Finding the right mattress is not easy. Tempur, with their large selection of different models, doesn't make this any easier.
Choosing the wrong mattress can negatively impact the quality of sleep. This makes choosing the right mattress incredibly important.
The right mattress depends on several factors. Height, body weight, and unique body characteristics, as well as preferences and requirements, all play a role in selecting the perfect mattress.
Tempur offers four basic models:
- Tempur Original
- Tempur Hybrid
- Tempur Cloud
- Tempur Sensation
Within these models, there are three further subcategories:
The individual models differ from each other with regard to composition and the feeling you have when lying down.
We'll give you an overview of each of the Tempur mattresses to aid your understanding.
Tempur Original mattress
The Tempur Original is the standard Tempur mattress. It provides a firm and supportive feeling and is the firmest mattress of the entire range. It is highly adaptable and offers outstanding comfort.
The Original mattresses use the special original Tempur material, the same material that was originally intended for astronauts going into space.
With a top layer of memory foam, the mattress feels comfortable and pleasant to lie on. But the underlying foam layers also offer sufficient stability so the body is well-supported.
Like with all Tempur mattresses, the Tempur Original has three subgroups: Luxe, Elite, and Supreme.
The covers of all Tempur Original mattresses feature CoolTouch technology, which keeps the fabric of the cover fresh and dry. The Luxe and Elite versions also have a Quickrefresh cover, which can be quickly and easily removed and washed.
The prices below are based on the single 90 x 190 cm mattresses.

Differences between the Tempur Original mattresses are particularly noticeable in terms of depth and composition.
The Original Supreme, with a height of 21 cm, is the lowest mattress and features only one layer of Durabase technology. It also uses the least amount of Tempur material. You could call the Supreme the most basic of the Tempur mattresses.
With a thickness of 30 cm, the Original Luxe is a more premium version. High mattresses are often recommended for elderly people with joint and back pain or hip problems as this makes it easier for them to get in and out of bed.
These distinctions between the Supreme, Elite, and Luxe versions are applicable to all Tempur mattresses.
Tempur Hybrid mattress
Tempur Hybrid mattresses combine the high-quality Tempur memory foam with built-in springs, which offer added elasticity and stability.
This hybrid composition is advantageous for people who miss the springy resilience of a normal foam mattress. Spring mattresses also often have better temperature control. People tend to sleep more warmly on memory foam since it stores more body heat.
Because the Hybrid mattress provides medium to firm support, slightly heavier people might prefer the dynamic adaptability of this mattress.
The combination of the innovative Tempur material and the Precision MicroCoils (dimensionally stable springs made of cold-formed steel) ensure optimum adjustment and support.
This support makes turning and moving around on the mattress easier, which some people find quite cumbersome on pure memory foam mattresses.
For this reason, Hybrid mattresses are particularly suitable for restless sleepers for whom a pure foam mattress would be less than ideal.
As with the Tempur Original mattress, the Tempur Hybrid is divided into the subgroups Luxe, Elite, and Supreme.
The prices below are based on the single 90 x 190 cm mattresses.

Tempur Cloud mattress
Those who prefer a softer mattress will be well served with the Tempur Cloud.
This collection offers the perfect medium between a soft feel and sufficient support. The extra-soft material adapts well to the body and also offers a pleasantly comfortable material to lie on. This creates the sensation of sleeping on a cloud, after which the mattress is named.
The Tempur Cloud is best suited for lighter- and medium-weight people. Restless and heavier-weight sleepers should rather choose a firmer mattress with a little more elasticity (e.g. the Tempur Hybrid).
Although the mattress supports you well (largely due to the base layers), the softer upper layers allow your body to sink in more deeply.
For lighter-weight people, the combination of the soft and relieving Tempur foam with a hard-wearing foam provides a pleasantly soft sensation when lying down.
As with the other Tempur models, the Cloud collection is divided into three subcategories: Luxe, Elite, and Supreme.
Again, the mattresses are divided into the usual price categories, so that the Cloud Luxe is the most expensive and the Cloud Supreme the cheapest mattress.
The prices below are based on the single 90 x 190 cm mattresses.

Tempur Sensation mattress
The Tempur Sensation has a medium-firm feel, but also offers the sleeper more freedom of movement.
Tempur describes the feeling of lying on the Sensation as "weightless". This is an allusion to the fact that movement on a memory foam mattress is often more difficult for many people.
This is not the case with the Tempur Sensation. The pressure-relieving memory foam is complemented by a Dynamic Support Layer that has a similar function to latex foam. The Tempur Sensation reminds us of the much more affordable Emma mattress.
Again, there are three subcategories within the Sensation collection, Luxe, Elite, and Supreme.
The prices below are based on the single 90 x 190 cm mattresses.

The difference to the Tempur Original mattress is not directly visible but lies in the base layers of the mattress.
While the Sensation has that extra support layer, the Original mattress is based solely on Durabase technology and support foam.
The Sensation is thus slightly softer and more flexible, with greater elasticity.
