How to Select a Tempur-Pedic Mattress

Choose your Tempur-Pedic mattress size (queen, king, etc.) to help narrow down your options. Some collection sets only come in a few sizes while others come in all standard bed sizes. Think about your current and future needs when you choose a size.

Consult with the Tempur-Pedic mattress manufacturer website or your local outlet to seek out the current collections that are available in the size that you seek.

Compare the features and benefits that you require for your bed. Decide how thick you want the foam to be. Some Tempur-Pedic mattresses come with several layers of different types of memory foam but at a much higher price, while some sets come in only two layers.

Decide if airflow is important to your needs. A lot of the beds from the Tempur-Pedic mattress collection include airflow systems for added circulation but increase the final cost. According to Tempur-Pedic, the airflow system works to circulate air to relieve pressure points while you sleep.

Figure in additional costs to your budget for a base or foundation for your Temper-Pedic mattress. Beds are sold in sets but several hundreds of dollars are added to the final price. Adjustable bases can easily double the price of your new bed set. Most price quotes that are given are for the mattress only. Choose either the regular foundation or the adjustable base for your needs and price range.

Read the warranty information carefully before buying a Tempur-Pedic mattress. All mattresses come with a limited 20 year warranty. However, the warranty is lengthy and is broken down into year blocks to determine coverage. Full coverage is only given for the first 10 years if mattresses are determined to be defective. After 10 years, your coverage will be prorated and determined by a wide variety of factors.

Try out the bed that you selected to decide if it fits your needs. Send it back before 90 days for another model if you are dissatisfied.
