It’s really to the point where I like the video before I even watch it. I already know the video is going to be informative and great all around quality. Thanks for the video. Great job as usual!
Ha, thanks +qteezy6501! 😊 My pleasure -- I'm very glad it was helpful, and we really appreciate your kind words and support. Liking the videos really does help other consumers find them!
@@goodbed hi. Do you suggest this mattress over the sealy hybrid plus high point firm? Looking for a mattress to accommodate back and neck pain from double scoliosis. Thanks.
@@diamondw2050 From a feel standpoint, you'll find the High Point Firm to be pretty similar to either the Adapt Medium Hybrid or the ProAdapt Medium Hybrid in terms of softness, memory feel, and bounce, but the Tempur options will tend to have a bit deeper cushioning (more of that hugged or cradled sensation). In terms of accommodating back and neck pain related to scoliosis, each person's curvature is going to be unique. As such, choosing a mattress that works for you is going to be a very individual thing that is more about fitting you to a mattress than it is about any universal characteristics of that mattress. So I'm afraid I can't be of much help there. I hope that's helpful.
Keep in mind the regular medium and the medium hybrid feel completely different. My guy messed up and sent me the regular medium and it was definitely medium-firm to firm. The hybrid is amazing. Recommended.
Hi Tyler -- that's a great point, which we also make in the video. The difference in bounce is very stark for sure. Very glad you are happy with the hybrid! It's certainly a popular collection that a lot of people really seem to like.
@@goodbed I have found that I’m sleeping a bit hot in the hybrid. It is very comfortable so this is rather unfortunate. Not sure if this means I have to get away from memory foam? Do you have suggestions?
Hi Brianna -- thanks for the comment and glad you agree! We try very hard to make it as consistent as possible -- very difficult, but important since one company's "medium" is another brand's "firm" Thanks again!
GoodBed it got delivered 30 min ago and my first thought was that it was too firm. Then it started to envelop me. As everyone has said, it will soften in the first 30 days or so and I’m thinking that then it will be perfect. Will report back in a month. Thanks again for this video.
Thanks for the excellent video. I have narrowed down my selection to two choices- Tempurpedic ProAdapt Soft or the Stearns and Foster Pollock Soft. I am an average weight side sleeper. I have Fibromyalgia and hip pain. I also have terrible insomnia. I also occasionally wake up with lower back pain from sleeping in the wrong position on a very old Serta traditional coil mattress. The S&F Pollock Plush felt great immediately as soon as I laid down. I could have probably went to sleep in the store. That is rare for me-- but that does not mean it would do my body good after 8 hours. The Tempurpedic ProAdapt soft felt odd because I am just not used to laying on a memory foam mattress. I don't feel pressure points, but it feels kind of stiff and not as comfy. I kind of felt like my legs were floating up from the firmness. These are the only two in the store I liked at all, so i would like to pick one of them. I have heard some reviews about the longevity of S&F with sagging. Its hard to find Tempurpedic reviews that are not from their site. Do you have an opinion of which one would be best for me? I love the immediate comfort of the S&F, but i am concerned about my Fibro, hip pain, and the pressure points. What do you think?
Great review and one of the first real reviews on the adapt series. Nice job. Funny I just had a pro-adapt soft delivered this morning to replace the proadapt medium hybrid. We'll see, we are both light weight and it seems very adapting so hoping it works. Edit: The pro-adapt medium hybrid was very nice however a slight bit firm for a shoulder issue and we had an issue with the coils being loud (you could hear a pop) Tempur-pedic said it was likely a defect.
Thanks +A.M B -- I'm very glad this video was helpful for you! FYI, once you've had your ProAdapt Soft for a while, it would be awesome if you could share your own personal experience with it as a review on GoodBed, where people who are shopping for a mattress and looking for unbiased information will find it most easily. As this is a new model, there are no reviews of it yet, so I'm quite sure your feedback would be useful to other mattress shoppers. If you're willing, here is a direct link to where you can post your review of this mattress: www.goodbed.com/review-mattress/mattress/tempur-pro-adapt-soft/
Hi, I agree this was a good review on the new line. I have the Pro Adapt Med and I am having the same issue on my shoulders. Ive only had it for 11 nights but I can tell that I don't see it getting any better on the pressure on my shoulders. It is great on my back only if I sleep on my back all night but I sleep 75% on side and 25% on back. I weigh 155 athletic slender built and I was recommended the Pro adapt medium by the manufacturer but I feel it may be too firm for a side sleeper of my weight. Can you please let me know how the soft works out in a week or so. Thanks because after the 30 days Im switching this one out for a softer model.
Hi Isaac -- Thanks for your comment. FYI, if you're willing to share your experience with the ProAdapt Medium, that would be very helpful to other consumers as well -- you can do that here: www.goodbed.com/review-mattress/model/tempur-pedic-medium-1/
Isaac g do you have the pro adapt medium or medium hybrid? The Medium hybrid is a little softer, as it has the ES material lower density. Medium has higher density. The soft may be too soft actually, only a few nights but so far the hybrid may have felt better.
A.M B I have the pro-adapt medium. Sleeping in side it does trigger some pressure on my shoulders, sleeping on my back it feels very supportive, I just wish my upper back could sink in just a little more but the lumbar support while sleeping on back is good.
I've made the mistake of buying a $3,000 tempurpedic mattress. The first week of sleeping on the mattress i suffered from lower back pain & sciatica. My back can't take anymore pain from this temperpedic nightmare. I just ordered a beautyrest bed. I'll try to return the temperpedic. Hopefully they take it back.
Sorry to hear this, Johnny. Did you take our quiz to find out which mattresses are most likely to fit your needs? We believe it's the best way to hone in on a model that's going to support you and meet your comfort preferences. We hope the BR mattress works out better for you -- you can take our quiz and see what match score the bed you ordered gives you. Start the quiz here: www.goodbed.com/mattress-finder/quiz/
My sister bought me a mattress. I thought it was just a regular one. But apparently, it was a tempur pedic adapt medium. So excited to sleep on it soon!
Thanks Rachel. I'm sorry to hear that you didn't get such a good explanation from Tempur. In their defense, I don't think any company can explain their products as clearly as we can -- it's simply too easy for a manufacturer to get tied up in their own marketing lingo and sales message, whereas we cut all that out and explain things in plain English for our readers. Likewise, no manufacturer would ever want to say anything about their products that might dissuade even a single customer from buying that product. By contrast, we are able to highlight the distinct characteristics of any given product in an objective manner that clearly illustrates how it could be a great match for one person but less of a match for another, based on an evaluation framework that we can apply consistently across all different brands. Although it seems that every website has an opinion about mattresses these days, GoodBed is the only objective source of mattress information that is based on this caliber of depth and expertise. So as a result, we would certainly recommend against buying any mattress without first reading our take on it to know what you're really getting. I hope that's helpful.
Hi - thanks again for your reviews and answering my questions. Very brief update for those who may be interested . I bought a Medium Cocoon chill. Too firm and too bouncy for me. Maybe because I’m lightweight 102 lb, but I don’t even sink in. I’ll be looking at TempurPedic again..... ugh.....open wallet, money flying away .....
Good luck, Lauren. Your story really illustrates why a mattress that's perfect for one person might not be right for another. Those on the lighter side will definitely experience more firmness from a given mattress that someone that's 50 or 75 pounds heavier. Let us know what you end up with!
I was choosing between the Pro Adapt medium and the Sleep number bed. Due to my parents and two brothers and their wives all swearing by the Sleep number bed, I went with the Sleep Number P6 which has 11" of a top layer. However after ordering it and seeing videos of basically a air mattress and foam on top, I wish I spent a little more time thinking about the Tempur Pedic bed. However on the one bed I tried it was like laying on sand on the beach where you sink it and its a little hard to move around on. Thankfully the new beds have a layer to help with heat which should make it more comfortable. After having the air mattress for 30 days, if it does not work, I will be going for this bed.
Hi Keef. Thanks for the comment. The Tempur-pedic beds all have memory foam -- that 'sand' feeling you're talking about -- but some have less of it than others. Good luck with the Sleep Number. We haven't reviewed it, but we did just post a review of the similar Saatva Solaire: th-cam.com/video/vou4NO-7emQ/w-d-xo.html
I left this comment in another one of your videos. I had the Adapt Medium Hybrid and the coils made a popping noise. A month ago I got the ProAdapt Medium Hybrid and the coils have made a popping noise from day one and it’s getting worse, and it’s loud. Sometimes you can get out of bed and still hear coils popping up, delayed reaction. I don’t know if it’s normal, but if you search individual pocketed coil noise/popping, it says the coils are failing, or the mattress is old and it’s time to buy a new mattress. My ProAdapt Medium Hybrid was made on 11/17/22 so it’s not old at all. Purchased from Tempur-Pedic and it’s been the most comfortable and best Tempur-Pedic out of the 5 different ones I’ve had in 3 years time, finally found the right mattress. I just don’t want to keep it if it’s broken, especially for the price. Is Tempur-Pedic coil popping noise normal? Thank you!
Hi there -- Thanks for your question. No, your mattress should not be making a loud sound when you get up. So this is definitely not normal. I'd recommend taking some video that captures this and getting this replaced. I hope that's helpful.
@@goodbed Thank you very much! It almost sounds like popcorn when you move around. I’m guessing the springs somehow are sticking and then popping up and hitting the foam. I really appreciate it. 👍🏻👍🏻
I have the firm. Firmer is better for me even though I sleep on my side. It takes a while, but you do sink in some after you lay on it for a while. 6'1 150 lbs
Hi Jesse -- Thanks so much for sharing your experience here. FYI, your feedback would be even more helpful as a review on GoodBed, where people who are shopping for a mattress and looking for unbiased information will find it more easily. If you're willing, here is a direct link to where you can post your review of this mattress: www.goodbed.com/review-mattress/model/tempur-pro-adapt-firm/
Purchased the Proadapt medium about 30 days ago. I'm still finding it quite firm even after the break in period. I am a side sleeper. I don't like the sink in feeling to much but I find this mattress quite firm. I understand it's great for my back and alignment but I'm struggling with true comfort. What would you recommend, I have 60 more days or so to exchange. The medium hybrid or the soft or something entirely different. I tried them both in store. Soft feels amazing at first but I'm worried about sinking in and not having proper alignment. I'm 6 3 210. Loved this video and enjoyed reading all of the comments.
Hi Mike -- Thanks for your comment and kind words. I'm very glad the video was helpful for you -- just wish you'd have found it before you made your purchase! Seems like it would have saved you a lot of hassle and discomfort. Re: other options, you mentioned "exchange," which I take it means you need to find another option at that specific store. That makes it hard for me to offer any concrete ideas other than within this same line. That said, I do think the Medium Hybrid or Soft could still be a good option for you. We classify the Medium Hybrid as a Medium and the Soft as a Medium-Soft -- at your size, I wouldn't rule out either of those from an alignment standpoint -- unless you sleep a lot on your stomach. If you're primarily a side sleeper, I think the Soft could be OK, though I do think you're going to get a fair bit of that "sinking in" feel, which you mentioned that you don't like too much. Net, the Medium Hybrid seems like it could be the best compromise between the various considerations in your case. I hope that helps.
we went for the med hybrid will let you know how that goes. I too am I side sleeper. I would have gone with the soft hybrid but not firm enough for my hubby so we did the medium. Will let you know how the break-in period goes.
Temper products, since the last breeze collection, don’t really seem to have a break in period. I noticed some softening many years in but not originally. I’m hoping for the same from this line. Buy what feels good and use the 90 day trial!
I have studied lots of videos and tried various mattresses over the last two years and still struggled with pain in lower back or hips. Am 69, 5'7" and weight usually ranges between 150-155. Am fairly active. Finally I decided to splurge on the Tempurpedic Pro-Adapt Soft version, because I am a side sleeper and thought pressure relieve would be good. The first couple weeks, I thought it was great. I didn't mind the sinking in feeling, because it was just so darn comfortable. No pain on shoulders, back, or hips, and though it did sleep a bit hot, I didn't mind because it was the first mattress not needing a topper. Then, I began thinking perhaps it was a tad too soft, because I felt some discomfort in lower back that seemed alleviated if I slipped a rolled up towel under lower back. So I was conflicted about whether to exchange it, since you only get one exchange. I decided after two months to exchange for the medium hybrid, which I got about a week ago. So far it seems pretty good, though I do notice a small amount of hip pain, though nor a game changer for overall satisfaction. I really think the soft was a little too soft for me. Is the Medium Hybrid likely to soften up any?
Hi Mary Lou. I hope you're doing well with the Medium Hybrid -- let us know. Over time, yes -- all mattresses are going to soften to some degree. It's something that happens gradually over time, so you aren't likely to notice it overnight -- rather over months or years.
@@goodbed Thanks for response. I ended up buying the newest Tempurpedic topper, which has 3 inches of their best foam, so it seems to have helped. I might remove it and see if I can do without the topper. Maybe the mattress will soften so I don't need the topper.
I just tested out this pro adapt medium and the sleep number i8. They were both amazing (and pricey) but I’m absolutely investing in this bed. Which one do you think is better? It’s just me. @goodbed
I bought the ProAdapt Hybrid, and I've been airing it out for 2 weeks, but the strong chemical smell is TERRIBLE! If I put the mattress in my bedroom, I start coughing. When does the smell go away? Watch out for this...seems like not many people comment on it.
Hi Ash -- thanks for the comment. Sorry to hear that. In our experience, nearly all mattresses have some kind of new-mattress odor. Typically, most of it dissipates in a couple of days, with some lingering odor lasting a week or two. However, some people are a lot more sensitive to that odor than others (our tester Mike is not particularly bothered by it). If you can put the mattress in a garage or other well-ventilated space, that may help accelerate the process. A couple of home remedies we have heard of: Vacuum it. Vacuuming may help suck out the trapped air (and odors). Another: with a sheet on top of the mattress (to avoid soil or damage), sprinkle baking soda all over the sheet. This works in the same way that sprinkling baking soda in your shoes can help eliminate odors. Leave the baking soda there for a couple of days, then fold up the sheet and dispose of the baking soda. Hope those suggestions help -- the smell should definitely dissipate, but it's true that some are worse than others.
Hi there -- Thanks for your comment. Sorry to hear you've been disappointed with your purchase. It sounds like this model is not a good fit for your body from a spinal alignment standpoint. If you're willing to share a review of your experience with this product where millions of other mattress shoppers will find it, you can do that here: www.goodbed.com/review-mattress/model/tempur-pedic-medium-1/ Thank you again for sharing your experience.
this is the best pro adapt review i have seen so far thank you :) im a side sleeper looking for the best pressure relief i can get in the hip area ... would you recommend the pro adapt soft? Im not interested in the hybrids.
Hi Coleen -- Thanks for your question (and your kind words!). Pressure relief is certainly an area where Tempur-Pedic mattresses tend to excel, and the ProAdapt Soft would be no exception to that. That said, there are other mattresses that also offer very good pressure relief, and pressure relief is just one factor (out of a dozen or more) that we consider when recommending a specific mattress to someone, so while it certainly sounds promising, I can't say for sure whether the ProAdapt Soft would be my top pick in your case. If you haven't already done so, and want to see mattresses that best match your full set of criteria, the best starting point is to take the match quiz on our website, which you can find here: www.goodbed.com/mattress-finder/ I hope that's helpful.
@@coleenosmond3035 -- My point in recommending the quiz was that in order to make an informed recommendation that considers the various other criteria that are important for you, I first need more information about you. Getting that information quickly and easily -- and then using an intelligent matching algorithm to search across many hundreds of options to find your best matches -- is what our quiz does much better than I (or any human) can do. That said, if you want a human read on your results, feel free to come back here after taking the quiz and paste a link to your results page -- I'm happy to provide my human input. As an aside, be aware that anyone else who positions themselves as a mattress expert and DOES give you a generic list of the "best" or "recommended" mattresses is either a) not an expert at all or b) simply a salesperson in disguise. Or both. Either way, they're a scammer, so be careful. There are literally dozens of scammer mattress review sites out there today that are full of misleading information, many of which are secretly backed by mattress companies. The two things that give most of them away are "best" lists and "overall" ratings for a given mattress. If you see an "unbiased" website that has one or both of those, run from it at top speed.... I hope that's helpful.
@@goodbed I just tested out this pro adapt medium and the sleep number i8. They were both amazing (and pricey) but I’m absolutely investing in this bed. Which one do you think is better? It’s just me.
Great review, really helps a lot. I am from Canada, and some store has Tempur-Pedic ProAlign and Align series, they told me it's totaly same with Adapt series, just a different name with lower price. However, I can't find a single review of the Align series, can you please explain a little bit?
Hi and thanks for the comment. We aren't up on Canadian versions -- but if the salesperson told you that the Align/ProAlign are the Canadian versions of the Adapt/ProAdapt, then what we say about those models in our video should apply. The lower price could easily be down to customs/tax differences since countries have different import/export policies for materials.
Got an adapt medium hybrid and on the trial phase (less than 30 days) I'm finding it too soft. I'm sinking a bit, especially the hips area. Should I go with an adapt medium (non hybrid) or a firm? As a side sleeper I'm a tad scared to go straight to a firm, but do think it maybe what Im looking for.
Hi there -- If the Adapt Medium Hybrid is noticeably too soft for you, I don't think you'd find significant enough difference in the Adapt Medium (non-hybrid) to justify the change. And AFAIK there is no Firm in the Adapt line-up. So assuming you like the rest of what the Tempur product line has to offer, you may want to consider the ProAdapt Firm. I hope that's helpful.
@@goodbed Thanks, It was helpful. Ill either have to fork $900+ to go pro adapt firm or switch brands. I like the tempur feel, Ive used the same tempur pillow for over 2 decades! It's just that my lower back is sinking around 3" lower than my torso, and it doesn't like it as I wake up stiff with some discomfort (wouldn't call it pain on most days).
@@akaredcrossbow I did. Much better with the pro adapt firm after I added a thin (2") soft "gel" mattress pad to the top. No back aches, it's firm and the pad adds a little comfort. One problem I'm having now, because it is firmer, my shoulders won't "sink" in to the matters as much and my 15-20 yr old pillow feels now a bit too low. I tried 8 different pillows, including a cube aberration and none come close to the original Tempur memory foam pillow I have. You'd imagine tech would improve over the years, but it's clearly not the case. One problem someone may have with this combo (mattress + topper/pad) is it will be very thick. My linen stretches quite a bit, so I had no issues, but the bedjet air heater (for instance) won't even reach the too of the mattress (so it's useless).
@@Shadow__133 Thank you for the reply. I’ve been suffering with the Luxeadapt soft. Hips, shoulders and sciatic issues. I moved to the much firmer couch for a much better night sleep, but the couch is starting to sag in the middle. I just tried out the the Proadapt firm and the Proadapt medium at a mattress firm. The medium was too soft and the firm felt just right. The bed store has hundreds of people laying down on these beds so they become softer, broken in. So I feel that the firm will be the perfect bed for me over time. Unfortunately 100-120 nights is not enough to test a bed. My Luxeadapt started hurting me just a little over 4 months (120 nights plus) so I couldn’t return it. I’m willing to bet most people that buy a new bed love it until 5 months later and have to deal with it.
We bought the Pro Adapt medium, King. We've had it 4 months. I'm 6'2", 205 lbs. and a side sleeper. The bed feels great when I first get in but after a couple hours my lower back on the mattress side begins to ache. I switch to my other side and the same occurs. I roll on to my back and begin to ache in the lower middle. We have a year to make a one time exchange. My wife thinks we could add a 2" or 3" gel or memory foam topper to fix the problem. I think a $3,000 bed should be comfortable as is. What would you suggest? Thank you for an excellent video and your opinion will be much appreciated.
Hey, was wondering what, if anything, ended up helping?? We bought the Medium a month ago and I'm experiencing exactly the same thing with my sides aching and then mid-back aching when I'm on my back. I want so badly to love it because it feels so comfortable when I get in and because my husband absolutely loves it and now has zero back pain.
I heard a reviewer say that the medium hybrid pro adapt would be like sleeping on a traditional inner spring mattress. That is not what I'm looking for ever! I have memory foam now and I'm buying a house I want a new bed for myself and to use the memory foam as a guest bed. I have serious issues with pain and nobody can tell me what to do. I took a bed quiz at another place and it came up with the big fig whatever the hell that is!
Watching this now since I just bought a pro adapt medium with an adjustable base tonight lolol.... I hope I will like it, final price was $3500 for both.
Good afternoon. We are currently trying to decide between the "Adapt" and "Pro Adapt" series. The medium hybrid's are our favorites. Other than the extra expense, what would be the sale point between the two. We want this to be out last mattress for a very long time. I don't want to make a mistake. Thank you so much for this review BTW. You are really helping a lot of people.
Hi Davis -- Thanks for your question. Did you see the section of the video where we describe the 3 key features that are added when you step up to ProAdapt? It starts at the 5:27 mark. I hope that provides a clear answer for you.
Hi there -- Thanks for your question, and your kind words. I wouldn't categorically recommend any given mattress to all side sleepers, since there are many other factors besides sleep position that greatly impact what mattress is best for someone. That said, I certainly wouldn't rule out the Adapt Medium for side sleepers, as its conforming and pressure relieving capabilities would be a good match for a solid portion of them. To help you narrow the universe of mattress options to the ones that best meet all of your needs and preferences, I'd recommend taking our mattress matching quiz which gathers all the relevant inputs to consider and then searches across brands and stores to show you options that best match your requirements. If you haven't already taken it, you can find that quiz here: www.goodbed.com/mattress-finder/ I hope that's helpful.
On 10-21-23 Tempur recommended the ProBreeze Hybrid and now that we have the matress it is not close to being a match for our existing Tempur-Flex Hybrid Elite. On 1-4-24 Tempur now is saying the ProAdapt Med Hybrid is the direct replacement for the Tempur-Flex Hybrid Elite model. We are seeking to get a King Tempur-Pedic that matches our existing Tempur-Flex Hybrid Elite and wondering if anyone has done the same and their experiences. Thanks for the overview.
Good questions. So we'd generally agree with Tempur's second response on 1/4/24. Relative to the Flex Hybrid Elite, the ProAdapt Medium Hybrid probably is the closest match. However, it is still likely to feel pretty different (and probably slightly firmer than the Flex Hybrid) due to changes that Tempur has made to its hybrids made during that period, and differences in the foam that was used in the Flex models (some of which was faster-responding and is no longer used anywhere in the Tempur line-up). Both the Adapt and ProAdapt should be softer than the ProBreeze though, which we think tends to feel a bit firm. You might also try the Adapt Hybrid as well. I hope that's helpful.
Not sure anyone is still following this thread, but I'm trying to choose between the Cloud Supreme, a discontinued model that is available at Costco ($1749 for queen), versus the Pro Adapt (probably medium -- which is around $3200 for queen after discounts). Is the Pro Adapt worth the extra money in your view or are they pretty comparable?
I bought the Firm model and it’s like sleeping on the floor... I don’t know if it’s because it’s brand new or the temp in my room but I wake up with a a sore lower back.
Georgie Give it about a month for the mattress to adjust. At first your mattress will be much more firm then it was when you first laid on a floor model.
Hi Mike. I love your video reviews on the Tempurpedic lines, however, I am having trouble finding a review on their line called Tempur Original 21 cm or 25 cm, which is sold in Italy. I would love it if you could do a review on how these models are or tell me of which Tempur-Pedic series they are comparable to that are sold in the U.S.A. Thank you for your wonderful, informative, and well explained product reviews!
Hi Paj. Oof -- that's a tough one. We don't have info on European versions. Tempur-pedic is known for its memory foam, so I imagine they are using some similar materials for their European mattresses. But I'm sorry -- we don't have specific comparison information for you. Are you in Italy or the US?
Nice review. Considering the more medium feel for the hybrid, would you recommend that for a normal weight combo side and back sleeper - or is the medium non-hybrid a better play? Also, is there any longer term temp difference with the hybrid given that it’s more breathable?
I would definitely recommend it for side sleepers, I'm not sure about back. And depending on your weight the hybrid will definitely be a cooler temp than the the regular.
I have the pro adapt hybrid and I think maybe I should have gotten this soft because this matches feels so firm to me I sleep on my stomach and on my side so that’s why I went with a hybrid but it just feels so firm
Just what I've been waiting for. Excellent review. I am still waiting for my Adapt medium hybrid to be delivered. They bumped it up to next Friday now. UUGGGHH!!!. After your review, I think I made the right choice. I needed a little softer feel since I am a side sleeper and the adapt medium all foam just felt a bit to firm. My back was hurting when I went to try one out and when I laid on the hybrid I just felt this instant relief and comfort. I'm done with all full spring mattresses and looking forward to less movement when I dogs jump on and off the bed. Also, I didn't know the cover was removable, they never mentioned that in the store either. Thx for the info. Do you think a separate mattress pad will take away from the coolness of the mattress cover?
Hi Jen -- Thanks for your question, and kind words -- I'm very glad this review was helpful for you! RE: the cover, it is actually only removable on the ProAdapt, not the Adapt, so that could be why it wasn't mentioned to you in the store. RE: a mattress pad, yes that will take away from the coolness of the cover -- the coolness in this case is a coolness "to the touch," so you won't feel that through a piece of foam. I feel pretty confident that you'd still feel it through a sheet but TBH I don't know to what degree you'll feel it through a sheet and mattress protector. Will be curious to hear your experience on this once you get it!
Ok, didn't catch it was only available on the pro series, no problem. I'll let you know how it works with a mattress pad. I got the purple mattress pad that is thinner and supposed to keep your mattress cool along with their sheets. Seemed to have gotten rave reviews, but we shall see. Thx again, :-)
@Ryan B Personally, i didn't care for it. The first few weeks were great, then after 2 months i started waking up to back aches. It also bothered me every time i first sat on the bed, or turn abruptly I could feel the coils underneath. Just seemed like the mattress itself was too thin. I got rid of it and now i'm waiting on my purple 4 to be delivered. I think it might be a better fit for me.
Jen Marie Oh my God please let me know because I have the medium hybrid and I find it too firm, and I wake up super sore. I’m considering purple 4. Let me know what you think!!!
I got this mattress a month ago and I got vertigo the first two nights I slept on it which no one could explain why that would happen. I woke up with vertigo and I've never had it in my life but it went away and I slept longer than I slept in years. But the last week I've been having worse back pain low back pain I've ever had in my life. Can it be from this bed? I don't understand because I've been sleeping on a sagging couch for 3 years and I've never had back issues. So why now with the almost $4,000 mattress am I having low back pain all the time? And what would be a better option? It's not fair that we only get to exchange it one time
Hi KB -- Contrary to popular misunderstanding (which is sadly, propogated by most other mattress review sites), back pain is not solved by having a better mattress -- it is solved by having a better mattress for YOU. This means that regardless of the mattress having great materials, high workmanship quality, or a large price tag, the key thing that will reduce back pain is simply the degree to which it holds your spine in proper neutral alignment while you sleep. No mattress can do this well for everyone, just the same as no pair of pants will be a good fit for everyone. Its ability to do this will depend on how well the support characteristics of that mattress match up with your weight, body shape, and preferred sleep position(s). In your case, you mention that you were not having pain on the sagging couch but you are having back pain with this mattress. There are two possible explanations here. 1) This a sign that your body really needs a LOT of conformance (eg, if you're. heavier and/or curvier side sleeper), and the soft sagging couch was just the ticket, so what you need is a mattress that replicates this. 2) After having slept on that sagging couch for 3 years, your body became used to this and even started to adapt to it. This type of thing can take some time (weeks at least, if not months) to undo. So you may find that until your body readjusts to being properly supported, it won't like being held in that position. Sorry I can't be more definitive here but I hope that's at least somewhat helpful nonetheless.
@@goodbed thanks but how come this tempurpedic the pro adapt firm the hardest one they have? I think It's already in some spots. If I push in it goes in a lot. When a few weeks ago it was barely able to put it indentation in it. Now that there's several spots. If I push in it goes in and it's way lower than the other side already. And like I said I'm 260 lb. I'm not like I'm 400 lb or something and I've only had it for a month Soft spots lots of them
@@krisinua I'm not sure I can answer that without seeing the bed. The only thing I can think of is: 1) with firm memory foam like in that model, it matters quite a bit how fast you try to push in -- pushing in fast will meet with a lot of initial resistance but pushing in a little slower will meet with less resistance. Eventually you'll be able to push in pretty far either way though, because there's a lot of conformance. 2) with memory foam, the temp of the foam has a huge effect on its softness. Room temp from new to now should feel fairly similar. But when the foam has been warmed by your body, it will definitely be much softer, even when brand new -- as we say in software development, that's a feature not a bug. I hope that's helpful.
Have same question dec, 2023. Found one reddit review saying only difference is cover. Marketing thing and is only in Canadianselect stores. So for about 1k less than pro-adapt , i went with Pro-Align medium kingsize. Loved pro-adapt medium feel at sleep country canada and crossing my fingers
Question. I’m paralyzed I have a hospital bed with a loud air mattress. Is there a mistress gel cooled to take the place of my hillrom beds mattress and pump? The bed frame is electric it sits up and down and goes up and down also. Will this work for me???
So it sounds like you’re looking for a mattress that keep you cool at night correct? You should look into their flagship bed that’s around $4,000 (expensive yes I know, but you spend a 1/3 of your life sleeping and getting deep sleep plays a major role in your life) most of their beds will do a great job at keeping you cool anyhow, hope you find the right bed for you man!
I’m having queen Contour Elite right now and really like it, now I want to buy the king size of that for my master bedroom. Can you saw me what’s mattress look like ?
Hi Trey. Yes, this is a common complaint about memory foam -- it's not so much that the bed is actively 'trapping' heat -- but that you are sinking in more, and without springs or some method of air flow, there's just not as much circulation of air as there typically is with a hybrid or innerspring bed. If you do like the feel of memory foam, a hybrid mattress -- with a spring support core -- is usually a better choice than an all-foam mattress in terms of heat management.
Great! Good luck and we hope it serves you well. We would love to invite you to add a review on GoodBed for the ProAdapt, where people who are shopping for a mattress and looking for unbiased information will find it most easily. If you're willing, here is a direct link to where you can submit your review of this mattress: www.goodbed.com/mattress-line/tempur-proadapt/
@Michael Forbes same here . We have the king pro adapt soft and are wondering if it's going to break in or not. We woke up sore ,bed seems firm, and are considering the luxe adapt in soft . Thoughts ?
@@mikemcbeehtx how’s the bed after 2 years? I have a pro adapt Medium hybrid and it’s way to firm for me , and was looking into getting the soft as an exchange.
@@danielvazquez3740 the pro adapt soft is good but not great. I'd say after 1 month we were wishing we had gotten the breeze model. It sleeps very hot and we currently have a open cell foam topper on it that cooled it off a little. We've had that topper on there for atleast 18 months without it we would've sold it , it was that hot . Next we will try the luxe breeze soft . Alot to pay for this one and need a topper. We wouldn't buy it again.
Hi there -- Thanks for your question. The prices we quoted in the video are / were the MAP prices (basically, the minimum prices allowed by Tempur-Pedic) at the time of the video. Tempur-Pedic does have the tendency to raise these from time to time, so the best place to see the current MAP prices is on their site here: www.goodbed.com/o/m/tempur-pedic/ I hope that's helpful.
I am considering the Pro Adapt Firm. I weigh 270 and I'm a side and back sleeper. Do you think that's a good model to consider? Is TP worth the insane amount of money that they ask for their beds? Please help, subbed.
This is great! I used to have the tempur flex elite and have been looking at the adapt medium hybrid. Would you say they have a similar feel? Thanks so much for yiur help!
Hi Anthony. We haven't covered that discontinued model in depth, so I can't say for sure. I CAN point you to our GoodBed Quiz, the best way to find a bed that will meet your needs and preferences. Then you see how your needs match up against the Adapt Medium Hybrid. Start the quiz here: www.goodbed.com/mattress-finder/quiz/
Hi Marc -- Thanks for your question. Tempur-Pedic regulates the prices at which their dealers can sell their products, so in most stores the prices will be the same. That said, they only regulate the *minimum* price so some stores definitely set their prices above that level. Tempur-Pedic's website will generally show the lowest-allowable price at any given time, so it's best to check there before buying anywhere else. GoodBed also will show that price on our site: www.goodbed.com/mattresses/tempur-pedic/ In terms of price, the one other thing you can do is if GoodBed has a trusted partner store in your area, you can save an additional $50 by getting a cash back code from GoodBed.com before you buy. This comes from GoodBed so is on top of whatever discounts you get from the store. To redeem the offer, all you have to do is come back to GoodBed after making your purchase and enter the code you got before your purchase. Beyond those factors, the key thing that will differentiate Tempur-Pedic retailers is their customer service and their store policies. These considerations will be reflected in store reviews, return policy, delivery policy, financing options, etc. We look at these factors closely In choosing our trusted partner stores, so if we have one or more partners in your area that carry Tempur-Pedic, those would be good bets on this front as well. To check whether we have selected a trusted partner in your area that carries Tempur-Pedic, just open the link that I pasted above (www.goodbed.com/mattresses/tempur-pedic/) -- if we do, there will be a banner on this page that shows it. To make sure we have estimated your location correctly, you can also try using the search box at the top of the page to search for your zip code and see if any trusted partners appear on the store locator results page. I hope that's helpful.
I’ve been referencing this video so much but I feel like I should just ask lol. My wife and I went into a mattress firm to try some beds and we both agreed that we enjoyed the adapt. I was looking to saving some money if the older products were the same and in the video, you mentioned that it is closer to the cloud supreme or cloud prima. Would you say the flex prima or tempur legacy is close to the adapt as well?
Hi Justin. Good question. The changes from collection to collection with Tempur-pedic are iterative -- that is, they tend to represent small changes in materials rather than large leaps in comfort, support, and features. So the short answer -- yes. If you see a good deal on an earlier model, that could be an option. A good guide is to compare by original price. Tempur-pedic is one of those brands that sells for the same money almost everywhere, with little discounting except for discontinued model lines. The hybrid models in the Adapt line are closest to the discontinued Flex collection. You might want to check out our older overview video of the 2017 Tempu-pedic models, which includes the Breeze, Flex and Contour models. th-cam.com/video/wt___cVXkzk/w-d-xo.html Good luck and thanks for the question!
nice review bought proadapt soft with tempur ergo base we love it so far.. break in period was kind of firm to us but now this is perfect.. wish it wont be hot this summer btw was wondering about mattress protector am i force to get one ?
Hi there -- No one will force you to buy a mattress protector, but we think it's a good idea. A moisture-resistant mattress protector will keep your mattress free of stains and dust. Most mattress warranties will not be honored if your mattress has stains, so a mattress protector is also protecting your ability to invoke warranty service if needed down the line. Hope that helps!
Hi, thanks for the awesome review! My husband and I just went into the Tempurpedic store to test out mattresses and decided we like the ProAdapt line. But, we're struggling with which firmness level to get. We are replacing a first gen Tempurpedic, so we're used to sleeping on memory foam, but they've changed a lot! I am mostly a stomach/side sleeper (5' 110 lbs) and my husband is a back/side sleeper (6' 2" 195 lbs). I love the feeling of a soft mattress, but read that with mostly sleeping on my stomach firmer is better. My husband prefers a firmer feel. I'm trying to narrow it down between the ProAdapt medium and medium hybrid. My husband likes the firm feeling of the medium and I like the extra give from the hybrid. For our sleeping needs and different body sizes which mattress would you say is the best compromise? Thanks so much!
Hi Sarah. It's true that we typically recommend firmer mattresses for stomach sleepers. However, in your case, you are so light that a given mattress is going to feel firmer to you than it does to our 200-pound tester (who is about the same size as your husband). What you are talking about here is personal preference -- from a support standpoint, it sounds like either suits both of your needs. So it comes down to hammering out who 'wins' in terms of that softness preference. You don't mention what size you need, but if you are looking for a king size, one option is to buy two twin XL mattresses and place them side by side on your frame (be sure to get mattresses of the same height). Something else to think about -- the Hybrid version is going to be bouncier than the ProAdapt. That's something most couples have an opinion on. Some couples like a mattress with a little bounce for sex, for example. With an all-foam bed like the ProAdapt, it won't have any bounce at all. So for you two, that might be a tiebreaker. Hope that's helpful!
We have an Adapt medium now. We are sleeping hot. We are debating about upgrading to a ProAdapt Hybrid Medium or a Breeze Hybrid Medium (this would be floor model- we are being told the exterior "phase change cooling" would be compromised due to dirt). Breeze still feels cooler that ProAdapt. Any thoughts?
Hi Carrie. The direct effect of today's phase-change materials and coatings is difficult to assess scientifically, and keep in mind that you're putting a mattress protector and sheets on top of it, most likely negating at least some effect of those cooling features. In our view, choosing a mattress with better airflow will have a larger impact for those that sleep hot. So going with innerspring or a hybrid with pocketed coils will most likely allow for more exchange of warm air for cooler air. So between those three, either the Breeze Hybrid Medium or the ProAdapt Hybrid have the most potential for air flow. As you likely noted in the video, we did think that the high-density fibers in the cover of these Tempur models felt notably cool -- at least some portion of that cooling feeling should still be felt through your sheets and a mattress protector, but it's hard to project how noticeable that will be for you. I hope that's helpful.
Hi Carrie -- Thanks again for your question about this. In case you're still mulling over this decision, I wanted to let you know that we've just released our overview of the new Tempur-Breeze line-up for 2019. You can check it out here: th-cam.com/video/w8khinNUCdE/w-d-xo.html If you find it helpful, please give it a thumbs-up!
Does anyone actually sleep directly on the mattress cover? I very much doubt they do. Not a very nice feel compared to any even half-decent sheet. Therefore, what good is a "cooling" cover?
Hi there -- Good question. Of course most people don't (and shouldn't) sleep directly on the mattress. The benefit of a cooling surface is that when the heat from your body does reach it (which still happens through a sheet and even a protector), it gets pulled further away from your body, which creates a sensation of coolness. This effect is delayed (and therefore less pronounced) the more fabric is between you and the mattress, but it still happens. Think of it like putting a sheet on a slab of marble -- it would feel much less cool to the touch, but once the heat from your body goes through the sheet, the marble would still pull it away from your body. So the marble would still feel cooler to have your sheet on than, say, carpet. Of course, with any material, this effect lasts only as long as it takes for your body to warm the surface, but for that period of time it will be a bit cooler. Hope that's helpful.
Well I went and tried this bed and I really like it. (Pro adapt hybrid medium) I'm trying to save a bit of money and find an alterative. I was leaning heavily towards the saavta but worry the luxury firm may be a bit more firm then this mattress..(based on reading reviews ) ..any thoughts ?
Hi there -- Thanks for your question. I assume you're talking abut the Loom & Leaf (made by Saatva) rather than the Saatva itself. The flagship Saatva mattress feels nothing like any Tempur-Pedic mattress so it definitely won't be a good substitute. The Loom & Leaf is a similarly constructed mattress to a Tempur-Pedic overall in that it has a substantial amount of that slow-melting memory feel. But unlike the Hybrid model you tried, it won't have any bounce (it has no springs). It also differs in that it has about 1.5" of quilting foam on top that is not memory foam, which makes the memory feel a little less pronounced and the contouring a little less closely hugging than with a Tempur-Pedic. All of these differences are what we call "preference-based" characteristics, so there is no better or worse -- just a matter of determining which is a better match for your personal preferences. I hope that's helpful.
Hi there -- Thanks for your question. We get this one a lot, and in fact there may even be other comments on this very video that ask about this. The short answer is that sheets certainly do mitigate the "coolness to the touch" experience. However they don't remove the cooling benefit. The cooling effect is created by the fact that the cooling features are able to absorb heat from your body, and as this heat is being pulled from your body it creates a sensation of coolness. When you place materials between you and the cooling feature, it simply takes the heat a little longer to reach the cooling feature. But it still does reach, and as/when it does, you still benefit from it. However it is not as palpable as when you are touching that cooling feature directly. I hopet that's helpful.
Hi Mike, thanks to your reviews, I have narrowed my choice of mattresses down to two. The Purple 4, or the TP Pro Adapt Medium Hybrid. I am a side sleeper, which means I require pressure relief. I believe either of these mattresses will provide that. I also tend to sleep hot. From personal experience, I know the Purple provides a neutral sleep temperature, but I am concerned the TP Pro Adapt Medium Hybrid might not. If I chose the TP Pro Adapt Medium Hybrid, do you have any suggestions on creating a neutral sleep temperature?
I came VERY close to getting the purple as we had them in our local store and loved the flexible bounce. The fact that purple has a MONEY BACK guarantee makes it easy to "try out" without fear of being stuck with it. Unfortunately we went with the proadapt medium and its far to firm for us. Husband carried 50lbs of weights in his hands and jogged over the mattress trying to open up the cells but to no avail. Folks keep telling us we need to soften the bed and that we will love it after 30 days...still not feeling it (but its an excellent cardio & leg strengthening session when we jog on it. LOL) I wish we had started with purple because of their money back policy. Fortunately, after watching this great video I think the medium hybrid will do the trick as we can ONLY exchange our bed for another-no money back. Sooo, all that being said if I had it to do again I would start with purple. Its important you keep a good waterproof protector over the mattress because if you spill coffee or anything you are stuck with the bed. Good luck and it would be great to hear what you decide on and how it fits for your body :)
@@hollyojeda1308 really? I'm 260 lb and I got the pro adapt firm and not even a month later or just about a month. It's got several soft spots, maybe because I'm too heavy, but the one in the showroom didn't even have this many soft spots on it and this is only a month old. I'm definitely exchanging it
Hmmm. If the mattress is on site, then you can always check the date of manufacture on the by-law tag at the head of the bed. If not, then you can check the manufacturer's website to see if the model you're interested align with the current models. And generally mattresses shouldn't "go bad" unless they're stored improperly, so old stock shouldn't be too much of an issue unless it's a used model.
Hi there -- Any mattress that uses polyurethane foam (which is virtually all mattresses) have a little bit of "new mattress" smell. Two things make that worse, of which Tempur-Pedic mattresses have neither. First is foam from low-cost import countries (eg, China), whose foam production is not monitored nearly as closely as our production is here. As a result, they can get away with the use of lower-cost chemicals and/or production processes that make their foam much more pungent and/or toxic. For that reason, cheap imported mattresses are by far the most common source of off-gassing horror stories - ones in which people's noses feel burned by the fumes, etc. No Tempur-Pedic foam is ever made overseas. Second is vacuum-sealing and roll-packing the mattress. This typically happens shortly after the mattress is assembled and traps the chemical odors inside an airtight seal. These odors include not only off-gassing from the foam, but also from other components like glues that hold the layers together, which have typically been applied just moments earlier. In addition, the compression of the mattress means that these gasses can't travel easily from within the mattress, which means they just stay locked in place until the mattress is expanded, after which it can take 48 hours or longer for them to make their way out of the mattress. With a flat-packed mattress (the other, more conventional, approach), the mattress is not compressed and is simply wrapped inside a loose-fitting, non-airtight bag. This allows two things to happen. First, while the mattress is in transit, or in a warehouse, the gasses inside the mattress can escape through osmosis from the interior of the mattress to the exterior of the mattress. Second, the gasses that are inside the bag can slowly seep out of the bag. Thus, by the time you open the bag, most of whatever off-gasses there might have been are already gone. These days, fewer and fewer mattresses are flat-packed, but Tempur-Pedic is one brand that still flat-packs every mattress they make. All that said, some people are acutely sensitive to ANY amount of off-gassing - even feeling light-headed or nauseous sitting in a new car, for example. For such people, the best answer may be a mattress that contains little to no polyurethane foam whatsoever. Springs, as an example, do not off-gas at all. Likewise, all-natural latex has a little bit of an initial smell, but does not have any chemical off-gassing. If sounds like you, here is a list of mattresses that generally meet these criteria, and that you can further filter based on your other wishes and requirements: www.goodbed.com/mattress-models/?support-type=53&comfort-type=5&green=8 I hope that's helpful.
@@goodbed - My Tempurpedic Cloud Supreme was horrendous and gave me headaches and the smell didn't fully subside for an entire year after purchase. I read many complaints at this time about the off-gassing. It's fine now but the first six months I almost threw it out in the garbage...
@@e5m956 Understood. I hope I'm not overstepping, but it sounds like based on these complaints that you saw, you were under the impression that your experience was consistent with that of the average purchaser of a Tempur-Pedic mattress. FWIW, this is not the case. If it were, Tempur-Pedic would long be out of business by now. But more generally, we have the benefit of being able to see all complaints (including the ones you saw) and put them in the context of broader statistical averages and trends based on what portion of each brand's customers are represented by each type of complaint. Of course, it's always possible that you got a weird unit that essentially had some kind of uncommon 'defect' in this regard. However, IMHO it is also worth considering the possibility that you may be someone who is more acutely sensitive to this type of thing. If so, this is not a problem at all! As I provided in the link above, there are many great mattresses that use little to no polyurethane foam (memory foam is one type of poly foam). Since all poly foam has some amount of off-gassing, these options will be the only way to ensure your new mattress doesn't have any off-gassing. I hope that's helpful.
Hi there -- Thanks for your question. It's hard to answer this with certainty, especially since we have not performed an in-depth review of that model. I can say that apart from the cooling fabric in the cover, this mattress does not have specific features like the Tempur-Breeze models that are designed to prevent it from retaining heat. More generally, memory foam does have a tendency to mold to your body more closely than other foams, and when combined with deeper than average cushioning, this can mean that less of your body's surface area is exposed to the air, which can limit your body's ability to efficiently expel heat. On the other hand, by virtue of the coils it uses for support (rather than a foam core) the Hybrid model does have more airflow than other models in this product line, which should help on this front. On balance, the ProAdapt Medium Hybrid is likely to retain less heat than some other Tempur-Pedic models, but if sleeping hot is a known issue for you, there are other options that should sleep cooler, including in the Tempur-Breeze line-up. I hope that's helpful.
I weigh 290lbs and sleep mostly on my back or side. I did bodybuilding when I was younger and my lower back seems to suffer on soft mattresses. Would you recommend the firm or medium?
Hi there -- Thanks for your question. First, it's really hard to generalize what's going to be best for lower back pain -- the only accurate generalization is that your back needs to be supported in a proper neutral position. But unfortunately, no one mattress can do this well for all people because mattress support is highly personal, meaning it's all about "fit." That said, if softer mattresses tend to give you lower back pain, then it seems likely that your back is reacting negatively to sinking deeply into the mattress. This would mean that you'd be best off on a mattress with shallower "cushioning depth" in our parlance. Most or all of the Tempur mattresses have above average cushioning depth, and the amount of cushioning depth would be accentuated for someone that weighs 290 lbs. As such, I don't really feel confident that anything in this line is going to be the best option for you. Given your size, I'd think that your better bet would be a mattress with an extra strong coil unit that is specifically designed for heavier people. You can find a list of those here: www.goodbed.com/guides/best-mattress-heavy-people/ I hope that's helpful.
Hi Eugene - what is your question? You are looking for a serial number for your mattress? Any identifying information will be on the "law label" -- that long label that says it's illegal for it to be removed. A lot of the information there is in code -- so you may need to call the manufacturer for clarification. Hope that's helpful!
Hi DeeDee. Your best course of action is to contact the retailer -- where you bought it -- and ask about an exchange, or possibly adding a softer topper. We are mattress reviewers but we do not sell them. Most retailers have some kind of exchange policy!
Have you reviewed the new tempur cloud? Torn between that and the loom and leaf. 130 Sid sleeper and 170 back and side sleeper. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Hi Sean -- Thanks for your question. I'm afraid we have not done an in-depth review of the Tempur-Cloud, however we have reviewed the Loom & Leaf. In case you haven't already seen it, you can find our coverage of that mattress here: www.goodbed.com/reviews/loom-and-leaf-mattress-review/ Sorry I can't be of more help on this one.
Hi Mike, I am torn. I mistakenly got rid of a Cloud Supreme (due to size/space issues a year ago). I've tried the Luxe-Adapt series which I believe are actually too forgiving. This review makes me truly wonder what would be in your opinion, the most similar to a Cloud Supreme (I have found the Supreme model online at a discounted price given it's phased out....but have contemplated the Pro-Adapt Medium. The ProAdapt Soft just seems too soft under my hips (I'm a side sleeper). I'm leaning to the Medium, unless, you think I'd be better off buying the Cloud Supreme at the retailer I found it at, at a lovely discounted price. Thanks so much.
Honestly if you know that the Cloud Supreme works for you, then go for it. We've seen a lot of people getting good deals on that model now that it's been phased out.
Hi John. We do think you pay a premium for Tempur-Pedic -- however, that's not without reason. Their materials are of exceptionally high quality in our opinion. We hope it's the right mattress for you -- sleep well!
Hi Marcia. Any of them can suit your needs -- and keep in mind they all come in different softness levels too. Your best bet is to go through our Quiz -- answer some questions about your body type and sleep style -- and specify Tempur-Pedic -- then we can show you how your needs line up against their models/collections. You can start the quiz here: www.goodbed.com/mattress-finder/quiz/ Hope that's helpful!!
I am so torn between the Adapt Medium and ProAdapt Medium. I know the ProAdapt has the APR which is supposed to allow more pressure relief. I suffer with Fibromyalgia, a chronic pain condition, and find the Adapt Medium to be most comfortable. Yet I know that the APR may be better for my trigger and tender points. Shall I go with the mattress that is most comfortable or the one that sounds to be based on the materials?
Hi Andrea -- I'm so sorry we missed this question previously. In case it's still relevant for you, my input would be the following: 1) In terms of your "comfort" preference, the key difference in the feel of these two mattresses is that the ProAdapt has significantly more surface firmness to it. This type of firmness softens up as your body warms the mattress, and will also be less noticeable when the room temperature is warmer. 2) In terms of pressure relief, the ProAdapt is marginally better in this department, which is not a critical advantage for everyone, but could be a meaningful consideration for someone with fibromyalgia, especially if you sleep on your side much of the time. Net, if you prefer the softer feel of the Adapt Medium but want the pressure relieving benefit of the ProAdapt line, I might suggest looking at the ProAdapt Medium Hybrid. We found this one to have better pressure relief than the ProAdapt Medium (as well as the Adapt Medium), however its softer feel is more similar to the Adapt Medium (with the exception of it having a little bit of bounce, which you won't find on the Adapt Medium). I hope that's helpful.
Hi David -- Thanks for your question. Tempur-Pedic releases new beds most years, but doesn't revamp their entire line-up all at the same time. Rather, they will replace certain models (generally the older ones), and then the following year will update other models, etc. Each model they release tends to remain an active part of their line-up for 3-5 years. This is a bit longer than most traditional mattress brands, who tend to replace their mattresses on 2-3 year cycles. That said, it's also worth noting that the pandemic did interrupt the product introduction cycle for most mattress brands. I hope that's helpful.
Looking Into the pro adapt model but cant decide on the firm, medium, or medium hybrid. I'm a stomach sleeper mainly and rest my head on my arms, in my current bed I wake up with shoulder pains and arms asleep. Any guide on which feel is right for me?
Hi Trey -- Thanks for your question. In general, we don't tend to recommend a mattress with a lot of memory foam on top (such as a Tempur-Pedic) for a stomach sleeper, out of concern that your hips (which for everyone, are the heaviest part of your body) will sink too far into the mattress causing your back to over-arch. That being said, the problems you describe with shoulder pain and your arm falling asleep sound like pressure relief problems, for which memory foam is generally a very good solution. The shoulder pain also suggests that you might also be spending a fair bit of time on your side as well. On balance, I would lean toward the Firm, since that should provide good pressure relief while also minimizing the amount that your hips will sink into the mattress when on your stomach. I hope that's helpful.
Hello. Mattress selection is too personal for us to make any kind of across-the-board recommendation about a brand or mattress line (and in fact, ANY website that is telling you that such-and-such mattress is universally good for back pain is a FRAUD and just trying to sell you a mattress). Have you taken our Mattress Match quiz yet? We designed it for exactly this situation. Once you answer a few questions about your body type, sleeping style, and preferences, we can match up your needs against thousands of mattresses from both online and store brands. You'll get a "match score" for each mattress and specific notes about how a given mattress is likely to meet your needs, and it might turn up some models you haven't yet considered. You can start the quiz here: www.goodbed.com/mattress-finder/quiz/
I have scoliosis and my back pain has significantly increased since the pandemic started and the gyms closed. I've slept on a soft Tempurpedic cloud for almost ten years and I absolutely love it, however, I recently moved and am on the market for a new, firmer mattress to help with my back. I'm a hot sleeper as well. I only weight 150 pounds, but I'd like something firmer for my back. Would you recommend going with a firm or medium Tempurpedic mattress?
Hi Rich. Sorry to hear the back pain is flaring up -- it's so tough on everyone without our PT and normal exercise routines. As far as choosing a mattress specifically to alleviate your back pain, we believe it's a myth that a firm mattress is always better -- rather, it's about finding a bed that properly supports your back and lumbar area. A couple of thoughts -- have you thought about an adjustable base? These are more and more common, and can allow you adjust your position to alleviate pressure. We have a bunch of videos on various models so you can see them in action: th-cam.com/video/eIM6eyPFgB0/w-d-xo.html The majority of mainstream mattresses, including Tempur-Pedic mattresses, are compatible with adjustable bases. I'm also a little surprised, as a hot sleeper, that you have been doing well on a Tempur-Pedic, since there is so much memory foam and cushioning depth. For hot sleepers, we typically recommend a hybrid bed (with a pocketed spring support unit). Latex may also be something to consider for you -- latex offers superior pressure relief, yet you don't sink in as much as you do with memory foam. In any case, we'd recommend starting with our GoodBed Quiz. By answering some questions about your preferred sleep positions and health needs, we can match your requirements against our mattress database and give you a shortlist of beds that should come closest to meeting all your needs. You can find the quiz here: www.goodbed.com/mattress-finder/ I know this is more than you asked! If you are set on sticking with Tempur-Pedic, then you likely will want to look at something like the LuxeAdapt Firm. While certainly a firmer bed overall, we did find that conformance -- how closely the mattress conforms to your curves -- is very good. So that mattress might give you the firmer support you want while still reaching up into your lumbar and neck/shoulder areas while also providing the pressure relief of memory foam. Hope that helps!!
@@goodbed Wow that was such a thorough response. I really appreciate your time and consideration. You (guys) are great. I'm going in person this week to try out some mattresses because they're actually open! I really appreciate your time, information, and diligence. Thank you for your support! This was really helpful!
@@richrise6851 What mattress did you end up with? My girlfriend has scoliosis and we're trying to find that perfect mix between comfort and support to help her with pain relief.
Hi Adriana. Thanks for your question. We actually developed a proprietary mattress matching quiz to answer this type of question more exactly than we can here because it uses a more complete set of information about your requirements, and then filters through thousands of mattresses to highlight the ones that are most likely to match your needs. As it seems you may already know, mattresses are very personal -- and everyone has very specific needs, preferences, and priorities. Very generally, stomach sleepers need firmer support and less cushioning depth in the hip area to prevent the back from over-arching, but to what degree will depends on your size, weight, and other factors that the quiz takes into account. You can find the GoodBed Quiz here: www.goodbed.com/mattress-finder/ I hope you find it helpful in your search.
Hi -- thanks for the question, but that's a tough one. We don't have info on European/international versions. Tempur-pedic is known for its memory foam, so I imagine they are using some similar materials for their mattresses in other countries, but we can't know for sure. So I'm sorry -- we don't have specific comparison information for you.
I have nothing to say about the product(adapt/soft) except that I have 6 different kinds of fitted sheets, each time I replace my fitted sheet caused peelings.l don't know the cause, maybe the top cover?
Fabric pilling is usually caused by friction, so it's possible that the friction between your sheets and the mattress cover is causing it. You could alleviate this by using a mattress protector (which is a good idea anyway to protect your bed from stains).
My question is SUPER late but I’m hoping you can still answer it. I’ve been in mattress Hades! I started with a Tempurpedic LuxeAdapt Soft, and it was terrible on my lower back. Exchanged for an Icomfort Soft, still horrible, now I have a SF Hurston Firm, no lower back pain, but now upper back pain. I’m a combination side/stomach sleeper. A relative of mine has a Sealy Extra Firm Memory Foam, and I get the BEST sleep when visiting, but they don’t make that mattress anymore. I’m now considering another Tempurpedic but either the Medium Pro Adapt or Firm Luxe Adapt. Any suggestions? I just want to get a good nights rest. Also for reference I’m 5’9 and 137 lbs.
Hi there -- Thanks for your question. Yes, the side / stomach combination is one of the hardest to balance because your needs in these two sleep positions are directly at odds with one another. On the LuxeAdapt Soft and iComfort Soft, you were getting good spinal alignment on your side but too much sinkage in your midsection when on your stomach -- this causes your back to overarch, leading to lower back pain. On the Hurston Firm, you were getting good support on your stomach but not enough conformance on your side to allow your shoulders to sink into the mattress -- this can cause upper back pain due to the curvature in your upper spine. What you need is a mattress that offers more conformance than it does sinkage. This can be hard to find since the way most mattresses are designed, these two characteristics go hand in hand -- meaning, as you get more conformance, you also get more sinkage, and vice versa. This is the case with both the LuxeAdapt Firm and the ProAdapt Medium. That said, there are some mattresses that are better at offering more of one of these than the other. Here are some examples that I'd recommend you look at, along with links to our in-depth reviews of these mattresses: * Purple Original: www.goodbed.com/reviews/purple-mattress-review/ (note: if you have a partner who weighs 200 lbs or more, know that this one will not be as good for stomach sleeping as the Purple Hybrid below) * Purple Hybrid (2"): www.goodbed.com/reviews/purple-4-mattress-review/ * Casper Original: www.goodbed.com/reviews/casper-mattress-review/ * Brooklyn Aurora Firm: www.goodbed.com/reviews/brooklyn-aurora-mattress-review/ * Brooklyn Signature: www.goodbed.com/reviews/brooklyn-signature-mattress-review/ I hope that's helpful for you!

