Overview: Tempur-Adapt Mattress Line
Last Updated: October 2018
New for 2018, Tempur-pedic's Tempur-Adapt bed shares many of the same materials as the Tempur-Cloud Supreme, which it replaces, but at a lower price point. There are two mattresses in the Tempur-Adapt line, the Medium and the Medium Hybrid. The Medium is an all-foam bed, while the Medium Hybrid replaces a polyurethane foam support core with a pocketed coil unit.
New Cooling Cover
The use of cooling materials is a new-ish trend among mattresses. Typically, we see "phase change" materials included as a coating on a mattress's cover that makes it feel cool to the touch. Tempur-Pedic takes a different approach with the new covers on the Tempur-Adapt and Tempur-ProAdapt mattresses. Woven into the fabric are special high-density fibers that by their very nature feel cool to the touch. (Think about how a high density material like marble feels cooler than low-density material like wood.). Since the fiber is woven in, it can't wash off or diminish over time. It's an innovative approach, and compared to Tempur-Pedic's previous mattress covers, it feels noticeably cool to the touch.
The Tempur-Adapt and Tempur-ProAdapt lines both use the cooling cover. On the ProAdapt mattresses, the cover zips off and can be machine washed, while it is non-removable on the Tempur-Adapt.
Materials and Construction
Tempur-Pedic, of course, is known for memory foam. Both of the Tempur-Adapt mattresses feature a top comfort layer of the company's Tempur-ES foam which it's been using in its other mattresses. This is a soft, slow responding foam that has plenty of that memory feel.
Under the Tempur-ES foam, the Medium version of the Tempur-Adapt has a layer of transition foam, plus a thick block of standard polyurethane support foam. For the Medium Hybrid version, the support foam is replaced with a pocketed coil unit.
Both of the Tempur-Adapt mattresses are 11" tall.
Softness and Feel
Both the Medium and the Medium Hybrid Tempur-Adapt mattresses, in our view, are firmer mattresses. On our scale, we would call both a Medium Firm, with the hybrid version just slightly softer. If you prefer a firm mattress, but do like a softer top, the Tempur-Adapt might be worth a look.
The big difference between the two models is in bounce. The all-foam Medium version has very little of it, while the hybrid version has some healthy bounce, owning to the coil unit below.

Warranty
- Warranty Length: 10 years
- Indentation Coverage: 3/4” and above
One of the biggest, if not THE biggest complaints about any mattress from consumers regards body impressions—the inability of a mattress to spring back, eventually creating a low spot/sinkhole in the mattress. As such, mattress warranties all contain a term defining how big a sag or ‘body impression’ (measured when no one is on the mattress) is considered a defect, and thus covered under the warranty. The industry standard for mattresses is generally between ¾” and 1.5”. Tempur-Pedic has chosen to cover indentations that meet or exceed 3/4”. Practically speaking, that means any softening or sagging would need to be at least that deep before the warranty would offer you protection.
