This mattress sucks

published

Not worth the money, tempur used to have the best mattresses now they are crap. I’m in so much pain, the firm mattress has no support. No help from Tempur or Snooze to fix the issues.

Purchased in July 2021 at Snooze for A$7,000.00.

Cannot find a fitted sheet to fit

published

We cannot find a fitted sheet anywhere to fit our very expensive mattress. We love the feel of it but normal KS sheets swim on it at only 25cms deep.

Purchased in August 2021 at Harvey Norman.

Those stores sell your bed, NOT sheets to fit. Was informed to try the 'cheap' stores Kmart & BigW who do have 35cm walled sheets. No use giving me your email, you've ignored the 2 emails I sent.

back killer overpriced rubbish

published

The Company that created the tempur mattress need to be held accountable selling a overpriced uncomfortable overheating mattress and i'm guessing has never slept on one, otherwise would not have put this product on the market and no refund or replacement which shows once they get your money .they don't want anything more to do with you . UPDATE please do not buy a tempur it is the mattress from HELL .now under medical treatment for my back which was fine until I brought this mattress. the store I purchased from will not help and neither will tempur

Purchased in April 2021 at Snooze NSW, Kotara for A$4,000.00.

Reviews don’t lie- worst bad pain, got worse over time

published

We thought this was the best mattress ever when we bought it 6 or so years ago. Over time it has continued to soften and provide less and less support. The past six months my husband and I have been waking with terrible lower back pain and only in the last couple of months put it down to our Tempur mattress. Reading the reviews here confirm how bad these mattresses get over time. All the customers with good reviews only bought theirs in late 2017 or 2018. Good luck in a year or two!!

Purchased in December 2021 at Domayne.

The bed and customer service are beyond pathetic. the product is overpriced and offers insufficient support

I believe it offers no support and also worsened my lower back issues trying to come up with a solution with the company and they did not care at all

This mattress was only fit for purpose for 6 months but was supposed to last for many years. It is only now that I have the time to pursue Tempur and I will.

Great at first but that didn’t last

published

Our tempur mattress was great when we first got it 4 years ago however at the almost 3 year mark the mattress started to collapse on my husband’s side (average size male). When I called customer service (any issues with tempur needs to be dealt with through them not at place of purchase) they said it had to have a certain depth measurement for it to be considered for replacement. It is a ridiculous measurement and in saying that ours was only half a cm off. Not very happy with this product or customer service. If I had to recommend one it would be HB Beard. Our daughter has one and it’s so comfortable!

Great Product Support

published

I had my Tempur Cloud 22 for 5 years when sagging occurred (not common fault and loved the mattress). The Tempur Australia team were very helpful. One year ago i provided photos and other requirements. The Cloud 22 was promptly replaced. I am once again in awe of the mattress, no pins and needles in hands and feet (as experienced previous mattresses owned), I don't find it hot. Love how light it is for making the bed. Thank you Tempur Australia, I can't see myself on any other brand of mattress. A special mention for Dimity from Tempur. Outstanding.

Warranty not honoured

published

The firmness collapsed after 1 Yr and tried to get a claim and was told that this was normal. So when you choose medium firmness after 1 Yr old you get really soft and no support that's right I was told. Never again.

It will get very soft very soon

published

I bought this mattress from Harvey Norman, specifically ask for a hard/firm one and got recommend a Tempur. It was firm at first, then... it just gets softer and softer. get to the point that I can't stand the back pain anymore. Have finally bought an all latex one and my back pain is gone. Do not buy it, for the price tag it just does not worth it.

Don’t believe the hype

published

After 8.5 years with a King Koil we needed to replace our mattress. We believed the hype of the wine glass on one corner and someone jumping on the opposite without the wine glass tipping, and thought this was for us.

We got it in the Boxing Day sale from Harvey Norman, and it got delivered TWO MONTHS later! That was the start. Then we complained. Then, after 6months and 5 times of asking them (Harvey Norman customer service) to call the correct mobile number, we were told we come exchange.

The Tempur mattress performed as well as our 8.5year old King Koil in terms of partner disturbance (shockingly bad), was hot as hell (the irony of it supposedly being a ‘cool touch’) and resulting in one of us needing sleeping pills!