Hey! im getting ready to get a tempur pedic pro adapt what do u suggest for me I sleep on my stomach and the bed I have now (NON-TEMPUR) makes my back arc and gives me pain as I sleep and when I wake which tempur do u prefer and how soft or hard do u suggest?
Hi Aaron. Thanks for the question. If you check out our written page on the ProAdapt, you'll see our take on each bed's firmness level -- note that what the company says is 'medium' or 'soft' doesn't always align with what we'd call soft or medium. Without knowing any more about you other than that you are a stomach sleeper, we would typically recommend going for a firm or extra firm mattress. So in the Tempur ProAdapt line, that would be the ProAdapt Medium (which we found to be more of a firm) or the Firm (which we found to be more of an extra firm). Here's our page on the ProAdapt, which includes that info and more: www.goodbed.com/reviews/tempur-proadapt-mattress-preview/
I have been to RTG and liked the Adapt Hybrid Medium a lot, and want to combine it with the fully adjustable base, head and leg end up, in a King split level combination. Does GoodBed sell those bases?
Hi Milli -- Thanks for your question. GoodBed doesn't actually sell anything ourselves. Rather, our role is to help you search across brands and stores to make the best possible purchase for you. If you then purchase using the links and/or discounts provided on GoodBed.com or in the descriptions of our TH-cam videos, we make a small fee from the retailer at no cost to you. Regarding adjustable bases, we have provided detailed overviews of most of the the most popular adjustable bases. You can find those on our TH-cam channel here: th-cam.com/video/eIM6eyPFgB0/w-d-xo.html Most of the options we covered can be purchased online. They can be ordered through the links that we provide in the description of each video. I hope that's helpful.
did you find that although the proadapt medium was firmer than the adapt medium, that you still sank further into it? possibly due to it having more layers...that was my issue with the proadapt medium
Hi Alex -- Thanks for your question. Yeah, that might be the case. This could be a god illustration of why we consider cushioning depth and softness to be two separate characteristics.
It’s really to the point where I like the video before I even watch it. I already know the video is going to be informative and great all around quality. Thanks for the video. Great job as usual!
Ha, thanks +qteezy6501! 😊 My pleasure -- I'm very glad it was helpful, and we really appreciate your kind words and support. Liking the videos really does help other consumers find them!
@@goodbed hi. Do you suggest this mattress over the sealy hybrid plus high point firm? Looking for a mattress to accommodate back and neck pain from double scoliosis. Thanks.
@@diamondw2050 From a feel standpoint, you'll find the High Point Firm to be pretty similar to either the Adapt Medium Hybrid or the ProAdapt Medium Hybrid in terms of softness, memory feel, and bounce, but the Tempur options will tend to have a bit deeper cushioning (more of that hugged or cradled sensation).
In terms of accommodating back and neck pain related to scoliosis, each person's curvature is going to be unique. As such, choosing a mattress that works for you is going to be a very individual thing that is more about fitting you to a mattress than it is about any universal characteristics of that mattress. So I'm afraid I can't be of much help there.
I hope that's helpful.
I just bought the pro adapt soft and I absolutely love it
neil farr hey! Do you sleep on your back or side? Do you feel like the mattress sinks you in too badly? Sorry, I'm in the market. Haha
It is not hot ??
Neil…The regular model or the hybrid model?
Just ordered mine. Can't wait now after seeing this great review
I hope you love it!!
Just got my pro-adapt soft today. Laying on it as we speak
@@mauricioalejandro74 how is it do you think firm is better?
@@tonitone1160 it’s been about 3 weeks and love it. It’s getting a little softer as time goes on
@@mauricioalejandro74 I'm going with firm since the soft is going to get to soft eventually
Keep in mind the regular medium and the medium hybrid feel completely different. My guy messed up and sent me the regular medium and it was definitely medium-firm to firm. The hybrid is amazing. Recommended.
Hi Tyler -- that's a great point, which we also make in the video. The difference in bounce is very stark for sure. Very glad you are happy with the hybrid! It's certainly a popular collection that a lot of people really seem to like.
@@goodbed I have found that I’m sleeping a bit hot in the hybrid. It is very comfortable so this is rather unfortunate. Not sure if this means I have to get away from memory foam? Do you have suggestions?
Great info! Thanks so much! Off to buy the ProAdapt.
I always learn so much from your videos
Thanks Anthony -- it's good to hear that! I appreciate you taking the time to share these kind words!
Thank you! Very good info. We bought proadapt medium 4 weeks ago and its too firm. I will now look at the hybrid based on your video. Thank you!
Great comparison! Now I know exactly which mattress to get!

