Description
The Original TEMPUR® Mattress, Reinvented
The TEMPUR® Form Mattress is the evolution of TEMPUR®’s original pioneer mattress — the product that created the category of viscoelastic mattresses and established TEMPUR® as the world’s reference point for pressure-relieving sleep. Redesigned with TEMPUR® Adapt Material and a refined internal structure, the Form delivers the iconic TEMPUR® sleeping experience in its purest, most essential form — pressure-relieving comfort, complete motion isolation, and the deep, personalised support that only genuine TEMPUR® material can provide.
TEMPUR® Adapt Material — Born from NASA Technology
At the heart of the Form is TEMPUR® Adapt Material — the original TEMPUR® viscoelastic foam, reinvented.
In the late 1960s, NASA scientists developed a viscoelastic material to cushion pilots against the intense forces of test flights. TEMPUR®’s founders recognised the sleep potential of this technology, spent years perfecting it, and created the world’s first viscoelastic mattress. TEMPUR® Adapt Material is the direct evolution of that founding material — composed of billions of ultrasensitive open cells that respond simultaneously to your unique body weight, shape, and warmth.
When you lie on the Form, the TEMPUR® Adapt Material softens precisely where your body makes contact — adapting to the exact contour of your shoulders, back, hips, and joints at that specific temperature and pressure. It does not cushion uniformly like standard foam. It does not push back like a spring. It adapts — individually and completely — to every unique contact point simultaneously. This is why TEMPUR® describes its material as providing comfort and support “out of this world.”
The material also absorbs motion with exceptional efficiency. Movement on one side of the mattress does not transfer to the other — making the Form particularly effective for couples where one partner’s movements would otherwise disturb the other’s sleep.
TEMPUR Fit™ Cover & Certifications
The Form uses TEMPUR®’s TEMPUR Fit™ Cover — a 100% polyester cover designed to enhance the TEMPUR® feel by allowing the material to conform perfectly to every inch of the body without restriction. The cover is removable and washable at 30°C.
The TEMPUR® Form carries OEKO-TEX® MADE IN GREEN certification — verifying that every component is rigorously tested to be free from harmful substances and produced in environmentally responsible facilities. It also holds TÜV quality certification for health, safety, environmental, and technical standards. The Form comes with a 10-year manufacturer’s guarantee. It is designed and made in Denmark.

FAQ:
Q: What is TEMPUR® Adapt Material and how is it different from standard memory foam?
TEMPUR® Adapt Material is not standard memory foam — it is TEMPUR®’s proprietary viscoelastic foam, and the distinction is technically meaningful.
Standard memory foam uses a viscoelastic formulation that responds primarily to body heat — it softens as it warms under body contact and slowly returns to shape as it cools. Its response is relatively uniform and relatively slow, and its density and formulation vary widely between manufacturers.
TEMPUR® Adapt Material responds simultaneously to three distinct inputs: body weight, body shape, and body warmth — adapting at each individual contact point to all three simultaneously rather than to temperature alone. Its formulation uses billions of ultrasensitive open cells that yield and conform in three dimensions rather than simply flattening. The result is a level of personalised, pressure-specific adaptation that standard memory foam cannot replicate.
TEMPUR® material is also significantly denser and more durable than standard memory foam — engineered to maintain its adaptiveness and shape retention across years of nightly use rather than progressively softening and losing structural integrity as lower-density foams do. The 10-year guarantee reflects this durability confidence.

Q: What is the difference between the TEMPUR® Form, the TEMPUR® Prima and the TEMPUR® Pro® Plus SmartCool™ — which one should I choose?
These three mattresses represent three distinct tiers within the TEMPUR® range — each using a different generation of TEMPUR® material and a different level of technology. Understanding the differences helps make the right choice clearly.
TEMPUR® Form uses TEMPUR® Adapt Material — the original TEMPUR® viscoelastic foam, reinvented and refined. It is TEMPUR®’s most essential mattress — the purest expression of the iconic TEMPUR® sleeping experience with no additional technology layers. It adapts to your body’s weight, shape, and warmth, providing the characteristic pressure relief and motion isolation that TEMPUR® is known for. Available in Original (22cm), Plus (25cm), and Ultra (27cm) heights. The Form is the right choice for those who want the classic, authentic TEMPUR® feel at the most accessible price point in the TEMPUR® mattress range.
