Wonder why the Tempur mattresses stand out? Check out our in-depth review where our mattress testers put the Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-LuxeAdapt through various pressure relief, temperature and motion isolation tests.

»

The LuxeAdapt® is one of the most luxurious in Tempur-Pedic’s Adapt® collection. This mattress comes with 40 percent more TEMPUR® foam than found in other models. On top of that, it contains TEMPUR-APR+™ foam, which the brand says gives it roughly 30 percent more conforming comfort.

With all these design perks, this bed caters to the luxury shopper who loves a cozy bed to sleep on. This mattress is available in Soft, Medium Hybrid, and Firm, but we’re reviewing the Soft model and will cover everything you need to know about this bed.

Pros

Motion isolation – The LuxeAdapt® has excellent motion isolation so you’re less likely to notice a partner or pet moving around at night.

Pressure relief – The LuxeAdapt® has great pressure-relieving capabilities, hugging the body and soothing sensitive joints.

Free white glove delivery – This means a professional team sets up the mattress for you at no extra charge.

Cons

Harder to move on – The slow-moving foam could mean that some people might find it difficult to move around on this bed.

Weaker edge support – This mattress doesn’t have the best edge support.

Limited sizing – The LuxeAdapt® mattress isn’t available in a Twin or Full size.

Who We Recommend the TEMPUR-LuxeAdapt® For:

• People with joint pain – The TEMPUR-LuxeAdapt® mattress offers excellent pressure relief, which is good news if you’re dealing with sensitive and achy joints. 

---

• Light to average-weight side sleepers – We think lightweight and average-weight side sleepers are the best groups for the LuxeAdapt® Soft model.

---

• Lightweight back sleepers – Back sleepers under 130 pounds should benefit from this Tempur-Pedic mattress. The foams allow enough pressure relief without taking away from the support.

Who We Don’t Recommend the TEMPUR-LuxeAdapt® For:

• Heavyweight sleepers – Unfortunately, we found the LuxeAdapt® to be too soft for plus-size sleepers over 230 pounds. Instead, we recommend seeing our picks for the top mattresses for heavy people.

---

• Stomach sleepers – Stomach sleepers need extra support for the hips to stay elevated, which we think the LuxeAdapt® might struggle with. This mattress is likely too soft to do the job, but you might want to try the Firm model. 

---

• Average to heavyweight back sleepers – Back sleepers, weighing above 130 pounds are likely to experience this bed as too soft. The plush foam layers are not firm enough to keep the lower back elevated in this position.

Customer Reviews of the TEMPUR-LuxeAdapt® Mattress

On the Tempur-Pedic website, the Luxe-Adapt mattress is rated 4.3 out of 5 stars, based on over 10,500 reviews. Customers rave about the LuxeAdapt® for its exceptional pressure relief and adaptability to body shape, but some consider its high cost a significant drawback.

Testing the TEMPUR-LuxeAdapt® Mattress

Sleep Advisor’s Testing Methodology

Firmness & Feel

Firmness Scale: 5/10

We use a firmness scale from 1 to 10 to better explain the overall feel, with 10 being the firmest feel possible. The Soft LuxeAdapt® feels like a 5 out of 10 on our scale, which we’d describe as medium-plush. In most cases, this works better for people under 130 pounds, along with some average-weight sleepers, depending on their preferred sleeping position. We wouldn’t recommend it for heavy people.

Since this mattress comes in several other firmness levels, we’ve created the chart below to help you match your sleeping position to the ideal TEMPUR-LuxeAdapt® firmness option.

SLEEPING POSITION	BEST TEMPUR-LUXEADAPT® FIRMNESS OPTION
Side Sleeper	Soft and Medium Hybrid
Back Sleeper	Medium Hybrid
Stomach Sleeper	Medium Hybrid and Firm
Combination Sleeper	Medium Hybrid

How Does the TEMPUR-LuxeAdapt® Feel?

