make your sleeping hours an exquisite experience.

I recently purchased the TEMPUR Pro Air SmartCool Plus Soft 25cm Mattress and it has genuinely transformed my sleep. From the very first night, the comfort was noticeable - the mattress has a beautifully soft feel while still providing excellent support. It contours perfectly to the body, relieving pressure points and making it incredibly comfortable whether sleeping on my side or back. One of the standout features is the SmartCool cover. It really does feel cool to the touch and helps regulate temperature throughout the night, which is great if you tend to sleep warm. I've noticed far less tossing and turning because the mattress maintains a comfortable temperature. The motion isolation is also fantastic. Movements on one side of the bed barely transfer to the other, which makes a big difference if you share the bed. Overall, the build quality feels premium and exactly what you would expect from TEMPUR. It's supportive, breathable, and luxuriously comfortable. Waking up without aches and feeling properly rested has made this mattress worth every penny. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade their sleep.

Purchased the softest tempur on offer. Tempur Pro SmartCool Soft Mattress. I had informed the advisor I had a very bad back and needed soft bed as hard beds make my back problem worse. Wasn't told these Tempur mattresses need 'bedding in' for several weeks and they also need to be kept in warmer rooms as if in a room that is cool or cold they get firm again. After just a couple of weeks and hardly any sleep as awake in pain all night because mattress is so hard we have asked for exchange. Now having to wait weeks for delivery or replacement mattress. If you have a sore back or any back problems and need softer bed avoid avoid avoid buying a Tempur mattress. I now have been forced to sleep in another room on a spare bed because the very expensive Tempur is the most uncomfortable mattress I've ever experienced in my entire life. And until my delivery of the exchanged pocket spring mattress arrives this is where I have to sleep. If I had been told the correct information in the first place I definitely would not have purchased a Tempur mattress.

I've been really impressed with this Tempur mattress. From the first night, it felt noticeably supportive while still being very comfortable, with a firm but pressure-relieving feel that adapts well to the body. It does a great job of reducing pressure points, especially around the shoulders and hips, which makes it much easier to settle into a comfortable sleeping position. The support feels consistent across the whole surface, so there's no sinking or uneven feeling during the night. Another thing I've noticed is how stable it feels when moving around. It provides good motion isolation, so you're not disturbed as much if you shift positions during sleep. Overall, it's made a real difference to the quality of sleep, and I'm very happy with how comfortable and supportive it is.

I suffer from joint pain and with my old bed I slept with SEVEN pillows on top of the mattress to ease the pain. When I tried the Tempur soft memory foam mattress in the Dreams store it felt very different, but I'd heard bad things about memory foam mattresses (too hot, nasty smell from off gassing - and I'm VERY fussy about smells!) However I was persuaded that Tempur was different and decided to go for it. I can honestly say that I haven't noticed the mattress being hot at all, and the 'new' smell was very, very mild and wore off in a few days. As for the joint pain, I sleep significantly better on my new Tempur mattress. I can lie comfortably on my side now and all those extra pillows have gone. I'm very glad I took the plunge.

Since I bought this pro Air Plus Smartcool Soft 25 S mattress for an adjustable bed I have slept through the night for three weeks and my joints have stopped aching. That has been worth the cost of the mattress for me. I'm so glad I bought it. The sales person in the Dreams store was knowledgable and patient while I tried out the various options in different sleeping positions. I was not sure if the soft or medium would be best for me but the option to try the mattress for up to 100 days meant I could change it if it turned out to be too soft. In fact it is fine. The mattress is heavy which makes putting a fitted sheet on a bit more difficult but it doesn't need turning Just as well as I live on my own and am 70.

My new Tempur is good, but it takes a little getting used to. Its on the firmwr side from a bounce point ofnview, but bwcauae it moulds to your shape it is still a soft bed. I sleep on my front or side and it suits me well, as I normally struggle with any minute lump or bump. The mattress protector is not for me, it has a plasticated later which makes .e feel like a 5 years old on plastic sheets, and to my mind reduces the forming effect of the mattress. Id just as soon sleep.directly on the plush removable covering. Fitted sheets are a must as they tend to slide around over the matrress covering like saturn sheets would. Generally it takes a week or two to get used to but I prefer it to the sprung type.