I 100% agree with your softness scale for how each mattress felt. I just recently revisited this line and couldn’t agree more with your assessment.
Hi Brianna -- thanks for the comment and glad you agree! We try very hard to make it as consistent as possible -- very difficult, but important since one company's "medium" is another brand's "firm"
Thanks again!
Just ordered one (proAdapt medium hybrid) based on this video.
Hope you love it!
GoodBed it got delivered 30 min ago and my first thought was that it was too firm. Then it started to envelop me. As everyone has said, it will soften in the first 30 days or so and I’m thinking that then it will be perfect. Will report back in a month. Thanks again for this video.
First night of sleep on the mattress and HOLY COW!!! Didn’t move all night. No stiffness. No arm falling asleep! Wow.
Loving the mattress. 30 days or so with it now and I’m super happy with it.
Thomas D'Acquisto what was the price of the mattress? From where you brought ?
Excellent review, getting the proAdapt hybrid for Christmas!!
Sounds good -- I'm very glad this video was helpful in finding the right mattress for you!
How did that mattress work out for you?
Thanks for the excellent video. I have narrowed down my selection to two choices- Tempurpedic ProAdapt Soft or the Stearns and Foster Pollock Soft. I am an average weight side sleeper. I have Fibromyalgia and hip pain. I also have terrible insomnia. I also occasionally wake up with lower back pain from sleeping in the wrong position on a very old Serta traditional coil mattress. The S&F Pollock Plush felt great immediately as soon as I laid down. I could have probably went to sleep in the store. That is rare for me-- but that does not mean it would do my body good after 8 hours. The Tempurpedic ProAdapt soft felt odd because I am just not used to laying on a memory foam mattress. I don't feel pressure points, but it feels kind of stiff and not as comfy. I kind of felt like my legs were floating up from the firmness. These are the only two in the store I liked at all, so i would like to pick one of them. I have heard some reviews about the longevity of S&F with sagging. Its hard to find Tempurpedic reviews that are not from their site. Do you have an opinion of which one would be best for me? I love the immediate comfort of the S&F, but i am concerned about my Fibro, hip pain, and the pressure points. What do you think?
We have this mattress and would not recommend if you have hip pain.
Meant Tempur Pedic . Not aware of S&F.
Tempurpedic sucks if you have back pain
Great review and one of the first real reviews on the adapt series. Nice job. Funny I just had a pro-adapt soft delivered this morning to replace the proadapt medium hybrid. We'll see, we are both light weight and it seems very adapting so hoping it works. Edit: The pro-adapt medium hybrid was very nice however a slight bit firm for a shoulder issue and we had an issue with the coils being loud (you could hear a pop) Tempur-pedic said it was likely a defect.
Thanks +A.M B -- I'm very glad this video was helpful for you! FYI, once you've had your ProAdapt Soft for a while, it would be awesome if you could share your own personal experience with it as a review on GoodBed, where people who are shopping for a mattress and looking for unbiased information will find it most easily.

