Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-Adapt Mattress Review

Tempur-Pedic began producing mattresses more than two decades ago. Based on adaptive foam developed in NASA’s laboratory, the company’s unique TEMPUR material helped bring memory foam to the forefront of the mattress industry.

We take an in-depth look at the TEMPUR-Adapt Mattress’ all-foam and hybrid variations to find out how they feel and explore each model’s strengths and weaknesses. We cover how each mattress performs in different categories and who might find them most comfortable.

How We Review

Our team personally tries and evaluates every mattress we review. We use a unique methodology that examines a range of performance features. We do this to provide you with a broad and objective look at how each mattress performs, so you can find a mattress that fits your needs, preferences, and budget.

The TEMPUR-Adapt Mattress provides deep, body-hugging contouring that prevents pressure points. The mattress’ comfort layers are made from the brand’s signature TEMPUR materials, which conform to the sleeper’s shape. Pocketed coils in the hybrid model provide additional support without sacrificing the bed’s excellent motion isolating properties, making either model a good option for couples, sleepers who awaken easily due to movement, and people with pets.

We examine both versions of the TEMPUR-Adapt and highlight the categories in which they perform best.

TEMPUR-Adapt Pros and Cons

Sleeping Positions, Body Weight, and Firmness

Our testing team uses a 10-point scale to rate the firmness level of a mattress, with 1 being the softest and 10 being the firmest. We rated both the all-foam and hybrid TEMPUR-Adapt as having a medium (5) level of firmness. Medium beds are known for their ability to contour deeply while still maintaining underlying support.

People with different body types and sleeping positions benefit from different kinds of mattresses. That’s why our testing team is made up of a diverse group of individuals with varying preferences, weights, and sleep styles. This helps us understand who might benefit the most from each mattress we review.

TEMPUR-Adapt – All-Foam

TEMPUR-Adapt – Hybrid

Side Sleepers

The side sleepers on our team weighing under 230 pounds gave top marks to both versions of the TEMPUR-Adapt, praising the deep contouring of the dual comfort layers of memory foam. While side sleepers over 230 pounds felt comfortable on both models, some felt that they sank a bit too deeply to feel supported.

Back Sleepers

Back sleepers benefit from targeted support to prevent their hips from sinking too far into the surface and losing spinal alignment. The hybrid model’s more responsive support core was slightly more popular with our back sleepers. However, team members who weigh more than 230 pounds found that neither option provided enough support to keep them comfortable.

Stomach Sleepers

A mattress that’s too soft can contribute to back pain and leave stomach sleepers feeling like they’re sinking into the middle of the bed. Both versions of the TEMPUR-Adapt had too much contouring and too little support for our stomach sleepers, especially those over 230 pounds. Stomach sleepers may prefer the brand’s ProAdapt Mattress, which comes in a firm (7) version.

Both the all-foam and hybrid TEMPUR-Adapt Mattress have a stretchy poly-blend cover, designed to promote temperature neutrality. Underneath, a soft comfort layer of proprietary TEMPUR-ES material responds to pressure from the sleeper’s body, while a second comfort layer of original TEMPUR material works with the first to adapt to the individual’s shape and temperature.

In the hybrid model, the comfort layers sit atop of a support core consisting of more than one thousand pocketed coils, engineered to provide additional stability and stronger edge support. Rather than a coil core, the all-foam model features a polyfoam support base.

TEMPUR-Adapt Construction Layers

The TEMPUR-Adapt hybrid is sold as a $200 upgrade from the all-foam version. This puts the all-foam model squarely in the luxury mattress category, while the hybrid has a mid-range price-point. Both models use durable, proprietary foams and come with free shipping and White Glove delivery.

Which Tempur-Pedic Mattress Is Right for You?

Tempur-Pedic crafts a wide range of foam and hybrid mattresses that feature their flagship TEMPUR memory foam. While the TEMPUR-Adapt is a great choice for side sleepers under 230 pounds, other types of sleepers may find that another Tempur-Pedic model is a better fit.

The TEMPUR-Cloud is the brand’s most affordable mattress, available in foam or hybrid models with a shorter profile. If you tend to sleep hot and want a bed that keeps you comfortable all night, consider the TEMPUR-ProBreeze or LuxeBreeze. Available in foam or hybrid models, the ProBreeze features advanced cooling technology and a medium (5) firmness level.

Stomach sleepers and testers over 230 pounds will appreciate the firm (7) versions of the ProAdapt or LuxeAdapt. The ProAdapt also comes in all-foam and hybrid options, while the LuxeAdapt is only available in an all-foam model.
