Written by Julia Forbes, Lead Product Tester
Tempur-Pedic is one of the original names when it comes to memory foam beds. In fact, their science-backed material was originally based on NASA seat material, which was so cushiony that it would increase survivability in the event of an accident. That is some seriously pressure-relieving material.
However, the main problem with memory foam is that it typically sleeps hot. Fortunately, Tempur-Pedic has developed the LuxeBreeze®, which not only provides pressure relief but is designed to be up to 10 degrees cooler.
I tested the Medium Hybrid version of the LuxeBreeze®, and in this review, I’ll talk honestly about the pros and cons so you can decide if this is the bed for you.

Who I Recommend the LuxeBreeze® For:
- Hot sleepers – this bed definitely felt like a true cooling mattress. In fact, the longer I lay on the bed, the cooler it felt like it got – excellent news for hot sleepers.
- Sleepers with joint pain – Tempur-Pedic’s pressure-relieving technology does not fail to deliver in this mattress. I think this could make it an excellent choice for those with joint pain, injuries, arthritis, or other sensitivities.
- Luxury shoppers – The LuxeBreeze® is expensive, costing a minimum of $5,000. However, if you can afford it, it should be worth it, especially if you need something great for keeping cool.
Who I Don’t Recommend the LuxeBreeze® For:
- Shoppers on a budget – As mentioned, this bed comes with a higher price tag. If you are looking for a more affordable but still high-quality mattress, our list of the best cooling mattresses can give you more options.
- Sleepers who want some bounce – Even though I tested the LuxeBreeze® Hybrid model, it wasn’t very bouncy. This was surprising considering coils often add more bounce to a mattress. If you prefer a cooling bed with a good amount of bounce, I’d recommend one of the best innerspring mattresses instead.
Customer Reviews of the Tempur-Pedic LuxeBreeze® Mattress
On the Tempur-Pedic website, the LuxeBreeze® is rated 4.4 out of 5 stars. Customers appreciate the LuxeBreeze® mattress for its exceptional comfort, but some find its price point too high.
Testing the Tempur-Pedic LuxeBreeze® Mattress
Sleep Advisor’s Testing Methodology
To review our mattresses, I test for key performance features, including pressure relief, support, firmness, motion isolation, bounce, edge support, and cooling.
I also evaluate how these beds perform for different sleep positions and body types. I’m an average-weight sleeper myself, so it’s important to include real testers of different body types to ensure my review is as comprehensive as possible. That’s why I had my colleagues Loren Bullock and Spencer Bland test this mattress for lightweight and heavyweight sleepers, respectively.
For more on our testing methodology, visit our product review process page.
Firmness & Feel
Firmness Scale: 6/10 (Medium)
On a mattress firmness scale from 1 to 10 in which 10 is the firmest, I gave this mattress a 6. The mattress is unique in that it is adaptive and heat-absorbing, so when I first lay down on it, it felt firmer; more like an 8. As I continued to lie there and the mattress absorbed heat, it softened to a 6.
How Does It Feel?
As I mentioned, this bed has a unique feel when you first lie down on it. It starts out feeling firmer, and then gradually, it softens while getting noticeably cooler. The foam is pliable and conforms to the body’s curves, and it takes a moment for it to bounce back into shape when moving positions or getting up from the bed.
Sleeping Positions for Different Body Types
According to Tempur-Pedic, their mattresses don’t have a weight limit.
Below, I’ll share what Loren, Spencer, and I found while testing this bed for different weight groups and sleep positions.
Side Sleepers
- Lightweight Sleepers – According to Loren, the cushioning was comfortable enough but on the firmer side, especially before the foam is “activated” with weight and heat on the surface.
- Average Weight Sleepers – I didn’t feel like my spine was sinking too much; everything remained aligned as I softly pressed into the mattress.
- Heavyweight Sleepers—Spencer experienced a lot of sinkage, especially as the foam got softer. He did add that it wasn’t too much sinkage, though.

Back Sleepers
- Lightweight Sleepers – Loren shared that her lumbar area felt protected against any sinking and misalignment. She experienced good pressure relief around her hips and shoulders.
- Average Weight Sleepers – There wasn’t as much sinking in this position as there was when I was on my side, but it still felt comfortable and supportive.
- Heavyweight Sleepers – Spencer said his weight distribution and spine alignment were at a comfortable level for back sleepers who prefer a soft-feeling mattress.
Stomach Sleepers
- Lightweight Sleepers – Based on Loren’s experience, petite stomach sleepers should feel a good amount of lumbar support and pressure relief on this mattress.
- Average Weight Sleepers – I think this bed will work well for most average-weight stomach sleepers, though there was a bit of curving in my lower back since it was slightly too soft under my hips.
- Heavyweight Sleepers – According to Spencer, heavyweight stomach sleepers likely won’t feel supported enough on this mattress, as it seems to grow softer as it cools the body.
Pressure Relief
4/5
The Tempur-Pedic LuxeBreeze® felt pliable under key pressure points like the hips and shoulders. When I was on my side, I could feel my shoulder and hip sinking comfortably into the mattress, but not so much that it compromised my spine’s alignment or made me feel “stuck.” On both my stomach and my back, my weight felt evenly distributed and supported, so I couldn’t feel any pressure building up.