Best purchase I have ever made. After an accident that took place in December and after cancer surgery, sleep and comfort is so key for recovery. The accident that took place in December has caused a significant amount of pain and has caused the hot flushes through a medically induced menopause to sky rocket BUT although I may not sleep a solid 6-8 hours, the hours that I now sleep, are so much more comfortable and of a better quality than before which means it makes life that little bit easier. Can't thank Julie enough and the team that delivered the mattress too. I am too weak to be able to help my partner, so the fact that was an option for a small extra cost, was a no brainer.

After sleeping on the mattress for a couple of weeks now I'd like to say how pleased we are with it. I was worried I'd get hot in it but no we stay at a comfortable temperature all night. It is still a little firm but we were told in the shop it would take a while to get to it full softness, but it is already very comfortable. After getting out of bed it reverts back to it original shape so there are no dips and ridges just as they said it would be. This is the third mattress we have had in the last five years both of the other two were memory foam mattresses but do not compare to the tempur mattress by a long way. So far I'm really pleased with our latest purchase.

Going to the Dreams store was without doubt the best decision i could have made when thinking about purchasing a bed. The staff were not only verry friendly but extremely knowledgeable. They showed me only the mattresses that were suitable for me saving me time and effort. I knew within a short time what i wanted and what i needed. After a nice cup of coffee i chose the matres i wanted. Its the most comfortable nights sleep I have had for years. I extremely satisfied with my new mattress and the free pillow that i received. I will definitely recommend Dreams to all my friends and family if they are looking to buy a bed or matres. Thank you very much. Ray

A soft memory foam mattress takes a bit of getting used to, but once you have done it it is incredibly comfortable. If you sleep on your side particularly, it sinks where it needs to sink and supports your body weight evenly all over. My wife has back problems and this mattress means she can finally have a good night's sleep. One quirk is that you really can't use normal sheets - luckily Tempur sells elastic fitted sheets that can accommodate the flexibility of the mattress. They are pricey but make a world of difference. Only had the mattress a couple of months but hoping for years of good sleep. Enjoy!

I love my new mattress which I have had now for about one month. The mattress I had before was a firm orthopaedic and was too hard for the bottom of my spine which has osteoporosis. I decided I wanted a soft mattress and that's what the sleepmatch came up with. Fortunately Dreams Reading had a soft one and yes I was amazed how expensive it was but it was so comfy. I weigh 56k and I do sink into it which was strange the first night but I no longer get the pain in my back which is fantastic and I find it cool to sleep on even though I sleep in a hot room. Really pleased I bought this mattress.

I weigh just over 12st and I bought this mattress (soft version) because I am suffering from both back and hip problems. I thought the mattress would relieve these issues to some extent, but sadly, whilst I have got some relief from hip soreness, if anything my back pain is made worse by the mattress. This is simply because I sink too far into the mattress and subsequent movement induces pain. In fairness the person who sold me the mattress did suggest the medium mattress. I am therefore going to invoke the exchange option and hopefully that will give more support to my back.

This is our second Tempur (the first lasting over 20 years), so the new mattress came with great expectations. From using Dreams interactive mattress, and having options in store of the actual mattresses made our choice easy. The ordering and delivery service was excellent (not sure how the delivery guy carried the mattress to the house by himself - but he did). It took a few days for the mattress to settle in, and we weren't sure we had selected the correct one, but our worries soon disappeared and we can honestly say it has been the best mattress we have ever had.

After many years of restless nights, this new mattress has completely transformed my sleep. From the very first night, I noticed the perfect balance of comfort and support. It gently cushions pressure points while keeping my back aligned, so I wake up relaxed and pain-free. The quality is immediately obvious, and it feels wonderfully luxurious. Even after several weeks, it still feels as good as new. I'm falling asleep faster, sleeping more deeply, and waking with real energy again. An outstanding purchase that I truly wish I'd made sooner.

