Do Not Waste Your Hard Earned Money!

published

While I cannot fault the comfort of our mattress (although extremely hot to sleep on), our experience with Tempur has been less than satisfactory. Our mattress developed depressions on both sides of the bed. Tempur’s warranty conditions ‘allowed’ us to replace the mattress at 30% of our original purchase price for every year over an initial five year period, effectively paying tempur $3600.00 to replace a faulty mattress that we have already outlayed $6000.00 for. Trying to reach a conclusion was the biggest, most time consuming and labour extensive exercise ever. With zero result. I would never recommend this company/brand/product to anyone who values the products they invest in as this one is not worth it.

Purchased in November 2021 at Forty Winks for A$6,000.00.

Has been great

published

Our Tempur mattress is 12 years old & now ready for replacing. There was no compression of the foam until about 8years in. I have always loved it, although as it is a high density foam it has been warm on those hot summer nights, something we were anticipating. I will absolutely be replacing it with a Tempur. Although not for everyone, it was perfect for us.



Purchased in September 2021 for A$2,399.00.

Extremely comfortable

published

We bought this new bed a couple of months ago. We have a pair of long singles placed together. The Tempur mattresses are incredibly comfortable. We both love them. They are soft and at the same time, very supportive. I have arthritis in my hips and I found that with our previous innerspring mattress, after a short while it was painful to lie on my side (my normal sleep position). With the Tempur mattress there is absolutely no sensation of pressure that would cause me pain. The mattresses are very supportive and do not cause back pain as some soft mattresses do.
We bought from the Bed Shed at Aspley in Brisbane. They were very helpful.

Worth every penny

published

I'm so glad I went with my gut instinct and assumed that the majority of people who write on review sites are unhappy. The feedback on the Tempur Original was fairly negative but I'd slept on one for a week when I was house sitting so I just had to convince my partner. Best. Purchase. Ever. It took a couple of nights to get used to but after 4 weeks I wake up every morning feeling rested, I don't wake up when my partner rolls over in the night and have even stayed sleeping when he got out of bed. I have struggled with poor sleep quality for a number of years. Who knew that a mattress would solve that.

Very comfortable but terribly hot in summer.

published

We bought our mattress in August last year and it was great until it got hot at night. We wanted to take it back after the first month and then realised that we did not have a waterproof mattress protector per the fine print in the bed shed contract. So we paid nearly $3000 for a dud.

Very comfortable

published

Very comfortable, as long as you can insulate yourself from the build up of heat during sleeping. Have used a 2 inch bamboo cushioned mattress liner which goes part way to achieving this end. Inquiry be email to Company Product Support brought no response, which unfortunately leads to us never purchasing Tempura products again.

As expected better than the cheaper foam imatation we had before

published

It great as expected except the mattress cover and fitted sheet keeps twisting not certain that that has anything to do with the mattress but it didn't happen with our last one so it must be the fabric that covers the mattress.

Must Buy !!!

published

You will get what you paid for !!! You will be able to sleep through comfortably even if you sleep with an elephant bouncing up and down.
I had a shoulder ache with any other mattress, but this bed fixed it.
It does get a bit warm when the room is very hot in summer, but it's not a problem if you use an aircon.

Give it some time

published

We bought a King sized Tempur as I have a terrible back from lifting. After the first few weeks I emailed the retailer telling him it was excruciating and I hated it. He was great and offered some alternatives.
In the meantime I saw my Chiro and did some stretching ...... fast forward to 3mths and I love it.
I stayed in a hotel last weekend and being a side sleeper, it wasn't long until my shoulder hurt. Came home to the Tempur and it felt great.
It's such a different feel that it really took me some time. Now I'm totally happy. Give it some time

Absolutely worst mattresses ever made

published

It's actually a Rhapsody 30. When I first bought this bed I had enormous back pain as a direct result of the bed. The tempur sales rep came out to investigate and I have persisted with the bed. Whilst it has improved, it has never been a comfortable bed and almost every morning I wake up stiff and sore from the bed. I've never had a good night's sleep with the bed. I think Tempur beds are terrible and that it's mostly marketing and hype that has given tempur its reputation. I suppose good on them. I'm going to sell the bed as I hate it so much and go back to a reliable, trusted brand. Such a shame.

Can you use an electric blanket

1 answer

I suggest you check with a retailer who stocks Tempur. We don't use an electric blanket, but if you are unsure about using one with a Tempur mattress, maybe you could place a woollen blanket under the electric blanket to keep the heat away from the mattress. However, I suggest you check with a retailer to be sure. BTW, we love the Tempur mattress.
