About the TEMPUR Pro Air SmartCool™ Plus Medium Firm 25cm Mattress
Last checked
TEMPUR’s Pro Air SmartCool Plus is a 25cm all-foam memory-foam mattress built around TEMPUR Advanced Material and a removable SmartCool cover washable at 40°C, with the feel pitched as medium-firm, 4 out of 5. The construction is doing a different job from a pocket-sprung hybrid: support comes from slow, pressure-spreading foam rather than coil pushback, so the surface should mould under shoulders and hips while resisting the lively bounce that helps some sleepers change position. The feel is dense, not springy. A 25cm premium all-foam build is on-tier rather than generous; in this construction class the money is going into the proprietary foam feel and cooling cover, not into extra spring layers, latex, or a visibly deep pillow-top. The cooling language needs translating into practical terms: the cover can feel cool on contact and can be removed for washing, but memory foam still has less open airflow than spring-heavy mattresses, so heat performance depends heavily on bedding, room temperature and how deeply the sleeper sinks into the foam. The standout feature is the SmartCool cover, claimed to cool faster than other Tempur Pro models, which is more meaningful than generic breathable-cover wording because it names the surface layer, not an invisible internal promise.
Average-weight side and back sleepers are the natural audience here, especially couples who value low disturbance: happier accounts describe a settled, dense feel, strong posture support and very little movement carrying across the bed when a partner turns. Back sleepers get the cleaner fit, because medium-firm Tempur foam can hold the pelvis steadier than a softer all-foam mattress, while side sleepers need enough body weight to activate the contouring rather than perching on top of the comfort material. Heat feedback is more divided. Several positive accounts praise the cool-touch cover for reducing sweaty wake-ups, which matches the surface-cooling spec, but low-scoring buyers repeatedly say it sleeps hot and feels much harder at home than the showroom version, so the cooling claim is not reliable for everyone. Pressure relief is the other split: some owners with restless sleep or chronic discomfort describe a major improvement, while repeated complaints mention aching, pins and needles, and shoulder or rib pressure, especially where broader shoulders need more sink. The mattress also has a reputation for substantial weight, making handling awkward even when the cover’s washability is useful. If you're an average-weight back sleeper or a side sleeper who likes a firmer Tempur hug, this works. If you're broad-shouldered, very heat-sensitive, or expecting deep plush sink-in, a softer zoned hybrid tier makes more sense.

Yes, it's expensive, but it's so, so worth it! The cooling technology is fantastic, not overly cooling but brilliant at regulating your temperature, no more sweaty nights! Firm enough for supporting posture but soft enough for comfort. My only regret is not getting the deeper mattress!
Wow!! What a difference this mattress makes! Ive always been a restless sleeper but now I have enjoyed a much more settled sleep. The mattress has the feeling of being much more ‘dense and that sensation allows me to sleep uninterrupted throughout the night. This mattress stays cool, so no waking up feeling damp all over. Probably one of the best buys I have ever made!
Worth every penny spent on this mattress, sleep heaven, comfort 11/10. Supreme support, zero overheating, springs back and is like getting in a brand new mattress every night. This is one decision youll never regret... top tier investment!
Wonderful nights sleep on a perfect hugh quality mattress, you certainly get what you pay for
Wonderful mattress. Weve tried the machine in Bromley and it advised the medium firmness — after trying out different flavours, Mrs and I agreed that is the best fit. The staff in the Bromley High Streey branch was very helpful and knowledgeable and advised how to get a decent deal as we needed an entire bed for a new home even though we had to order online as we couldnt make it back to the shop in time to get the discount. Its my first “real” mattress I got to choose and I couldnt be happier.
Wonderful mattress- best sleep we've had in years.
With years not sleeping well, i had given up in believing there was such a thing as a good nights sleep, and with a comfortable mattress , that was out of the question. My husband asked me to try Tempa and i refused 3 times. Finally i gave in and with griited teeth said yes Omg, i had the first good comfortable sleep in years. I can absolutely recommend Tempa, for comfort, it embraces you and holds you so the bed does not dip.or move at all. Well worth the money.
Wish I had bought the mattress years ago!!! I have had the best nights sleep in years. As age increases, aches and pains have come with it . With this mattress I awake refreshed and ready to go. Ignore the more expensive, dont buy cheap - you really get what you pay for. Go for this mattress, it is amazing.
What can o say!, I no longer wake up with an achy back. The best sleep I e had for a long time. No regrets!
What an incredible mattress. So comfortable, so much quality, and a perfect nights sleep.
What an amazing mattress. We were in the market for a new mattress and after giving the sleepmatch technology a go we were matched with a Tempur Pro Air SmartCool Mattress and after having a lie down on it in the shop knew straight away that this was the right one for us. It is so supportive and comfortable that we are now enjoying the best nights sleep tat we have had in a long while. You know what they say, you get what you pay for, well in this case its worth every penny.
What an amazing mattress. The mattress is fantastic, I originally didnt want a Tempur mattress as had heard bad reviews. However, the sales person was fantastic and explained everything to us. We did the virtual mattress check to see what suited us both and went for the Tempur mattress.
Went for medium/hard, and this provided me with the perfect amount of support. I felt the mattress shape to my back ever so slightly without the mattress sagging too deep, and the mattress restored its shape shortly after I got up. Perfect
We've had a Tempur mattress before but not one of these smart cooled ones. We upgraded to a bigger one and went with the smart cool version this time. Very comfortable as the last one was. We found our older one used to make us a little warm but haven't had this issue with the new one. Love it and very happy. Their 100 day change of mattress thing is super handy too as we are going to change the softness down one level. Highly recommend! I'd never go back to a normal mattress again.
We were show a number of mattresses and after going through the selection process we selected the Tempur air cool being very good.
We went in store and the machine found us our perfect bed, honestly it's so comfortable and helps relieve body pain as it supports the bodys natural curves and pressure points
We tried the bed thing in store. This mattress was number 2 on the list but it just felt the most comfortable to us.
We thought we were happy with our old bed, but began to realise that it was sagging and becoming uncomfortable. Headed straight to Dreams and received great Customer Service. Encouraged to try different mattresses, and soon found the perfect one. Delivered as promised by two very helpful people. The old mattress was taken away, and they treated our property with care and respect. Were delighted and have slept incredibly well ever since. Highly recommended.
We spent a lot of time in store trying out the mattresses before deciding on the firmness that we needed. My husband wanted firm and I wanted medium, so we compromised and went for medium firm. We had a memory foam mattress before this and we cant believe how much better the Tempur one is. The advantages are: Incredibly comfortable. It completely moulds to your body and easily changes when you move. Its firm enough that I dont move when my husband does. It doesnt get hot. It doesnt crush on the edges when you sit to put your socks on! Disadvantage: It does smell when you first unwrap it, but we opened windows and rolled back the quilt for a couple of weeks and now its fine. It was very hard for the first couple of days as it was really cold from the storage, but now its perfect!
We recently went to Dreams in Grimsby to purchase a silent night mattress. After a discussion with the sales person and being assessed on the type of mattress that would best suit are needs, we purchased a Tempur mattress and our quality of sleep has improved. Very happy no longer have back ache first thing in the morning.