Really comfy, like sleeping on a cloud! They're not cheap and you see alternates bring advertised on TV for a fraction of the price. But I'm led to believe they are cheaper far-Eastern manufactured mattresses, without the same level of technology/research/cooling. Whereas Tempura are allegedly EU made and are at the forefront of mattress technology. We will see! The one think too be aware of, you will feel warmer on a Tempura Vs a traditional pocket sprung mattress. After all, foam is an insulator!

This mattress may not be for everyone as it's very soft and due to the nature of Tempur mattresses it sinks in a lot which takes getting used to. I do find that my mattress cover and bedsheet pop off the corners a lot due to how much the mattress sinks which can be quite frustrating as it happens regularly. One other thing to note is the mattress stinks when you first receive it and I would highly recommend not using it for at least a week or two if possible to let it air out fully.

Bought this bed as suffered back pain and was reassured in shop this mattress would suit. Several months later both myself and husband haven't had a decent night's sleep yet. Every day waking like weve been in a car crash sore hip bones and sore sacrum. Wouldn't not advise anyone to buy Tempur. Such an expensive purchase for not good quality I am now left paying for a bed on finance I cannot sleep on and contacted store and managers who cannot help. AVOID!!

We've had the mattress around 2 weeks now. Positives: less back ache compared to old mattress; nice to sink into the mattress (hard mattresses are the babe of my life); comfy and cosy. Negatives: sweaty, despite the 'cool gel' cover - I'm unsure how this will be in summer; the base sheet slides easily off the mattress so one partner is moved across the bed if the other person turns over; too much 'bounce' to one partner if the other one tosses and turns.

I have been looking at a Tempur's mattress for a while but was reluctant due to the cost. However I recently decided to go for it and I am 100% glad that I did. It's so comfy and supportive. Previously, I would wake with aches/pains but I can honestly say that I don't anymore. I got a soft mattress (which is what I was matched to in dreams) and I am delighted with my purchase. Highly recommend!! Only problem is getting up in the morning!

It's a lot of money for a mattress but the Tempur is more than worth it! I was a little nervous about the soft grade but I'm a side sleeper and it's awesome. The Tempur feeling is second to none. Never slept better and no regrets at all. Wouldn't go back to a pocket spring mattress and believe me I'm really fussy! Try one and don't believe any negative reviews on the internet.. just make the decision yourself based on what you think.

Been using this mattress for a couple of months now, sleep has improved greatly for both parties! It is supportive for arthritic joints and for aches and pains from an intense manual day job. No indentations have occurred so far and when one party moves the other party no longer gets bounced around like a game of pinball! We would definitely recommend this mattress, sinking into it every night is like a Dream(s)!

This is the mattress that was recommended to us in store. We have tried it for 6 weeks. It is very comfortable and supportive compared to our old mattress. However, I am currently a hot sleeper (age/hormones) and on this mattress I wake up feeling like there is a furnace underneath me. Unfortunately, for this reason, I will be looking to exchange it. It's a shame as it otherwise seems great.

I'm telling you this is the real winner in my life right now. We just moved to London and had to get a new mattress and bed. We loved our old one, so we were really cynical that we'd find something nearly as good. But I'm telling you, this exceeds every expectation. And like a fine wine, a good cheese, or your favorite jeans...it just gets better as time goes on. Worth every pound.

We have migrated from a standard spring matress to a soft Tempur SmartCool matress. We're 6 weeks in now and I see no signs of returning it under Dreams' 100 night return policy. Waking up with pain is now prteyy much a thing of the past. Love the fact that I can't feel my partner get up in the middle of the night to visit the tiolet! Wouldl I recommend?

