Pros & Cons

Here we collect tests, guides and product reviews so that you can create a picture of what others think about the product. This analysis and review is based on my experience and a decade of industry insight.

Specialist mattress that comes at the top end of the firmness scale. The tension won't give over time and will give you an ultra firm feel to keep your back rigid while you sleep.

The heat of memory foam is mitigated by the CoolTouch technology giving you a great all-season mattress without the excess sweat buildup.

A premium price point but with a reassuring 10 year guarantee giving full typical lifespan coverage.

Likely unsuitable for the majority of people, this mattress has strong orthopedic enhancements that won't suit many. Avoid for most side sleepers also.

Some complaints that the CoolTouch does not go far enough with reports that some sensitive to heat still get too warm.

Why our sleep experts loved it

When a mattress has the words very firm in the title of the product, you get a feeling for the direction that the product is perhaps going in relative to it's tension and firmness.

The TEMPUR Very Firm CoolTouch Elite Mattress is the latest in a line of new products from Tempur and is, in this case, very firm. Suitable for those that sleep on their back, hack neck or back pain or of higher BMI, this mattress will appeal to many.

To start, the brand. Tempur have been renowned in the mattress industry for decades now, superseding many rivals in both quality and price, proving they are one of the big boys in the industry. 

This mattress has particular staying power due to it's cool-touch technology. This mattress comes with the CoolTouch™ cover which provides a cool touch sensation in all seasons meaning you can remain cool while you sleep.

Finally,  you have a 10 year guarantee which is incredible for an industry plagued by 1 year guarantee as standard. Bare in mind that the average mattress lifespan is pegged at around 7 years so what Tempur are saying is that this mattress will last longer than the average while also providing a guarantee to back up those claims. This shows how much trust that Tempur and the retailer both have in the product and why you should buy with confidence.

The TEMPUR Very Firm CoolTouch Elite Mattress is well reviewed and has amassed an impressive 200 reviews which for a new mattress shows people are eager to invest in the product. Feedback is strong, with 93% who own it recommending this mattress. Positive feedback is predictably around the impressive back support, being a very firm mattress it will appeal to many with neck and back issues and it looks to be working. Others were also impressed with the quality to price ratio and that while the price may be premium, so too are the materials and components. 

Negative feedback is rare but we have found a few examples. These seem to be limited to people that found the mattress to be too firm. We don't really see the issue in this instance as it's categorised already as very firm. Ultimately this sort of mattress will only appeal to those who need specific orthopaedic support for greater back and neck support.

Why you can trust WantMattress We spend hours testing (and/or researching) every product or service we review, so you can be sure you’re buying the best. Find out more about how we test.

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.

What a lovely mattress and like nothing we've had before. Last time we changed our mattress we went for one with a memory foam topper built in which proved to be a big mistake. The topper would move and we'd wake up in the night to find our pillows had disappeared down the back, so we knew we didn't want one of those again. Anyway. We chose to go to dreams to use their sleep sensor bed to see if it would help us get a good nights sleep and it recommended a firm mattress. We tried a few different ones and the TEMPUR Very Firm CoolTouch Elite Mattress was by far the most unusual as we slowly sank into it rather than laid on it. It was certainly the most comfortable but that was for the few minutes we were on it in the shop. As Dreams do a 100 day trial we thought we'd give it a try. The price was nearly double what we thought we would be paying but then thought it would be a good investment if started getting a good nights sleep again. First night was very strange. Getting into bed that felt like laying down on a bed of wet sand or thick custard. Then the fun trying to move once the bed had cast it's mold around you and started to grip you. First nights sleep was therefore broken a bit due to not being use to that and our backs ached as we tried to roll out of our soft coffins. Both of us thought we had made a mistake and maybe we have gone for a traditional mattress. But we'll give it a couple more nights. Well..... what a difference. As we slowly got use to it molding to our bodies we noticed it changed quicker with us, so moving and getting out became easier. We also noticed that we could actually feel it supporting us where we needed it and we are definitely sleeping better and waking up with less back pain. Now although it's called extra firm it's certainly not hard and cool touch certainly doesn't mean cold to get into. This doesn't mean the bed is perfect. I now have to suffer my wife saying on Sunday morning that the bed is holding her captive so I'll have to go and bring her coffee..... The TEMPUR Very Firm CoolTouch Elite Mattress is worth every penny of our "investment" in the price and investing the time in getting use to it. If it lasts us just 10yrs as per the guarantee it'll be worth the 2 a month for a good nights sleep.

