Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-ProAdapt Mattress Review

Known for its foam materials that isolate motion and conform to the body, Tempur-Pedic was the first company to popularize memory foam mattresses.

The TEMPUR-ProAdapt is a line of mattresses available in four options: soft, medium, and firm all-foam models, plus a medium hybrid version. All of the models feature high-end TEMPUR foams that deliver substantial pressure relief and motion isolation, while the hybrid model contains pocketed coils that add a degree of bounce.

How We Review

We tested each version of the TEMPUR-ProAdapt Mattress in our sleep lab as part of a comprehensive evaluation by our experienced testing team. Our protocol includes comfort assessments for different sleep positions and body weights and scoring the mattress models according to eight performance metrics.

The first thing you’ll notice when you lie down on a TEMPUR-ProAdapt Mattress is its exceptional pressure relief. The memory foam hugs the body, conforming to heavier areas and high-pressure zones. This can relieve tension and makes the TEMPUR-ProAdapt especially comfortable for side sleepers who frequently have sharp pressure points around the hips and shoulders.

Tempur-Pedic’s specially formulated memory foam layers also prevent motion from transferring across the surface of the mattress. When resting on the TEMPUR-ProAdapt, you won’t feel shaking or vibration if a bed partner gets in or out of bed or decides to change their sleeping position.

TEMPUR-ProAdapt Mattress Pros and Cons

Sleeping Positions, Body Weight, and Firmness

We use a 10-point scale to rate mattress firmness, with 1 corresponding to an extremely soft feel and 10 representing an extra hard mattress.

Keep in mind that there’s no single firmness level that’s best for every sleeper. Choosing the right mattress depends on your favorite sleeping position as well as your body weight. For example, side sleepers tend to need more soft cushioning for their hips and shoulders, while people over 230 pounds typically need a firmer bed to avoid feeling stuck in the mattress.

To help you understand whether the TEMPUR-ProAdapt Mattress is right for you, our testing team includes people of various body sizes and sleep styles.

Side Sleepers

The body-hugging feel of the TEMPUR-ProAdapt’s memory foam layers is especially comfortable for side sleepers. The mattress excels at relieving pressure around key areas like the hips and shoulders, which helps keep the spine properly aligned during sleep.

Side sleepers on our testing team who weigh less than 130 pounds preferred the plusher feels of the soft (3) and medium (5) models. Those weighing between 130 and 230 pounds liked the more balanced contouring of the all-foam medium option, while testers over 230 pounds enjoyed the more robust support of the firm (7) model.

Back Sleepers

Our back sleepers who weigh under 130 pounds preferred the medium firmness options, which delivered an excellent mix of cushioning and spinal support during our lab tests.

The soft and medium versions of the TEMPUR-ProAdapt lacked support for those over 230 pounds, with our testers noting that they sank too deeply into the bed’s memory foam. These sleepers preferred the firm option, with testers between 130 and 230 pounds giving it an excellent overall rating.

Stomach Sleepers

The stomach sleepers on our team generally did not find the soft and medium TEMPUR-ProAdapt models very comfortable or supportive. This is consistent with the preferences of most stomach sleepers, who usually opt for a firmer mattress that provides sturdy support under the abdomen to prevent excess bend in the lower back.

Only our testers under 130 pounds felt sufficiently supported by the medium models. However, the slightly less contouring feel of the firm option provided adequate support and cushioning for stomach sleepers of all body weights.

The TEMPUR-ProAdapt Mattress features two memory foam comfort layers. The support core is made with dense polyfoam in the all-foam models, while the hybrid mattress option features pocketed coils.

The firmness options are modulated by using different foam densities and variations of traditional TEMPUR foam to provide a plusher or firmer sleep surface.

• TEMPUR-ProAdapt Soft: This model includes 5 centimeters of TEMPUR-ES foam and 5 centimeters of TEMPUR-APR foam.
• TEMPUR-ProAdapt Medium All-Foam: This mattress has a top layer consisting of 5 centimeters of original TEMPUR foam with a second layer made with 5 centimeters of TEMPUR-APR foam.
• TEMPUR-ProAdapt Medium Hybrid: This version has a 6-centimeter top layer of soft TEMPUR-ES foam and a supportive second layer made with 4 centimeters of TEMPUR-APR foam.
• TEMPUR-ProAdapt Firm: This firmer model has a 3-centimeter layer of TEMPUR-APR foam on top of 5 centimeters of original TEMPUR foam.

The all-foam models contain a support core of dense polyfoam, while the hybrid model uses pocketed coils that add a slightly bouncy, responsive feel.

TEMPUR-ProAdapt Mattress Construction Layers

The TEMPUR-ProAdapt Mattress sits at the higher end of the price range for a luxury mattress. This model is not the right fit if you’re looking for a low-cost mattress. However, many people with a larger mattress budget appreciate Tempur-Pedic’s reputation and its reliably comfortable memory foam materials.

Which Tempur-Pedic Mattress Is Right for You?

Tempur-Pedic designed its mattress offerings to meet the needs of a wide range of budgets and comfort preferences. For example, the TEMPUR-Cloud comes in both all-foam and hybrid options and is more affordable than the TEMPUR-ProAdapt.

Other Tempur-Pedic models offer different materials and firmness levels. The firm versions of the TEMPUR-LuxeAdapt and TEMPUR-LUXEbreeze may be better for hot sleepers, while the TEMPUR-Adapt may be a good match for people who want a medium (5) firmness level and a reduced price-point.