Hi, I agree this was a good review on the new line. I have the Pro Adapt Med and I am having the same issue on my shoulders. Ive only had it for 11 nights but I can tell that I don't see it getting any better on the pressure on my shoulders. It is great on my back only if I sleep on my back all night but I sleep 75% on side and 25% on back. I weigh 155 athletic slender built and I was recommended the Pro adapt medium by the manufacturer but I feel it may be too firm for a side sleeper of my weight. Can you please let me know how the soft works out in a week or so. Thanks because after the 30 days Im switching this one out for a softer model.
Hi Isaac -- Thanks for your comment. FYI, if you're willing to share your experience with the ProAdapt Medium, that would be very helpful to other consumers as well -- you can do that here:
www.goodbed.com/review-mattress/model/tempur-pedic-medium-1/
Isaac g do you have the pro adapt medium or medium hybrid? The Medium hybrid is a little softer, as it has the ES material lower density. Medium has higher density. The soft may be too soft actually, only a few nights but so far the hybrid may have felt better.
A.M B I have the pro-adapt medium. Sleeping in side it does trigger some pressure on my shoulders, sleeping on my back it feels very supportive, I just wish my upper back could sink in just a little more but the lumbar support while sleeping on back is good.
I've made the mistake of buying a $3,000 tempurpedic mattress. The first week of sleeping on the mattress i suffered from lower back pain & sciatica. My back can't take anymore pain from this temperpedic nightmare. I just ordered a beautyrest bed. I'll try to return the temperpedic. Hopefully they take it back.
Sorry to hear this, Johnny. Did you take our quiz to find out which mattresses are most likely to fit your needs? We believe it's the best way to hone in on a model that's going to support you and meet your comfort preferences. We hope the BR mattress works out better for you -- you can take our quiz and see what match score the bed you ordered gives you.