After a lot of deliberation and sleepless nights, my wife and I decided to take the plunge on Tempur. We were initially put off by the high price, but I would say it is certainly worth the investment for a good night's sleep. I could not speak higher of this mattress. . We tried a number of mattresses within the Tempur range and found this to be instantly the best for both comfort and support. (That's not to say the others were no good). Now for the lowdown on the product: The mattress is certainly good at keeping us cool. (Incidently the cooling cover is unique to Dreams, so another reason to purchase from Dreams). Writing this review in the 30 degrees heat, we both have had no problems in sleeping in the recent hot weather. The mattress at first felt at first rather soft (which is not to either of our liking) but the support is second to none. The Dreams bed test actually confirmed that we both preferred medium rather than firm. Whicih was certainly an eye opener and made our decision on such a premium product. Definitely recommend Tempur, certainly this model for ourselves and most definitely from Dreams. Excellent choice, by far one of the best purchases I have made! Mr & Mrs V, Solihull

They say you can't put a price on a good night's sleep, and its so right. I was in two minds whether to spend 2000 on a matress given I only went in for "a look", but I did the comfort test things in store and decided to trust the science of what was being recommended. After trying the other 3 cheaper mattresses, i went for a lie on the Tempur one and instantly knew i needed it. As a shift worker, my sleep schedule is all over the place, and i often struggled to fall asleep and would lie there for hours cursing myself that i wasn't one of those people who can fall asleep anywhere. I'd wake up the next morning feeling grumpy, my back needing to be cracked and achy hips. But not any more!!! I have had the best sleep since my Tempur arrived, i wake up in a morning (or afternoon if i'm on nights) feeling rested, feeling refreshed and without a single ache! I've not had to crack my back since sleeping on this which is remarkable considering I've suffered with back problems for years. I cannot recommend investing in one of these enough. And if you get it on zero percent finance, its only costing you the equivalent of a night out once a month.

I am a heavy big side sleeper and this mattress gives my body an excellent support and comfort during my sleep, it really feels like sinking in the clouds, it will move under your body until it gets a perfect relaxing shape and taking all the pressure away from your body's pressure points.My lower back, hips and shoulders pain is gone since I am sleeping on it and for it's comfort and support it really deserves 5 starts, but unfortunately like every memory foam mattress temperature is it's biggest issue, although it is a cool touch it still gets extremely hot around midnight, I tried to sleep with keeping windows open and to use a tinner cover but no improvement what so ever, I get up every morning with wet and sweaty clothes and body. So if you get hot fast, if you are on the heavier side , if you are getting hot flashes this won't be a good choice of mattress and I don't recommend it at all, otherwise it is the best sleep experience of your life.

I bought from Bournemouth Store , James the manager his staff Sarah, Laura and Kieran were all excellent and very helpful and it was a pleasure visiting the store. I used the sleep match which among other makes recommended The Tempur Firm Elite, but to be honest the Jury is still out with regards to The Tempur Firm CoolTouch Elite Mattress. I am finding it too hard and getting slight back pain. I think I will ask for it to be exchanged for the Hybrid Elite, thanks to the 30 day sleep comfort Guarantee, I believe that a New Hybrid is coming but can find no details about it yet, perhaps the new Hybrid will only be available at Dreams like the Tempur firm elite as Tempur-Sealy now own them. This mattress is of good quality although expensive, It is annoying not having any straps on the side to assist in rotating it as advised, as the mattress is very heavy being the 6ft Superking.