Date PurchasedDec 2017

worst costumer service

published

Purchase a mattress and after two weeks of using it I was experiencing back aches and waking up so stiff. I put a claim through and had a rep named [Name Removed] come out and rotated the mattress( tempur claim that you never need to rotate there mattresses) after rotation my husband is experiencing the back aches. According to tempur the pain experiencing is my body adjusting and aligning to the mattress. I believe I purchased a faulty mattress that is firmer on one side and not the other. According to the rep it’s because of my bed frame with is a total bull. My cheaper mattress of 10 years did a better job.

Cloud Elite

I have just purchased one yesterday Cloud Elite Touch from Snooze and after reading so many negatives I am seriously worried that I have wasted my $4000 which is a lot. The delivery date is nearly 2 weeks away and now thinking of cancelling the order and just buy a plush conventional mattress. There has not been one comment that has praised the mattress.

Cancel!! Get your money back! Get a sleeping duck mattress which has full money back guarantee and 100 nights to trial your mattress. Tempur is a waste of money.

Thanks Kelly, unfortunately it arrives on Wednesday, I am concerned but I have spoken to their hierarchy in Melbourne and hopefully I am going to be happy with the product it is very costly if it doesn't suit. I have pain in pressure points and a side sleeper and needed to change and whilst the shop encourages you to try for 5 minutes it will never be enough.

Cloud Elite

I tried out Tempur Cloud Collection with exclusive options available to either Snooze or Harvey Norman
I was in HEAVEN!!! My back aches most of the time, but worse after trying 2 new mattresses that are two firm.. So this seemed like a wonderful solution- I want the whole shebang! Adjustable base and all.
BUT reading these reviews, I'm terrified since it is a MASSIVE investment.!
My last two mattresses had a trial period... so no risk taken and even if there was $1000 is not alot to lose.
I don't know who to trust! Being a single mumma of mature age with a toddler and 7 year old, having been in a serious MVA injuring my back and suffering fibromyalgia, I really really need a good mattress- SLeep and support are essential!!!!!
With that many negative reviews,.. well it's very very very hard to trust the promise made by Tempur.
I wish you could convince me otherwise as I'ce never felt such an amazing comfort as the 10 minutes in store! - but that is not going to tell me what my back wll be like the next day!

Hi, I hear you. I was in the same predicament. I have neck pain all the time (radiculopathy). I persuaded my self to buy the whole setup. After $7,000 I realised I am genuinely not very satisfied with my purchase. I mean yes it feels luxurious and comfortable but support wise it’s just not there unless you are using the lift options on the bed via the remote to help you get out. I purchased mine from Domayne at Melbourne Central. I am not a heavy person and fall within the healthy range of my BMI.

After two years I noticed the mattress has a dip. I called the customer service and was advised it has to be a 2 cm for them to replace it as per their t&c’s.

The massage option is not a real massage option but rather a vibrating effect . Honestly all in all I would not purchase another Tempur mattress again. I would rather get a premium quality mattress with a nice pillow top. I say this because my brother and I got our mattress at the same time and mind you he is beyond the healthy BMI range and his mattress is still in shape and yet soft.

A cheat way I found that works is using a super plush pillow topper on a good quality mattress and boom you have a super premium mattress.

We bought a Tempur Nova Elite Cloud Soft King mattress from Harvey Norman because we had tried a memory foam topper on our old mattress & loved the feel but didn't like the fact it kept moving. I have two prolapsed discs in my neck & issues with my shoulders but a side sleeper & find the new mattress brilliant with my memory foam shaped pillow as well. I just wished we'd bought a deeper one (ours is only 25cms) as it is difficult to buy sheets for it.

can i use a woollen underlay on my tempur mattress with a tempur adjustable bed?

3 answers
Tempur
Lewis C.Tempur

Hi, Max.

You should be able to use an underlay with no issues regarding adjustment, however, this may compromise the feeling or support of the mattress itself as the underlay will get in between you and the mattress.

Hope this helps & answers your query.

Please contact our customer service department if you have any further questions on 1300 306 062 or [email protected].
