Tempur-Pedic Mattress Reviews

Tempur-Pedic is a very well-known and popular mattress brand. According to third-party engineer testing (commissioned by us), the Tempur-Pedic mattresses we’ve reviewed have tested well for edge support but below average for motion isolation. Cooling feature scores were also lower than average.

If you’re looking for a memory foam mattress with higher-than-average motion isolation and temperature regulation, you may prefer Octave. Designed to promote restful sleep, spinal alignment, and overnight recovery, Octave comes with ergonomically zoned support foam and copper-infused memory foam. You also get a 365-night sleep trial, a 15-year warranty, and a free bedding bundle, all starting at just $599.

Tempur-Pedic is a well-known brand that crafts high-quality mattresses. However, they are often more expensive than mattresses from other brands with similar features and construction, such as Octave. The company is also rated “Bad” on Trustpilot, a third-party review platform that allows customers to provide feedback on all aspects of their purchasing experience. (In comparison, Octave is rated “Excellent” on Trustpilot.)

Tempur-Pedic mattresses are available for purchase online and in-store at a wide variety of retailers, including Sleep Country, Costco, and The Brick, as well as smaller, independent mattress stores. Tempur-Pedic even has standalone showrooms in select American cities.

Most Tempur-Pedic mattresses are backed by a 10-year limited warranty. The warranty requires your mattress to be placed on a “firm, solid-surface, non-spring foundation or adjustable base that is structurally capable of supporting the weight of the purchaser’s Tempur-Pedic mattress and user(s),” according to the company’s warranty.

With proper care, your mattress should last the length of its warranty. Tempur-Pedic also recommends protecting your mattress with a mattress protector during usage, as any stains will void the mattress’s warranty.

According to Tempur-Pedic’s website, their mattresses do not need to be rotated due to their design. Rotating a mattress 180 degrees is typically considered good practice to ensure even break-in and wear on a mattress, but you aren’t required to do so with your Tempur-Pedic.

No, you shouldn’t flip your Tempur-Pedic mattress. Like most modern mattresses, Tempur-Pedic mattresses are only designed for one-sided use, with the comfort layer positioned on top. Flipping it would place the supportive base on top instead and the comfort layer (which is designed for you to lie on top of) at the bottom.

Some Tempur-Pedic mattresses are known to contain fiberglass, like the TEMPUR-Cloud mattress we purchased in 2023. According to the mattress’s law label, its internal fire sock was composed of 23% “glass fibre.” This mattress is no longer available in Canada.

We recommend always reading the law label of your Tempur-Pedic mattress and ensuring the cover is safely removable before doing so.