My previous Dreams mattress had started to give in after 8 years - there is definitely truth in what they say about 8 years for their mattresses. I ordered a new one but there was a delay as difficulty in getting springs - my brother recommended the TEMPUR as they have one - so I changed the order and got this. A very good move and decision - what a difference in my sleep pattern - I use a Sleep App to track my sleep and it's ticking all the boxes and showing I am having the best night's sleep in years. The mattress almost hugs you and it feels like you are sleeping on a firm cloud. Not more aches and pains (used to suffer from stiff back and joints) and I wake up feeling much more energised. I've even ditched my electric blanket as they say sleeping in a cooler bed is much healthier for you. Recommend you also get the pillows as it all adds to the TEMPUR experience.

I bought one of these mattress to see if I would have pain areas on my body. Where ever my body touched became tender due to the fact I suffered from Fibromyalgia. This mattress moulds to your own body and not where your body just touches as with other mattresses. It's nice to have a comfortable sleep and wake up without tender areas on your body. I still only get 4 hours sleep and that's down to the pattern of sleep I have been getting for years. My hours of sleep seem to be getting longer and more of a deep sleep because of this mattress. The other mattress I had used to make you too hot and this one keeps you cool Thanks best nights sleep for years . Also the way it's going I might be able to come off the sleeping pills due to the comfort of this mattress. Michael Handley.

I have or rather had a back. I would sleep on the floor but the dog has this area covered. The Tempur is expensive. I worked it out that if it last 15 years then I would save money by not replacing it in 8 years as normal. Then I thought of a price of it per night. Which 350 sleeps a year for 15 years isn't all that much. Now I factor in the time and expenses of Chiropractor. I'm now in profit. Does it work. For me, I've never slept better. I need a bed that when I get in, I don't feel lile I'm in a cloud. I want firm bed with comfort. Soft on my rear to sit up and read but a solid core to get proper rest. Straight away it felt like I was supported. It is hard to stay awake in it. I am tight when it comes to spending money on myself but actually this is an investment.

We bought this product a little over a month ago. As it was time for a new mattress as our old one was causing my partner stiffness and back pain every day when he woke up. Our new Tempur mattress is fantastic. No more back pain for him he sleeps better and for longer and actually feels refreshed. We dont feel each other movements during the night. its cooler than i expected and provides a relaxing nights sleep.It supports every inch of you, as I have ongoing lower back problems i have found this to be the most supportive comfortable mattress Ive ever owned. It even comes in its own washable zip cover so you can wash it and keep your mattress good as new. We are very happy with it. We would gladly recommend it. Try a Tempur mattress they are as good as they say.

Your should heed my warning before purchasing this mattress. Are you prepared to struggle executing your normal activities of daily living from now on? If not, look away and do not read further. I am now beholden to my slumberland enchantress. Her marshmallow, cloud envelops me like a freshly baked cinnamon roll. All this softness, there must be something amiss I hear you say. Alas - my weary bones are not cast aside. They too are catered to by the slumber siren; she finds a way to support me where needed whilst simultaneously encouraging me sink further into dreamland. Its too late for me, Im in too deep. But you, theres still time for you. So heed my warning and save yourselves! For once you lay on this mattress, nothing will ever be the same again.

To begin with the smell of the mattress isnt pleasant, its 3 weeks on now and my whole room smells of damp, the 149 pillows smell exactly the same so not pleasant to sleep on and i aired them fot two days before using any of it when i was only told to do so for a few hours before using it so if you want a relaxing nights sleep dont buy this mattress! I have osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia which is why i purchased this mattress in the first place and all ive ended up with is more discomfort. I shall be returning for 2299 and 66 a month its not worth it. Cliff was a very helpful and caring man and helped me massively on the day at the maidstone london road branch thank you for your time and doing your job well.

