TEMPUR-ProAdapt Soft (Previous Generation)

Hi everyone, looking to see if anyone can give advice with my pictures. I live in a country where it’s hard to find a mattress that isn’t very firm and fits my body shape (broad shoulders, small waist). The only way I can find anything is if I go with international Tempur or Simmons. I’m 6’1” 185cm, 205lb 93kg, sleep hot and side sleeper. In my two pictures, the first is the Tempur Pro Luxe Medium. This one felt really good on my shoulders and my back felt fine. However, I was hoping for a second opinion on my spinal alignment for longer sleep times. It looks and felt like I sink far into the mattress which might be as designed for that “cradling” feeling and might get better with sheets? I’m looking to see if I can find a Pro Luxe Medium-Firm to try but I fear it may not be comfortable on my shoulders. The second photo is the Tempur Pro Plus Medium. This one felt good on my back but my shoulder was crammed. The Soft feels slightly better but my back doesn’t feel supported. My back is definitely more important, but I’ll go without the Luxe for the best of both worlds if it looks fine. I appreciate any help and thank you!

Thanks for the response, yeah unfortunately I can’t get the American models here and 0 return policy. I actually went with green headboard (picture 1) Pro Luxe Medium. I went and tested again and green looked better because my shoulder was crammed up against the pillow. When they gave me a better pillow, it looked like how picture 1 does. The shop I went to the medium was a lot more firm so I hope it’ll work out.

Ok I’m actually changing back to tempur pedic we slept on for ten years and loved. Bought the pro adapt soft. Husband worried we should do medium. Thoughts?

Def not firm. I’d try them in store if you can. We had a medium hybrid for a few years and hated it. It never broken in and gave me terrible hip/lower back pain. We sold it at a loss and recently got the Pro Adapt Soft and love it for side sleeping.

You’re about 15 - 20kg heavier than me but same specs otherwise: 185cm, broad shoulders, narrow waist I recently went with the Tempur Pro Plus Soft and was debating either that or the Pro Luxe Medium/ Pro Plus Medium I think for you the pro luxe medium would be a safe bet. I know what you mean about shoulders, I had to go for the soft for my shoulders to fit in. If you’re used to firm mattresses the softer tempur stuff will make you feel like you’re unsupported but you’ll be fine, irrespective of how soft they are, your back eventually sinks into the support layers and it feels firm and stable. If you can afford it, go for the Luxe medium

If you run hot consider a bit more and look at the ProBreeze as the older adapts can run a little hot. Also I work at Tempurpedic so take this with a bias, but I also used to work at a bigger retail store that sold several brands, and Nectar was one of the most returned mattresses. To me it’s not comparable.

The Costco Tempur is made with older materials and an older formula than the newer models, so it’ll run a bit warmer as well and have a bit more firmness to it, but less overall support. Good option for the price plus costcos great return policy, but not as good as what you can get.

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.