When we pressed into the surface, we could see how slowly the foam moved. Lying on the bed, our testers noticed the foam gently contouring and hugging them. This should make most people feel like they’re sleeping ‘in’ a mattress rather than on it, which is great for people with pressure buildup but not so great for combination sleepers or people with limited mobility.

Sleeping Positions for Different Body Types

Tempur-Pedic says their mattresses don’t have an official weight limit.

Side Sleepers

Body Type	Weight Range	Tester Feedback
Lightweight Sleepers	Less than 130 pounds	We think lightweight side sleepers should like how the LuxeAdapt® contours their curves, offering deep sinkage and excellent pressure relief in this position.
Average-Weight Sleepers	130-230 pounds	We think this Tempur-Pedic mattress is a good match for side sleepers weighing 130 to 230 pounds. Most people should still sink deeply into the comfort layers while the spine stays aligned.
Heavyweight Sleepers	More than 230 pounds	After testing this bed, we wouldn’t recommend it for heavy side sleepers because it’s just too soft.

Back Sleepers

Body Type	Weight Range	Tester Feedback
Lightweight Sleepers	Less than 130 pounds	If you’re under 130 pounds, you probably won’t sink so much that you throw your spine out of alignment. That said, there might be some people who still want a slightly firmer feel, in which case the Medium Hybrid version could work.
Average-Weight Sleepers	130-230 pounds	We don’t think this LuxeAdapt® is a good choice for average-weight back sleepers as it’s too soft. Instead, you might want to try the Medium Hybrid or Firm model, which should do a better job of keeping your hips elevated.
Heavyweight Sleepers	More than 230 pounds	Again, this isn’t a good option for heavier sleepers. Our testers found their hips sinking too deeply into the foam, which can compromise spine alignment and lead to discomfort.

Stomach Sleepers

Body Type	Weight Range	Tester Feedback
Lightweight Sleepers	Less than 130 pounds	Stomach sleepers need a lot of support for the hips and this Tempur-Pedic might be too soft to provide that.
Average-Weight Sleepers	130-230 pounds	Same thing here. We don’t recommend this for average-weight stomach sleepers.
Heavyweight Sleepers	More than 230 pounds	We think heavy stomach sleepers should go for a different mattress that’s firmer and more supportive. Instead, take a look at the Titan Plus, which our team recommends for plus-size stomach sleepers.

The Tempur-Pudic TEMPUR-LuxeAdapt® should make you feel like you’re sleeping on a cloud. This mattress is plush and soft enough to help relieve pressure around the hips, shoulders, and knees. If you’re in need of exceptional pressure relief for achy joints or muscles, we think you’ll like this plush bed.

Is the TEMPUR-LuxeAdapt® Good for Pain Relief?

Whether the TEMPUR-LuxeAdapt® is good for pain relief will depend on your body weight and preferred sleep position. While we think it has a lot to offer in terms of pressure relief, its softer feel could impact spine alignment for some folks, which may worsen the pain.

Back Pain	This mattress should do a good job of relieving pressure in the lower back area, but only for those 130 pounds or less. Anyone heavier might experience too much sinkage, especially when sleeping on the back, which we think can make back pain even worse. Read more about mattresses for back pain here.
Hip Pain	Lightweight to average-weight people with hip pain should like how the LuxeAdapt® feels around the hips. Even side sleepers should experience enough relief thanks to this bed’s overall plushness. Read more about mattresses for hip pain here.
Shoulder Pain	The LuxeAdapt® provides a deep hug with plenty of pressure relief, which is great news for people with shoulder pain. However, be mindful of your weight once again. We think it should feel nice for average-weight side sleepers, but anyone over 230 pounds might feel their shoulder pain getting worse. Explore more mattresses for shoulder pain here.

While that plushness at the top is excellent for pressure relief, it can make things complicated for support. The LuxeAdapt® has a high-density base layer for support, but if you’re particularly heavy, you’ll probably still sink too much. 