Omg he’s actually sitting on the bed & feeling it 😵
My sister bought me a mattress. I thought it was just a regular one. But apparently, it was a tempur pedic adapt medium. So excited to sleep on it soon!
Hi, how are you liking the medium?
@@PatriotSteve good! But the free pillows hurt our necks. So, we just stick to our old soft one. They’re designed weird for us.
Damn wish I watched this first the guy on the Tempur-Pedic hotline did not explain the beds like this.
Thanks Rachel. I'm sorry to hear that you didn't get such a good explanation from Tempur. In their defense, I don't think any company can explain their products as clearly as we can -- it's simply too easy for a manufacturer to get tied up in their own marketing lingo and sales message, whereas we cut all that out and explain things in plain English for our readers. Likewise, no manufacturer would ever want to say anything about their products that might dissuade even a single customer from buying that product. By contrast, we are able to highlight the distinct characteristics of any given product in an objective manner that clearly illustrates how it could be a great match for one person but less of a match for another, based on an evaluation framework that we can apply consistently across all different brands.
Although it seems that every website has an opinion about mattresses these days, GoodBed is the only objective source of mattress information that is based on this caliber of depth and expertise. So as a result, we would certainly recommend against buying any mattress without first reading our take on it to know what you're really getting.
I hope that's helpful.
Hi - thanks again for your reviews and answering my questions. Very brief update for those who may be interested
. I bought a Medium Cocoon chill. Too firm and too bouncy for me. Maybe because I’m lightweight 102 lb, but I don’t even sink in. I’ll be looking at TempurPedic again..... ugh.....open wallet, money flying away .....
Good luck, Lauren. Your story really illustrates why a mattress that's perfect for one person might not be right for another. Those on the lighter side will definitely experience more firmness from a given mattress that someone that's 50 or 75 pounds heavier. Let us know what you end up with!
Super vidéo 👌 des matelas exceptionnels 😀
Gracias por tu mensaje! 😊
I was choosing between the Pro Adapt medium and the Sleep number bed. Due to my parents and two brothers and their wives all swearing by the Sleep number bed, I went with the Sleep Number P6 which has 11" of a top layer. However after ordering it and seeing videos of basically a air mattress and foam on top, I wish I spent a little more time thinking about the Tempur Pedic bed. However on the one bed I tried it was like laying on sand on the beach where you sink it and its a little hard to move around on. Thankfully the new beds have a layer to help with heat which should make it more comfortable. After having the air mattress for 30 days, if it does not work, I will be going for this bed.
Hi Keef. Thanks for the comment. The Tempur-pedic beds all have memory foam -- that 'sand' feeling you're talking about -- but some have less of it than others. Good luck with the Sleep Number. We haven't reviewed it, but we did just post a review of the similar Saatva Solaire: th-cam.com/video/vou4NO-7emQ/w-d-xo.html
I left this comment in another one of your videos.
I had the Adapt Medium Hybrid and the coils made a popping noise. A month ago I got the ProAdapt Medium Hybrid and the coils have made a popping noise from day one and it’s getting worse, and it’s loud. Sometimes you can get out of bed and still hear coils popping up, delayed reaction.
I don’t know if it’s normal, but if you search individual pocketed coil noise/popping, it says the coils are failing, or the mattress is old and it’s time to buy a new mattress. My ProAdapt Medium Hybrid was made on 11/17/22 so it’s not old at all. Purchased from Tempur-Pedic and it’s been the most comfortable and best Tempur-Pedic out of the 5 different ones I’ve had in 3 years time, finally found the right mattress. I just don’t want to keep it if it’s broken, especially for the price.
Is Tempur-Pedic coil popping noise normal?
Thank you!
Hi there -- Thanks for your question. No, your mattress should not be making a loud sound when you get up. So this is definitely not normal. I'd recommend taking some video that captures this and getting this replaced. I hope that's helpful.
@@goodbed Thank you very much!
It almost sounds like popcorn when you move around. I’m guessing the springs somehow are sticking and then popping up and hitting the foam.
I really appreciate it. 👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks Lee -- I appreciate you letting us know it was helpful for you!
Purchased the Proadapt medium about 30 days ago. I'm still finding it quite firm even after the break in period. I am a side sleeper. I don't like the sink in feeling to much but I find this mattress quite firm. I understand it's great for my back and alignment but I'm struggling with true comfort. What would you recommend, I have 60 more days or so to exchange. The medium hybrid or the soft or something entirely different. I tried them both in store. Soft feels amazing at first but I'm worried about sinking in and not having proper alignment. I'm 6 3 210.
Loved this video and enjoyed reading all of the comments.
Hi Mike -- Thanks for your comment and kind words. I'm very glad the video was helpful for you -- just wish you'd have found it before you made your purchase! Seems like it would have saved you a lot of hassle and discomfort.
Re: other options, you mentioned "exchange," which I take it means you need to find another option at that specific store. That makes it hard for me to offer any concrete ideas other than within this same line. That said, I do think the Medium Hybrid or Soft could still be a good option for you. We classify the Medium Hybrid as a Medium and the Soft as a Medium-Soft -- at your size, I wouldn't rule out either of those from an alignment standpoint -- unless you sleep a lot on your stomach. If you're primarily a side sleeper, I think the Soft could be OK, though I do think you're going to get a fair bit of that "sinking in" feel, which you mentioned that you don't like too much. Net, the Medium Hybrid seems like it could be the best compromise between the various considerations in your case.
I hope that helps.
we went for the med hybrid will let you know how that goes. I too am I side sleeper. I would have gone with the soft hybrid but not firm enough for my hubby so we did the medium. Will let you know how the break-in period goes.
@Ryan B So far so good. for me I wouldn't go any firmer.
Temper products, since the last breeze collection, don’t really seem to have a break in period. I noticed some softening many years in but not originally. I’m hoping for the same from this line. Buy what feels good and use the 90 day trial!
Mike Delgaty what did you ended up getting? We’re in the same boat..got the ProAdapt medium but find it more firm than we would like.
Great explanation!

The internet needs more detail on Adapt medium hybrid vs pro adapt medium hybrid!
Ask and ye shall receive! :) www.goodbed.com/compare/?mod=tempur-adapt-medium-hybrid&mod=tempur-proadapt-medium-hybrid
I have studied lots of videos and tried various mattresses over the last two years and still struggled with pain in lower back or hips. Am 69, 5'7" and weight usually ranges between 150-155. Am fairly active. Finally I decided to splurge on the Tempurpedic Pro-Adapt Soft version, because I am a side sleeper and thought pressure relieve would be good. The first couple weeks, I thought it was great. I didn't mind the sinking in feeling, because it was just so darn comfortable. No pain on shoulders, back, or hips, and though it did sleep a bit hot, I didn't mind because it was the first mattress not needing a topper. Then, I began thinking perhaps it was a tad too soft, because I felt some discomfort in lower back that seemed alleviated if I slipped a rolled up towel under lower back. So I was conflicted about whether to exchange it, since you only get one exchange.
I decided after two months to exchange for the medium hybrid, which I got about a week ago. So far it seems pretty good, though I do notice a small amount of hip pain, though nor a game changer for overall satisfaction. I really think the soft was a little too soft for me. Is the Medium Hybrid likely to soften up any?
Hi Mary Lou. I hope you're doing well with the Medium Hybrid -- let us know.
Over time, yes -- all mattresses are going to soften to some degree. It's something that happens gradually over time, so you aren't likely to notice it overnight -- rather over months or years.
@@goodbed Thanks for response. I ended up buying the newest Tempurpedic topper, which has 3 inches of their best foam, so it seems to have helped. I might remove it and see if I can do without the topper. Maybe the mattress will soften so I don't need the topper.
I just tested out this pro adapt medium and the sleep number i8. They were both amazing (and pricey) but I’m absolutely investing in this bed. Which one do you think is better? It’s just me. @goodbed
Thanks for the awesome video!
Glad you liked it!
I bought the ProAdapt Hybrid, and I've been airing it out for 2 weeks, but the strong chemical smell is TERRIBLE! If I put the mattress in my bedroom, I start coughing. When does the smell go away? Watch out for this...seems like not many people comment on it.
Hi Ash -- thanks for the comment. Sorry to hear that. In our experience, nearly all mattresses have some kind of new-mattress odor. Typically, most of it dissipates in a couple of days, with some lingering odor lasting a week or two. However, some people are a lot more sensitive to that odor than others (our tester Mike is not particularly bothered by it). If you can put the mattress in a garage or other well-ventilated space, that may help accelerate the process.
A couple of home remedies we have heard of: Vacuum it. Vacuuming may help suck out the trapped air (and odors). Another: with a sheet on top of the mattress (to avoid soil or damage), sprinkle baking soda all over the sheet. This works in the same way that sprinkling baking soda in your shoes can help eliminate odors. Leave the baking soda there for a couple of days, then fold up the sheet and dispose of the baking soda.
Hope those suggestions help -- the smell should definitely dissipate, but it's true that some are worse than others.
Got the medium pro adapt , it’s terrible. The bed just sinks even when it new, it gave me the worst back pain. I’m 27, petite.
Hi there -- Thanks for your comment. Sorry to hear you've been disappointed with your purchase. It sounds like this model is not a good fit for your body from a spinal alignment standpoint.

