About the TEMPUR Pro Air SmartCool™ Plus Medium 25cm Mattress
Last checked
Buyers considering the TEMPUR Pro Air SmartCool™ Plus Medium are buying into dense, slow-response memory foam rather than a sprung support system, with the 25cm depth giving it more substance than thinner boxed foams but without the bounce or edge architecture of pocket-sprung hybrids. The feel is medium, though the strongest customer split is around whether that medium grade feels forgiving enough once body heat and body weight have settled into the foam. It needs an adjustment period. TEMPUR’s NASA-derived material is best translated as viscoelastic foam that moulds closely, spreads load and absorbs movement, so support comes from contouring rather than from individual springs pushing back under the hips, shoulders and lumbar area. A 25cm all-foam premium mattress with a removable 40°C washable cover is credible for this construction class; the SmartCool™ cover is the unusual part, because cooling covers at this tier usually offer a surface sensation rather than changing the fundamental warmth profile of a deep foam bed. The claimed 18% faster cooling versus other TEMPUR Pro models is useful context, but it does not turn this into the airy feel of a wool-tufted pocket mattress or a latex hybrid. The comfort story is therefore very specific: pressure relief, motion absorption and a close, enveloping surface, at the expense of springiness and easy repositioning.
Best matched to sleepers who like being held by the mattress rather than lifted on top of it, this TEMPUR suits back sleepers and some mixed-position sleepers who want a quieter, less bouncy alternative to traditional springs. Praise tends to focus on deeper sleep, strong support after moving from sprung mattresses, and the way partner movement is damped by the foam, which fits the spec: memory foam is naturally good at absorbing motion. Side-sleeper feedback is more divided. A recurring complaint is that it can feel too hard or too sinking after a few hours, with hip, shoulder, leg or back discomfort appearing once the foam has compressed around pressure points; that runs against the pressure-relief promise and matters most for people who already know they need a plush shoulder zone. Heat is also not settled by the SmartCool™ cover for everyone: one detailed complaint describes intense contact warmth, while a longer positive experience says normal summer use was mostly fine, so hot sleepers should treat the cover as cooling help rather than a guarantee. Edge support draws criticism too, with the side feeling squidgy for sitting, and an isolated early-sagging report sits beside much happier sleep-quality feedback. It lands well for patient sleepers who want dense foam support, low motion transfer and a washable cool-touch cover; anyone wanting bounce, firmer sitting edges or consistently cooler airflow may need to compare latex or pocket-sprung hybrids before paying TEMPUR-level money.

This is the most comfy mattress I have ever had and I sleep so much bettter now
Comfy mattress, bit harder than a sprung but much more supportive
Super comfortable and supportive, adapting to body shape.
Best mattress Ive slept on. My sleep score has improved massively since using this mattress!!!
My back pain had all gone. Best quality sleep I have ever had
Very comfortable mattress, still getting used to it but I'm sure will be a wise purchase.
Best purchase we have made in a long time!! No more aches and pains in the night. And its fully supporting me, as well as not letting me roll around in my sleep while pregnant. And Im no longer being woken up by my husband spinning around like a rotisserie chicken!
Desperately needed a new bed, with the help of everyone in the Trafford Dreams store we ended up landing on a Tempur mattress. This is the first "premium" mattress I have ever bought and it is worth it, within a week I went from unable to get up from crippling back-pain to pain-free comfort and I couldn't be happier.
There is no doubt that this memory foam mattress gives great support to all my joints. However, as the foam moulds to your body shape it does make it difficult to roll over or change position. I'm not returning it but I think I would go back back to springs next time.
We love this mattress! Comfortable, comfortable, comfortable. We went for a firmer one as the softer ones felt a bit like we were sinking in too much for our liking, but thats just personal preference. Would definitely recommend this, just like a previous Tempur I had.
The best mattress ever and why did we not change it ages ago
This mattress was worth ever penny. It is very comfortable and we adjusted to sleeping on it very quickly. Husband suffers with arthritis and it has helped his sleep immensely. Very good quality.
Great mattress, very comfortable and has great support
This mattress provides the level of support I have been looking for. Even with the exclusive cooling cover, the foam reacts to your body temperature to respond to your body shape, providing excellent lumbar support. Highly recommended for anyone with aches and pains.
Super comfy and well supported. has helped eased my lower back pain. And as the mattress is thicker and supports you getting out of bed is easier too!
Felt too firm as first, but that's because it's a different type of mattress (no springs!). Once you lay on the mattress it seems to form around you, giving a bit here and there, creating a perfect support to an excellent night's sleep. Since having this mattress neither of us have woken with any aches or pains from poor posture sleeping. Wish we had bought one years ago.
Everything that the advertising states is correct. A mattress that's molded around you, very comfortable. A simple pillow none of these multiple soft pillows required.
This is the third Tempur mattress we have bought in nearly thirty years. Their comfort improved each time. The new cooling feature works well, and the support for my back and hips is much better. Recommended. Also The shop staff were knowledgeable, friendly and helpful - as usual.
Mattress is very comfortable and supportive. It wasn't cheap but worth it. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Delivery was punctual and seamless. Delivery guys were friendly and delivered the mattress to the required room.
The Tempur Pro Air Smart Cool Mattress is all that it says it is and more. Very comfortable and aligns easily and smoothly with body movement. Since the purchase, sleep has improved dramatically as have the back pains, whilst keeping my body temperature cool throughout the night. Only wish I had replaced my mattress sooner as did not appreciate the benefits.
