Written by Marten Carlson, Lead Reviewer
Whenever I get the chance to try another Tempur-Pedic mattress, I am excited. But, as a hot sleeper, I sometimes worry that their thick foams will make me overheat.
That’s why I was very interested to review the TEMPUR-ProBreeze mattress. This is one of the brand’s models that offers that pressure relief you expect from a Tempur-Pedic mattress while also providing some good cooling as well. How cool is it really? Read on to find out.

TEMPUR-ProBreeze Mattress Review: General Overview
Tempur-Pedic is easily one of the most popular mattress brands on the market. As a mattress reviewer, I get tons of questions about just how nice the Tempur-Pedic mattresses are. More specifically, are they worth the high price point?
While the TEMPUR-Cloud mattresses are an affordable option, the TEMPUR-Breeze mattresses are not. But, while you will spend more, you will also get some advanced comfort and cooling materials.
You can currently choose from the TEMPUR-ProBreeze and the TEMPUR-LuxeBreeze. The ProBreeze is the more affordable of the two mattresses, but it still boasts some excellent cooling qualities. You can also choose between the Medium Foam and Medium Hybrid model. I’ll be focusing on the Medium Foam model in this review.
As a hot sleeper, I was personally a fan of this mattress, but it will work better for certain types of sleepers.
Pros of the TEMPUR-ProBreeze Mattress
- Has a nice memory foam feel
- Boasts great cooling features
- Good for back sleepers
Cons of the TEMPUR-ProBreeze Mattress
- Not great for heavy side sleepers
- Comes at a higher price point
- Could make you feel stuck
TEMPUR-ProBreeze Firmness and Feel
I’d like to start off by looking at the firmness and feel of this mattress. This will give us a good idea of what sleeping positions this mattress will be best for.
How Firm Is The TEMPUR-ProBreeze?
The firmness scale we employ runs from 1, which is soft as a cloud to 10, which is like sleeping on a rock. The industry standard for “medium-firm” is 6.5/10, and the TEMPUR-ProBreeze scored exactly this.
The top layers of the TEMPUR-ProBreeze are soft, but the TEMPUR material is not your standard memory foam. It feels firm at first and takes some time to soften up. Lying down, the mattress felt firm to me at first, but it slowly gave in under my weight.
Lightweight people should keep this in mind. If you weigh less than 130 lb, the ProBreeze might feel firmer to you. You might not be heavy enough to compress the TEMPUR material, and this could feel uncomfortable.
Sleeping On The TEMPUR-ProBreeze
Since I’m not a, well, light person (I weigh 270 lb), I had no issues compressing the TEMPUR materials in this mattress. Lying down on my back, the mattress slowly gave way to my weight. The mattress really took the shape of my body, and the top foam layer pressed up into my lumbar area. I felt support and comfort just where I needed it. See our best mattresses for back sleepers for more options.
Side sleeping also felt fantastic on this mattress. Again, it felt a bit firm at first, but this feeling did not last. The TEMPUR foam cradled my shoulder and hip but, even being a heavier guy, I did not bottom out and press into the firm support layer.
However, stomach sleeping just didn’t work on the ProBreeze. The medium firmness wasn’t enough to support me under my hips. I felt my center mass dropping down into the mattress, and this made for an uncomfortable sleeping experience.
What Does The Tempur-ProBreeze Feel Like?
Like the other Tempur-Pedic mattresses, the TEMPUR-ProBreeze has an extremely slow-moving feel. This mattress has almost no bounce to it and takes a long time to reform after I press into it.
This feel is fun and comfy, but it is not for everyone. If you worry about getting stuck in your mattress, the ProBreeze won’t exactly put your mind at ease. Changing positions was a bit of a workout on this mattress.
| Sleeper Weight | Back Sleepers | Side Sleepers | Stomach Sleepers |
| Lightweight (Under 130 lb) | Fair | Fair | Good |
| Average (130 – 230 lb) | Excellent | Good | Fair |
| Heavyweight (Over 230 lb) | Good | Good | Bad |
TEMPUR-ProBreeze Mattress Construction
I zipped back the cover of the ProBreeze to look inside. Let’s see what the layers are and how they affect the performance of the mattress.
Cover
The top of the mattress has a cooling cover that actually feels cool-to-the touch. When I laid my hand on the mattress, it was nice and chill. And, lying down, I could even feel the cooling through sheets.
Comfort Layers
The TEMPUR-ProBreeze, of course, contains TEMPUR material. However, on top, there is also a layer of the brand’s proprietary Pure Cool material. This is similar to Phase Change Material, which is designed to pull heat away from your body while you sleep. This is meant to offset the heat-trapping properties of TEMPUR material.
Below that, there is a layer of Ventilated Advanced Relief material. This is designed to add more pressure relief to the mattress but not at the expense of your sleep temperature. It is meant to allow for airflow and prevent the mattress from trapping excess heat.
Support Layer
In this version of the mattress, the top layers rest on a layer of thick base foam. In the hybrid model, you will find individually-wrapped coils.
Mattress Height
The ProBreeze is 12” tall.

Tempur-ProBreeze Mattress Performance
When I’m reviewing a mattress, I get into the nitty-gritty details. I test each mattress to see how cooling, supportive and durable it is. While the TEMPUR-ProBreeze scored high in some areas, it didn’t do so well in other areas.
Sleeping Hot or Cold
This seems to be the topic of the hour. Is the TEMPUR-ProBreeze cooling or not? Well, for a foam mattress, it is definitely cooling. I could actually feel the cooling materials when I lay down on this mattress.
However, how does it stack up against a latex hybrid or a Purple mattress? It won’t do as well as these much more breathable mattresses. But, if you want a memory foam feel and sleep hot, the TEMPUR-ProBreeze is going to be a good option.

