About the Tempur Pro Smartcool Mattress
Last checked
Side-sleep comfort is the main story here. The Tempur Pro Smartcool uses a medium, 3 of 5 feel to let shoulders and hips settle, so its support comes from slow, body-moulding foam rather than the lift and rebound of a pocket-sprung unit. That is a very different bed feel. Compared with open-coil mattresses or firmer pocket-sprung hybrids, this is a comfort-led construction: pressure is spread through close contouring, movement is damped, and the surface gives gradually rather than bouncing straight back. The spec is credible for a premium foam mattress, but it is also conservative in one sense: the cooling story appears to sit mainly in the Smartcool cover and Tempur material feel, not in a ventilated spring core or naturally airy comfort layer. Dense foam still behaves like dense foam. Day to day, that means better cushioning for side sleepers than a flatter orthopaedic-style mattress, while back sleepers who prefer a tauter, more level platform may find the medium tension supportive but not quite as bracing as a firmer build.
The Smartcool cover is the lived-in selling point. Praise repeatedly lands on comfort, reduced overheating and better sleep through warm nights, which broadly matches the spec’s cooling emphasis rather than contradicting it. Aches and back discomfort also come up in a positive way, with several owners linking the moulding feel to fewer morning niggles; the strongest fit is average-weight side sleepers, because the foam flexes under the shoulder and hip instead of pushing back abruptly. Firmness is where expectations split. The medium label does not read as soft to everyone: a recurring product-level complaint is that it feels firmer than expected, and even some positive feedback describes it as firmer than remembered, so back sleepers wanting a cushioned but flatter hold may prefer more tension. The weakest experiences are dragged down by service and fulfilment problems as well, including long delivery delays, damaged topper packaging, poor replacement chasing and missing base units; those are not mattress-construction faults, but they still affect the real ownership experience. It lands best with average-weight side sleepers wanting pressure relief, a cooler-feeling foam surface and low bounce; for quick spring-back, firmer edge definition or a clearly harder back-sleeping feel, the search belongs in firmer pocket-sprung hybrids or the higher-tension end of the foam category.

Specifications
Manufacturer specifications without the jargon, easy to scan and compare.
TEMPUR® Advanced material –provides our best ever pressure relief* across your body for comfort and support on a whole new level
Slow-recovery foam compresses under heavier areas and rebounds gradually, spreading load across the surface and reducing sharp digging at the shoulder or hip. Hot sleepers may prefer a more open, spring-led build.
TEMPUR Durabase™ technology –works with the upper mattress layers ensuring long lasting comfort and support
Base foam beneath the sleep surface spreads pressure and keeps the softer layers steadier because your weight is not landing straight on one thin section. It won't soften a mattress that is already too hard.
* Based on internal tests comparing TEMPUR® Original with TEMPUR® Advanced Material, carried out by Dan-Foam ApS between May 2022 – March 2023.
Foam samples are compressed beside an earlier version to indicate whether the newer layer changes how pressure is spread under your shoulders and hips. Lab results don't replace trying the mattress at home.
TEMPUR® Dynamic Support Technology –working together with TEMPUR® Material, this layer provides additional support plus extra ease of movement
Foam beneath the upper comfort layers pushes back when weight shifts, helping you turn over without feeling trapped in the surface. People after deep sink may prefer a slower, softer foam feel.
Free 10 year guarantee –for peace of mind?
Fault cover means a qualifying sag or failed seam should be handled without a fresh mattress bill, making longer ownership feel less risky. Spills and comfort changes may sit outside the cover.
Easy care –no turn mattress, simply rotate regularly, in line with the care guide instructions
One sleep face stays uppermost, sparing you the awkward flip. Care means moving it end to end on schedule, because the same areas can settle faster when left under nightly pressure.
TEMPUR Adapt® material –original TEMPUR® Material, now more resilient and long lasting, adapts and supports your body and relieves pressure
Slow-moving foam compresses under warmer, heavier areas, spreading your weight across the surface and letting hips sink in more evenly. It can hold warmth and slow down turning.
Comfort rating –Soft, Medium, Medium/Firm and Firm
Firmness choice changes how deeply your body sinks. Pick too cushioned and your hips may dip, while too resistant can leave pressure building where you press into the mattress.
Mattress height –21cm
Lower mattress sides keep the sleeping surface closer to the bed base, since there's less depth for you to climb onto at night. Deep fitted sheets may wrinkle on the corners.
QuickRefresh™ zip-off top cover –machine washable at 40°C keeps it feeling fresh and cool, night after night
Removable top panel lets you wash the sleep surface at 40°C, helping clear sweat and skin oils before they sit under the sheet. It won't make a warm room sleep cold.
TEMPUR Pro® SmartCool™ Cover –innovative Cool-to-the-touch SmartCool Technology™ helps to absorb excess body heat, keeping you feeling cool and fresh
Cover fabric pulls warmth from your skin, leaving the surface cooler at first touch and less clammy as you settle. Heavy bedding can overwhelm that cooling effect.

Our new mattress is wonderful…… sleeping so much better.
So far so good, a bit firmer than I remembered but supportive. Good nights sleep so far. Overall very happy with it.
I had my previous Tempurpedic mattress in a different country for many years so when I moved to the UK I knew I needed to get another one .. the Tempur Pro Smartcool mattress is amazing .. my back is thanking me every night as it is so comfortable !!! I thoroughly recommend this mattress !!!
Very good service from bensons the mattress is too comfortable don't want to get up in the mornings now
Absolutely fabulous and worth every penny. I would highly recommend this it is expensive but worth the investment
I was having issues with neck and back pains, since using this mattress my pains appear to have cleared up and I'm having a much better nights sleep, I bought the base as well and the whole this doesn't only feel better it looks way better also. I was given the Tempur pillows they are great no more having to put two pillows on top of each other one pillow is all you need this helps sleep posture.
Comfortable mattress which takes a little getting used to as it is so different to a normal one.
Expensive but so worth every penny, getting the best night's sleep and waking up without the aches and pains I previously had, I'm a very happy customer
Excellent mattress, delivered with care, very pleased with the quality and the service from Bensons. Have used this company previously and I highly recommend it them. Thank you once again Bensons.
I love it! The only trouble is, I find it harder than ever to get up in the mornings! It is the most comfortable mattress I have ever slept on, with the added bonus.. it never needs turning at all. This is a very important for some elderly like me who lives alone.
What are the difference a good mattress can make The only outstanding question I have is why didn't I make the decision to purchase sooner. If you want an interrupted night sleep waking up feeling amazing. Don't hesitate.
I love this mattress. I was prepared to give time to adjust to it but very comfortable and slept well from day one.
Absolutely fantastic.. Sleeping incredibly well Delighted with our purchase and all thanks to the excellent member of staff who helped us.
We decided to go for a Tempur over some cheaper options. We've had it almost a month now & it's so comfortable. No more waking up with aches or pains. Good delivery, on time.
After the first couple of weeks settling in, it was extremely comfortable thank you.
Fantastic mattress. Having spinal and hip issues the soft is perfect to relieve aches and pains. I truly wake up with none!! Only downside is it's only 21cm height. Means my pillows slip through the headboard and fitted sheets untuck! I have a similar in medium/firm which is 23cm and don't have this issue. Otherwise, a perfect mattress for sleep
