If you love the pressure relief of memory foam but tend to sleep hot, the Tempur-Pedic ProBreeze® might be the mattress for you.

This mattress is designed to decrease the temperature by five degrees as you lie on it, absorbing your body temperature to keep you cool through the night. As a hot sleeper myself, I was dubious; after all, memory foam does tend to sleep hot. However, after reviewing it, not just for its cooling abilities but also for pressure relief, support, motion isolation, and more – I was impressed across the board.

This mattress is available in an all-foam and a hybrid option. In this review, I’ll be highlighting the Medium Hybrid model I tested.

Pros

Great cooling – I could feel the heat dissipating in real time on this bed.

Free in-home delivery – Tempur-Pedic will deliver this mattress and set it up for you at no additional charge.

Could help with pain – For those with hip, shoulder, or joint pain, this mattress should feel like a deep hug to help soothe those sensitive areas.

Cons

Harder to move around – As this mattress softens and cools, it creates a deep sink, which can make it harder to adjust positions.

Gets softer over time– This bed became softer as I lay on it, which could impact support for heavier sleepers.

Costly – This mattress is among the most expensive models from Tempur-Pedic.

Who I Recommend the Tempur-Pedic ProBreeze® For:

• Hot sleepers – The ProBreeze® is stacked with cooling foam innovation, which, according to Tempur-Pedic, can lower the bed’s temperature by five degrees. When I lay on it, I felt much cooler.

---

• Side sleepers –This bed offers excellent pressure relief, so I would say it’s a great fit for side sleepers. The mattress lets the hip and shoulder sink in comfortably while keeping the spine in alignment.

---

• Consumers who want design variety – The Tempur-Pedic ProBreeze® is available in a medium firmness in either an all-foam structure or as a hybrid, which means it contains both foam and coils.

Who I Don’t Recommend the Tempur-Pedic ProBreeze® For:

• Budget shoppers – This mattress includes advanced cooling technology, a 10-year warranty, a 90-night sleep trial, and free white glove delivery. With all of these perks, though, comes a higher price tag. For more affordable alternatives, visit our list of the best budget mattresses.

---

• Those who prefer a firm mattress – The only firmness option for this mattress is Medium, and you can choose either all-foam or hybrid from there. For those who prefer a firm mattress, I think both the all-foam and hybrid versions will likely be too soft for you.

Customer Reviews of the Tempur-Pedic ProBreeze®

On the Tempur-Pedic website, the ProBreeze® mattress is rated 4.4 out of 5 stars based on over 2,000 reviews. Multiple customers said the TEMPUR-ProBreeze mattress helped with their back pain, but some people have reported that it was too firm for them.

Testing the Tempur-Pedic ProBreeze®

Sleep Advisor’s Testing Methodology

Firmness & Feel

Firmness Scale: 6/10 (Medium Hybrid)

At Sleep Advisor, we rank mattress firmness on a scale from 1 to 10, in which 10 is the firmest. I gave the ProBreeze® a 6 out of 10 for firmness, which falls in the medium-firm range on our scale.

How Does the Tempur-Pedic ProBreeze® Feel?

Sleeping Positions for Different Body Types

According to Tempur-Pedic, their mattresses don’t have a weight limit.

Side Sleepers

Body Type	Weight Range	Tester Feedback
Lightweight Sleepers	Less than 130 pounds	Loren said this bed felt very firm at first, but as time went on, it softened and evened out.
Average-Weight Sleepers	130-230 pounds	This mattress felt soft beneath my hip and shoulder, and my spine’s curvature felt intact.
Heavyweight Sleepers	More than 230 pounds	As time went on, Spencer found himself really sinking into the bed. Although his spine felt fine, he was unsure if it would stay that way if he slept on the mattress overnight.

Back Sleepers

Body Type	Weight Range	Tester Feedback
Lightweight Sleepers	Less than 130 pounds	For Loren, the mattress felt firm at first and then adjusted to a nice, even-keeled feel. She added that her spine felt supported.
Average-Weight Sleepers	130-230 pounds	I found that there was a good amount of sinking happening, but it still felt comfortable.
Heavyweight Sleepers	More than 230 pounds	Spencer felt comfortable on his back, adding that there was a pleasant sinking but not like quicksand.

