Tempur-Pedic Professional Breeze 10-Month Evaluation: How I Discovered to Love Reminiscence Foam

One of many perks of being a mattress tester is being able to readily swap out my residence mattress for one thing new and totally different. We check lots of of mattresses in our Reno workplace, however just one mattress for every of our specialists will get to be a “residence” mattress. 

For over 5 years my residence mattress was the Purple Hybrid Premier 3, which I beloved. That mattress, and the brand new iterations of Purple Hybrids, has a really distinctive really feel due to the particular prime layer, the GelFlex Grid, that I feel is supremely comfy. My accomplice, Elli, preferred the Purple we slept on at residence and located it comfy, however after some time, we began working into points — particularly that they stored waking up at evening on account of insufficient movement isolation.

Movement isolation refers to how properly a mattress can deaden the impacts of 1 accomplice tossing and turning and subsequently waking up the opposite. The movement isolation on Purple is fairly good, however Elli is a light-weight sleeper, so we finally determined we would have liked one thing totally different to assist them get uninterrupted sleep. 

Tempur-Pedic is definitely among the best manufacturers within the movement isolation class, which is the principle purpose we determined to provide it a attempt to the expertise has been unbelievable.

Why the Tempur-Pedic Professional Breeze?

The particular mattress we took house is the Tempur-Pedic Professional Breeze. In our workplace, we’ve got a lot of the Tempur-Pedic lineup, together with the Luxe Breeze, Adapt and ProAdapt. 

We selected the Professional Breeze as a result of it’s an all-foam mannequin, and we’ve got the Luxe Breeze and Adapt within the hybrid mannequin. I desire hybrid beds as a result of I benefit from the assist and further bounce supplied by coils, however Elli mentioned they felt the coils an excessive amount of on the Luxe Breeze. I assumed if movement isolation is the principle purpose for locating a brand new mattress, we should always go together with the froth mannequin that performs one of the best. 

Additionally, my accomplice is a giant fan of a standard reminiscence foam really feel — the mattress they’d earlier than we moved in collectively was the Nectar Unique, which they beloved however I did not. 

I’ve examined lots of of various mattresses, and I by no means gravitated towards reminiscence foam beds — I all the time noticed the enchantment, however the model of consolation simply wasn’t for me as a result of I usually felt “caught” when attempting out dense reminiscence foam mattresses. Being in a pair is about center floor and we slept on Purple for a very long time, so it was positively my flip to compromise, however I wasn’t initially thrilled with this selection. 

One factor I used to be enthusiastic about was the energetic cooling options of the Professional Breeze. I had by no means taken residence a mattress with a cooling cowl earlier than and that was another excuse we selected the Professional Breeze over the opposite Tempur-Pedic beds.

Preliminary ideas on the Tempur-Pedic Professional Breeze

Having examined many Tempur-Pedic mattresses, I had a good suggestion of what to anticipate after we took this mattress residence. It’s surprisingly heavy for an all-foam mattress, nevertheless it wasn’t too troublesome to get it residence in my small truck. In the event you determine to get this mattress for your self, it comes with a complimentary in-home setup, however being a mattress knowledgeable additionally means shifting beds round your self is par for the course. 

I admit that I do not actually just like the look of the Tempur-Pedic mattresses. For being a luxurious model, the beds do not look all that inviting to sleep on, and the cooling cowl on the Professional Breeze makes the mattress look nearly “excessive tech,” which isn’t my favourite aesthetic for our cozy bed room. 

The way in which a mattress appears would not matter all that a lot because it’s lined by sheets and bedding, however I do discover the looks. 

Tempur-Pedic Professional Breeze sleeping expertise

Tempur-Pedic Professional Breeze firmness and sleeper varieties

In our workplace testing, we rated this mattress as a medium, which suggests it ought to work decently properly for all sleeper varieties. A medium firmness is essential to us as a result of I’m a major facet sleeper who prefers a plush-feeling mattress, and my accomplice is a mixture facet and abdomen sleeper. 

