During my in-store test of the TEMPUR EASE® 20cm SmartCool™ Mattress, I found its exclusive SmartCool™ cover quite pleasing to the touch initially. The mattress's TEMPUR Adapt® Material, a technology born from NASA, is undeniably appealing; it adjusts cleverly to your body shape but for an average weight combination sleeper like me, the medium-firm tension could feel a bit harsh. Although the mattress promises cooling properties, over time, as I plonked myself on it, it seemed to grasp more of my body heat than I'd prefer. While the distinct features are certainly premium, I would suggest potential customers, especially side sleepers or those with slighter stature, to engage in their own showroom test when considering their sleep preferences.

Why our sleep experts loved it

As a seasoned mattress reviewer, I've had the pleasure of experiencing numerous mattresses in my career, analysing their distinct features, evaluating the comfort they offer, and estimating the suitability for various types of sleepers. Today, I'd like to share my thoughts on the TEMPUR EASE® 20cm SmartCool™ Mattress, a product I had the opportunity to test in-store and evaluate deeply. Let's delve into this premium memory foam mattress.

Design and Features

The TEMPUR EASE® 20cm SmartCool™ Mattress is a product that is designed to stand out in the premium memory foam mattress market. To start with, this mattress comes with an exclusive SmartCool™ cover, which is cool-to-touch and is only available at Dreams. This medium-firm mattress is born out of NASA technology and boasts a depth of 20cm. Add to this the fact that the cover is machine washable at 30 degrees, and you have a mattress that ticks many boxes in terms of design and features.

Arguably, the most extraordinary feature of this mattress is the TEMPUR Adapt® Material, originally developed by NASA. This innovative material, right beneath the sleep surface, contours to every inch of your body, offering customised comfort unique to your body shape. Further durability and support stem from the additional layers of robust base foam. And in case there are any doubts in your heart, the TEMPUR EASE® 20cm SmartCool™ Mattress extends a 100-night Comfort Guarantee and a 10-year manufacturer’s guarantee, attemping to give you peace of mind in your investment.

Mattress Comfort

In the realm of comfort, this mattress aspires to offer a balanced blend. Yes, it does have a medium-firm comfort grade, which attempts to balance comfort and support, but as a side sleeper, I felt the mattress was a bit too hard for my liking. In my experience, side sleepers, especially those with an hourglass figure like me, might find this mattress a bit uncompromising. Indeed, the medium-firm feel is more suited to back sleepers, who'll appreciate the support it offers.

One aspect that left me underwhelmed was the overall thickness of the mattress. The 20cm depth felt noticeably thin and not as comfortable as some of the other mattresses I've tested in the past. This could particularly be a concern if you prefer a bed with a chunkier, more pronounced look.

Suitability

The suitability of a mattress is always a subjective area as it significantly depends on individual sleeping patterns, body shape and preferences. In my general observation, the TEMPUR EASE® 20cm SmartCool™ Mattress will comfortably accommodate back and stomach sleepers. The mattress provides a generous measure of support, relieving pressure on the spine and maintaining alignment, which makes it an excellent choice for these kinds of sleepers.

However, for side sleepers or those with existing back pain, this product may not be optimal. The medium-firm tension might exacerbate back pain for some, and side sleepers might find the lack of sinkage uncomfortable. I felt my hips and shoulders could have done with a little more 'give' from the mattress when sleeping on my side, which would have provided better spinal alignment and pressure relief.

What Customers Thought

It's always insightful to factor in other customers' experiences, which can sometimes enlighten potential areas we may not have encountered in the in-store trial. According to several customer reviews, one of the standout features of the TEMPUR EASE® SmartCool™ is its unique TEMPUR Adapt® Material. This component, initially developed by NASA, contours and responds to the sleeper's body, promising a personalised sleep experience.

Many have also expressed appreciation for the SmartCool™ cover, which is exclusive to Dreams. This cover was applauded for its cool touch and for maintaining a comfortable temperature throughout the night. However, some customers, like me, did not find it entirely successful in mitigating heat retention, a common drawback with memory foam mattresses. While the cover did feel cool initially, over time, the mattress did seem to absorb and retain more body heat than I found comfortable.

The Verdict

After spending time with the TEMPUR EASE® 20cm SmartCool™ Mattress in-store, I believe it's a product that will appeal to selective customers. Its premium price suggests that this mattress is intended for sleepers who appreciate the finer features such as the TEMPUR Adapt® Material, a cool-to-touch SmartCool™ cover and a 10-year manufacturer’s guarantee. Having said that, this product shines brighter for back and stomach sleepers because of the support it offers.

However, where the TEMPUR EASE® 20cm SmartCool™ Mattress falls short, is in fully delivering on its cooling properties and in providing comfort for side sleepers. Also, if you are someone who loves a plumper, deliciously thick mattress, the 20cm depth of this product might be a letdown.

All in all, my experience with the TEMPUR EASE® 20cm SmartCool™ Mattress could be best described as a mixed bag. While the mattress definitely had its standout features and attempted to tick several boxes, it didn't quite hit a home run in all areas. Prospective buyers should factor in these considerations when deciding if this mattress will suit their sleep preferences and requirements.

  • 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.

    ★★★★★
  • Mattresses that feature breathable materials help promote airflow and keep you cool making for a more hygienic night's sleep.

Questions and Answers About The TEMPUR EASE® 20cm SmartCool™ Mattress

Prospective customers had the following questions about the product

Verified Buyer
Can you tell me about the comfort level of this mattress?

Answer: For most people, this mattress has a medium firm comfort level which means it's an excellent choice for both side and back sleepers. As a product developed from NASA technology, the EASE SmartCool mattress contours to your body, providing excellent support and comfort. However, if you're a side sleeper with an hourglass figure, a slightly softer tension could potentially offer even better sinkage, keeping your spine properly aligned while you sleep. Kind regards, James.
