About the TEMPUR Pro Air SmartCool™ Plus Firm 25cm Mattress
Last checked
The fit story here starts with a dense, slow-response foam build rather than springs: the TEMPUR Pro Air SmartCool™ Plus Firm is a 25cm all-foam mattress with a removable SmartCool™ cover washable at 40 degrees. It is sold as firm, 5 of 5, with support coming from TEMPUR material resisting and contouring under body weight, not from a pocket-spring unit pushing back in zones. This sits in dense-foam territory. At 25cm, the depth is honest for a premium memory-foam mattress, but it is not a towering pillowtop hybrid; the value is concentrated in pressure-relieving TEMPUR foam and the cooling cover rather than in multiple spring decks, latex layers or visible upholstery depth. The SmartCool™ cover is the unusual part of the package for an all-foam mattress, because standard memory foam often carries a heat-retention penalty, while this cover is designed to give a quicker cool-touch surface and deal with heat at the top layer. Practical reality still applies: cooling fabric can improve first contact and surface freshness, but it does not turn an all-foam mattress into a ventilated pocket-sprung hybrid with air moving through the core.
Back sleepers who want firm support with a moulded, held-in feel are the clearest audience, and positive reviews repeatedly link the mattress with reduced back pain, better posture over the first few weeks and a firm-but-comfortable surface once the foam has settled around the body. Side sleepers with pronounced shoulders or hips have a tougher equation, because the firm grade gives less immediate sink than a medium foam or pocket-sprung hybrid, so pressure can build at the shoulder and hip before the foam has warmed and yielded. Cold bedrooms change the feel. A recurring complaint is that the mattress can feel board-like in a cold room, with one osteoarthritis sufferer finding it far harsher than expected, while other lower-rated reviews describe the opposite problem: deep sink, difficult movement and a sense that the “firm” label did not match the delivered feel. That contradiction is believable with viscoelastic foam, which can feel stiffer when cold and more enveloping once warmed by body heat, but it means couples with different weights or mobility needs may find the response less predictable than a spring-led build. Temperature feedback is more encouraging than old memory-foam stereotypes suggest, with several accounts saying they did not overheat and one substantial account praising the washable cover after a spill, which fits the spec’s removable 40-degree cover. For dedicated back sleepers wanting dense, contouring foam, this is the sensible match. For curvier side sleepers or anyone needing easy push-back, look at a medium pocket-sprung or latex-hybrid tier instead.

Tried several mattresses in the Dreams shop, decided the Tempur pro air firm was the one for us. Slept on it now for several weeks and have had the best nights sleep to-date.
Wife has spinal issues and found it too firm , i liked it but decided to go for medium now she seems alot happier so all good , easy to get it swapped even offered to swap again if needed , brilliant service .
Very good mattress. More on the expensive side but so far it is proving to be a very good mattress.
Cant rate this high enough!! We spent absolutely ages thinking about if we could afford this mattress, let alone if the expense would be worth it. But, we are so eternally thankful we did!!! Having read countless articles, read various feedback and had multiple store visit, Im glad we took the plunge! Both of us have had industrial accidents which left us with spine damage. Sleeping has been an ongoing issue. Getting comfortable, feeling supported, being able to move, feeling like youve actually slept. Its been years since we could say weve slept comfortably. Within seconds of lying down, sciatica kicks in, pins and needles and dead legs happen, not in this bed!! Ok, we have the adjustable bed, but thats more for sitting up rather than lying. But this mattress is supportive, it moulds to your position. Neither of us have been excessively hot which has been an issue for some, weve not experienced that. The mattresses are heavy, they do take some moving. However, its such heaven not waking up endlessly with hip pain, dead legs etc.
OMG this mattress is lovely I have a good sleep every night, it supports my back and hip brilliantly would recommend this to everyone
We are trying to get used to our new mattress as it is so different from anything we have ever slept on. It is a new feeling of finding the way it molds to your body. Still learning how to get off it - we are 75 and 78.
Straight away regretted not buying tempur years ago, i had previously bought a extra firm mattress but switching down a to less firmer mattress have made me benefit more ways than one be it a better nights sleep or less aches
When our mattress got delivered it was faulty, the delivery men were so good and sorted it. Our first night was awful we had been advised wrong as we had the firm mattress. We spoke to customer services and they were great, we did swap it for a sort one in the end which was the right choice for us.
A really good quality firm bed but it takes a good few weeks for it to soften up and for us to get used to it. This resulted in quite a lot of sleepless nights to start with.
Great mattress, now getting quality sleep, it feels very hard to start with but you soon melt into it,
This mattress has improved my sleep and well being by easing my back pain.
Very knowledgeable staff, purchased a tempur mattress never had one before but it is wonderful ,never slept so well in my life.delivery staff very polite and efficient.would definitely recommend the whole Dreams team.
A very comfortable and supportive mattress, it may cost more than others, but as sleep and rest is an important part of life then spending a little more money on this mattress is well worth it!
Most comfortable mattress we have ever had. I am a restless sleeper and this mattress limits movement so my partner isnt disturbed. We are both sleeping betet.
Very firm and comfortable Less heat than an average mattress
If youre looking for a mattress to help ease any aches and pains this mattress has a firmer feel for ultimate body support that gently conforms in the areas you need it too. We would highly recommend for all sleeping styles but if you tent to move onto your side this mattress will give you the ultimate support. The cooling fabric feature is perfect for any hot sleepers as it maintains a cool temperature while you sleep.
Bought firm but still very soft i love the pillow texture but unfortunately its too soft for me
Great service, fast delivery and the most comfortable mattress I've owned!
So much more comfortable than my previous mattress. Highly recommended.
Mattress ja very comfortable to sleep on. The memory foam really helps with back pains. Felt a bit weird first few weeks, but later on you can feel the change in your body posture and quality of sleep. Highly recommended!