Been sleeping in our Tempur Sensation Eite mattress for a couple of weeks now, and its just brilliant! Its the firmest of the range and so took a few nights to get used to from having a softer mattress before, and has started to feel a little softer providing even more comfort. The Tempur pillows we bought at the same time are fantastic too! Its really helped with neck and back problems caused by a poor quality Mammoth mattress we bought only two years ago. Really hoping this one lasts a lot longer, but from all the people I know whove had Tempur mattresses for a number of years now all say how great they are and that theyre built to last, so I have every confidence that it will!

We bought a firm cool touch tempura king mattress.. at first it felt as hard as wood and slowly you sink in and the mattress finds the contours of your body over the first week we have got used to it and have definitely noticed the difference. We both suffer from bad backs and in the morning it usually is a struggle to straighten and they ache.. but now we dont have this.. it takes a while to get used to not having any bounce to help you turn over and when you get in you need to do it fast and not sit in the edge as otherwise you get a different sag shape that then have to find your lying down position and give the support required. Overall enjoying it so far.

This mattress is extra firm but thats what we wanted! Its extremely comfy for us, no back or hip pain on a morning, best thing we have bought. Converted from an old memory foam mattress we had for years, I find the new Renoir mattresses are a lot cooler and as for the smell some people complain about when the mattresses are first opened just leave the window open for a couple of hours after opening and it is fine, but the smell isnt that strong, certainly isnt as bad an a new memory foam I would recommend going and trying the different types of Tempur matress out in store to see which one suits you best as theses mattresses arent a one size fits all.

Since changing our bed to Tempur cool touch Elite Mattress has made a massive sleep change in our life ! I don't move around so much to get comfortable with problems with my hip. With regards to my husband he has a prolapsed disc and sciatica on his left side, which in the past he constantly moves about to get comfortable and was not getting much sleep. Since getting used to our Tempur new bed, which was expensive has, made a big difference to both of us! Initially when you first lie down the bed seems hard but then you feel your body sinking into a comfortable position. Just like the pillows ! My husband is now sleeping longer without moving in pain.

My wife and I visited Dreams to get a new bed as our current mattress was causing back pain. After using the automated service we were recommended a tempur mattress. After having used it for some weeks now, the mattress is very comfortable as it molds to your sleeping position and the cooltouch technology stops you getting too hot. The memory foam pillows are great too. It's a weird feeling sinking into the mattress but you get used to it! The only tiny downside is that we haven't been able to find a fitted sheet that fits perfectly due to the depth and changing shape of the mattress but that is very minor. Overall very happy.

Put a lot of thought into purchasing a new mattress and after some legwork, researching online, checking reviews and visiting a number of outlets - found Dreams to be on top of their game!?! Very friendly service and professional advice provided by sales assistant. Tried a number of mattresses instore and after using their inhouse Sleepmatch technology, found the Tempur Sensation Elite to be the perfect match for both my wife and I. Have slept like a baby for the last 3 weeks and have definitely noticed the difference including no more aches / pains in the morning!?!-) Thank you for the excellent service and prompt delivery!-)

We have just replaced our Tempur Original Deluxe with the Very Firm Cool Touch Elite Tempur mattress and boy what an upgrade. This feels so supportive, it isnt too firm so I would class this as a firm mattress. Its so much more supportive than the old one and yet has the gentle touch of a Tempur mattress. We tried 3 different Tempurs in the shop this being the firmest and am so glad we purchased this one. Great nights sleep, I cannot feel husband move during the night at all which is one of the things I love about this mattress. My shoulders and back feel so much better.