Stomach Sleepers

Body Type	Weight Range	Tester Feedback
Lightweight Sleepers	Less than 130 pounds	At first, Loren wondered if this mattress was going to be too firm. There was no doubt that her spine remained propped up, but this can come at the expense of pressure relief until the mattress eventually softens up.
Average-Weight Sleepers	130-230 pounds	My back remained aloft and the pressure relief underneath me was comfortable.
Heavyweight Sleepers	More than 230 pounds	Even though he was sinking in a good bit, Spencer said his back felt comfortable. That said, some significantly heavier sleepers may still want something firmer and more supportive for stomach sleeping than this mattress.

Is the Tempur-Pedic ProBreeze® Good for Pain Relief?

The ProBreeze® could offer the pain relief you can expect from Tempur-Pedic but with the bonus of cooling technology. That being said, your body weight and sleep position will factor into how well it does at pain relief.

Back Pain	The mattress initially felt firm when lying on my back, but as the cooling absorption kicked in, I could feel my spine sinking comfortably into the mattress. I still felt plenty of lumbar support, though, and I imagine this would be a great fit for sleepers with back pain. However, it may not be firm enough for heavier stomach sleepers, who are more apt to sink in deeper, and this can worsen pain in the lumbar area. Read more about mattresses for back pain here.
Hip Pain	People with hip pain who sleep on their side need a mattress with plenty of pressure relief, and those who sleep on their stomach need quality support. I think this mattress is ideal for side sleepers with hip pain as it cushions this area. For stomach sleepers with hip pain, this mattress should work well, except it may be slightly too soft for those over 230 pounds. Read more about mattresses for hip pain here.
Shoulder Pain	People with shoulder pain may exacerbate their symptoms when side sleeping on a bed that’s too firm. The ProBreeze® will feel firm when you first lie down, but it softens considerably as it absorbs heat. I felt the pressure drain from my shoulder area as the mattress softened and contoured to my side. Explore more mattresses for shoulder pain here.

The Tempur-Pedic ProBreeze® has a durable support system made from over 1,000 premium coils. These are pretty sturdy to keep your body from dipping in any weird places.

This bed provides nearly perfect spinal alignment. My lumbar region felt lifted and supported in all positions. While the bed was soft and pressure-relieving, my lumbar spine never felt like it was sinking too far into the mattress.

My only note is that heavyweight sleepers should definitely go for the hybrid version of the bed for proper support, as the foam will likely sink too much. However, plus-size stomach sleepers may want a firm mattress topper to go on top or a firmer mattress altogether.

Motion isolation measures the amount of disturbance you’re likely to feel if somebody moves on the other side of the bed. This is an important consideration for couples who share a mattress. We usually test this using a seismograph app that tells us if any movement transfers from one side to the other. Reading it is pretty simple: tall spikes mean high motion isolation, while lower spikes mean less transfer. 

On the ProBreeze®, I could barely feel any motion once I was settled into the bed. I only deducted one point because I could still feel motion when my sleeping partner got in and out of bed, which are those taller spikes you see on our seismograph reading.

The Tempur-Pedic ProBreeze® got a perfect score for its cooling abilities. Even just seconds after lying down on it, I could feel the ProBreeze® getting considerably cooler for me and remained that way, which is why I scored it so high.

I tested this mattress without sheets on it, but it was noticeable enough that it should also be felt through bedding. As such, I think this would be an excellent choice for those who are looking for a good cooling mattress.

Bounce is mostly helpful to combination sleepers who switch positions multiple times during the night and sexually active couples. A little bit of bounce can also help you get in and out of bed if you have mobility issues. We test this by dropping a heavy medicine ball onto the mattress to see how much it’ll bounce back. If it lands with a thud, the mattress is not very bouncy. 

If you are accustomed to innerspring beds, this mattress will feel much less bouncy than you are used to. While the hybrid model I tested does include a layer of springs, the mattress as a whole feels more like a standard memory foam bed with that traditional “sinking” feeling. The foam on this particular bed also takes some extra time to spring back into its original shape.

Edge support helps keep you from sliding off if you lie or sit near the edge of the bed. In most cases, it allows you to use the entire surface of the mattress and can also make it easier to get in and out of bed, so it’s good for couples and people with mobility issues. We test this by sitting and lying near the edge for a minute each, evaluating just how secure it feels.

