How Does Our 10" Mattress Compare to the Tempur-Pedic TM Mattress?
A question we often get is:
How does your mattress compare to the Tempur-Pedic TM mattress?
Answer:
While both our 10" Memory Foam Mattress and the Tempur-Pedic TM mattresses are made of memory foam layered on top of base foams, they really have very different feels. This is due to the differences in the foams used in the beds.
Our 10" Memory Foam Mattress uses a denser base foam, and I think that this adds a bit more support and has a bouncier feel than the Tempur-Pedic TM base foam. And the memory foams used in our 10" Memory Foam Mattress is a softer, less dense memory foam than the Tempur TM used in the Tempur-Pedic TM. We've found that this less dense memory foam has some advantages over the denser Tempur TM foam. One big advantage is that it is easier for people to move around on (the Tempur TM foam can be very firm and stiff feeling at room temperature, and as we talked about in an earlier post it can create kind of a cocoon around you that can make it difficult to turn over, etc).
But getting away from the technical aspects of the differences in the foams used on our 10" Memory Foam Mattress and Tempur-Pedic's TM, the bottom line issue is how they compare in terms of comfort. And the least biased way I know of comparing comfort is simple - the return rate under our respective money back trials.
To get a feel for the Tempur-Pedic TM return rate, I talked with a former Tempur-Pedic TM retailer (he had been one of the top 35 dealers in the country in from 2004 - 2006). He estimated his return rate on the Tempur-Pedic TM mattresses to be between 10 - 11%. How does this compare to ours? Our most recent calculation of our return rate on the 10" Memory Foam Mattress was 7%. That isn't to say our mattress is per se more comfortable, but the low return rate does show that it can hold its own with the Tempur-Pedic TM on comfort.
An associated question we get is which Tempur-Pedic TM model does our 10" Memory Foam Mattress best compare?
This is a tough one, since all these mattresses use such different foams and so have different feels. But if I had to compare, I would say that our 10" Memory Foam Mattress (which is a firm mattress ) has an overall feel that is somewhere between the ClassicBed by Tempur-Pedic TM (which I used to sell way back when, and was so firm we had almost 13% returns), and the DeluxeBed by Tempur-Pedic TM (which may have a bit softer feel than our mattress).