However, lightweight to average-weight sleepers should experience good support, especially when sleeping on the side. We think back sleepers in general, might prefer a firmer version of this bed. Because of its limited support for different body types and sleep positions, we only gave it a 3.5 out of out of 5 here.

Motion isolation is crucial for couples and co-sleepers with different sleeping habits. Whether you sleep with a partner, kid, or your pet, you might feel most of their tossing and turning if you’re a light sleeper. In this case, we think motion isolation should be among your top priorities. 

We found the TEMPUR-LuxeAdapt® to have excellent motion isolation mostly thanks to its all-foam construction. This means light sleepers should be able to sleep through most of their co-sleeper’s movements on the other side of the bed.

All-foam mattresses tend to trap heat and make it difficult for hot sleepers to achieve a good night’s sleep. However, Tempur-Pedic focused on addressing this concern by incorporating multiple cooling features in the TEMPUR-LuxeAdapt® mattress. This all-foam bed has a cover with phase change material that helps release heat so that it doesn’t stay trapped within the bed.

However, you should keep in mind that more pronounced sinkage could make you feel hot, which is why we took off a point. If you’re a particularly hot sleeper, we suggest you look at other cooling mattresses that might allow more airflow.

When we tested the LuxeAdapt®, we noticed it had zero bounce. The deep hug it provides with its slow-moving memory foam is excellent for pressure relief but not ideal for buoyancy and responsiveness. When you press into the layers, you can see them coming back to shape slowly and with no springiness. 

This is good news for those focused on motion isolation, but we think it might be a dealbreaker for people with limited mobility.

Edge support is another category we always test for, and in the case of the TEMPUR-LuxeAdapt® Soft model, we were left wanting more. This bed doesn’t have the best edge support, mostly because it’s made from soft foam. The mattress is soft across the surface, including the perimeter. We noticed quite a bit of slipping and sinking when lying and sitting in this area. In this case, we recommend trying out a hybrid mattress since these contain coils and often perform better in this category.

This is where we explain if there’s anything unique the mattress brings to the table in regard to its design, customer policies, and performance. 

As a Tempur-Pedic bed, the LuxeAdapt® is designed with pressure relief in mind, and it definitely impressed us there, so we’d say it serves its purpose on that front. Another perk for shoppers is that it comes with free in-home delivery, so you don’t have to set it up yourself. 

Even though we love the free in-home delivery, we would have liked to see a longer trial period for such a luxury bed, especially considering other brands offer up to a year. This is why it didn’t get a 5 here.

Tempur-Pedic has good customer service. You can reach them via phone, email, or online chat, so obtaining answers is fairly easy. However, the online chat representative is a virtual assistant, which some people may not like compared to talking to a real person. 

Also, there’s a $175 return fee, which we think is a little too much given the price of these beds. This is why we deducted a point here. 

We get our couples score by looking at how the mattress performs in categories such as motion isolation, cooling, bounce, and edge support, all of which are typically important to couples. 

This mattress has excellent motion isolation, and some cooling features, both of which we think might be beneficial to couples sharing a mattress. However, it lacks edge support, which means couples can’t spread out as much. On top of that, the slow-moving foam is not the best for sex since it has no pushback, which some couples prefer.

Preference-Based Features

Multiple Firmness Options

Although we only reviewed the Soft version of the TEMPUR-LuxeAdapt®, it’s important to mention this mattress is also available in Firm. The firmer version has a taller support layer along with a shallower comfort layer to create a more supportive and firmer feel.

---

Removable Cover

The TEMPUR-LuxeAdapt® comes with a cooling cover, but what’s great is that you can remove it for an easy wash in the machine. 

---

Free White Glove Delivery

Tempur-Pedic includes free white glove delivery with this mattress, which we think is excellent if you live alone and won’t have help setting up your new bed.

---

Adjustable Base Compatible

The TEMPUR-LuxeAdapt® works on all mattress foundations, including an adjustable bed frame. Also, the company sells their own collection of adjustable bases, so you can be sure they fit the mattress. 