When lying down on this bed, from the middle out to the edges, I felt that my body weight was fully supported. This edge support meant that I could comfortably sleep on the entire surface of the bed without the edges sinking beneath my weight.

The edges sunk slightly when I sat on the edge of the bed, but I still felt supported. However, I still took off a point for the sinking I noticed while seated.

In this category, we cover everything unique about a mattress and if it brings anything special to the table. In the case of this Tempur-Pedic, it’s definitely cooling. The mattress performs well in other categories as well, but cooling is where it shines. 

The policies are not bad either, especially with the 10-year warranty and free white glove delivery. I deducted a point here because the trial could’ve been longer, given the price of the mattress.

Customer service is easy to reach via phone, email, or online chat. However, online chat is run by a virtual assistant, so keep that in mind if you prefer to talk to a real person. 

In hindsight, customer service is great, but a $175 shipping fee applies when you return the mattress, which is a reason why got a 4 instead of a 5.

We get our couples score by looking at how the mattress performs in other categories couples usually find important. This includes bounce, motion isolation, edge support, and support in general. We also like to see a high enough weight capacity and versatile firmness for couples, such as medium-firm.

Overall, the ProBreeze® is a great mattress for couples, including partners who tend to sleep hot or are easily disturbed when their partner moves at night. It also has good edge support, so you and your partner should be able to comfortably use the entire bed. However, it doesn’t have the bounce of an innerspring mattress, which may not be ideal for some sexually–active couples who prefer this in a mattress. For this reason, I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 here.

Construction: What’s Inside the Tempur-Pedic ProBreeze®?

When ordering your ProBreeze®, you’ll have the option to choose between the Medium or Medium Hybrid models. The Medium is made purely out of foam, whereas the Medium Hybrid is made out of memory foam as well as innerspring coils. We’ll be taking a look at the construction of the Medium Hybrid.

No matter what size bed you get, the ProBreeze® hybrids are all 12 inches thick. Inside the mattress are three distinct layers combined to give the bed its unique cooling, pressure-relieving feeling.

• The cover is made out of Pure Cool® Material. This exclusive technology is designed to pull heat away from the body throughout the night so you don’t wake up in a sweat.
• In the middle, is a layer of Ventilated Advanced Relief™ Material. This unit is what provides the ProBreeze® with such effective pressure relief. It’s a relatively slow-moving foam, which means it will contour to the shape of the body but may take a second to bounce back into its original shape. This foam is also ventilated to increase airflow throughout the bed.
• Over 1,000 premium innerspring coils make up the base. This layer is what gives the hybrid model extra support, as well as more ventilation than the all-foam model. These springs are individually wrapped, so the bed still has quality motion isolation and stays quiet.

Unboxing & Off-Gassing

As mentioned, this bed comes with free in-home delivery, which means Tempur-Pedic will deliver the mattress, set it up for you, remove any packaging, and remove your old mattress if you so choose. This also means unboxing is about as simple as it gets, and you don’t have to worry about off-gassing smells because the mattress arrives fully expanded.

Certifications

• CertiPUR-US® certified – The foams in this bed 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.

Tempur-Pedic ProBreeze® FAQs

Which Tempur-Pedic mattress is the coolest?

With advanced cooling technology, the ProBreeze® and the LuxeBreeze® are the coolest Tempur-Pedic mattresses currently available. The LuxeBreeze® may be slightly cooler than the ProBreeze®, but the difference isn’t that much.

What is the difference between the ProBreeze® and LuxeBreeze®?

The ProBreeze® and LuxeBreeze® are two versions of the TEMPUR-Breeze® mattress line. According to Tempur-Pedic, the ProBreeze® can cool down by up to five degrees, while the LuxeBreeze® can cool down by up to 10 degrees.

My Verdict of the Tempur-Pedic ProBreeze® Mattress

For people who sleep hot, the Tempur-Pedic ProBreeze® is an excellent option. This mattress has a unique adaptability; as it cools down, it also softens and molds to the body. This makes it a great choice for pressure relief but might give it too much of a ‘sinking’ feeling for combination or heavyweight sleepers.

Additionally, the ProBreeze® is about $1,000 cheaper than the very similar LuxeBreeze® model, which makes it a great choice for those with a slightly smaller budget. Overall, this bed received a score of 4 out of 5.
