Medium Mattresses

Why a medium mattress?

If you share a bed and cannot quite agree with your partner on soft or firm, this could well be the best solution. TEMPUR^® Sleep Scientists have spent decades working to ensure our medium feel mattresses are not only deeply comfortable, but also deliver the underlying support and pressure relieving properties you expect from TEMPUR^® Material. Here are some things you might like to consider before you make your final decision.

Sleeping position

If you are a side or front sleeper, then a medium feel mattress gives great all-round comfort for these positions, gently cradling your body while still providing pressure relief where you need it.

Sleeper frame size and body weight

If you consider yourself to be average sized, you will most likely experience quality sleep for longer on a medium mattress than a soft or firm one. There is no hard and fast industry guidance. If a person weighs 10-15 stone, then it is most probably that a medium feel mattress will provide better comfort and support. This does not mean to say people with either a larger or smaller frame cannot sleep well in a medium comfort bed either.

Now we come to one of the reasons why TEMPUR® is different: our mattresses have been engineered to suit all shapes and sizes. Ultimately it all comes down to what you like, which is why when you order online, direct from TEMPUR^®, we offer you the chance to take our 100 night mattress trial. Love it or send it back!

Your pillow

Just as important as the rest of your bed, the pillow is often overlooked. If your neck and shoulders are not aligned and comfortable, you may still not achieve restful sleep. We offer you a choice of pillow styles ranging from classic rectangular to ergonomic shaped ones. All are filled with pressure relieving TEMPUR^® Material. Every TEMPUR^® pillow is designed to offer optimal head and neck support. Our 30 night pillow trial means you can find out which one helps you to fall asleep faster, and stay asleep longer.