Tested on the machine in Dreams in Rusilip what mattress would best suit me when I would have gone for a medium or firm and so went for the soft. You don't need to turn the mattress over but turn it around. It is heavy so needed my daughters help to turn it around. when my daughter has stayed over she finds it comfortable as I've always gone for mattresses with springs

Mixed feedback, my husband loves it, me not so much. It's not bad but the cooling top just heats up when warm. The foam does expand again quickly but I'm not a huge lover, I ache a little when I get up but not as much as many other mattresses. My husband wakes up without any aches or pains and loves this mattress. Is it worth the money For me no. For my husband, yes

From the first night a great night's sleep. The mattress has taken a bit of getting used to as it's so different to any other mattress I have slept on, my husband describes it as getting onto a ball of dough as there is no bounce or spring. That said it is remarkably comfortable and so far I am really pleased with it. (Only had it for two and a half weeks).

Only a month in but my back and hips are all feeling like I am on a little cloud, pressure points are definitely alleviated and when my partner moves, I no longer feel like I am going to end up against the wall.

We didn't realise how good thebTempur is until we had to go back to our previous hybrid mattress while renovating our house. The first morning after we slept on our old one (actually less than 2 years old) both my husband and I had a back ache. And ever since. We cannot wait to go back to our Tempur. It's not cheap but quality of sleep is very important.

After a month using the mattress, I am so very comfortable in my bed. I might not sleep well for other reasons but at least I'm not tossing and turning to find a comfy bit. Like being weightless. Only downside is the size, shorter and narrower than my previous doubles and bottom sheets won't stay put as it moves about in my bed frame.

No exaggeration when I say that this mattress is worth every penny. It's an investing in yourself and what an investment it is. We purchased a soft mattress and we simply sink into it. I have had no more stiff hips or a bad back since sleeping on it. The adjustment took no time at all. We rave about our Tempur mattress!

For the first night, it was a little strange as we were going from a very old spring mattress.

I chose Dreams because of the staff. They knew more about the products, they seemed more interested in making sure I got the right mattress, and they were much more helpful. I'd been in a load of different bed stores but trusted Dreams more. It wasn't just about the price. The mattress itself is incredible.

I was expecting an amazing sleep experience due to the high price so a little disappointed. Not as comfortable as i was expecting but my husband loves it. Mind you, he can sleep on anything! Dont find it particularly breathable either. Probably could have spent a third of the price for the same result.

I've been sleeping on a Tempur mattress and it's honestly amazing. It's super comfortable and supports my body really well. The memory foam feels soft but firm, and it helps take pressure off my back and joints. It's a bit pricey, but totally worth it for the quality sleep I get. Highly recommended.

I've rated this mattress 4 stars, only because as far as I'm concerned it shouldn't be called smartcool plus. Yes its extremely comfortable, once I got used to it, but it certainly doesn't keep me cool. I also appreciate all the technology behind it, but I don't think it warrants the asking price.

We originally ordered soft but had to exchange for firm as we would sink down the middle which wiuld make it feel super hot. Despite being smart cool it does feel hot most times. The firm still feel super soft and with few weeks turns quite soft. But it is perfect now for what we wanted

Very glad

I have been sleeping better since getting this mattress, finding it comfortable. The advice that I was given in store by a friendly and knowledgeable sales colleague meant that I was confident in my purchase and the option to have it installed and the old one removed was a real bonus.

After visiting the dreams store and using the sleep machine we picked out the Soft Tempur mattress. It took a few weeks to be delivered and when it first arrived it felt quite firm however after a few nights of sleeping on it it's as soft as it was in the shop. Very pleased with it.

This mattress is like nothing I have experienced before. Not even matched with 5 star hotels. Sleep on the back, move to the side, it all flows very smoothly and the pressure adjusts perfectly. My sleep has improved and think it was worth every penny. Highly recommended.

Although it's taken a little while to get used to we now wouldn't change our Tempur mattress. Once we're in it feels like it cocoon's us, supporting our very different sleeping positions and moving with us throughout the night without disturbing each other. Marvellous!

