Quality memory foam at a more affordable price, delivered to your door.
Tempur-Pedic has been producing mattresses for over 30 years — in fact, it was the first brand to design a mattress using memory foam in the early '90s. Today, the brand continues to both set and keep up with the latest trends in bedding, regularly introducing products like Wi-Fi-enabled adjustable bed bases, ergonomic memory foam pillows and its latest debut, the Tempur-Cloud mattress. The brand's first mattress-in-a-box, the Tempur-Cloud offers some of the same great features of Tempur-Pedic's standard memory foam mattresses at a lower cost. Plus, unlike Tempur-Pedic's other beds, this one is compressed into a box and shipped right to your door.
At the Good Housekeeping Institute, we rigorously test mattresses of all kinds – from mattresses for back pain to online mattresses to affordable mattresses – so when Tempur-Pedic introduced its Tempur-Cloud mattress, we couldn't wait to review it. We worked with Tempur-Pedic representatives to learn more about all of the Tempur-Cloud mattress's features and analyzed our former mattress testing data. Plus, the Textiles Lab recently sent out a survey asking our panel of consumer testers to share their personal experiences with Tempur-Pedic mattresses, and over 300 panelists responded to our survey, providing us with insight into what it's like to sleep on a Tempur-Cloud mattress.
Here's everything you need to know about the Tempur-Pedic Tempur-Cloud mattress, including sizing, delivery, material and real user feedback.
• Height: 10 inches • Sizes: Twin, Twin XL, Full, Queen, King, Split King and California King • Firmness level: Medium • Mattress type: All foam or hybrid • Price range: $1,899 for a Twin to $3,798 for a Split King
The Tempur-Cloud mattress isn't one-size-fits-all, but it's a great option for:
Because this mattress is available in a medium firmness level, it's a good choice for stomach, back and side sleepers. Here's why:
The Tempur-Cloud mattress is constructed with the three layers of the brand's iconic memory foam – it just uses a little less than other models, with a slightly shorter profile of 10 inches.
Pro Tip: In our experience, the foam models are more well-received than the hybrid models because memory foam is what Tempur-Pedic does best.
Unlike Tempur-Pedic's other mattress collections, this one doesn't include white glove delivery service. Here's all you need to know about delivery and setup:
According to the brand and our survey panelists, Tempur-Pedic mattresses, in general, last around eight to ten years.
Many of our panelists shared that they've been sleeping on their Tempur-Pedic mattresses for years and haven't noticed a decline in the quality or shape. One panelist remarked about her Tempur-Pedic mattress, "It feels brand new each time I [lie] in it." A few respondents noted some denting where they sleep at night, but overall, they agreed that the mattresses performed well, even after years of nightly use.
Brand representatives told us that Tempur-Pedic offers a 10-year full replacement limited warranty, so the brand will replace or repair your damaged mattress for free for up to 10 years, as long as the damage meets the conditions of the warranty.
Pro Tip: Tempur-Pedic's memory foam mattresses are made with distinct layers of foam from top to bottom, so they aren't meant to be flipped, and the brand doesn't recommend rotating your mattress, either. To maintain the livelihood of your mattress, you should avoid lying it on the floor to prevent moisture buildup, and it's best to use a flat base without a box spring because box springs aren't supportive enough for the memory foam materials. It's important to clean your mattress regularly according to the brand's care instructions, as well.
Final verdict: Is the Tempur-Cloud mattress worth it?
There's no one perfect mattress for everyone, but if you're looking for a luxury mattress at a better value, the Tempur-Cloud is a top option. It may be expensive for a bed-in-a-box, but it's made with some of the same great memory foam materials used in Tempur-Pedic's more expensive mattress models. The foams are high quality and long-lasting and are highly praised for being comfortable and motion isolating, helping users to sleep soundly through the night. Plus, the pressure relieving materials can even help to ease neck and back pain. Some users find it sleeps on the hotter side (a common complaint of dense memory foam beds), so if you struggle with maintaining a comfortable temperature in bed, it may not be the best choice for you, and you might want to try one of Tempur-Pedic's top-tested cooling mattresses instead. Remember, you can always put the Tempur-Cloud mattress to the test for 90 days before fully committing if you're still unsure if it's right for you.
