Why Our Sleep Experts Loved It

becky says

The Tempur Sensation Elite Mattress is a top choice for people who want the best quality mattress at an affordable price. The mattress is made from high-quality materials that guarantee comfort and support. It’s also designed to adjust to your body’s natural shape, giving you a more aligned and healthy sleeping experience.

With a rating of 4.8 out of 5 stars through Bensons for Beds, customers clearly agree that it’s an excellent quality mattress at an affordable price. It’s also very durable and can last for many years before needing to be replaced, hence why the popular brand has backed this product with their impressive 10-year guarantee (far beyond the industry average of 1 year).

While the Tempur Sensation Elite Mattress is reasonably priced, it still costs more than other memory foam mattresses. However, if you don’t mind spending a little more money on a better quality mattress, it could be well worth it in the long run as Tempur are the pioneers of memory foam mattresses and have recognition from NASA while being certified by The Space Foundation. Both impressive traits you will not find elsewhere.

The Sensation Elite sits at the top of the range and a firmer support layer that pairs well with memory foam to give you a plush and comfortable sleeping experience. Its thick, supportive layers help to align your spine, helping to relieve pressure points and keep you comfortable all night long while the extra-deep pocketed base and comes in a wide range of sizes to fit any bed frame.

The Tempur Sensation Elite mattress from Tempur-Pedic is one of the best mattresses that you can buy on any budget and for back sleepers in particular, you can expect to get a great night’s sleep on this mattress, thanks to its combination of excellent support and comfort.

Reasons to Buy

Flagship Tempur product at a reasonable price point that has proven itself among the crowd.

One of the strongest guarantees in the industry.

Consistently gets high reviews.

Reasons to Avoid

Price point may alienate many, as the top range Tempur model this may be most suited to those who truly appreciate a good nights sleep and are willing to pay for it.

Longer lead times than people may perhaps like, however, these are handmade and made to order so it is not unrealistic to expect this sort of timing.

Key Performance Indicators KPI question mark

Our Key Performance Indicators are produced using a combination of specification-heavy algoritmic data points and user reviews. For example, a firm pocket spring support layer is more breathable and offers better back support but may prove unsuitable for side sleepers, the reverse is true for a soft-medium tension reflex foam support layer. This is one of 100+ datapoints considered when generating the below ratings.

Suitability

*Assuming average weight, suitability will vary dependant on body type, use the quiz above for a more tailored guide.
  • Back Sleepers
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • The amount of support offered from a mattress will vary depending on the firmness of the tension and the type of support layer used. Based on a person of average build.
  • Side Sleepers
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • If you sleep on your side you typically need a supportive tension that is not too firm, nor too soft. This is because your hips and shoulders need adequate sinkage.
  • Stomach Sleepers
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Stomach sleepers need a reasonable amount of tension in the base support layer to adequately offer body contouring and help prevent aches and pains. Results will vary based on your build.

Performance

  • Stability
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Depending on the type of support layer in place can have an impact on stability, edge to edge support and roll together prevention. Pocket springs of a firmer tension will have better stability than open coil soft tension, for example.

Odour

  • Initial Odour
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Materials in mattresses, particularly memory foam and rolled bed-in-a-box mattresses can have an initial odour, this is typically short term and reduces considerably within 24 hours.
  • Long Standing Odour
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Certain materials inside different mattresses can produce a small odour. Typically this is short term rather than long standing but there are minor exceptions.

What Makes The Tempur Sensation Elite Mattress Great?

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.

Comfort Grade – Firm

A firm comfort layer is ideal for back and stomach sleepers or those that have a higher BMI than average. Alternatively they can be a great source for those that suffer from neck or back pain. This tension sits higher than a medium designation and lower than a extra-firm designation.

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.

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.

Spring-like feel

Hybrid, or full-foam mattresses have become far more popular over the last few years but with it many have found their preference on the feeling of springs to be a hard one to give-up on. With this mattress you get the spring-like feel, without the springs helping to offer better value while still getting the feeling you need.

Dynamic support technology

Unique to TEMPUR®, Dynamic Support Technology guarantees ease of movement while offering full body support. The issue surrounding movement is one which has frequently pained customers of memory foam mattresses due to how you sink into the mattress. The assurance and feedback from Tempur and it's customers suggest that this is a thing of the past.

Ultimate back care

Mattresses offering better back care will typically have a firmer support than normal. This can offer additional support combined with a variety of comfort options that can suit every persons preference.

Removable cover, washable at up to 60°C

Removable covers help keep things fresh. The average person keeps their mattress for around 7 to 8 years and over time that can make your mattress a fairly unhygienic place to be. Thanks to the removable cover, you can sleep easy knowing that your mattress and your health, are protected.

Low Maintenance Mattress

Low maintenance mattresses are typically one sided meaning that they do not need to be flipped. This is beneficial because, well, mattresses can be heavy and it's a bit of a pain. Another benefit if that single sided mattresses actually tend to be a little bit cheaper, since you're saving money on a layer you won't be sleeping on half the time anyway.

Non-turn, non-flip

A non turn and non flip mattress is considered very easy maintenance with very little else to do in terms of keeping the mattress in best working condition. This means that the mattress is one sided and has the comfort layer at the top of the mattress only. This means no flipping nor turning is necessary to provide long lasting comfort

Space Certified Technology

Tempur are the only company to have their mattresses and pillow recognised by NASA with an additional certification from The Space Foundation

Customer Reviews For The Tempur Sensation Elite Mattress

Based on 68 reviews

I have struggled for years to get a good nights sleep due to having a back and neck degenerative problem along with joint problems and other disabilities. I have spent years buying numerous costly mattresses and pillows but struggled to find comfort. I purchased this Tempur Sensation Elite mattress which is firm but not too firm. It's comfortably firm. I also purchased a medium tempur pillow as it felt more comfortable under my neck then the firmer Tempur pillow. I wish I had purchased both these items years ago. I'm absolutely delighted with my choices and can honestly say I have finally found comfort and peace. I am sleeping so much better and not waking up every hour and continually adjusting myself. I am finding that I now wake up without the severe stiffness and pain which was making it difficult to impossible to get out of bed. I am so happy I finally took the plunge and chose Tempur .

We had a Simba mattress (1400 worth, supposedly) for less than 2 years and to be honest it was knackered! We should of bitten the bullet 2 years ago and just paid the cost for a Tempur. We have only had the mattress a short while however the difference in the 2 mattresses is huge not only in comfort but also in quality. My partner is disabled and has problems getting comfortable however so far she has had some really good nights sleep and feels like she is being "cradled" constantly. Long may it last.

5

Its nothing to do with Bensons as such But I do think Tempur should lower their prices a bit more so that people who are on a slightly lower income can afford a good mattress. A lot of people work super hard to make ends meet and their bodies are overworked and deserve to rest well.

5

This is an excellent product. It is very comfortable and superb quality. I would highly recommend it. Additionally sales and delivery from Bensons were first class and their price the best in the market. I will definitely be buying from them again.

5

Our second set of Tempur mattresses after12 years, and once again they are of superb quality and most comfortable. These mattressees have been a 'life saver' for my wife who suffers with severe back problems.

5

Very comfortable just perfect for my requirements. Lie on this mattress and it just fits around you, no waking up trying to get comfortable , never slept better! Thank you.

5

I do not sleep well however, since getting this mattress things are improving. Yes they are expensive but the quality is second to none and worth the money in my opinion