Thank you again for sharing your experience.
this is the best pro adapt review i have seen so far thank you :) im a side sleeper looking for the best pressure relief i can get in the hip area ... would you recommend the pro adapt soft? Im not interested in the hybrids.
Hi Coleen -- Thanks for your question (and your kind words!). Pressure relief is certainly an area where Tempur-Pedic mattresses tend to excel, and the ProAdapt Soft would be no exception to that. That said, there are other mattresses that also offer very good pressure relief, and pressure relief is just one factor (out of a dozen or more) that we consider when recommending a specific mattress to someone, so while it certainly sounds promising, I can't say for sure whether the ProAdapt Soft would be my top pick in your case.
If you haven't already done so, and want to see mattresses that best match your full set of criteria, the best starting point is to take the match quiz on our website, which you can find here: www.goodbed.com/mattress-finder/
I hope that's helpful.
@@goodbed what would your recommendations be?
@@coleenosmond3035 -- My point in recommending the quiz was that in order to make an informed recommendation that considers the various other criteria that are important for you, I first need more information about you. Getting that information quickly and easily -- and then using an intelligent matching algorithm to search across many hundreds of options to find your best matches -- is what our quiz does much better than I (or any human) can do. That said, if you want a human read on your results, feel free to come back here after taking the quiz and paste a link to your results page -- I'm happy to provide my human input.
As an aside, be aware that anyone else who positions themselves as a mattress expert and DOES give you a generic list of the "best" or "recommended" mattresses is either a) not an expert at all or b) simply a salesperson in disguise. Or both. Either way, they're a scammer, so be careful. There are literally dozens of scammer mattress review sites out there today that are full of misleading information, many of which are secretly backed by mattress companies. The two things that give most of them away are "best" lists and "overall" ratings for a given mattress. If you see an "unbiased" website that has one or both of those, run from it at top speed....
I hope that's helpful.

Great review, really helps a lot. I am from Canada, and some store has Tempur-Pedic ProAlign and Align series, they told me it's totaly same with Adapt series, just a different name with lower price. However, I can't find a single review of the Align series, can you please explain a little bit?
Hi and thanks for the comment. We aren't up on Canadian versions -- but if the salesperson told you that the Align/ProAlign are the Canadian versions of the Adapt/ProAdapt, then what we say about those models in our video should apply. The lower price could easily be down to customs/tax differences since countries have different import/export policies for materials.
Got an adapt medium hybrid and on the trial phase (less than 30 days) I'm finding it too soft. I'm sinking a bit, especially the hips area. Should I go with an adapt medium (non hybrid) or a firm? As a side sleeper I'm a tad scared to go straight to a firm, but do think it maybe what Im looking for.
Hi there -- If the Adapt Medium Hybrid is noticeably too soft for you, I don't think you'd find significant enough difference in the Adapt Medium (non-hybrid) to justify the change. And AFAIK there is no Firm in the Adapt line-up. So assuming you like the rest of what the Tempur product line has to offer, you may want to consider the ProAdapt Firm.
I hope that's helpful.
@@goodbed Thanks, It was helpful. Ill either have to fork $900+ to go pro adapt firm or switch brands. I like the tempur feel, Ive used the same tempur pillow for over 2 decades! It's just that my lower back is sinking around 3" lower than my torso, and it doesn't like it as I wake up stiff with some discomfort (wouldn't call it pain on most days).
@@Shadow__133 what did you end up doing?
Did you go with the Pro Adapt firm?
@@akaredcrossbow I did. Much better with the pro adapt firm after I added a thin (2") soft "gel" mattress pad to the top.
No back aches, it's firm and the pad adds a little comfort.
One problem I'm having now, because it is firmer, my shoulders won't "sink" in to the matters as much and my 15-20 yr old pillow feels now a bit too low. I tried 8 different pillows, including a cube aberration and none come close to the original Tempur memory foam pillow I have. You'd imagine tech would improve over the years, but it's clearly not the case.
One problem someone may have with this combo (mattress + topper/pad) is it will be very thick. My linen stretches quite a bit, so I had no issues, but the bedjet air heater (for instance) won't even reach the too of the mattress (so it's useless).
@@Shadow__133 Thank you for the reply. I’ve been suffering with the Luxeadapt soft. Hips, shoulders and sciatic issues. I moved to the much firmer couch for a much better night sleep, but the couch is starting to sag in the middle. I just tried out the the Proadapt firm and the Proadapt medium at a mattress firm. The medium was too soft and the firm felt just right. The bed store has hundreds of people laying down on these beds so they become softer, broken in. So I feel that the firm will be the perfect bed for me over time. Unfortunately 100-120 nights is not enough to test a bed. My Luxeadapt started hurting me just a little over 4 months (120 nights plus) so I couldn’t return it. I’m willing to bet most people that buy a new bed love it until 5 months later and have to deal with it.
Nice Omega 🙂
We bought the Pro Adapt medium, King. We've had it 4 months. I'm 6'2", 205 lbs. and a side sleeper. The bed feels great when I first get in but after a couple hours my lower back on the mattress side begins to ache. I switch to my other side and the same occurs. I roll on to my back and begin to ache in the lower middle. We have a year to make a one time exchange. My wife thinks we could add a 2" or 3" gel or memory foam topper to fix the problem. I think a $3,000 bed should be comfortable as is. What would you suggest? Thank you for an excellent video and your opinion will be much appreciated.
Absolutely, maybe you could try the firm???
Sam Smith , thank you for your reply. The salesman told us the firm would not be good for side sleeping.
Hey, was wondering what, if anything, ended up helping?? We bought the Medium a month ago and I'm experiencing exactly the same thing with my sides aching and then mid-back aching when I'm on my back. I want so badly to love it because it feels so comfortable when I get in and because my husband absolutely loves it and now has zero back pain.
I heard a reviewer say that the medium hybrid pro adapt would be like sleeping on a traditional inner spring mattress. That is not what I'm looking for ever! I have memory foam now and I'm buying a house I want a new bed for myself and to use the memory foam as a guest bed. I have serious issues with pain and nobody can tell me what to do. I took a bed quiz at another place and it came up with the big fig whatever the hell that is!
Watching this now since I just bought a pro adapt medium with an adjustable base tonight lolol.... I hope I will like it, final price was $3500 for both.
We hope you're happy with it!!
Is that American $$
Good afternoon. We are currently trying to decide between the "Adapt" and "Pro Adapt" series. The medium hybrid's are our favorites. Other than the extra expense, what would be the sale point between the two. We want this to be out last mattress for a very long time. I don't want to make a mistake. Thank you so much for this review BTW. You are really helping a lot of people.
Hi Davis -- Thanks for your question. Did you see the section of the video where we describe the 3 key features that are added when you step up to ProAdapt? It starts at the 5:27 mark. I hope that provides a clear answer for you.
Excellent review! Would you recommend the regular Tempur-Pedic Adapt Medium to side sleepers? Thank you!
Hi there -- Thanks for your question, and your kind words. I wouldn't categorically recommend any given mattress to all side sleepers, since there are many other factors besides sleep position that greatly impact what mattress is best for someone. That said, I certainly wouldn't rule out the Adapt Medium for side sleepers, as its conforming and pressure relieving capabilities would be a good match for a solid portion of them.
To help you narrow the universe of mattress options to the ones that best meet all of your needs and preferences, I'd recommend taking our mattress matching quiz which gathers all the relevant inputs to consider and then searches across brands and stores to show you options that best match your requirements. If you haven't already taken it, you can find that quiz here:

On 10-21-23 Tempur recommended the ProBreeze Hybrid and now that we have the matress it is not close to being a match for our existing Tempur-Flex Hybrid Elite. On 1-4-24 Tempur now is saying the ProAdapt Med Hybrid is the direct replacement for the Tempur-Flex Hybrid Elite model. We are seeking to get a King Tempur-Pedic that matches our existing Tempur-Flex Hybrid Elite and wondering if anyone has done the same and their experiences. Thanks for the overview.
Good questions. So we'd generally agree with Tempur's second response on 1/4/24. Relative to the Flex Hybrid Elite, the ProAdapt Medium Hybrid probably is the closest match. However, it is still likely to feel pretty different (and probably slightly firmer than the Flex Hybrid) due to changes that Tempur has made to its hybrids made during that period, and differences in the foam that was used in the Flex models (some of which was faster-responding and is no longer used anywhere in the Tempur line-up).
Both the Adapt and ProAdapt should be softer than the ProBreeze though, which we think tends to feel a bit firm. You might also try the Adapt Hybrid as well.
I hope that's helpful.
Not sure anyone is still following this thread, but I'm trying to choose between the Cloud Supreme, a discontinued model that is available at Costco ($1749 for queen), versus the Pro Adapt (probably medium -- which is around $3200 for queen after discounts). Is the Pro Adapt worth the extra money in your view or are they pretty comparable?
I bought the Firm model and it’s like sleeping on the floor... I don’t know if it’s because it’s brand new or the temp in my room but I wake up with a a sore lower back.
Georgie Give it about a month for the mattress to adjust. At first your mattress will be much more firm then it was when you first laid on a floor model.
Feel like Temperpedic is only good if u aren’t a combo sleeper or are underweight. A have 5lb density memory foam and I’m happy with it.
Hi Mike. I love your video reviews on the Tempurpedic lines, however, I am having trouble finding a review on their line called Tempur Original 21 cm or 25 cm, which is sold in Italy. I would love it if you could do a review on how these models are or tell me of which Tempur-Pedic series they are comparable to that are sold in the U.S.A. Thank you for your wonderful, informative, and well explained product reviews!
Hi Paj. Oof -- that's a tough one. We don't have info on European versions. Tempur-pedic is known for its memory foam, so I imagine they are using some similar materials for their European mattresses. But I'm sorry -- we don't have specific comparison information for you.
Are you in Italy or the US?
Hello, I am replacing an older gen Deluxe. What would be the equivalent to today’s tempurpedic line?
Nice review. Considering the more medium feel for the hybrid, would you recommend that for a normal weight combo side and back sleeper - or is the medium non-hybrid a better play? Also, is there any longer term temp difference with the hybrid given that it’s more breathable?
I would definitely recommend it for side sleepers, I'm not sure about back. And depending on your weight the hybrid will definitely be a cooler temp than the the regular.
Great review. In Canada, Costco sells flex Version. What are your thoughts please?
I have the pro adapt hybrid and I think maybe I should have gotten this soft because this matches feels so firm to me I sleep on my stomach and on my side so that’s why I went with a hybrid but it just feels so firm
Hi Kelly. Check with your retailer and see if you can exchange for a softer version. Many times you can, but it depends on the store. Good luck!
Just what I've been waiting for. Excellent review. I am still waiting for my Adapt medium hybrid to be delivered. They bumped it up to next Friday now. UUGGGHH!!!. After your review, I think I made the right choice. I needed a little softer feel since I am a side sleeper and the adapt medium all foam just felt a bit to firm. My back was hurting when I went to try one out and when I laid on the hybrid I just felt this instant relief and comfort. I'm done with all full spring mattresses and looking forward to less movement when I dogs jump on and off the bed. Also, I didn't know the cover was removable, they never mentioned that in the store either. Thx for the info. Do you think a separate mattress pad will take away from the coolness of the mattress cover?
Hi Jen -- Thanks for your question, and kind words -- I'm very glad this review was helpful for you! RE: the cover, it is actually only removable on the ProAdapt, not the Adapt, so that could be why it wasn't mentioned to you in the store. RE: a mattress pad, yes that will take away from the coolness of the cover -- the coolness in this case is a coolness "to the touch," so you won't feel that through a piece of foam. I feel pretty confident that you'd still feel it through a sheet but TBH I don't know to what degree you'll feel it through a sheet and mattress protector. Will be curious to hear your experience on this once you get it!
Ok, didn't catch it was only available on the pro series, no problem. I'll let you know how it works with a mattress pad. I got the purple mattress pad that is thinner and supposed to keep your mattress cool along with their sheets. Seemed to have gotten rave reviews, but we shall see. Thx again, :-)
Thanks Jen -- sounds good!
@Ryan B Personally, i didn't care for it. The first few weeks were great, then after 2 months i started waking up to back aches. It also bothered me every time i first sat on the bed, or turn abruptly I could feel the coils underneath. Just seemed like the mattress itself was too thin. I got rid of it and now i'm waiting on my purple 4 to be delivered. I think it might be a better fit for me.
Jen Marie
Oh my God please let me know because I have the medium hybrid and I find it too firm, and I wake up super sore. I’m considering purple 4. Let me know what you think!!!
I got this mattress a month ago and I got vertigo the first two nights I slept on it which no one could explain why that would happen. I woke up with vertigo and I've never had it in my life but it went away and I slept longer than I slept in years. But the last week I've been having worse back pain low back pain I've ever had in my life. Can it be from this bed? I don't understand because I've been sleeping on a sagging couch for 3 years and I've never had back issues. So why now with the almost $4,000 mattress am I having low back pain all the time? And what would be a better option? It's not fair that we only get to exchange it one time
Hi KB -- Contrary to popular misunderstanding (which is sadly, propogated by most other mattress review sites), back pain is not solved by having a better mattress -- it is solved by having a better mattress for YOU. This means that regardless of the mattress having great materials, high workmanship quality, or a large price tag, the key thing that will reduce back pain is simply the degree to which it holds your spine in proper neutral alignment while you sleep. No mattress can do this well for everyone, just the same as no pair of pants will be a good fit for everyone. Its ability to do this will depend on how well the support characteristics of that mattress match up with your weight, body shape, and preferred sleep position(s).
In your case, you mention that you were not having pain on the sagging couch but you are having back pain with this mattress. There are two possible explanations here.
1) This a sign that your body really needs a LOT of conformance (eg, if you're. heavier and/or curvier side sleeper), and the soft sagging couch was just the ticket, so what you need is a mattress that replicates this.
2) After having slept on that sagging couch for 3 years, your body became used to this and even started to adapt to it. This type of thing can take some time (weeks at least, if not months) to undo. So you may find that until your body readjusts to being properly supported, it won't like being held in that position.
Sorry I can't be more definitive here but I hope that's at least somewhat helpful nonetheless.
@@goodbed thanks but how come this tempurpedic the pro adapt firm the hardest one they have? I think It's already in some spots. If I push in it goes in a lot. When a few weeks ago it was barely able to put it indentation in it. Now that there's several spots. If I push in it goes in and it's way lower than the other side already. And like I said I'm 260 lb. I'm not like I'm 400 lb or something and I've only had it for a month
Soft spots lots of them
@@krisinua I'm not sure I can answer that without seeing the bed. The only thing I can think of is:
1) with firm memory foam like in that model, it matters quite a bit how fast you try to push in -- pushing in fast will meet with a lot of initial resistance but pushing in a little slower will meet with less resistance. Eventually you'll be able to push in pretty far either way though, because there's a lot of conformance.
2) with memory foam, the temp of the foam has a huge effect on its softness. Room temp from new to now should feel fairly similar. But when the foam has been warmed by your body, it will definitely be much softer, even when brand new -- as we say in software development, that's a feature not a bug.
I hope that's helpful.
Thanks for the great review. I'm from Canada and I do see ProAlign instead of ProAdapt. Would you know what are the differences?
Have same question dec, 2023. Found one reddit review saying only difference is cover. Marketing thing and is only in Canadianselect stores. So for about 1k less than pro-adapt , i went with Pro-Align medium kingsize. Loved pro-adapt medium feel at sleep country canada and crossing my fingers
Question. I’m paralyzed I have a hospital bed with a loud air mattress. Is there a mistress gel cooled to take the place of my hillrom beds mattress and pump? The bed frame is electric it sits up and down and goes up and down also. Will this work for me???
So it sounds like you’re looking for a mattress that keep you cool at night correct? You should look into their flagship bed that’s around $4,000 (expensive yes I know, but you spend a 1/3 of your life sleeping and getting deep sleep plays a major role in your life) most of their beds will do a great job at keeping you cool anyhow, hope you find the right bed for you man!
I’m having queen Contour Elite right now and really like it, now I want to buy the king size of that for my master bedroom. Can you saw me what’s mattress look like ?
Hi Thao. Here's a photo of that mattress:
www.goodbed.com/media/pictures/mattresses/tempur-pedic/tempur-contour-elite-picture.jpg
After purchasing a TempurPedic mattress myself wasn't long before I grew to hate it it seems to trap in heat I wake up hot all the time
Hi Trey. Yes, this is a common complaint about memory foam -- it's not so much that the bed is actively 'trapping' heat -- but that you are sinking in more, and without springs or some method of air flow, there's just not as much circulation of air as there typically is with a hybrid or innerspring bed. If you do like the feel of memory foam, a hybrid mattress -- with a spring support core -- is usually a better choice than an all-foam mattress in terms of heat management.
Try drinking more water. Sometimes when your really hydrated you feel a lot cooler
Just ordered Pro Adapt Soft in a King.
Great! Good luck and we hope it serves you well. We would love to invite you to add a review on GoodBed for the ProAdapt, where people who are shopping for a mattress and looking for unbiased information will find it most easily.