Not for us, but it if you want memory foam, this is the original. Very comfortable, but my wife had a reaction to the polyurethane so we had to replace it with a natural mattress. No problem with Dreams' exchange guarantee.

Questions and answers about the TEMPUR Pro Air SmartCool™ Plus Soft 25cm Mattress

Common questions answered by our team first, then questions shoppers asked the retailer, with the retailer’s own answers.

Common question

Could you tell me more about the comfort grade of the mattress? I'm looking for something very soft and gentle.

Answer: The comfort grade of the mattress is classified as soft, which offers gentle and cosy support to the body as it sleeps. It is perfect for those who prefer cushion-like comfort over firm support. NASA-designed technology from TEMPUR has been applied to the layers of the mattress ensuring that it moulds effectively to the shape of your body, giving that weightless feeling when you rest. Additionally, the mattress is within TEMPUR's coolest ever range, thanks to the exclusive Pro Air SmartCool cover that absorbs heat throughout the night.

Common question

Does this mattress offer benefits for those who tend to sleep on their side or possess lower than average BMI?

Answer: The soft tension of this unit is perceived as ideal for side sleepers and individuals with a lower BMI. The mattress presents an excellent balance of softness and support which effectively caters to the contours of the body. It's also a particularly good option for those with hourglass figures who require extra depth from the support layer of their mattress.

Common question

I'm interested in the cooling cover technology. Can you tell me more about how that works?

Answer: The Pro Air SmartCool cover, exclusive to this mattress, utilises advanced cooling technology that imparts an instant cooling sensation upon touch.

What makes the TEMPUR Pro Air SmartCool™ Plus Soft 25cm Mattress great?

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

Exclusive Pro Air SmartCool™ cover absorbs heat throughout the night

The exclusive cover helps regulate temperature by absorbing excess heat, promoting a cooler sleep environment. This feature caters to those who may experience night-time discomfort associated with overheating.

Removable cover is machine washable at 40 degrees

The cover comes off and goes in the machine at 40 degrees, so you can wash the surface fabric without washing the whole mattress, pillow or topper; follow the care label for drying.

Product Benefits: Cooling

Cooling is a marketed benefit. The claimed effect usually involves cover fabric or materials that let heat move away, while your room and bedding also influence the feel.

From TEMPUR®'s coolest ever mattress range

Within TEMPUR's range, these mattresses are said to offer a cooler sleeping experience, a temperature-related claim worth weighing alongside the feel and support.

Rest easy with a 10-year guarantee

A ten year manufacturer's guarantee is included. The retailer's conditions explain which faults qualify for cover and the steps needed to submit a claim.

Soft comfort grade gives gentle support

TEMPUR rates the feel as soft and calls the support gentle, indicating a more yielding surface for buyers who prefer less resistance under body weight.

Born from NASA technology

TEMPUR traces its foam technology to NASA cushioning research, connecting that history with material designed to mould around the body under pressure.

Comforting 25cm depth

Measuring 25cm (about 9.8 inches) deep, the mattress is pitched as comforting, while its thickness affects fitted sheet depth and overall bed height.

Comfort grade: Soft

The listing calls it soft, with greater sinkage than medium or firm options, particularly suited to lighter people and side sleepers.

Depth: 25cm

A 25cm (about 9.8 inches) mattress needs deep-pocket sheets and sits higher; on a frame, see which part the dimensions measure.

Turnable: Single-sided

A single sleeping surface needs rotation from end to end every few months to spread wear, without turning it over.

Sleepmotion compatible: Yes

Sleepmotion compatibility means it can bend with the adjustable base as its head and foot sections rise.

Guarantee: 10 years

Ten years of guarantee cover apply to this piece, and the retailer's terms explain how to make a claim.

Premium TEMPUR® memory foam mattress

TEMPUR says the foam moulds to you with warmth and pressure, then slowly recovers.

Weight: 39kg

At 39kg (about 6st 2lb), it needs two people to lift.
