TEMPUR® Cloud Elite (Super King)

The one thing that all conventional (spring, waterbed, foam) mattresses have in common is that they force the user to conform to them. With TEMPUR^®, the mattress actually conforms to the body.

Engineered to conform to your body shape, when you lay on a TEMPUR^® mattress, not only will you experience pressure relieving properties, but also support where you need it for true, restful sleep.

YES! With our 100 night trial you can try out a TEMPUR^® mattress from any of our current collections listed online with the exception of products found in the Outlet section. (Unless indicated otherwise, mattresses listed in Outlet are excluded from our extended home trial.) We are confident you will love your new bed, but if you change your mind, simply get in touch and we will arrange to collect your order from you. Currently returns from a UK Mainland address are free, In the event this service is chargeable, the cost would be £72.00. We recommend you retain both your packaging and old mattress until you are certain TEMPUR^® is the right sleep solution for you. Please see our Returns Policy for further details.

No, in fact the TEMPUR^® mattress should never be turned.

One of the advantages of owning a TEMPUR^® mattress from our current collections* is that most models have removable washable covers. You can unzip, remove and machine wash the whole cover at up to either 40°C or 60°C depending on the mattress you have chosen. (This task is easier with two people.) In addition our Elite and Luxe models have been designed with QuickRefresh^™ tops. This means you only need unzip, remove and wash the top layer which you directly sleep on. It is important when you launder your mattress cover that you always follow the manufacturer's instructions which can be found on a label stitched inside.

We also recommend the use of a TEMPUR^® Mattress Protector to keep your bed nice and fresh.

*Because we are always looking to improve our products, TEMPUR^® owners of older models including those with Soft-Touch^™ covers, should check the care instructions of their mattress carefully. Some models such as the TEMPUR^® Celebrity 31 could have covers which cannot be removed or washed. For Soft-Touch^™ models with a QuickRefresh^™ removable top, please note this is only for airing your mattress. It may not be laundered.

As a general rule of thumb, if your mattress has TEMPUR^® Material embedded or quilted into the cover (this applies to the majority of older 'Deluxe' models and all Soft-Touch^™ models,) while it may be removed for airing, it is not washable. Any subsequent washing will invalidate your guarantee.

Please do not use an electric blanket with your TEMPUR^® mattress as the mattress works best with your natural body heat. There is a high possibility that use of an electric blanket will damage the pressure relieving properties of the TEMPUR^® Material, which unfortunately will invalidate your quality guarantee.

The TEMPUR^® pressure relieving material is composed of billions of viscoelastic spherical shaped, open cells. The cells respond to your body temperature and weight then shift and re-organise their position to mould to the exact contours of your body. It becomes softer in warmer areas (where your body is making the most contact with the surface) and remains firmer in cooler areas (where less body contact is being made). Due to the removal of pressure, blood is able to flow freely throughout the night, making you toss and turn less - in other words - you get a better night's sleep.

We get this question often, but in fact, sleeping warm on a TEMPUR^® mattress is not an issue that our owners raise frequently. Our mattresses are designed to respond to your body temperature, which activates their ability to conform to your body, offering support and reducing pressure points. It is worth noting that with the improved support and reduced pressure points on your body, sleeping on our mattresses can help increase circulation, so you may find you need lighter bedding. If you feel warmer, try using a lower tog duvet, breathable bedding and keep your room well ventilated.

At the heart of each mattress and pillow we create is our iconic TEMPUR^® Material, born from NASA technology. In the late 60s, NASA scientists invented a completely new material that was then used onboard the Space Shuttles. Our founders realized the material’s unique potential. So they took that original NASA invention and spent years perfecting it into TEMPUR^® Material and created the world’s first viscoelastic mattress and pillow.

First proving its value in the healthcare sector, TEMPUR^® is now found in bedrooms around the world, transforming the sleep of millions. It’s why we’re the only mattress and pillow brand recognised by NASA for improving the quality of life. This honour sets us apart, keeps us humble and inspires us to continually innovate, for sleep that’s out of this world - and it all started with those original NASA scientists.

1. One of the most reliable indicators of a mattress's comfort is the frequency of night time body position changes - tossing and turning. The fewer times you move, the better sleep you have.

2. Many people believe that waterbeds give you almost perfect support by allowing your body to ‘float’ in a natural position. In fact, due to displacement the waterbed creates what experts call the “hammock effect.” This is an unnatural and unhealthy curve of the spine resulting from improper support. The TEMPUR^® mattress allows your spine to rest in its natural position, giving you optimum sleeping posture and comfort.

3. Fully sprung mattresses covered by quilted thickly padded ticking mean you are lying on row after row of coiled sprung metal. This often creates pressure points that can cause painful joints and an aching back. The viscoelastic material in the TEMPUR^® mattress moulds to your body, adjusting to your body weight, and distributing it evenly, reducing pressure and providing maximum support. Our TEMPUR^® Hybrid Collection incorporates Precision^™ Micro Coils in the base layer for those customers who prefer a faster response, but want the benefits that TEMPUR^® Material brings too.

4. Several copy visco mattresses are available today, but they are not viscoelastic and do not have the density of the TEMPUR^® Material or its durability of 10 years. The TEMPUR^® open cell viscoelastic material moulds to the exact contours of your body, giving you maximum support and pressure relief where you need it most.