Motion Transfer
If you sleep with a partner, you don’t want their nocturnal movements to disturb you and wake you up. That’s why you want a mattress that cuts down on this motion transfer.
Thankfully, TEMPUR material is fantastically effective at isolating motion. But, just to be sure, I tested out the TEMPUR-ProBreeze’s motion isolation using a glass of water. When I pressed into the mattress, it did not disturb the glass of water on the other side of the mattress. I barely saw a ripple.
This lets me know that this will be a good mattress for couples.
Edge Support
This is also something that couples should think about when buying a mattress. If the edge of your mattress is sturdy and supportive, you can sleep all the way toward the edge without rolling or falling off. This means you and your partner can use every square inch of the mattress. You paid for it, so you should get to use it.
Memory foam mattresses aren’t usually the best with edge support, but I didn’t have too many issues on the TEMPUR-ProBreeze. It’s a thicker mattress with high-density foams, and it didn’t collapse too much when I sat near the edge. Lying down, I also didn’t feel like I was going to roll off.
That being said, if you want excellent edge support, take a look at one of our best firm mattresses.
Durability
Durability is always hard to gauge because I don’t have ten years to sleep on the TEMPUR-ProBreeze mattress. However, based on its construction and materials, I can deduce how long it will last.
The TEMPUR-ProBreeze is a substantial mattress that features multiple layers of high-density TEMPUR material. Based on my research and experience with other Tempur-Pedic mattresses, TEMPUR material is resilient and will last for many years to come. I would say it will last for at least ten years.
Off-gassing
The TEMPUR-ProBreeze came to my place fully expanded. Unlike other online mattresses, I did not need to wait for it to expand and off-gas. This means it did not let off any of that chemical smell you may experience with some new bed-in-a-box mattresses.
Noise
This mattress is about as quiet as you can get. It does not feature coils, and the thick TEMPUR material absorbs almost all motion and sound. I moved around and rolled around on the mattress and didn’t hear even one sound.
Sex
Unfortunately, the TEMPUR-ProBreeze is not a good mattress for sex. Sexual partners require a bouncier mattress to allow for easy movement. That is not what they are going to get with this mattress. It is slow-moving and lets you sink in, so moving around is not going to be so easy. If you want a better mattress for sex, consider a latex mattress or hybrid mattress.
TEMPUR-ProBreeze Company Policies
Whenever you’re buying a new mattress, make sure to look at the brand’s fine print. You don’t want to have warranty or return issues down the line.
Warranty Info
The TEMPUR-ProBreeze comes with a 10-year limited warranty. This covers defects in the mattress and premature sagging. It does not cover the expected softening of the mattress or damages caused by mistreatment of the mattress.
Sleep Trial
You get a 90-day sleep trial with the ProBreeze. If you have tried the mattress for 30 days, and it still isn’t working for you, Tempur-Pedic will help you with the return process.
Return Policy
Tempur-Pedic offers free shipping and white glove delivery with select mattresses. You may pay a fee for your return, however.
Common Tempur-Pedic Mattress Complaints
The main customer complaints I found were in regard to the return process. Some customers complained that the return policy was too rigid, and they were unhappy with their inability to return products for a full refund.
How Does The TEMPUR-ProBreeze Compare To Others?
Before you hit that buy button, make sure to do your comparison shopping. I’ve chosen a few relevant mattresses to show how the ProBreeze stacks up against the competition.

TEMPUR-ProBreeze MattressFirmness
Medium-firm: 6.5/10Score
The TEMPUR-Cloud is the most affordable mattress model from Tempur-Pedic. It is meant to compete with other value bed-in-a-box mattresses. Its design is much simpler than the ProBreeze. It features none of the cooling materials found in the ProBreeze and features a more streamlined design. At the same time, it offers the feel you expect from a Tempur-Pedic mattress, but at a much more reasonable price.
Who Should Get The TEMPUR-ProBreeze?
- Hot sleepers
- Those who want something deluxe
Who Should Get The TEMPUR-Cloud?
- Value shoppers
- Those who don’t sleep hot

Medium-firm: 6.5/10Score
Nectar is one of the most popular memory foam mattresses on the market and provides a value alternative to the Tempur-Pedic mattresses. While it does have a bit of that slow-moving feel, it is nothing compared to the ProBreeze. You’ll sink into the Nectar, but the ProBreeze really lets you sink in while it conforms to your body.
Also, while the Nectar mattress does feature some cooling materials, they are not as advanced as those found in the ProBreeze. It will most likely sleep hotter than the ProBreeze. However, these extra cooling materials make the ProBreeze cost significantly more than the Nectar.
Who Should Get The TEMPUR-ProBreeze?
- Hot sleepers
- Fans of a super slow-moving feel
Who Should Get The Nectar?
- Those on a budget
- Those who want more bounce
Final Thoughts
The TEMPUR-ProBreeze was as luxurious as I expected. It gave me that slow-moving Tempur-Pedic feel, but I did not overheat. And, it was just the right fit for back sleeping. At the same time, I believe stomach sleepers, people with mobility issues and those on a tight budget should keep looking.
