Tempur-Pedic - Tempur-Cloud Elite

I've had a tempur cloud elite mattress for about 5 years now - it can get a little bit hot especially if you don't have aircon but i don't think i've dealt with any sag or loss of quality! The only thing is i alternate between side and back sleeping and it can be a bit too firm for side sleepers, although I suspect this is an issue because of the alternating rather than the mattress itself. I paid 1.8k GBP in 2020 (as i was in the UK at the time).

What mattress would you recommend for me with Lower back pain? I’ve had a Tempur pedic king cloud for now 10 years but my Lower back has been coming back since two months ago. I sleep in my belly/side sleeping I tried new Breeze luxe from Tempur pedic and feels good but it’s nearly 7k for that…. I am also 5”10 weight 265 What would be your top pick?

I've tested more than 100 mattresses, and if I had $2,000, I'd get the Tempur-Cloud. It does an amazing job of contouring to your body, but not everyone loves the Tempur foam. My runner-up would be the Leesa Sapira.

I love Tempurpedic. As a mattress reviewer, I've slept on three models. My favorite is the Cloud, but they all have the Tempur foam, which I've found does an amazing job of contouring to your body. But, it isn't for everyone. Some people are off put by it. I have found they're durable, and the warranty does cover indentation up to 0.75 inches. Most other warranties I've seen are 1.5 inches. https://preview.redd.it/on974f7l5shg1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=afc7505ebfbc5d8491eadf11263f2be8cf3474f3

Also going to agree with another person that s Tempurpedic is hot in summer and in winter it turns so hard and lumpy from cold. I had one a Cloud. Never buy another one 

I purchased the cloud. It was so hot to sleep on.

Bought a tempurpedic cloud around 14 years ago and it changed my life

Tempurpedic soft. It’s a myth you need a firm mattress. Helps my back soooo much

Full memory foam helped me. Tempurpedic

With your size and weight, finding something supportive but not too firm can be a challenge. You might have to try quite a few mattresses - in stores and using trial periods.  I’m 5’3” and ca. 120 pounds, and lots of mattress trials over the last 3 years taught me that most mattresses labelled “medium-firm” and many mattresses labelled “medium”  feel either painfully hard or actually too soft (when there are thicker comfort layers and my body isn’t heavy enough to “interact” with the support layer). So here’s what I learned - of course not everything will apply to you: 1) mattresses for teenagers / children can be more suitable although they’re often thinner than mainstream mattresses for adults; definitely worth a try. 2) a mattress for a lightweight adult needs to be of a softer firmness throughout (not just a soft comfort layer). This is more expensive to make, or at least make well, and mostly it’s higher-end mattress makers that bother with it (eg Vispring). 3) what can work is a simple mattress with “medium” pocket springs or coils (not “medium-firm”!) plus a high-quality foam topper, eg Tempuroedic or soft Talalay latex. 4) Memory foam: Dormeo has some medium-soft mattresses in your price range; however, medium-soft usually means a thicker layer of soft memory foam & too much sinkage for your taste; I didn’t like it in the end.   The current Emma hybrids are relatively soft and can work for lightweight sleepers;  I didn’t like the feel of how the foam compressed   A Tempurpedic “soft” might have the right feel and support; their outlet store sometimes has mattresses in your price range or just a bit over 5) non-memory polyfoam: can be amazing if it has just the right density. Over decades of mattress troubles I only had one type of polyfoam mattress that felt just right for me (German company). 6) Latex: can be amazing for petite bodies. I currently sleep on an all-latex mattress, 6” medium dunlop, 2” soft talalay. This is better than anything else I tried; still feel there’s a bit too much push back (what makes it feel too firm) and will try an altogether softer setup.

This is my story! Side-sleeper with an expensive memory foam mattress (Tempurdic) is killing my back.

I’ve slept on Tempurpedic (high end memory foam) as have family members. Some have it twenty years. Some 15. Super comfortable to the point of no tossing and turning. Also have had Stearns and Foster high end (lux estate) for 15-18 years (traditional coils but over 2000 in queen mattress). The most comfortable coil matt I’ve owned. Tempurpedic has a warranty stating you won’t get more than 3/4” body imprint over 10 years. All the other mattresses I’ve owned allow up to 1 3/4” body imprint over 10 years. In many ways you get what you pay for. The more money- the higher quality materials and the comfort lasts much longer. The brands I’ve mention currently run around $3500 for queen mattress.

Yeah I think so. Softer mattresses won't last as long but will be more comfortable and help with pressure points. At the end of the day you just want to pick the one that feels best for you. I had a Tempur-Pedic higher end model once that was excellent at reducing pressure points but it didn't last quite as long as I hoped it would and they're expensive. You could also consider a split King bed which is essentially just two Twin XL mattresses next to each other (same as King) so you could each pick out your own mattress.