@Michael Forbes same here . We have the king pro adapt soft and are wondering if it's going to break in or not. We woke up sore ,bed seems firm, and are considering the luxe adapt in soft . Thoughts ?
@@mikemcbeehtx how’s the bed after 2 years? I have a pro adapt Medium hybrid and it’s way to firm for me , and was looking into getting the soft as an exchange.
@@danielvazquez3740 the pro adapt soft is good but not great. I'd say after 1 month we were wishing we had gotten the breeze model. It sleeps very hot and we currently have a open cell foam topper on it that cooled it off a little. We've had that topper on there for atleast 18 months without it we would've sold it , it was that hot . Next we will try the luxe breeze soft . Alot to pay for this one and need a topper. We wouldn't buy it again.
Where can I get a mattress from Tempurpedic for the prices your mentioning? All I see I line is $4-5,000
Hi there -- Thanks for your question. The prices we quoted in the video are / were the MAP prices (basically, the minimum prices allowed by Tempur-Pedic) at the time of the video. Tempur-Pedic does have the tendency to raise these from time to time, so the best place to see the current MAP prices is on their site here:
www.goodbed.com/o/m/tempur-pedic/
I hope that's helpful.
I am considering the Pro Adapt Firm. I weigh 270 and I'm a side and back sleeper. Do you think that's a good model to consider? Is TP worth the insane amount of money that they ask for their beds? Please help, subbed.
I weigh the same and also considering the Pro Adapt Firm. Just can't decide.
@@lisagarnier8059 I went with the Big Fig instead.
Yes Temper is worth it if you find the mattress that is right for you. Customer service is superior!
@@TurboChards I disagree. Their customer service is atrocious. When you have an issue with the mattress, you will discover exactly what I mean
This is great! I used to have the tempur flex elite and have been looking at the adapt medium hybrid. Would you say they have a similar feel? Thanks so much for yiur help!
Hi Anthony. We haven't covered that discontinued model in depth, so I can't say for sure. I CAN point you to our GoodBed Quiz, the best way to find a bed that will meet your needs and preferences. Then you see how your needs match up against the Adapt Medium Hybrid. Start the quiz here: www.goodbed.com/mattress-finder/quiz/
where is the best place to buy a tempur-pedic?
Hi Marc -- Thanks for your question. Tempur-Pedic regulates the prices at which their dealers can sell their products, so in most stores the prices will be the same. That said, they only regulate the *minimum* price so some stores definitely set their prices above that level. Tempur-Pedic's website will generally show the lowest-allowable price at any given time, so it's best to check there before buying anywhere else. GoodBed also will show that price on our site:
www.goodbed.com/mattresses/tempur-pedic/
In terms of price, the one other thing you can do is if GoodBed has a trusted partner store in your area, you can save an additional $50 by getting a cash back code from GoodBed.com before you buy. This comes from GoodBed so is on top of whatever discounts you get from the store. To redeem the offer, all you have to do is come back to GoodBed after making your purchase and enter the code you got before your purchase.
Beyond those factors, the key thing that will differentiate Tempur-Pedic retailers is their customer service and their store policies. These considerations will be reflected in store reviews, return policy, delivery policy, financing options, etc. We look at these factors closely In choosing our trusted partner stores, so if we have one or more partners in your area that carry Tempur-Pedic, those would be good bets on this front as well.
To check whether we have selected a trusted partner in your area that carries Tempur-Pedic, just open the link that I pasted above (www.goodbed.com/mattresses/tempur-pedic/) -- if we do, there will be a banner on this page that shows it. To make sure we have estimated your location correctly, you can also try using the search box at the top of the page to search for your zip code and see if any trusted partners appear on the store locator results page.
I hope that's helpful.
Once upon a time ago it use to be Sleepy’s now I just go straight to Temper-Pedics website!
Proadapt firm is cool
Is the cover meant to be slept on without a mattress cover sheet? This may sound like an obvious question but not clear anywhere I have read.
You could do this, but we wouldn't say that the mattresses are "meant" to be slept on this way, no. We'd recommend sheets in all cases.
I’ve been referencing this video so much but I feel like I should just ask lol. My wife and I went into a mattress firm to try some beds and we both agreed that we enjoyed the adapt. I was looking to saving some money if the older products were the same and in the video, you mentioned that it is closer to the cloud supreme or cloud prima. Would you say the flex prima or tempur legacy is close to the adapt as well?
Hi Justin. Good question. The changes from collection to collection with Tempur-pedic are iterative -- that is, they tend to represent small changes in materials rather than large leaps in comfort, support, and features. So the short answer -- yes. If you see a good deal on an earlier model, that could be an option. A good guide is to compare by original price. Tempur-pedic is one of those brands that sells for the same money almost everywhere, with little discounting except for discontinued model lines.
The hybrid models in the Adapt line are closest to the discontinued Flex collection. You might want to check out our older overview video of the 2017 Tempu-pedic models, which includes the Breeze, Flex and Contour models. th-cam.com/video/wt___cVXkzk/w-d-xo.html
Good luck and thanks for the question!
nice review bought proadapt soft with tempur ergo base we love it so far.. break in period was kind of firm to us but now this is perfect.. wish it wont be hot this summer
btw was wondering about mattress protector am i force to get one ?
Hi there -- No one will force you to buy a mattress protector, but we think it's a good idea. A moisture-resistant mattress protector will keep your mattress free of stains and dust. Most mattress warranties will not be honored if your mattress has stains, so a mattress protector is also protecting your ability to invoke warranty service if needed down the line.
Hope that helps!
Hi, thanks for the awesome review! My husband and I just went into the Tempurpedic store to test out mattresses and decided we like the ProAdapt line. But, we're struggling with which firmness level to get. We are replacing a first gen Tempurpedic, so we're used to sleeping on memory foam, but they've changed a lot! I am mostly a stomach/side sleeper (5' 110 lbs) and my husband is a back/side sleeper (6' 2" 195 lbs). I love the feeling of a soft mattress, but read that with mostly sleeping on my stomach firmer is better. My husband prefers a firmer feel. I'm trying to narrow it down between the ProAdapt medium and medium hybrid. My husband likes the firm feeling of the medium and I like the extra give from the hybrid. For our sleeping needs and different body sizes which mattress would you say is the best compromise? Thanks so much!
Hi Sarah. It's true that we typically recommend firmer mattresses for stomach sleepers. However, in your case, you are so light that a given mattress is going to feel firmer to you than it does to our 200-pound tester (who is about the same size as your husband).
What you are talking about here is personal preference -- from a support standpoint, it sounds like either suits both of your needs. So it comes down to hammering out who 'wins' in terms of that softness preference. You don't mention what size you need, but if you are looking for a king size, one option is to buy two twin XL mattresses and place them side by side on your frame (be sure to get mattresses of the same height).
Something else to think about -- the Hybrid version is going to be bouncier than the ProAdapt. That's something most couples have an opinion on. Some couples like a mattress with a little bounce for sex, for example. With an all-foam bed like the ProAdapt, it won't have any bounce at all. So for you two, that might be a tiebreaker.
Hope that's helpful!
What mattress did you decide on and do you like it?
We have an Adapt medium now. We are sleeping hot. We are debating about upgrading to a ProAdapt Hybrid Medium or a Breeze Hybrid Medium (this would be floor model- we are being told the exterior "phase change cooling" would be compromised due to dirt). Breeze still feels cooler that ProAdapt. Any thoughts?
Hi Carrie. The direct effect of today's phase-change materials and coatings is difficult to assess scientifically, and keep in mind that you're putting a mattress protector and sheets on top of it, most likely negating at least some effect of those cooling features. In our view, choosing a mattress with better airflow will have a larger impact for those that sleep hot. So going with innerspring or a hybrid with pocketed coils will most likely allow for more exchange of warm air for cooler air. So between those three, either the Breeze Hybrid Medium or the ProAdapt Hybrid have the most potential for air flow. As you likely noted in the video, we did think that the high-density fibers in the cover of these Tempur models felt notably cool -- at least some portion of that cooling feeling should still be felt through your sheets and a mattress protector, but it's hard to project how noticeable that will be for you. I hope that's helpful.
Hi Carrie -- Thanks again for your question about this. In case you're still mulling over this decision, I wanted to let you know that we've just released our overview of the new Tempur-Breeze line-up for 2019. You can check it out here:

If you find it helpful, please give it a thumbs-up!
Does anyone actually sleep directly on the mattress cover? I very much doubt they do. Not a very nice feel compared to any even half-decent sheet. Therefore, what good is a "cooling" cover?
Hi there -- Good question. Of course most people don't (and shouldn't) sleep directly on the mattress. The benefit of a cooling surface is that when the heat from your body does reach it (which still happens through a sheet and even a protector), it gets pulled further away from your body, which creates a sensation of coolness. This effect is delayed (and therefore less pronounced) the more fabric is between you and the mattress, but it still happens. Think of it like putting a sheet on a slab of marble -- it would feel much less cool to the touch, but once the heat from your body goes through the sheet, the marble would still pull it away from your body. So the marble would still feel cooler to have your sheet on than, say, carpet. Of course, with any material, this effect lasts only as long as it takes for your body to warm the surface, but for that period of time it will be a bit cooler. Hope that's helpful.
I know I want to Tempur-Pedic and I know I want their foundation that lifts up and down has massage and an under bed light.
Well I went and tried this bed and I really like it. (Pro adapt hybrid medium) I'm trying to save a bit of money and find an alterative. I was leaning heavily towards the saavta but worry the luxury firm may be a bit more firm then this mattress..(based on reading reviews ) ..any thoughts ?
Hi there -- Thanks for your question. I assume you're talking abut the Loom & Leaf (made by Saatva) rather than the Saatva itself. The flagship Saatva mattress feels nothing like any Tempur-Pedic mattress so it definitely won't be a good substitute.
The Loom & Leaf is a similarly constructed mattress to a Tempur-Pedic overall in that it has a substantial amount of that slow-melting memory feel. But unlike the Hybrid model you tried, it won't have any bounce (it has no springs). It also differs in that it has about 1.5" of quilting foam on top that is not memory foam, which makes the memory feel a little less pronounced and the contouring a little less closely hugging than with a Tempur-Pedic. All of these differences are what we call "preference-based" characteristics, so there is no better or worse -- just a matter of determining which is a better match for your personal preferences.
I hope that's helpful.
how does hybrid medium compare and differ from medium?
How does "cool to the touch" matter if everyone is gonna put sheets on them?
Hi there -- Thanks for your question. We get this one a lot, and in fact there may even be other comments on this very video that ask about this. The short answer is that sheets certainly do mitigate the "coolness to the touch" experience. However they don't remove the cooling benefit. The cooling effect is created by the fact that the cooling features are able to absorb heat from your body, and as this heat is being pulled from your body it creates a sensation of coolness. When you place materials between you and the cooling feature, it simply takes the heat a little longer to reach the cooling feature. But it still does reach, and as/when it does, you still benefit from it. However it is not as palpable as when you are touching that cooling feature directly.
I hopet that's helpful.
Hi Mike, thanks to your reviews, I have narrowed my choice of mattresses down to two. The Purple 4, or the TP Pro Adapt Medium Hybrid. I am a side sleeper, which means I require pressure relief. I believe either of these mattresses will provide that. I also tend to sleep hot. From personal experience, I know the Purple provides a neutral sleep temperature, but I am concerned the TP Pro Adapt Medium Hybrid might not. If I chose the TP Pro Adapt Medium Hybrid, do you have any suggestions on creating a neutral sleep temperature?
I came VERY close to getting the purple as we had them in our local store and loved the flexible bounce. The fact that purple has a MONEY BACK guarantee makes it easy to "try out" without fear of being stuck with it. Unfortunately we went with the proadapt medium and its far to firm for us. Husband carried 50lbs of weights in his hands and jogged over the mattress trying to open up the cells but to no avail. Folks keep telling us we need to soften the bed and that we will love it after 30 days...still not feeling it (but its an excellent cardio & leg strengthening session when we jog on it. LOL) I wish we had started with purple because of their money back policy. Fortunately, after watching this great video I think the medium hybrid will do the trick as we can ONLY exchange our bed for another-no money back. Sooo, all that being said if I had it to do again I would start with purple. Its important you keep a good waterproof protector over the mattress because if you spill coffee or anything you are stuck with the bed. Good luck and it would be great to hear what you decide on and how it fits for your body :)
Which did you get ?
@@hollyojeda1308 really? I'm 260 lb and I got the pro adapt firm and not even a month later or just about a month.

Hmmm. If the mattress is on site, then you can always check the date of manufacture on the by-law tag at the head of the bed. If not, then you can check the manufacturer's website to see if the model you're interested align with the current models.
And generally mattresses shouldn't "go bad" unless they're stored improperly, so old stock shouldn't be too much of an issue unless it's a used model.
Do they still have the nasty off-gassing when new?
Hi there -- Any mattress that uses polyurethane foam (which is virtually all mattresses) have a little bit of "new mattress" smell. Two things make that worse, of which Tempur-Pedic mattresses have neither.
First is foam from low-cost import countries (eg, China), whose foam production is not monitored nearly as closely as our production is here. As a result, they can get away with the use of lower-cost chemicals and/or production processes that make their foam much more pungent and/or toxic. For that reason, cheap imported mattresses are by far the most common source of off-gassing horror stories - ones in which people's noses feel burned by the fumes, etc. No Tempur-Pedic foam is ever made overseas.
Second is vacuum-sealing and roll-packing the mattress. This typically happens shortly after the mattress is assembled and traps the chemical odors inside an airtight seal. These odors include not only off-gassing from the foam, but also from other components like glues that hold the layers together, which have typically been applied just moments earlier. In addition, the compression of the mattress means that these gasses can't travel easily from within the mattress, which means they just stay locked in place until the mattress is expanded, after which it can take 48 hours or longer for them to make their way out of the mattress. With a flat-packed mattress (the other, more conventional, approach), the mattress is not compressed and is simply wrapped inside a loose-fitting, non-airtight bag. This allows two things to happen. First, while the mattress is in transit, or in a warehouse, the gasses inside the mattress can escape through osmosis from the interior of the mattress to the exterior of the mattress. Second, the gasses that are inside the bag can slowly seep out of the bag. Thus, by the time you open the bag, most of whatever off-gasses there might have been are already gone. These days, fewer and fewer mattresses are flat-packed, but Tempur-Pedic is one brand that still flat-packs every mattress they make.
All that said, some people are acutely sensitive to ANY amount of off-gassing - even feeling light-headed or nauseous sitting in a new car, for example. For such people, the best answer may be a mattress that contains little to no polyurethane foam whatsoever. Springs, as an example, do not off-gas at all. Likewise, all-natural latex has a little bit of an initial smell, but does not have any chemical off-gassing. If sounds like you, here is a list of mattresses that generally meet these criteria, and that you can further filter based on your other wishes and requirements:

I hope that's helpful.
@@goodbed - My Tempurpedic Cloud Supreme was horrendous and gave me headaches and the smell didn't fully subside for an entire year after purchase. I read many complaints at this time about the off-gassing. It's fine now but the first six months I almost threw it out in the garbage...
@@e5m956 Understood. I hope I'm not overstepping, but it sounds like based on these complaints that you saw, you were under the impression that your experience was consistent with that of the average purchaser of a Tempur-Pedic mattress. FWIW, this is not the case. If it were, Tempur-Pedic would long be out of business by now. But more generally, we have the benefit of being able to see all complaints (including the ones you saw) and put them in the context of broader statistical averages and trends based on what portion of each brand's customers are represented by each type of complaint.
Of course, it's always possible that you got a weird unit that essentially had some kind of uncommon 'defect' in this regard. However, IMHO it is also worth considering the possibility that you may be someone who is more acutely sensitive to this type of thing. If so, this is not a problem at all! As I provided in the link above, there are many great mattresses that use little to no polyurethane foam (memory foam is one type of poly foam). Since all poly foam has some amount of off-gassing, these options will be the only way to ensure your new mattress doesn't have any off-gassing.
I hope that's helpful.
Hi Mike. Thanks for this review. Does the Pro Adapt Medium Hybrid retain heat?
Hi there -- Thanks for your question. It's hard to answer this with certainty, especially since we have not performed an in-depth review of that model. I can say that apart from the cooling fabric in the cover, this mattress does not have specific features like the Tempur-Breeze models that are designed to prevent it from retaining heat. More generally, memory foam does have a tendency to mold to your body more closely than other foams, and when combined with deeper than average cushioning, this can mean that less of your body's surface area is exposed to the air, which can limit your body's ability to efficiently expel heat. On the other hand, by virtue of the coils it uses for support (rather than a foam core) the Hybrid model does have more airflow than other models in this product line, which should help on this front. On balance, the ProAdapt Medium Hybrid is likely to retain less heat than some other Tempur-Pedic models, but if sleeping hot is a known issue for you, there are other options that should sleep cooler, including in the Tempur-Breeze line-up.
I hope that's helpful.
Thank you!
Yes. Hot mattress. I have one.
No it’s super cool
I weigh 290lbs and sleep mostly on my back or side. I did bodybuilding when I was younger and my lower back seems to suffer on soft mattresses. Would you recommend the firm or medium?
Hi there -- Thanks for your question. First, it's really hard to generalize what's going to be best for lower back pain -- the only accurate generalization is that your back needs to be supported in a proper neutral position. But unfortunately, no one mattress can do this well for all people because mattress support is highly personal, meaning it's all about "fit."
That said, if softer mattresses tend to give you lower back pain, then it seems likely that your back is reacting negatively to sinking deeply into the mattress. This would mean that you'd be best off on a mattress with shallower "cushioning depth" in our parlance. Most or all of the Tempur mattresses have above average cushioning depth, and the amount of cushioning depth would be accentuated for someone that weighs 290 lbs. As such, I don't really feel confident that anything in this line is going to be the best option for you. Given your size, I'd think that your better bet would be a mattress with an extra strong coil unit that is specifically designed for heavier people. You can find a list of those here: www.goodbed.com/guides/best-mattress-heavy-people/
I hope that's helpful.
Can’t find the serial number.
Hi Eugene - what is your question? You are looking for a serial number for your mattress? Any identifying information will be on the "law label" -- that long label that says it's illegal for it to be removed. A lot of the information there is in code -- so you may need to call the manufacturer for clarification.
Hope that's helpful!
Thanks I finally find it.
Mobility i have multiple sclerosis MS I'm stuck i brought luxe breeze firm is too hard for me can u please get back too me
Hi DeeDee.
Your best course of action is to contact the retailer -- where you bought it -- and ask about an exchange, or possibly adding a softer topper. We are mattress reviewers but we do not sell them.
Most retailers have some kind of exchange policy!
Have you reviewed the new tempur cloud? Torn between that and the loom and leaf. 130 Sid sleeper and 170 back and side sleeper. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Hi Sean -- Thanks for your question. I'm afraid we have not done an in-depth review of the Tempur-Cloud, however we have reviewed the Loom & Leaf. In case you haven't already seen it, you can find our coverage of that mattress here: www.goodbed.com/reviews/loom-and-leaf-mattress-review/
Sorry I can't be of more help on this one.
Hi Mike, I am torn. I mistakenly got rid of a Cloud Supreme (due to size/space issues a year ago). I've tried the Luxe-Adapt series which I believe are actually too forgiving. This review makes me truly wonder what would be in your opinion, the most similar to a Cloud Supreme (I have found the Supreme model online at a discounted price given it's phased out....but have contemplated the Pro-Adapt Medium. The ProAdapt Soft just seems too soft under my hips (I'm a side sleeper). I'm leaning to the Medium, unless, you think I'd be better off buying the Cloud Supreme at the retailer I found it at, at a lovely discounted price. Thanks so much.
Do the hybird one then
Honestly if you know that the Cloud Supreme works for you, then go for it. We've seen a lot of people getting good deals on that model now that it's been phased out.
Wait I bought an Adapt Medium Hybrid Cal King just a week ago for $2800. Did I get ripped off??
Hi John. We do think you pay a premium for Tempur-Pedic -- however, that's not without reason. Their materials are of exceptionally high quality in our opinion. We hope it's the right mattress for you -- sleep well!
Which is better form pressure points and lower back between the adapt hybrid, pro adapt hybrid and the pro breeze hybrid?
Thank you
Hi Marcia. Any of them can suit your needs -- and keep in mind they all come in different softness levels too. Your best bet is to go through our Quiz -- answer some questions about your body type and sleep style -- and specify Tempur-Pedic -- then we can show you how your needs line up against their models/collections. You can start the quiz here: www.goodbed.com/mattress-finder/quiz/

I am so torn between the Adapt Medium and ProAdapt Medium. I know the ProAdapt has the APR which is supposed to allow more pressure relief. I suffer with Fibromyalgia, a chronic pain condition, and find the Adapt Medium to be most comfortable. Yet I know that the APR may be better for my trigger and tender points. Shall I go with the mattress that is most comfortable or the one that sounds to be based on the materials?
I'm not the guy but pretty sure you should buy the one you find most comfortable!
Hi Andrea -- I'm so sorry we missed this question previously. In case it's still relevant for you, my input would be the following:
1) In terms of your "comfort" preference, the key difference in the feel of these two mattresses is that the ProAdapt has significantly more surface firmness to it. This type of firmness softens up as your body warms the mattress, and will also be less noticeable when the room temperature is warmer.
2) In terms of pressure relief, the ProAdapt is marginally better in this department, which is not a critical advantage for everyone, but could be a meaningful consideration for someone with fibromyalgia, especially if you sleep on your side much of the time.
Net, if you prefer the softer feel of the Adapt Medium but want the pressure relieving benefit of the ProAdapt line, I might suggest looking at the ProAdapt Medium Hybrid. We found this one to have better pressure relief than the ProAdapt Medium (as well as the Adapt Medium), however its softer feel is more similar to the Adapt Medium (with the exception of it having a little bit of bounce, which you won't find on the Adapt Medium).
I hope that's helpful.
How often does tempurpedic release new beds? Every 4 or 5 years?
Hi David -- Thanks for your question. Tempur-Pedic releases new beds most years, but doesn't revamp their entire line-up all at the same time. Rather, they will replace certain models (generally the older ones), and then the following year will update other models, etc. Each model they release tends to remain an active part of their line-up for 3-5 years. This is a bit longer than most traditional mattress brands, who tend to replace their mattresses on 2-3 year cycles. That said, it's also worth noting that the pandemic did interrupt the product introduction cycle for most mattress brands. I hope that's helpful.
Looking Into the pro adapt model but cant decide on the firm, medium, or medium hybrid. I'm a stomach sleeper mainly and rest my head on my arms, in my current bed I wake up with shoulder pains and arms asleep. Any guide on which feel is right for me?
Hi Trey -- Thanks for your question. In general, we don't tend to recommend a mattress with a lot of memory foam on top (such as a Tempur-Pedic) for a stomach sleeper, out of concern that your hips (which for everyone, are the heaviest part of your body) will sink too far into the mattress causing your back to over-arch. That being said, the problems you describe with shoulder pain and your arm falling asleep sound like pressure relief problems, for which memory foam is generally a very good solution. The shoulder pain also suggests that you might also be spending a fair bit of time on your side as well. On balance, I would lean toward the Firm, since that should provide good pressure relief while also minimizing the amount that your hips will sink into the mattress when on your stomach.
I hope that's helpful.
will you recommend this for people who have back pains?
Hello. Mattress selection is too personal for us to make any kind of across-the-board recommendation about a brand or mattress line (and in fact, ANY website that is telling you that such-and-such mattress is universally good for back pain is a FRAUD and just trying to sell you a mattress). Have you taken our Mattress Match quiz yet? We designed it for exactly this situation. Once you answer a few questions about your body type, sleeping style, and preferences, we can match up your needs against thousands of mattresses from both online and store brands. You'll get a "match score" for each mattress and specific notes about how a given mattress is likely to meet your needs, and it might turn up some models you haven't yet considered.

I have scoliosis and my back pain has significantly increased since the pandemic started and the gyms closed. I've slept on a soft Tempurpedic cloud for almost ten years and I absolutely love it, however, I recently moved and am on the market for a new, firmer mattress to help with my back. I'm a hot sleeper as well.
I only weight 150 pounds, but I'd like something firmer for my back. Would you recommend going with a firm or medium Tempurpedic mattress?
Hi Rich. Sorry to hear the back pain is flaring up -- it's so tough on everyone without our PT and normal exercise routines. As far as choosing a mattress specifically to alleviate your back pain, we believe it's a myth that a firm mattress is always better -- rather, it's about finding a bed that properly supports your back and lumbar area.
A couple of thoughts -- have you thought about an adjustable base? These are more and more common, and can allow you adjust your position to alleviate pressure. We have a bunch of videos on various models so you can see them in action:
th-cam.com/video/eIM6eyPFgB0/w-d-xo.html
The majority of mainstream mattresses, including Tempur-Pedic mattresses, are compatible with adjustable bases.
I'm also a little surprised, as a hot sleeper, that you have been doing well on a Tempur-Pedic, since there is so much memory foam and cushioning depth. For hot sleepers, we typically recommend a hybrid bed (with a pocketed spring support unit). Latex may also be something to consider for you -- latex offers superior pressure relief, yet you don't sink in as much as you do with memory foam.
In any case, we'd recommend starting with our GoodBed Quiz. By answering some questions about your preferred sleep positions and health needs, we can match your requirements against our mattress database and give you a shortlist of beds that should come closest to meeting all your needs. You can find the quiz here: www.goodbed.com/mattress-finder/
I know this is more than you asked! If you are set on sticking with Tempur-Pedic, then you likely will want to look at something like the LuxeAdapt Firm. While certainly a firmer bed overall, we did find that conformance -- how closely the mattress conforms to your curves -- is very good. So that mattress might give you the firmer support you want while still reaching up into your lumbar and neck/shoulder areas while also providing the pressure relief of memory foam.
Hope that helps!!
@@goodbed Wow that was such a thorough response. I really appreciate your time and consideration. You (guys) are great. I'm going in person this week to try out some mattresses because they're actually open! I really appreciate your time, information, and diligence. Thank you for your support! This was really helpful!
@@richrise6851 What mattress did you end up with? My girlfriend has scoliosis and we're trying to find that perfect mix between comfort and support to help her with pain relief.
I sleep on my belly. What would be best for me? Need advise
Hi Adriana. Thanks for your question. We actually developed a proprietary mattress matching quiz to answer this type of question more exactly than we can here because it uses a more complete set of information about your requirements, and then filters through thousands of mattresses to highlight the ones that are most likely to match your needs. As it seems you may already know, mattresses are very personal -- and everyone has very specific needs, preferences, and priorities.
Very generally, stomach sleepers need firmer support and less cushioning depth in the hip area to prevent the back from over-arching, but to what degree will depends on your size, weight, and other factors that the quiz takes into account.

In some country like UK, tempur use different product name, may I ask which of the above is the closest to Original Elite 25 ?
Hi -- thanks for the question, but that's a tough one. We don't have info on European/international versions. Tempur-pedic is known for its memory foam, so I imagine they are using some similar materials for their mattresses in other countries, but we can't know for sure. So I'm sorry -- we don't have specific comparison information for you.
I have nothing to say about the product(adapt/soft) except that I have 6 different kinds of fitted sheets, each time I replace my fitted sheet caused peelings.l don't know the cause, maybe the top cover?
Hi Roberto. By 'peelings' do you mean pilling -- little balls of fibers?
@@goodbed sorry wrong word..its pillings
Fabric pilling is usually caused by friction, so it's possible that the friction between your sheets and the mattress cover is causing it. You could alleviate this by using a mattress protector (which is a good idea anyway to protect your bed from stains).
@@goodbedI bought also mattress cover but still causing pillings this time getting it from the mattress cover
My question is SUPER late but I’m hoping you can still answer it. I’ve been in mattress Hades! I started with a Tempurpedic LuxeAdapt Soft, and it was terrible on my lower back. Exchanged for an Icomfort Soft, still horrible, now I have a SF Hurston Firm, no lower back pain, but now upper back pain. I’m a combination side/stomach sleeper. A relative of mine has a Sealy Extra Firm Memory Foam, and I get the BEST sleep when visiting, but they don’t make that mattress anymore. I’m now considering another Tempurpedic but either the Medium Pro Adapt or Firm Luxe Adapt. Any suggestions? I just want to get a good nights rest. Also for reference I’m 5’9 and 137 lbs.
Hi there -- Thanks for your question. Yes, the side / stomach combination is one of the hardest to balance because your needs in these two sleep positions are directly at odds with one another. On the LuxeAdapt Soft and iComfort Soft, you were getting good spinal alignment on your side but too much sinkage in your midsection when on your stomach -- this causes your back to overarch, leading to lower back pain. On the Hurston Firm, you were getting good support on your stomach but not enough conformance on your side to allow your shoulders to sink into the mattress -- this can cause upper back pain due to the curvature in your upper spine.
What you need is a mattress that offers more conformance than it does sinkage. This can be hard to find since the way most mattresses are designed, these two characteristics go hand in hand -- meaning, as you get more conformance, you also get more sinkage, and vice versa. This is the case with both the LuxeAdapt Firm and the ProAdapt Medium.
That said, there are some mattresses that are better at offering more of one of these than the other. Here are some examples that I'd recommend you look at, along with links to our in-depth reviews of these mattresses:
* Purple Original: www.goodbed.com/reviews/purple-mattress-review/ (note: if you have a partner who weighs 200 lbs or more, know that this one will not be as good for stomach sleeping as the Purple Hybrid below)

Hi Aaron. Thanks for the question.
If you check out our written page on the ProAdapt, you'll see our take on each bed's firmness level -- note that what the company says is 'medium' or 'soft' doesn't always align with what we'd call soft or medium.
Without knowing any more about you other than that you are a stomach sleeper, we would typically recommend going for a firm or extra firm mattress. So in the Tempur ProAdapt line, that would be the ProAdapt Medium (which we found to be more of a firm) or the Firm (which we found to be more of an extra firm).
Here's our page on the ProAdapt, which includes that info and more: www.goodbed.com/reviews/tempur-proadapt-mattress-preview/

did you find that although the proadapt medium was firmer than the adapt medium, that you still sank further into it? possibly due to it having more layers...that was my issue with the proadapt medium
Hi Alex -- Thanks for your question. Yeah, that might be the case. This could be a god illustration of why we consider cushioning depth and softness to be two separate characteristics.