Happily for us, the firmness labored very well for each of us proper off the bat. I by no means handled ache points on the previous Purple which is a hair softer than the Professional Breeze, however Elli did have occasional bouts of decrease again ache and the Tempur-Pedic alleviated that moderately rapidly and I have not developed any aches and pains on this mattress. 

I sleep on my facet the overwhelming majority of the time and solely often swap to my again and the firmness profile of the Professional Breeze works properly for me and for my accomplice.

One quirk about this mattress is that the firmness could be barely variable relying on the temperature of our bed room. Within the winter, we usually hold the thermostat pretty low to avoid wasting on the vitality invoice (round 65 levels) and once I first lay down on the mattress it feels tremendous agency till the froth warms up beneath me, and the alternative has been occurring all through the summer season. 

This truly has to do with foam chemistry, which I discovered whereas touring the 3Z Manufacturers mattress manufacturing unit.

This solely impacts the preliminary firmness of the mattress and normalizes rapidly as soon as I begin falling asleep, however it’s an attention-grabbing phenomenon. 

Tempur-Pedic Professional Breeze mattress really feel

The Tempur-Pedic model is synonymous with reminiscence foam (generally referred to as visco foam) and actually pioneered utilizing this materials in beds. The froth on this mattress rebounds very slowly and has little or no bounce which makes it really feel actually dense.

As I mentioned earlier, earlier than taking this mattress residence I’ve not been a fan of beds with the sort of really feel however after sleeping on it for ten months, I’ve been utterly transformed to loving reminiscence foam. 

“I discover this mattress to be tremendous comfortable in any sleeping place. I are inclined to sleep on my facet and abdomen, and even my again generally and it’s comfy regardless. It might take a minute for the froth to adapt to my physique, however as soon as it does it is nice,” says my accomplice, Elli.

As soon as I am totally nestled into the highest layers and the froth has conformed to my form it feels very nice — however the largest factor I really like about it’s how restful my sleep is. Most nights I’ll go to sleep on my left shoulder and get up in the very same place.

My sleep-tracking information additionally backs this up. I’ve worn a Garmin Forerunner 965 watch to sleep each evening since Might of this 12 months. It not solely tracks my sleep, nevertheless it additionally offers me a nightly “sleep rating” based mostly on a number of components, together with your sleep phases, sleep period, stress, whole awake time and stressed moments. 

Garmin nearly all the time charges my awake time and stressed moments stat (which it counts collectively) as “glorious” once I sleep at residence. Happily for me, I’m a really heavy sleeper and barely get up in the course of the evening, so I wasn’t positive if I may attribute this to the mattress till I took a weeklong journey in June. I slept on a resort mattress, and my sleep rating was worse, and my stressed moments elevated. The identical factor occurred on two quick weekend journeys in July. 

My previous watch did not monitor sleep in as a lot element, so I am unable to actually examine my previous sleep information successfully. I all the time felt like I acquired good sleep on Purple, however I feel I sleep a bit higher on the Tempur Pedic.

Tempur-Pedic Professional Breeze cooling issue

My accomplice and I’ve discovered after 10 months of sleeping on the Tempur-Pedic Professional Breeze that the cooling issue is kind of sturdy, so sturdy that it’s not all the time welcome within the winter months. 

I’m penning this in August and the cooling nature of the Professional Breeze has been an actual profit all through the summer season. It’s nowhere close to sturdy sufficient to maintain you sleeping cool when the skin temps attain 100 levels and you do not have air con put in but (we do now), however I do suppose I might have had worse sleep high quality on a special mattress earlier than we acquired our AC scenario solved. 

The winter was a special story. We attempt to hold the thermostat low to avoid wasting on our heating invoice, so crawling right into a mattress with a cooling cowl wasn’t our favourite factor — however one good thing about the design on the Professional Breeze is that the duvet is detachable, so we simply zipped it off and saved it in our linen closet till it began to warmth up once more. 

