Best Firm Mattresses: Tempur-Pedic, Beautyrest, Stearns & Foster

Are you a firm mattress lover and in the market for a new firm mattress? You are not alone. Many back sleepers, stomach sleepers, and people who struggle with back pain join you in your quest. They usually find a firm mattress to be the best choice for them. But even the most avid firm mattress lover will appreciate how mattresses now provide more than just the firmness level. Most models add comfort and cooling using a variety of materials and technologies.

Mattress technologies keep evolving and current designs have layers of advanced technology. These layers include foams, cooling materials, and venting methods. The layers are topped with material with just the right amount of stretch and/or cooling properties. There’s a lot going on in these mattresses to keep you comfortable all night. Mattresses have made great technological strides in recent years and none more than Tempur-Pedic mattresses. Tempur-Pedic has a mattress for all different firmness levels and all are super comfortable.

Firm Tempur-Pedic Mattresses

A champion of comfortable support from the very start, Tempur-Pedic has continued to develop mattresses with technology-enhanced layering. These layers offer even more firmness, comfort, and cooling. Some materials conform to your body to relieve pressure points while others increase ventilation or introduce some other cooling effect. Explore the Tempur-Pedic options to provide better, more restorative sleep. Best Mattress offers the following three Tempur-Pedic firm mattresses.

TEMPUR-ProAdapt® Firm Mattress for Support and Comfort

The TEMPUR-ProAdapt® Firm mattress contains a layer of Original TEMPUR® for support and comfort, which enables air circulation and does not trap body heat. A second layer of TEMPUR® material called TEMPUR-APR® provides additional support and pressure relief. This layer is Tempur-Pedic’s “most pressure-relieving material ever.” It helps prevent overheating and the need for tossing and turning, which also helps with relaxation.

The layers are ultimately encased in the SmartClimate® Dual Cover System. This is a removable cover that is machine-washable and dryer-safe. The cover has special fibers woven throughout that cause the cover to feel cool to the touch. These same fibers also help move heat away from your body.

TEMPUR-LuxeAdapt® Firm Mattress: Most Conforming Support

TEMPUR-LuxeAdapt® Firm mattress is a supportive and comfortable mattress with features nearly identical to the Tempur-ProAdapt®. However, if you are a larger or heavier person, or if your biggest mattress concern is relieving pressure points, then this mattress is for you.

Like the ProAdapt® mattress, the LuxeAdapt® mattress contains a layer of Original TEMPUR® material for support and comfort. It also makes use of the SmartClimate® Dual Cover System, the washable cover with the cooling effect. The noteworthy upgrade found in the LuxeAdapt mattress is the “+” in TEMPUR-APR+™. The TEMPUR-APR+™ layer provides the original pressure-relieving support of its namesake plus additional material to provide 30% more conforming support than TEMPUR-APR™.

TEMPUR-LUXEbreeze° Firm Mattress: Best Cooling System

TEMPUR-LUXEbreeze° Firm mattress is the top of the line in TEMPUR firm mattresses, especially when it comes to cooling technologies. Would you love the outstanding firm support and pressure relief of a Tempur-Pedic mattress, but need the cooling properties because you are a hot sleeper? Then you found the right mattress!

The LUXEbreeze° mattress begins with a layer of the classic Original TEMPUR® material for support and comfort. Additional layers of materials add support but all bring additional cooling effects that work together to help you sleep up to 8 degrees cooler.

These additional layers include Ventilated TEMPUR-APR™. This layer is the best material made by Tempur-Pedic for pressure relief and tempering of partner motion. Additionally, it comes with added ventilation channels to help prevent the buildup of body heat.

The LUXEbreeze° also comes with TEMPUR-CM+, an advanced material designed for maximum airflow that lets heat and humidity flow out of the mattress for a cooling effect.

Then we have the PureCool+™, a Phase change material layer that draws excess heat away so you can sleep cooler.

Finally, to wrap these layers together, the LUXEbreeze° mattress uses the SmartClimate® Dual Cover System that includes a washable outer covering. The cover has cooling fibers woven into it to help draw heat away from your body.