Construction: What’s Inside the TEMPUR-LuxeAdapt® Mattress?

The Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-LuxeAdapt® is 13 inches tall. The Soft model we reviewed starts with a phase-change cover designed to dissipate body heat. This cover is removable and washable.

• The comfort layer features 3.5 inches of TEMPUR-ES® memory foam, with the ‘ES’ standing for ‘extra soft.’ This layer was originally made by NASA scientists and is now only available in Tempur-Pedic mattresses. It’s what gives this bed the deep hug and cushioning we mentioned earlier. 
• Next, is an inch of TEMPUR-APR+™ foam, which stands for “advanced pressure relief.” According to the brand, this layer gives 30 percent more contouring than the original APR™ foam used in the company’s ProAdapt® model. 
• The poly foam transition layer eases you into the firmer support unit. This layer is designed to prevent you from sinking too deeply into the base of the bed. 
• The base layer features high-density poly foam to support the sleeper and provide durability for the rest of the bed.

Unboxing & Off-Gassing

The Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-LuxeAdapt® arrives compressed in a box. What stands out is that it comes with free white glove delivery, so you don’t have to worry about setting it up. 

You will, however, have to wait for a few hours before the mattress decompresses. Also, if you notice any off-gassing, this is probably due to the foam materials in this bed. Just make sure to ventilate the room, and the odors should dissipate within a few hours.

Certification

• CertiPUR-US® certified – The foams in the TEMPUR-LuxeAdapt® are CertiPUR-US® certified. CertiPUR-US® is a third-party program that ensures the foams meet rigorous health and safety standards. This means they don’t contain harmful substances like ozone depleters, PBDEs, heavy metals, formaldehyde, and phthalates. They should also have low volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions.

Noteworthy Updates

Tempur-Pedic is big on giving back to local organizations in Kentucky and worldwide. You can read more about this on the company’s official website.

TEMPUR-LuxeAdapt® FAQs

Is the TEMPUR-LuxeAdapt® better than the TEMPUR-ProAdapt®?

Which mattress is better depends on your needs and preferences. The TEMPUR-ProAdapt® is the mid-range model and a part of the Adapt® collection. On the other hand, the TEMPUR-LuxeAdapt® is designed to be more luxurious. 

The ProAdapt® is 12 inches tall, whereas the LuxeAdapt® is 13 inches tall. They offer different levels of pressure relief and support, and the ProAdapt® is also available as a Medium, whereas the LuxeAdapt® is only available as Soft and Firm.

Are Tempur-Pedics worth the money?

Temur-Pedic is one of the most popular brands and has been around for several decades. The company uses materials developed by NASA and patented technologies that bring unique combinations of pressure relief and support. Plus, they offer a risk-free 90-night trial, so you can try it out in the comfort of your home.

Is there a difference between Tempur and Tempur-Pedic?

Tempur is the globally marketed name of the brand, while Tempur-Pedic is the U.S. name. The two brands both use TEMPUR® foam and have some of the same models, but there are also mattresses exclusive to each market.

How thick is a Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-LuxeAdapt®?

The Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-LuxeAdapt® is 13 inches thick.

Our Verdict of the TEMPUR-LuxeAdapt® Mattress

Tempur-Pedic is a great brand with a lot to offer, so we weren’t really surprised with the overall quality and feel of the LuxeAdapt®. Everything from the NASA-developed memory foam to the cool-to-the-touch cover helps bring your sleeping to the next level. 

The performance categories it best excelled at were pressure relief and motion isolation, the latter of which is beneficial for couples worried about tossing and turning. However, this bed offers limited support for certain sleep positions and body types, and it lacks bounce and edge support, which is why it earned a final score of 3.6 out of 5. 

That said, think about the factors important to you. If you find that neither edge support nor bounce matters to you, you should love the TEMPUR-LuxeAdapt® mattress.
