We tried the ProAdapt firm and also loved it but were scared off by the price tag. We ended up with the TempurPedic Supreme Firm from Costco and love it. We think it feels similar and it was almost half the price, plus the Costco backing and right now they have a $300 gift card promotion too.
This may not sound like the answer you're looking for - but my girlfriend, who has hip issues, and I, who have low back issues and have had crazy bad sciatica, found that the Tempurpedic ProAdapt Firm really worked for us. My cousin had one in his guest room - when we first sat on it, we both thought it was going to be way too firm - but once we laid on it for a while, it turned out to have enough cushioning while remaining very supportive. We both woke up amazed at how good it was. (And I'm a side sleeper.) So we ended up buying one. That said, I did try out the $5000 Williams Co. St. James Firm in a store and if money was no object, that would be my first choice.
Def do NOT get the firm, I tried the medium in store. One thing I dislike it that it has the quick sand feel where you sink in slowly and when you switch from side to back, the foam reacts VERY slow as its not responsive. Make sure you are okay with that when you try the Medium in store.
My wife and I got a Tempurpedic California King split that has finished dimensions 84 X 36 X 12.2 IN So 7' long. I'm 6' 11" 230 pounds. I like a firm mattress and this is "proadapt firm" and is first mattress that hasn't eventually slumped for me (2.5 years in at this point). Also because the bed frame comes with remote for adjustments (raise head or legs) it also has ability to raise lumbar support, but haven't needed that yet. Previously tried Saatva Firm and was good initially but eventually had enough dip for my lower back to notice. LPT: Get a prescription from your doctor saying you need a special mattress, to buy tax free (at least in Texas). Also wait for holiday sales to buy (memorial day etc).
I agree. I would start with the pro adapt firm and also try the luxe adapt firm. Those are going to be the closest to the contour series. Start there.
Tempur rep here, so I’m biased but I can speak on the warranty. The 10 year warranty covers 3/4th of an inch of Visible sag. Not felt sag, visible. Almost every company does this though as feel sag is almost impossible to quantify. Most mattresses are 1-1.5 inches of sag before you can make a warranty claim. As the other poster mentioned, yes, if you want your former mattress removed you need to do get a mattress, it’s 1 for 1, one base for one base etc. As a heads up, the ProAdapt Firm is the firmest mattress for us, and is probably the most returned mattress because fresh out of delivery they are all much more firm. Another person here described it as concrete and I’m not disagreeing. The one you felt was a floor model that is what the PAF will feel like in 2-4 months. If you’d be so kind to shoot me a dm as I have a question about the prices you’re looking at and your location. Thank you.
So remember I can only speak in broad strokes regarding things like this. That said, I’d lean towards no but not by a lot. If you lay on your stomach you may want to go with a firmer mattress in general. The LuxeAdapt firm would probably still not be firm enough (possibly) and the ProAdapt firm is too hard. If you were considering it though, still go with the Med Hybrid over the medium as I tell my customers it feels more like laying on the bed vs laying in bed. Again my suggestion is for everyone to go try one out at a store for as long as you can, multiple times.
This. It sucks but the best thing to do is go spend an hour at least trying out different beds in person. If you go off only bad reviews you will never find a new bed. Find a store that has good reviews about the salespeople there, and let them guide you. They are there to help. Helping you helps them make money, so it’s in their best interests to get it right the first time. Understand certain bed’s quirks, like tempur-pedics take time to break in, Beauty Rest Black have been get lots of returns etc.
Hi, I have had my "Euro-Tempurpedic" for almost 20years now. It is still firm and wonderful. But I need to replace it. It was sold in the "Rhapsody" days for those that have that model. It was very very firm. It still looks like new and almost as firm as the day I bought it. But it's a king and we can't lift it anymore or even rotate it. So I need to buy split king size. My problem is I was going to get a Adapt-Pro Firm Tempurpedic but I see all the things about not making them like they used to. I can't have a mattress sagging in a few years. I will have an adjustable base under it (now I have the Tempurpedic Foundation which is still also in great shape). Any suggestions on something that will stay as firm in a few years? My current Euro Tempurpedic was my best investment! I appreciate any advice.
we have been doing ok with our pro adapt, firm. but since we got the adjustable base at the same time, it's all be a lot to get used to. And, yes, I miss my old Euro TempurPedic and they are NOT the same company they used to be. But I am not in any pain, so the new mattress is ok so far. I would recommend, as long as you don't expect it to be like the older ones.
I would go with the ProAdapt Medium. The ProAdapt Firm is one of our firmest models, and it's a solid mattress and good quality.... it's just sooo firm that it's often exchanged for the medium of the same line. You're already sleeping sore on your side, that's your body telling you that you need pressure relief. The ProAdapt Firm isn't going to help you with that.
The ProAdapt and the ProBreeze are similar, they just swap on layer for the cooling material. I believe the ProAdapt might have just a tad more comfort material on top, but both should feel very similar. I personally prefer the Breeze, and went with the LuxeBreeze Soft. It's not just about sleeping cooler, but to help you sleep in a temperature neutral state. So you don't freeze in the bed, but don't overheat either. If you don't necessarily need or desire any of the temperature regulation, then I would go with the ProAdapt. Also, Tempur-Pedic sells more than just one adjustable base. If you are wanting just the basic head and feet lifting, you can get the Ease in a king size for around $1,200. That does the basic head and feet lifting, offers a zero gravity preset, and is zero clearance so it can lay flat on your bed frame.
My grandparents absolutely love Stearns & Foster mattresses. While I do prefer my super soft Tempur-Pedic mattress, whenever we visit them in Arizona we all sleep great. Once again, I know I am the favorite grandchild because they recently replaced one of the guest bed mattresses with a soft hybrid Stearns & Foster. I would say if you are looking for a more traditional innerspring mattress, I would start with Stearns & Foster.
Tempur-Pedic mattresses are warrantied for ten years, but they can typically last between 12-15 years. I have seen plenty of customers who still have one from 18+ years ago. As someone with back pain after two car accidents, Tempur has been the only one that I could sleep on that actually helps take most of the pain away. The pain never really goes away unfortunately. I opted not to go for spinal disc replacement and instead go for a nerve ablation. Anyways, to answer you question. 1. At least 10 years, but can last longer than that. 2. No, you can not flip them. You can try rotating them if you feel like it may help. 3. That I can't answer, there are a lot of factors that go into recommending mattresses when it comes to someone's personal back pain. I can make some recommendations. If you wanted to stick with Tempur-Pedic I would look at the LuxeAdapt Medium Hybrid. If your okay with jumping ship, then I would look at the Sealy Elite Hybrid. The Sealy is zoned with extra coils that can add extra lift and support to the lower back. Both of those have a nice soft top that can give pressure relief. I wish you both the best of luck, and if you can think of any other questions, feel free to ask,
