Tempur-Pedic Mattress Reviews

Tempur-Pedic is a very well-known and popular mattress brand that is available through numerous third-party retailers in Canada. Its mattresses come in a variety of models and firmness options, and provide good pressure-point relief thanks to their high-density memory foam.

However, if you’re looking for a memory foam mattress with higher-than-average motion isolation and temperature regulation, you may prefer Octave. Designed to promote spinal alignment and a cool night’s sleep, Octave comes with zoned support and copper-infused memory foam. You also get a 365-night sleep trial, a 15-year warranty, and a free bedding bundle, all starting at just $599.

Tempur-Pedic is a well-known brand that crafts high-quality mattresses. However, they are often more expensive than mattresses from other brands with similar features and construction, such as Octave. The company is also rated “Bad” on Trustpilot, a third-party review platform that allows customers to provide feedback on all aspects of their purchasing experience. (In comparison, Octave is rated “Excellent” on Trustpilot.)

Tempur-Pedic mattresses are available for purchase online and in-store at a wide variety of retailers, including Sleep Country, Costco, and The Brick, as well as smaller, independent mattress stores. Tempur-Pedic even has standalone showrooms in select American cities.

According to experts, a good mattress should last 7–10 years. However, this can vary depending on the materials used in the mattress’s construction and how frequently it is used. There’s no strict rule, but if you notice visible sagging, lumps, or a decline in comfort and support, it may be time to replace it. Regular maintenance and proper care can help extend a mattress’s lifespan.

According to Tempur-Pedic’s website, their mattresses do not need to be rotated due to their design. Rotating a mattress 180 degrees is typically considered good practice to ensure even break-in and wear on a mattress, but you aren’t required to do so with your Tempur-Pedic.

No, you shouldn’t flip your Tempur-Pedic mattress. Like most modern mattresses, Tempur-Pedic mattresses are only designed for one-sided use, with the comfort layer positioned on top. Flipping it would place the supportive base on top instead and the comfort layer (which is designed for you to lie on top of) at the bottom.

Some Tempur-Pedic mattresses are known to contain fiberglass, like the TEMPUR-Cloud mattress we purchased in 2023. According to the mattress’s law label, its internal fire sock was composed of 23% “glass fibre.” This mattress is no longer available in Canada.

We recommend always reading the law label of your Tempur-Pedic mattress and ensuring the cover is safely removable before doing so.