Is the Tempur-Pedic LuxeBreeze® Good for Pain Relief?
In general, Tempur-Pedic beds can be helpful for pain relief as this high-quality memory foam hugs the body to help reduce pressure. However, it might not be supportive enough for some types of pain, depending on your body weight.
Back Pain
The LuxeBreeze® Hybrid that I tested should do a good job of relieving back pain for sleepers of any body type when sleeping on their backs or sides. On the stomach, however, I think this bed might be a little bit too soft for heavyweight sleepers, which could add to back pain.

Hip Pain
Hip pain is often caused by the hips dipping down into a too-soft mattress when sleeping on the stomach or not feeling cushioned enough on a too-firm mattress when sleeping on the side. This mattress does a good job relieving hip pain in both positions for most body types, though heavyweight stomach sleepers may want something slightly firmer if dealing with hip pain.

Shoulder Pain
Oftentimes, shoulder pain is caused by side-sleeping on a mattress that is too firm. Fortunately, this mattress should work well for most body types, absorbing pressure around the shoulder. Lightweight side sleepers may want to opt for the soft model, but I think most others should do well on the medium-firm mattress.

Support
4/5
When lying on this bed, I feel like my spine is in perfect alignment in most positions. On my side, there’s no feeling of slipping or uncomfortable angles. On my back, I felt completely supported; my spine was still lifted, but the sinking and cushioning felt amazing. On my stomach, I felt comfortable for the most part, but after a while, I could feel my hips starting to sink in, though not to the degree that my spine felt out of alignment.
For heavyweight sleepers, this bed should still be supportive, but you’ll definitely feel more like you’re sinking into it.
Motion Isolation
4/5
Motion transfer measures how much movement from one side transfers to the other side. It’s an important consideration for people sharing a bed, especially if one of you is a light sleeper. Luckily, with the Tempur-Pedic LuxeBreeze, I could barely feel any motion transfer.
Temperature Regulation / Cooling
5/5
This bed gets the highest score for its cooling abilities. It’s very cool to the touch, and I could feel the heat dissipating just seconds after lying down. I did test this mattress without sheets, but I am sure this level of cooling would be felt through the sheets, which would be very helpful for those who sleep hot.
Bounce
3/5
This hybrid bed doesn’t have the bouncy quality that innerspring mattresses or some other hybrids do, as it mostly feels like memory foam. The foam itself s not as responsive as some other foams; it takes a while to respond and bounce back into shape, especially as the foam is “activated” and has been made more pliable. At first, it feels firm, but it does not stay that way for long.
Edge Support
4/5
Edge support is an important quality, ensuring that you can use the full surface of the bed without the edges sinking down under your weight. Lying down on this bed, there was no movement or sinking beneath my weight whatsoever, even to the very edge of the mattress. Sitting on the edge of the bed, there was more sinking. That said, it still feels very easy to get in and out of bed.
Performance for Couples
4/5
Typically, couples who share a bed look for a few important qualities: motion isolation, cooling, bounce, and edge support. The LuxeBreeze® excels with motion isolation, cooling, and edge support, meaning couples should not disturb each other through the night, shouldn’t overheat, and should be able to use the entire surface of the bed. However, this mattress doesn’t have a lot of bounce, which may be preferable for some sexually active couples to help facilitate easier repositioning.
Preference-Based Features
Multiple Customizable Options
The TEMPUR-Breeze collection is customizable. You can select between the ProBreeze®or the LuxeBreeze®, and from there, you can choose between all-foam or hybrid, and between a variety of firmness options and mattress sizes.

Construction: What’s Inside the Tempur-Pedic LuxeBreeze®?
The construction of your Tempur-Pedic LuxeBreeze® will depend on the specific model you choose. This review focuses on the Medium Hybrid LuxeBreeze® because that’s what I tested, so the construction details below will be for that particular mattress.
The Medium Hybrid LuxeBreeze® is 13 inches tall and includes several layers for comfort, cooling, and support.
- The top layer is made of Tempur’s Pure Cool® Plus Material. This is an enhanced version of their exclusive cooling material that pulls heat away from the body and is designed to lower the mattress’s temperature by up to 10 degrees.
- Below is a layer of hybrid material. This foam transition layer is one of two layers separating the top cooling layer from the coils beneath. It provides easier movement and enhanced edge support.
- Moving further down, you’ll find the Ventilated Advanced Relief™ Material. This unit is made to relieve pressure and has added ventilation for increased airflow.
- The bottom layer is made up of over 1,300 double-stacked innerspring coils to provide you with extra support and airflow, compared to their all-foam model.
Unboxing & Off-Gassing
The Tempur-Pedic LuxeBreeze® arrived fully expanded, so I didn’t notice any chemical, off-gassing smell. I also didn’t have to deal with unboxing, as this bed comes with free white-glove delivery.

My Verdict
The Tempur-Pedic LuxeBreeze is an excellent choice for those who sleep hot at night. The cooling is top-notch; I could actually feel it working to dissipate heat as I lay there.
I would say the Medium Hybrid model is a good fit for light to heavyweight sleepers, though plus-size stomach sleepers may not get enough support as it softens over time.
Though this mattress works well in most positions, I don’t think it would work as well for combination sleepers who move between positions through the night because this foam takes a solid second to react. This bed earned an overall score of 4 out of 5.