TEMPUR® Prima uses TEMPUR® Advanced Material — the newest generation of TEMPUR® foam, which delivers 20% more pressure relief than the original TEMPUR® material. It adapts better, absorbs more motion, and is more resilient and long-lasting than the Adapt Material in the Form. The Prima brings the latest generation of TEMPUR® material at 21cm in height. The cover is ultra-soft and machine washable, keeping the mattress fresh and hygienic. The Prima is the right choice for those who want TEMPUR®’s most advanced foam technology with meaningfully improved pressure relief — as a step up from the Form.
TEMPUR® Pro® Plus SmartCool™ is TEMPUR®’s European best-selling mattress — and it combines the Advanced Material of the Prima with a more generous depth and active cooling technology. At 25cm in height, it contains more TEMPUR® Advanced Material than the Prima, delivering deeper conforming support and a more immersive adaptive experience. It adds TEMPUR® Dynamic Support Technology as a structural layer that works in concert with the Advanced Material to provide extra ease of movement, and the QuickRefresh™ washable cover with SmartCool™ Technology — a cool-to-the-touch fabric that actively absorbs excess body heat throughout the night. It is available in four firmness options: Soft, Medium, Medium Firm, and Firm. The Pro® Plus is the right choice for those who want the deepest, most personalised TEMPUR® experience — with active cooling and the widest firmness selection — and represents TEMPUR®’s European bestselling model for good reason.
Q: How does the TEMPUR® Form compare to a spring mattress — what does a purely foam construction offer that springs cannot?
The TEMPUR® Form and a spring mattress deliver fundamentally different sleeping experiences — each with specific advantages.
Springs provide immediate, responsive support — they push back against body weight dynamically, which many sleepers find comfortable and which makes repositioning during the night easier. Spring systems also allow for zoned firmness through differential spring tension, and hybrid constructions combine springs with comfort layers for a varied feel.
The TEMPUR® Form provides something springs fundamentally cannot: true three-dimensional body adaptation at every contact point simultaneously. Springs respond to vertical pressure. TEMPUR® Adapt Material responds to the specific combination of weight, contour, and warmth at each point — conforming to the exact shape of your shoulder, your hip’s curved surface, your spine’s natural curve — rather than simply supporting against a downward force.
For pressure point relief specifically, TEMPUR®’s adaptation is consistently superior to spring-based systems. For motion isolation — one of the Form’s strongest performance characteristics — TEMPUR® foam eliminates virtually all motion transfer, which spring systems cannot match. For those with chronic pressure point issues, joint pain, or a partner whose movements regularly disturb their sleep, the Form’s purely adaptive foam construction offers advantages that no spring system can replicate. learn more about TEMPUR® → https://www.tempur.com
Q: The TEMPUR® Form costs more than standard memory foam mattresses — what justifies this investment?
The price reflects the specific technical and quality distinctions that separate TEMPUR® material from the commodity memory foam used in lower-priced alternatives.
TEMPUR® Adapt Material is produced to a density and formulation specification that no standard memory foam manufacturer meets — its density of approximately 5.3 lbs/ft³ is nearly double the 3.0 lbs/ft³ typical of standard memory foam. This density is what gives TEMPUR® its characteristic responsiveness, durability, and resistance to progressive softening. Standard memory foam loses structural integrity over time — its cells break down progressively under repeated compression. TEMPUR® material maintains its adaptive properties across the 10-year guarantee period and beyond.
TEMPUR® is the only mattress brand recognised by NASA for outstanding achievement in adapting original NASA technology for everyday use — a recognition from a joint press conference in 1998. The OEKO-TEX® MADE IN GREEN and TÜV certifications represent independent, third-party verified quality and safety standards that commodity mattress manufacturers rarely achieve or pursue.
Made in Denmark under TEMPUR®’s own manufacturing standards, rather than outsourced to volume production facilities, the Form reflects a quality control standard that is embedded in every step of production.
For those who have previously used standard memory foam and found it disappointing — too warm, too slow-recovering, losing its shape within years — the TEMPUR® Form represents a genuinely different tier of product rather than a more expensive version of the same experience.