It was only after buying this mattress that I realised how incredibly poor my previous mattresses were. The first time I slept on this mattress, I did encounter some slight back pain for 2 days, but I assume this was because my back hadn't actually been able to relax in 10 years and made the most of the comfort. Every night since then has been so beneficial for my back, and I am sleeping well, very well in fact! It is well worth the price and should be seen as an investment in your wellbeing. It might even save you the odd trip to the chiropractor!

Had this for about a month now and loving it. Im a little overweight and had been getting hip and knee problems which have now gone, the bed is the only change Ive made. You slowly sink into this bed so when you want to change position you may find yourself slipping back into the previous imprint you made. It does slowly return to shape so bear with it as you will work out how to manage this. We had an Emma mattress before this which was ok but lost any resistance it had and became very soft, this tempur mattress is miles better.

I have suffered for years with back pain waking me up a few times each night. I thought long and hard about paying for a decent mattress and I am glad I bought this. I feel more rested in the morning and my back is not as painful. I can't describe how comfy this mattress makes you. I had tried other memory foam mattresses but couldn't get used to them. With this one you just seem to merge with the mattress. I have only had this a few weeks and have no complaints I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a decent sleep.

The mattress took me a couple of weeks to find it comfortable. Now it is very comfortable and provides excellent support. The biggest problem for two weeks was, what I know understand to be, "Off-Gassing". The chemical smell given off by the manufacturing process lasted two weeks and made my eyes smart for at least one week. I was not told, nor would it have been practical, to store the mattress in a garage for several days before use as I had booked the collection of the old mattress to be collected at time of delivery of new.

Had my tempur elite matress a couple weeks now and my god what a difference it has made to my sleep. After trying different matress in store i opted for the very firm cooltouch elite and i dont know why i didnt do it sooner! Not only did it come with 2 free pillows worth 150 each but i now get a full nights sleep and wake up with no back pain anymore. Being tall (6ft8) i have suffered with neck/back pain for too long and although its quite expensive if you are suffing like me it is definately worth the the investment!

We had to change our old mattress which was it was bought at another well known company, it was completely the wrong mattress for us, even though said other company said it was right for us, obviously looking for a quick sale! We opted this time to use Dreams Sleepmatch service to get matched up to the correct mattress, the service we received was absolutely fantastic, the salesman - Gareth, was really lovely at the Cribbs Causeway Branch - our new mattress is wonderful to sleep on, and would recommend it to anyone!

My wife proposed we replace our spring mattress with a memory foam mattress. At first, I was reluctant as I thought: "a mattress is a mattress, who cares". After we went to Dreams to compare mattresses, I was immediately sold! I can't describe how much better the memory foam mattress is! I can twist and turn and my wife won't wake up. And I really feel like I'm being supported better. Even though the mattress is a bit on the expensive side, I think it's totally worth it as I'm getting a much better quality of sleep.

I bought this mattress for our new home. Having had my previous mattress for many years, I was hesitant to splurge on a more expensive mattress as I thought that they are probably all just as comfortable as another, but that has not been the case. This mattress is exceptionally comfortable and both myself & my partner have agreed that this, alongside the Tempur pillows, has provided us both with the comfiest nights sleep! Will definitely be recommending this to all friends & family looking for a better nights sleep!

The mattress-oh what I have to say!Fantastic isnt enough to explain it-we had issues with couple mattresses befor it!I have sciatica and this mattress really helps me about it-less pain at all and sometimes after the busy day I lie down on it with painful back-couple minute later the pain is gone!I dont know exactly the magic of the mattress-maybe because its memory foam turns into you body shape I cant really explain myself!but the thing is the pain is gone-yes is expensive but worth it every penny!