Having this characteristic on a cooling mattress could be very underrated for my part as a result of more often than not there is not any method to actually blunt the cooling issue on one thing just like the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe apart from placing on thicker sheets.  

The opposite Tempur-Pedic mattresses, just like the Professional Adapt and Luxe Breeze we have examined, even have detachable cooling covers, however the base mannequin Adapt will not be detachable. 

We charge the Adapt line of mattresses to have a pleasant cooling issue however they don’t seem to be as sturdy because the Breeze mattresses. 

Tempur-Pedic Professional Breeze movement isolation

The first purpose we selected a traditional reminiscence foam mattress like this was that Elli needed the very best efficiency for deadening cross-mattress movement. On the previous Purple mattress, it was not a difficulty for me as a result of I’m a heavy sleeper, however I might often get up briefly from Elli tossing and turning, or from our pretty energetic cat leaping on the mattress. 

On the Tempur-Pedic, it occurs so sometimes that I actually can’t keep in mind the final time I awakened from movement switch in the course of the evening. 

“On this mattress, I really feel nearly no vibration or movement switch, so I nearly by no means get up from Owen tossing and turning, which actually helps me get extra restful sleep compared to our previous mattress,” Elli says.

So not solely does Elli not really feel the movement switch once I toss and switch, however I toss and switch much less total due to the dense reminiscence foam. 

For any mild sleepers battling movement isolation, a traditional reminiscence foam mattress like this may very well be the answer.

Tempur Pedic Professional Breeze edge assist

I do discover myself sleeping close to the perimeter of the mattress usually, thanks largely to our cat, who insists on sleeping between people. 

I had low expectations of the sting assist as a result of it’s an all-foam mattress with no development parts designed to boost the sting assist, and reminiscence foam layers compress with stress. 

To this point I’ve been pleasantly stunned and skilled few points with edge assist over the ten months of sleeping on this mattress. If I sleep on my again close to the sting, I can generally really feel a slight roll-off sensation, however on my facet, it has not been an issue.

Elli says, “I feel the sting assist is not one of the best, nevertheless it solely turns into a difficulty sitting on the sting of the mattress or if I am actually pressured as far to the sting as doable. In any other case, it has been completely high quality.”

General the Tempur-Pedic Professional Breeze is a top-performing mattress for {couples} due to the strong edge assist and top-tier movement isolation.

Last ideas on the Tempur-Pedic Professional Breeze

After sleeping on this mattress for almost a 12 months, I can say that I find it irresistible, and I feel it’s unbelievable. I didn’t count on to love this mattress as a lot as I do due to my historic aversion to beds with a real, dense reminiscence foam really feel. It did take a while for me to regulate to sleeping on a mattress that was so drastically totally different from the Purple mattress I slept on for thus lengthy — however as soon as I did, I discovered it to be extremely comfy, and I usually get up feeling legitimately rejuvenated. 

As a lot as I really like sleeping on this mattress — I’ll probably be switching it out for one thing totally different quickly as a result of I need to have the ability to check the long-term sleeping expertise on totally different beds, and one factor I dislike about Tempur-Pedic is simply how costly its beds are. The Professional Breeze mattress is out of many individuals’s finances, together with my very own, and I wish to see if extra reasonably priced beds can present the identical sleeping expertise.  

There are extra reasonably priced beds from Tempur-Pedic just like the Cloud, Adapt and ProAdapt mattresses, and people will present the identical sort of reminiscence foam really feel I’ve skilled on the Professional Breeze, with the largest distinction being the Professional Breeze has a extra highly effective cooling issue.

I feel one lesson I’ve taken away from spending almost a 12 months sleeping on this mattress is that your tastes on mattress really feel can change and for those who strive a kind of mattress that you have not loved prior to now, you is perhaps pleasantly stunned.
