About the TEMPUR EASE® 22cm SmartCool™ Mattress
Last checked
People replacing an older firm mattress, but wanting more pressure relief than springs usually give, are the natural audience for the TEMPUR EASE® 22cm SmartCool™ Mattress. It is medium-firm, 4 out of 5. The build is deliberately uncomplicated. At 22cm, this is a streamlined all-foam Tempur rather than a deep hybrid: the spend is going into the proprietary pressure-relieving TEMPUR Adapt® material and removable SmartCool™ cover, not into pocket springs, zoning or a thick pillow-top layer found in bulkier memory-foam hybrids. That is an honest construction choice, but not a generous one if the yardstick is visible layer depth. The foam will contour under load and spread pressure more slowly than sprung upholstery, so the surface should feel steadier and more moulding than bouncy. There are no springs to add rebound, which usually suits people who dislike movement in the bed, although it also means turning over can feel less lively than on a pocket-sprung mattress. The SmartCool™ cover is the standout surface feature: cool-to-touch fabric and 30°C washability are practical upgrades, but the cover cannot turn dense memory foam into an actively ventilated mattress.
TEMPUR Adapt foam and a medium-firm feel make most sense for average-weight back sleepers and side sleepers who want cushioning without a very soft sink. Back support is the stronger fit. Side sleepers with sharper hips or a pronounced hourglass shape may want a softer comfort layer, because this tension can hold the pelvis higher before enough shoulder and hip give develops. Repeated praise centres on firm support, pressure relief and improved sleep comfort, including several mentions of back or neck issues easing; the connection with the spec is clear, because slow-response foam spreads load rather than pushing back through springs. Couples also flag low disturbance and no spring noise, which suits the all-foam construction. Heat is the main caution here. The spec leans hard on SmartCool™, yet a notable low-score complaint says the mattress still became uncomfortably warm once body heat built up in the foam, so the cool-touch cover should be treated as a surface benefit rather than a full cooling system. Criticism also centres on sinking at the hips and especially near the edges, with lower-back pain following for some, which is the risk with medium-firm memory foam when the sleeper needs firmer edge control or carries more weight through the pelvis. If the priority is a quiet, contouring Tempur feel for average-weight back and side sleeping, this works. If overheating, edge sink or pronounced hip drop is already a worry, a cooler pocket-sprung hybrid or firmer support-focused tier makes more sense.

Additionally, the mattress is compatible with Sleepmotion™ bases, allowing for customizable support and comfort. This combination of advanced technology and thoughtful design ensures a luxurious and restful sleep experience.
The firmness of the mattress is perfect for us both, and with no squeaky springs, or motion from one anothers movements in bed, you get one heck of a sleep.
Highly recommend this mattress. If you want a firm but supportive mattress this is the one.
Really happy with this mattress, sleeping like a dream!
Super comfy mattress. We had a Tempur mattress for 14 years and it was time to replace it, I think this us better than the previous one!
Once you get used to it it's very comfortable. The only thing is that the surface is very slippery and the mattress protector slides around in it making uncomfortable ridges if you turn over in the night. Get a properly fitted mattress protector.
We have always had a firm mattress and although our mattress was quite old, we have always slept well, so when we decided to renew the mattress I was a little concerned to say the least, the new mattress is firm but very comfortable, we haven't had any problems sleeping on the new one and are very satisfied with it.
Very comfortable, bought it as i had a lot of problems with my back and neck and i can feel different already.
I have suffered from morning back pain for years. A few weeks ago I spent a night in a hotel on a similar mattress and woke free of pain, so I bought one, and have been pain free since.
Best mattress I have bought my neck and hip pain have all gone.so nice now to get up in a morning
These pillows are super comfortable and mould around your shape and movement of your head. I highly recommend you spend that little bit extra and get yourself a decent pillow!
So far I have felt not great, I have bought a medium firm mattress. At times, I have felt not comfortable and planning to experience few more days before take any calls.
The comfiest Ive ever been, I have hip problems and Ive never slept better and dont wake up stiff and aching.