Takes a while to get used to it as very, very firm, but as I sleep on my front I wanted a firm mattress. Havent had any back ache since Ive had it and absolutely love it now I have got used to it. I havent found the cool touch that cool but pleased I purchased this mattress. The staff were very good on delivery too.the only downside was it went on sale with two free pillows after I had just had it delivered and also when you spend 2200 on a mattress,they should waiver 50 to take old one away

Every penny spent on buying this mattress was carefully considered. Whilst waiting for the delivery our nerve waivered a bit about the outlay. We're one month in now and the impact has been significant. I'm sleeping through the night, without waking or struggling with nasal congestion. We can't feel each other fidgeting and rolling over. It has been worth every penny ten times over. I just wish we bought it 5 years earlier with the energy levels I've got back! Superb product. Thank you

We purchased this to replace our previous memory foam mattress. This is our first time going for a Tempur mattress, as the cost has always put us off. Dreams offered a helpful finance package, so we went for it. Great service in store, good delivery service with good communication and helpful drivers carrying the mattress into my bedroom. One thing to be aware is the depth of this is big, so your standard sheets might not fit it- prepare to buy new deep fitting sheets!

After sleeping on it for a month almost there is no signs of dip or deform which I thought may happen due to using an adjustable bed. Takes a while to get used too but when you settle you feel very snug, Im usually turning over constantly in bed but not since getting the Tempur very firm cool touch I normally wake in the same position I fell asleep in. I have good quality sleep now and awake refreshed very happy nearly didnt buy because of price but so glad I did.

I have had my Tempur very firm cool elite mattress since the 30/07/2022 and it is an absolutely comfortable sleep. Well supported in all the right areas especially my lower back which I was having some problems with. Don't be put off by the very firm part as it is more supportive than firm, I did try other Tempur mattresses in the Dreams shop, but chose this one. The shop and the assistant were a dream to deal with and the delivery was within 4 days, perfect.

We bought this mattress a few weeks ago. Initially, (first few nights) it was hard to get used to, and was contemplating killing the sales person for his excellent sales patter. Eventually, it became a pleasure, looking forward to going to bed. The best way to describe the mattress, is it's like sleeping in partial quick sand, but eventually supports every body part that touches the mattress. Highly recommended if you can adjust from a normal mattress.

I have only had this a few weeks and have not felt so energised throughout the day. No mid afternoon slumps, no feeling like I could go to bed in the middle of the day. My back and hip do not give me any pain when getting up in the morning. My other half was doubtful it would be this comfortable and now is in full agreement that this give us both a great nights sleep. Not sound cliche but this is so comfortable and supportive I am glad I made this decision.

It's a little early to say if this mattress has fulfilled my needs (hence 4 stars) however we have slept well and although quite different from a normal sprung mattress it takes a bit of getting used too. My partner has no problems and has not had a disturbed night since sleeping on this mattress, I on the other hand wake up several times in the night but that's probably me and no fault of the mattress. I would recommend you give this mattress a try.

I bought the Double Tempur sensation Elite Mattress one month ago at New Malden Dreams store. I had little back pain every morning when I woke up from my old spring mattress. However, with Tempure Mattress I dont have that issue anymore. This mattress doesnt sink in like other memory form mattresses so I didnt had any weirdness of sleeping in new mattress. Also, I purchased the mattress cover with it so this mattress got ten years guarantee.

The TEMPUR CoolTouch Elite mattress we purchased has taken a bit of getting used to due it being so firm. We have had the mattress a couple of weeks and it now my back has got used to the new support - which is incredible. The mattress remains cool which is great and with the tempur pillows as well, we are both getting a restful sleep for the first time in years. We both have bad backs, one of which has scoliosis. This mattress has really helped.

Pre-sale service excellent. Post sale extremely disappointing. Mattress ok for me but not hubby. 5 sleep deprived nights before we gave up. However we cannot return or swap mattress for 30 days after delivery. Felt like we were dismissed by the very person who sold us the thing. We have no option but to use Dreams for an alternative as there is nothing wrong with mattress but i will not be advising any of my friends to shop there in the future.

This is our first memory foam style mattress and although it takes a little getting used to we are loving it and sleeping much better than before. We had concerns regarding overheating from the mattress but definitely not felt any signs of that. The Tempur mattress supports you very well and we think that helps with longer deep sleep periods and better breathing (hence less snoring). Five stars for this mattress, highly recommended.

