Marten: Hey guys, Marten here from Mattress Clarity.
Unless you've been living in a cave, you've probably heard of Tempur-Pedic.
They were one of the pioneers of the memory foam mattress.
When I heard about their topper, I was really excited to try it out.
See if it has that classic Tempur-Pedic feel.
I want to talk about the construction, my experience with it, who it's a good for, and
who it's not a good fit for.
Is it the right fit for you?
Let's find out.

Marten: I want to talk about the design of the TEMPUR-Topper Supreme.
First I want to say, if you want to see a list of my top picks for mattress toppers,
just go to Mattress Clarity, best mattress topper.
Let's look at the TEMPUR-Topper Supreme.
First off, it's going to be three inches thick.
On the outside from the top cover, you're going to have a polyester blend.
On the bottom is going to be cotton, polyester blend as well.
More of a canvas feel.
Going to give the topper some traction so it won't move around quite so much on top
of your mattress.
You probably want to know what's inside.
Let's take a look.
The cover is actually removable, which is awesome.
You can wash it at home.
Keep this topper clean.
A very, very nice option.
On the inside, you have three inches of a TEMPUR material.
This is a very soft memory foam.
Slow moving even for a memory foam.
Very, very slow moving.
Also, very high density as well.
In terms of size options, you have twin, twin long, double, queen, king and California king.
Now I want to talk about my experience with the TEMPUR-Topper.
First off, you get this topper at your house in a box.
You take it out.
It is going to be rolled up.
You take off that thick plastic.
Put it right on your bed.
It is a softer memory foam.
It takes a little bit of time to expand, but I was able to use this topper that night.
Also, in terms of off gassing not a lot of off gassing.
Not too much of that chemical smell.
Very nice in that respect.
To test out the firmness of this topper, I put it on top of a mattress that was close
to a 9 out of 10 in terms of firmness.
This brought the mattress down to a 6 out of 10.
A very soft mattress topper.
That is three points of firmness taken off the mattress.
In terms of sleeping position, starting on my back was a very nice match for me.
The mattress pillow was too firm for me when I was on my back.
This softens it up quite a bit.
My hips sink in the right amount.
Also, some nice contouring and this foam presses up into my lumbar area.
Very, very nice for back sleeping.
Moving to my side.
This topper really shines.
Lying on my side, I am feeling almost no pressure on my shoulders and my hips.
I'm a larger person.
A lot of times, I press right through toppers.
I hit the mattress beneath, so I don't feel the best pressure relief.
With the TEMPUR-Topper here, not the issue.
Amazing pressure relief.
Moving from my stomach, it is softening the mattress quite a bit.
I'm bowing at the hips.
Getting out of alignment.
Not the best match for stomach sleeping.
In terms of feel, as I said before, it does have this very, very soft slow-moving memory
foam feel.
Even for memory foam, a very slow-moving memory foam.
Very quick sandy.
Also, very high density as well.
Also a big issue with the memory foam toppers, is warmth.
They can trap heat.
With the TEMPUR-Topper, I can say I was sleeping a little bit warmer at night.
Maybe not the best option for hot sleepers.
I want to talk about the pros.
Who I think this topper might be a good fit for.
First off, I think if you're looking for something for back sleeping this is definitely a good
option.
If you have your mattress that is way too firm for you, your hips don't sink in quite
enough, going with the TEMPUR-Topper is definitely a good idea.
Softens up the mattress.
Your hips will sink in a little bit more.
You'll feel some nice foam pressing up into your lumbar area.
It's a very good choice for back sleeping.
I think also this really shines again with side sleepers.
If you sleep on your side primarily, definitely check out the TEMPUR-Topper.
Softens the mattress quite a bit.
I think even if you're a larger person, you won't bottom out from the top.
You'll feel nice pressure relief on your shoulders and your hips.
Even if you're a lighter person, a great option there as well.
If you like that memory foam feel, that classic memory foam feel, Tempur-Pedic was that feel.
That is that classic memory foam feel.
Very slow moving.
Very quick sandy.
If you like to slowly sink into your mattress, the TEMPUR-Topper is definitely a good option.
Last but not least, if you sleep with a partner you find yourselves waking each other up at
night because of your movement.
Take a look at the TEMPUR-Topper.
With this thick memory foam, it'll help cut down on motion transfer so you and your partner
will sleep better throughout the night.
Let's talk about the cons.
Who I think this topper may not be the best fit for.
First off, if you sleep primarily on your stomach you might want to look elsewhere.
This is going to soften your mattress quite a bit.
This could cause your hips to bow in when you're on your stomach.
You get out of alignment.
Not the best match for stomach sleepers.
Also, if you're a hot sleeper this is probably not the best choice for you.
One of the things with memory foam like this is it can trap heat.
Actually direct it back at you.
When you're on top of this topper, you can actually find yourself sleeping hot through
the night.
Also, if you have trouble moving around at night, you have mobility issues, probably
not the best topper for you.
Again, it is that slow moving memory foam feel.
If you have trouble moving around at night you're worried about getting stuck in your
mattress topper, probably not the best choice.
Finally, right now at full price, this topper is $400 for a queen size.
I think it's a good value when you consider what you're getting, but it might be outside
of people's price ranges.
There are definitely more affordable memory foam mattress toppers out there.
In the end, I think this mattress topper is a great option for back sleepers, side sleepers
and those who want that slow-moving memory foam feel.
It also comes with a 25-year warranty and free shipping.
That's about it.
