Why choose a TEMPUR® mattress?
TEMPUR® is known for a distinctive pressure-relieving material that responds to body weight, shape and temperature. Its origins can be traced to technology developed to cushion astronauts during space travel, before the material was adapted for use in sleep products.
Unlike a standard open coil mattress, TEMPUR® material moulds closely around the body and absorbs movement rather than relying on springs for support. That combination can make it particularly appealing if you value close contouring, pressure relief and less disturbance when sharing a bed.
A TEMPUR® mattress can offer:
Pressure-relieving material that adapts to your weight, shape and warmth
Strong motion absorption to help reduce partner disturbance
A choice of mattress depths and firmness levels across the wider TEMPUR® range
Cooling technologies such as SmartCool™ on selected TEMPUR® collections
Single-sided designs that do not need to be flipped
Removable or washable covers on selected models
How to choose the right TEMPUR® mattress for your sleep
Firmness anfd comfort
TEMPUR® mattresses mould closely to your body, which can make them feel different from other mattresses. If you’re new to TEMPUR®, consider which firmness level will feel most comfortable for you.
TEMPUR® mattresses are grouped into soft, medium, medium firm and firm feels across its wider UK range. The current TEMPUR EASE® models at MattressNextDay are medium-firm, so check the individual product specifications if you want a particular feel.
Use the table below as a quick guide to how different firmness levels can feel and which sleeping preferences they may suit.
Firmness | Best suited to | Typical feel |
Soft | Lighter and side sleepers | Plush with deeper body-conforming cushioning |
Medium | Side and combination sleepers | Balanced contouring and support |
Medium firm | Back and combination sleepers | Supportive with controlled cushioning |
Firm | Front and back sleepers | Firmer resistance with close conforming support |

Buying guidance for TEMPUR® mattresses
What makes TEMPUR® material different from standard memory foam?
TEMPUR® material is a type of memory foam, but it has its own unique feel. It responds to your weight, shape and warmth, gently moulding around your body to provide pressure-relieving comfort.
While standard memory foam also cushions the body, TEMPUR® uses its own specially developed material, with origins in NASA technology. Different TEMPUR® mattresses use layers of this material to create different comfort and firmness levels.
TEMPUR® material also absorbs movement well, making it a good option for couples. If your partner turns over or gets out of bed during the night, you’re less likely to feel the movement on your side.
Advanced cooling technology: staying cool on a TEMPUR® mattress
A common concern with close-conforming foam is heat retention. TEMPUR® addresses this differently across its ranges, so the cooling features on the individual mattress matter as much as the brand name.
TEMPUR PRO® SmartCool™ mattresses use SmartCool™ Technology woven into a zip-off QuickRefresh™ cover. The cover is designed to feel cool to the touch and absorb excess body heat, while being removable and washable. The current TEMPUR EASE® models at MattressNextDay use breathable covers, but they are not the same as the PRO® SmartCool™ range.
If you regularly sleep warm, compare the complete specification rather than assuming every TEMPUR® mattress offers identical temperature regulation. Bedding, room temperature and your bed base can also affect how warm your sleep setup feels.

What makes a TEMPUR® mattress different?
TEMPUR® uses a unique pressure-relieving material developed from NASA technology originally created to cushion astronauts during space travel. It moulds closely to your body and absorbs movement, helping you sleep comfortably with less disturbance from a partner.
Is TEMPUR® the same as memory foam?
TEMPUR® is a type of memory foam, but not all memory foam is TEMPUR®. The brand has developed its own material and uses it across its mattresses to create the distinctive body-hugging feel TEMPUR® is known for.
Which TEMPUR® mattress is best for me?
Start with the firmness and depth you prefer. MattressNextDay currently lists TEMPUR EASE® mattresses in a medium-firm feel and in 20cm, 22cm and 25cm depths. If you’re comparing the wider TEMPUR® range, you may also see soft, medium and firm options, plus PRO® SmartCool™, Hybrid and older Cloud™ models.
Are TEMPUR® mattresses good for hot sleepers?
They can be, but cooling features vary by range. TEMPUR PRO® SmartCool™ mattresses feature a cool-to-the-touch, washable SmartCool™ cover that absorbs excess heat. Other TEMPUR® models use different breathable covers and materials, so check the individual specification if temperature is one of your main concerns.
Are TEMPUR® mattresses hypoallergenic?
Yes. All TEMPUR® mattresses feature hypoallergenic covers that resist dust mites and allergens, making them a great choice for allergy sufferers. The breathable materials also help regulate temperature for a fresher, cleaner sleep environment.