I've struggled to sleep for almost 3 years now but due to not living in a fixed location I never considered buying a new mattress. Now that I'm based in one place again I took the plunge and thanks to the sleep matching system in Dreams I was matched with this mattress. The comfort level is incredible and all the pain I used to have in my back and neck from sleeping is gone. Highly recommend this mattress if it suits your needs!

This mattress is an investment that pays off every night. Prior to having this my partmer and I struggled to sleep and had back ache that we put down to getting older. Now we sleep well and have notcied our backs now feel looser and are pain free. It took a night or two to adjust to how firm it was but I think it was just firm from being in a cold warehouse/ van. Its a high price but worth every penny.

Me and my other half have been using the bed for 2 weeks now. I used to wake up with lower back pain, underfoot pain and just generally unrested. My other half was much the same, unrested, general aches and pains. This mattress is unbelievable, my back doesn't hurt, my underfoot doesn't hurt, were both rested and neither wake each other during the night. We cannot recommend this bed enough.

This Tempur mattress is like no other mattress. We've had, memory foam, coil spring and gel top mattresses, but this one is far superior and amazingly comfortable. Particularly the sensation elite, as it both moulds itself to your body whilst providing positive support, no sinking feeling, just full support. Say goodbye to those aches and pains. A unique mattress providing a restful night's sleep.

As soon as we went to bed on our new mattress, we knew we had made the right decision. Immediate comfort, on a mattress that doesnt overheat. Didnt feel my husband moving in bed. Most importantly tho, we both slept so well and had no aches and pains in the morning. This is a winner for me as I have chronic back pain and nerve damage.

A beautiful mattress and naturally the firmness rating is divisive. I have substantial issues with the lumbar portion of my back and I am waking up with less pain; however it is very firm. I'm currently 2 weeks into my 40 day trial period and the cells are beginning to open up; may have to swap for a sensation or a hybrid The jury is out , but it does exactly what it says on the tin though!

I brought this mattress just over a month ago due to my old spring mattress becoming out dated. I chose this mattress for many reason, the cool touch which is amazing and makes such a difference. The memory foam, which you slowly sink in the as you lay on the bed, although this mattress is soft it is also super supportive. Over it this is a great product and would definitely recommend!

I sleep so well, the mattress just moulds & hugs you, in a way that makes me not fidget in my sleep. I sleep well, really well. Added bonus the tempur pillows, the whole product is worth the money.

I wanted the firmest as possible Mattrese. The very firm by Tempur is solid firm on the touch but yet your body sinks into a perfect mould within seconds. The trick is not to sink in too much as this would result to back pain. This mattress does it just right. My back pain has stopped since sleeping on the Tempur very firm. Overall, good investment.

We've always used spring mattresses but have suffered from frequent back pains after sleeping so decided to make the change to a Tempur, and it's been the best decision! Not only is the mattress amazingly comfortable and motion transfer is minimal, our back pain has gone. Would highly recommend a Tempur is you're having trouble with a spring mattress.

This mattress provides great support for hip and back pain by ensuring proper spinal alignment. It does not feel hot like other memory foam mattresses i have used so the cool-touch feature seems to work well. The extra firmness took a little bit of getting used to but the mattress still has comfort and give and supports in the right places.

This was a replacement mattress for another Tempur mattress bought 18 years ago. It had to be Tempur again as its so comfortable and supportive. The new mattress seemed rather firmer than the old initially but it only took a week or so to get used to it. Its a very, very comfortable mattress and is excellent for supporting ageing joints.

Initially the mattress felt firmer than we'd remembered, but it supports in all the right places and is a big improvement on the old mattress. My only criticism is that the care leaflet that came with the mattress said that it should be "turned horizontally, from time to time", without suggesting how often.
