Why our sleep experts loved it
Investing in a good night's sleep is more than just a luxury, it's a matter of health and well-being. One of the ways to ensure quality rest is by choosing a mattress suited to your unique needs, and the TEMPUR Pro® SmartCool™ Mattress is touted to be one of the best choices on the market. This mattress is a high-end option, designed to fuse cutting-edge technology with utmost comfort. However, no mattress can be all things to all people, so it's worth a deep review to understand who this mattress is best suited for, and how it performs in various aspects.
How We Test
The testing of the TEMPUR Pro® SmartCool™ Mattress was conducted thoroughly at a showroom, giving ample time to explore its features, feel its comfort, and evaluate its design. Although an at-home test was not feasible for this review, every effort was made to simulate all sleeping positions and evaluate the mattress considering the specifications and technologies it boasts of.
Design and Features
TEMPUR Pro® SmartCool™ is a chronicle of innovation. This mattress is equipped with a range of TEMPUR's proprietary technologies designed to deliver superior comfort and support. It is 21cm in height and is categorised with comfort ratings ranging from Soft to Firm, allowing you to choose according to your preference. Furthermore, it offers a ten-year free guarantee, giving you assurance for your investment.
This mattress also incorporates TEMPUR® Advanced Material aimed at providing optimum pressure relief across your entire body. It is also embedded with Dynamic Support Technology, aiming to increase support and ease of movement during sleep. One of the most notable features is its SmartCool™ Cover meant to absorb excess body heat and keep you cool throughout the night. However, our review and personal experiences question the actual performance of this cooling technology.
Mattress Comfort
The comfort level provided by a mattress is subjective and varies according to individual preferences and sleep positions. By specification, the TEMPUR Pro® SmartCool™ offers both firm support and conforming comfort, aiming at a restful sleep experience. However, despite the innovative cooling technology, feedback suggests that some sleepers may find the mattress too warm for comfort. Especially for individuals who naturally sleep hot, this is certainly a point to consider.
Suitability
The medium firmness of this mattress makes it suitable for a variety of sleep positions. It appears to be particularly well-suited for side sleepers, providing good pressure relief for sensitive areas such as shoulders and hips. Back sleepers may also find this mattress comfortable although they might want to consider a firmer option for enhanced contouring and support.
What Customers Thought
Feedback from customers predominantly points towards the mattress running warmer than anticipated. Despite the SmartCool Technology claimed to absorb excess body heat, it appears to fall short when it comes to actual performance. This validates our personal findings regarding the issue of heat retention.
The Verdict
The TEMPUR Pro® SmartCool™ Mattress, with its innovative technologies and brand reputation, promises an appealing sleep experience. However, the consistently reported issue of the mattress running too warm is a significant deterrent. Considering its premium price point, the balance between cost and comfort may not tilt favourably for all. Therefore, customers who tend to sleep hot or live in warmer climates may want to consider other options or prefer a mattress with a natural wool top layer for breathability. We advocate for informed choices and underscore the importance of individual comfort and preferences when selecting a mattress.
